PLAYER NEWS

Igor Tyjon ARS

Tyjon has completed a permanent transfer from Blackburn Rovers to Arsenal, the club announced.

Viktor Gyokeres ARS

Gyokeres was an unused substitute in Arsenal's season opener against Coventry, with coach Mikel Arteta suggesting both physical and tactical considerations influenced his decision. "For different reasons, some of them physical, some players can't last 60-90 minutes and we didn't want to expose them. Some of them are tactical and depend on the game, that's it."

Nicolas Jackson AVL

Jackson has completed a transfer to Aston Villa from Chelsea, according to his new club.

Leon Bailey AVL

Bailey (strain) is unlikely to feature in Monday's Premier League clash against Arsenal as he continues to train away from the Aston Villa first team, according to The Athletic.
