Arsenal fans have every reason to feel both elated and apprehensive at the moment. On the one hand, they can boast that their club has the best player in the world, and on the other, they are grappling with grave concerns over the kit design for next season. The reigning Premier League Golden Boot holder and former Dortmund striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has been in sensational form for the Gunners, and looks set to dominate for years to come. However, reports of a questionable kit design for next season have cast a shadow over the club’s preparations for the new campaign. In this article, we take a closer look at both these issues and assess their impact on Arsenal’s fortunes in the coming months.
As the international break comes to an end, football critics have plenty to discuss in this week’s Mediawatch, which focuses on North London-centric news. The Sun claims that Arsenal fans have only one concern about their potentially new home shirt after it was leaked online: that it has a bit of gold trim. The newspaper has reportedly received tweets from all six Arsenal fans who believe winning the league would be necessary to justify the gold-trimmed kit. However, Reading Between the Lines points out that Leicester and Wolves have had gold-trimmed shirts without any complaints in recent years.
Meanwhile, it was reported that Zinedine Zidane had been named on Tottenham’s shortlist, but a closer look showed that last summer’s managerial quotes only mentioned a preference not to go to Manchester United because of his lack of English fluency. In other news, Tony Adams’ recent Sun column praised Arsenal player Bukayo Saka, stating: “If there’s a better player in world football at the moment, someone who both scores and makes goals, the only one I can think of is Lionel Messi.” Although many outlets reiterated Adams’ comments, the Daily Mail’s report claimed that Adams claimed Saka to be the best player alongside Messi. Readers were quick to point out that Adams never made such a claim.
In conclusion, while there’s no doubt that Arsenal boast the best player in the world, there are certainly concerns over next season’s kit that need to be addressed. The Gunners faithful will be hoping that the club takes these concerns seriously and delivers a kit that meets their expectations. As we eagerly wait for the new season to kick off, only time will tell whether Arsenal can maintain their form on the pitch with the added pressure of a questionable kit design. Nevertheless, the love and support for Arsenal among its fans remain steadfast, and we’ll continue to stand by the club through thick and thin.
