✅ Emile Smith Rowe ✅ Eddie Nketiah ✅ Reiss Nelson ✅ Matteo Guendouzi ✅ Nicolas Pépé ✅ Kieran Tierney ✅ Aaron Ramsdale 🔸Since leaving Arsenal, none of them have taken their careers to the next level, despite playing for smaller clubs. 🔸Many people criticised Mikel Arteta over these decisions, but time has proven that Arteta’s vision was on another level. #ars

🗣️ Mikel Arteta shared about Gyokeres' performance after the match against Everton and whether he is unlucky in scoring: ❝ Yes, I think he was quite unlucky. There were 2 or 3 situations where he was in a favorable position in front of the goal, took the position ahead of the two opposing center-backs, but the ball just couldn't reach him. However, today he still managed to do a lot of positive things and we need to continue to be persistent. I also think he had very good contributions in the match at Munich. Since coming on, he has helped us change the course of the match and that is exactly what we need from all the players. ❞ #Arsenal

Congratulations to former player Arsenal for winning the prestigious Golden Ball award 2026. #ars

Bukayo Saka has won the Socrates Award at the Golden Ball ceremony for his enduring humanitarian contributions. The award is named after the legendary Brazilian footballer Socrates. It was first presented in 2022 to Sadio Mané, in recognition of the player's most outstanding humanitarian activities worldwide. Bukayo Saka and his family have collaborated with many charities, including a long-term project with BigShoe, supporting healthcare and humanitarian relief for children and families in need in London and many other places around the world. These efforts have helped fund emergency housing and shelters for families displaced after devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Morocco. The program also enables over 100 children in Nigeria and many other African countries to undergo life-changing surgeries that are otherwise inaccessible to them. The entire club congratulates Bukayo on this remarkable achievement. #Arsenal #BallonDor26

Everything really does happen for a reason. People may say Harry Kane spent too long at Spurs and missed his opportunity to win trophies, but season after season, he proved he was one of the best strikers in the world. All he needed was the right platform, and he finally got it. Kane is a master finisher and a complete forward. You could write an entire book about his movement inside the box, his positioning, and his ability to find the back of the net. Add his exceptional passing range when he drops deep, and you have a truly world-class striker. His moment has finally arrived. Genuinely happy for Harry Kane. Well deserved. Congratulations! 👏 #BallonDor @HKane

I’ve just realized that Burna Boy is the African Giant tbh not Dad’s boy Davido 😂😂 #BallonDor

Manchester United at the Ballon d’Or ceremony: watching other clubs’ players collect recognition while their own players collect excuses. No Ballon d’Or buzz, no bragging rights, just 20-minute YouTube compilations titled “Prime United was different.” Your history is legendary, but your present is a documentary about what went wrong. #BallonDor

Coach of the year in our books is Arteta not that mumu #BallonDor

Dembele has a better career than Mbappe 💯 #BallonDor

Women are not left out and its so satisfying to watch.😍😍 #BallonDor

Two hours of French and the only words I caught were Paris Saint-Germain. #BallonDor

🗣️ Bukayo Saka at the Ballon d’Or ceremony: “People will always judge you by the trophies you win, but I want to be remembered for what I gave to Arsenal, not just what I won. This club believed in me when I was just a kid, and I’ll give everything to bring the biggest trophies back to North London.” ❤️ Once a Hale End boy, always a Gunner. #BallonDor #COYG #Saka

The Ballon d’Or is supposed to reward greatness, not just goals and statistics. Giving it to Harry Kane over players who have defined an era would be a disgrace to the award’s legacy. When Messi won it, we witnessed history. Don’t cheapen that legacy. Reward the magicians who make us dream. Yamal deserves to win the Ballon D’or nit Kane #BallonDor  #Harrykane #Yamal

Rice – 15th Gabriel – 21st Saliba – 29th A little lower than I expected, but we have to acknowledge that this is a World Cup year, and performances at the World Cup tend to carry more weight. So these rankings are understandable, given that all three had a World Cup that fell slightly short of expectations. When it comes to the Ballon d’Or, people mainly care about the top three. The rest of the rankings don’t really matter that much. Being nominated in the top 30 is already an achievement in itself. #ars

2 assists in 2 games for Viktor Gyökeres. While Kai Havertz is still trying to prove his worth, Gyökeres is contributing goals AND assists. Are we finally ready to admit what this man brings to Arsenal? #ars ❤️🤍

Mikel Arteta deserves serious credit for the work he has done at Arsenal. He turned us from a struggling team into genuine contenders for the biggest trophies. The mentality, tactical discipline, squad depth and winning culture are no coincidence. Arteta is building something special at Arsenal. Now, let’s finish the job and bring those trophies home! 🏆 #ars
