Arsenal played it safe against Dortmund, claims Neven Subotic

Neven Subotic felt Borussia Dortmund got their just reward after the Bundesliga side blew  Champions League  Group F wide open with victory at  Arsenal  on Tuesday. The visitors took the lead in the 16th minute through Henrikh Mkhitaryan after Aaron Ramsey was caught in possession on the edge of the box. Arsène Wenger ’s men worked their way back into the game and  Olivier Giroud  slammed home an equaliser from Bacary Sagna’s cross just before half-time. But Dortmund had the final say as Robert Lewandowski finished off a sweeping counter-attack in the 82nd minute to leave Dortmund, Napoli and Arsenal all on six points in Group F. “I don’t think Arsenal were playing their best football – they were trying to play pretty safe,” Subotic said. “They felt they were going to score one goal more than us through their patience and through their play, but we ran a lot and defended very well and had some great chances. “We are obviously very happy with th...

Arsenal have parted with flop Lucas Perez.

LUCAS PEREZ IS NOW A WEST HAM PLAYER. The Spaniard has joined Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham on a three-year contract. Perez, who arrived at the Emirates from from Deportivo La Coruna in 2016, leaves for just £4m two-years later – that’s less than a quarter of the £17m fee the Gunners paid for the striker. He is Manuel Pellegrini’s ninth summer signing and their second from Arsenal following the capture of Jack Wilshere last month. As reported by BBC Sport, Perez said: “I’m very happy to be here at such an historic club. “I’m very excited, as West Ham are giving me the chance to stay in the Premier League and I’m very happy to be part of this new project. “West Ham have great fans and play in an amazing stadium, so to sign here brings me great joy. I’m very motivated.” Perez struggled to make an impression on both Arsene Wenger in his debut season and Unai Emery this summer. The striker, who netted a hat-trick on his Champions League debut for the Gunners, leaves after making just two Pr...

   Arsenal have completed the signing of Portugal defender Cedric Soares from Southampton. The 28-year-old has joined Mikel Arteta's side on loan until the end of the season but he only has six months remaining on his contract at Southampton. He will compete alongside Hector Bellerin for the right-back slot with the Gunners and revealed he nearly joined the club previously in his career, but did not specify when. This has been the expectation of  so many fans, they have demanded for a proper cover for the right full back instead of using Niles in the wrong position which has cost the team some few times. 'We were close a few years ago, so it's not the first time,' Cedric said upon the completion of his move. 'It didn't happen that time but now thank God it came true. I'm super happy.  'It was important for me in my career to come here. Southampton gave me the opportunity to play in the Premier League but obviously it's amazing...
