Former Arsenal defender, William Gallas has named the Gunners as the flop of the Premier League season.

The Frenchman said he was disappointed with the performances of Arsenal this ongoing campaign.

According to Gallas, Arsenal have dropped in performance compared to the last two seasons.

Arsenal are expected to finish in the second position on the Premier League table after Liverpool were confirmed champions following their 5-1 win against Tottenham last weekend.

Mikel Arteta’s men are in second position ahead of the likes of Manchester City, Newcastle United Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.

Speaking to Prime Casino, Gallas said:
“In the Premier League, Arsenal are my flops of the season! If you compare last season and the one from two years ago with this season, their performance has not been good at all.

“Their performances in the Premier League have not been good enough. I’m sorry, I am still disappointed in them, regardless of the Champions League.

“After those high quality and world class performances against Real Madrid, I wanted more from them in the league.

“I am angry about what happened in the league. I am furious even, because I can’t accept one level of performance in the Champions League and a different level of performance in the Premier League,” he added.

Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford, has turned down moves to three Premier League clubs so far.

This comes amid speculation that Barcelona are considering signing the 27-year-old.

The three English teams Rashford has snubbed are believed to be Chelsea, Newcastle and Aston Villa.

Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Villa and is seeking a permanent move away from United.

Barcelona, however, have made a move for Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams their priority this summer.

Williams has a €58 million (£48.1m) release clause in his deal and was close to joining the LaLiga champions last year.

According to Sport, Barca are now intent to make the transfer happen, but will still consider signing Rashford alongside the Spain winger.

Ex-Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has warned summer signing Florian Wirtz about meeting expectations at the Premier League champions.

The £116m that the Reds will pay Bayer Leverkusen for the 22-year-old, makes him the most expensive British player.

And Klopp fears that the price tag will put a target on Wirtz’s back.

He however hailed Wirtz as an “outstanding player”, while stating that the playmaker will be “aware” of his substantial fee.

“There’s no question about it, it’s an insane sum, and one that a player at Liverpool is aware of if things don’t go well for two or three games,” Klopp told Welt.

“He’s an outstanding player who can give any club something great.

“Whether he’ll make the reigning English champions even better remains to be seen.”
