Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has shared what he believes the Gunners must do to beat Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final clash.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday night’s first leg at the Emirates, Merson said Arsenal must make the most of their home advantage by grabbing a convincing win if they want to stand a chance in Madrid.

According to him, a narrow win won’t be enough. “They need at least a two-goal lead before heading to Spain,” he told Sky Sports. “One goal might not cut it.”

He pointed out that although Real Madrid have been shaky lately, especially in defence, their ability to rise to the occasion in Europe remains a big threat.

“Even when they’re not in top form, they always deliver in the Champions League. That’s what Arsenal should be worried about,” he added.

Liverpool have officially stepped into the race to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo. As reported by ESPN Brasil, the Premier League side is pushing to bring in the Brazilian forward this summer.

Rodrygo had limited playing time during the FIFA Club World Cup in the U.S., which has caused questions about his future at Madrid. With the new season approaching, a final decision from the player is expected soon.

In a separate update, Manchester City are closing in on the signing of young attacking midfielder Dexter Oliver from Tottenham. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed that the deal is expected to be finalized within the next two days. Oliver will be a fresh addition to Man City’s Academy setup as the club continues its focus on grooming top young talent.

There’s been a breakthrough in the ongoing transfer talks between Napoli and Galatasaray over Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Sports presenter Volkan Kılıç shared on Wednesday night that both clubs have finally reached an agreement, and the official announcement is expected before the weekend.

“A middle ground has been found in the Osimhen transfer. An agreement has been reached,” Kılıç posted on X. “I expect the Osimhen transfer to be announced by the weekend at the latest. Congratulations in advance.”

This marks a huge shift from just a week ago when Kılıç had reported that the deal was still uncertain due to Napoli’s financial demands. Back then, he explained that Galatasaray’s top official, Abdullah Kavukcu, was working hard behind the scenes to seal the deal. Napoli reportedly wanted most of the payment upfront along with extra financial guarantees.

At one point, Kılıç even claimed that Galatasaray were prepared to switch their focus to Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak if talks with Napoli collapsed. But with the latest agreement now in place, the Turkish club has no reason to explore that option anymore.
