Arsenal triumph over Man City in Community Shield showdown

Arsenal secured a psychological boost in their bid to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title by defeating Pep Guardiola’s team in a gripping Community Shield match, ultimately triumphing in a penalty shootout.

The match remained relatively uneventful for much of the 70 minutes of regulation play in this season’s curtain-raiser. A breakthrough seemed imminent when substitute Cole Palmer of Manchester City unleashed a stunning curled strike, seemingly sealing victory.

However, Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard had other plans, equalizing in the 101st minute as his shot deflected into the back of the net. With the score level, the game was decided through a tense penalty shootout.

In the shootout, Kevin de Bruyne struck the crossbar, while Rodri saw his effort saved. Fabio Vieira capitalised on the opportunity, converting his penalty to secure the Community Shield silverware for Arsenal.

The victory serves as a boost for Arsenal, who led the Premier League standings for 248 days in the previous season but ultimately saw their title challenge slip away to City

Chelsea in talks to secure signing of Mohammed Kudus from Ajax

Chelsea have expressed a keen interest in signing Ajax’s talented attacking midfielder, Mohammed Kudus, according to The Athletic. 

Though no formal offer has been submitted yet, initial discussions have taken place between the Premier League club and their Dutch counterparts.

Kudus is among the top options being considered by Chelsea for bolstering their squad. The two parties are reportedly close to reaching an agreement on personal terms with the player.

Under contract with Ajax until 2025, the 22-year-old declined a one-year extension offer from the club in April and has expressed his desire to move on from the Johan Cruyff Arena.

The dynamic midfielder showcased his prowess during the previous season, notching up an impressive tally of 18 goals and seven assists in 42 appearances across all competitions for Ajax.

He further displayed his international potential by netting twice for Ghana in the group stages of the World Cup in Qatar last November, earning the accolade of the Player of the Year at the Ghana Football Awards.

Since his debut in Dutch football, Kudus has exhibited his versatility, featuring in seven different positions, ranging from a deep-lying No 6 role to playing as an out-and-out centre-forward. His ability to cause havoc on the right wing by taking on full-backs has been a notable aspect of his gameplay
