Today's Arsecast Extra comes in three parts. In the first, we chat about the confirmation of Martin Zubimendi's transfer and what he'll bring to the team; the big striker news as it appears Arsenal have decided to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting; reported interest in Chelsea's Noni Madueke and how that stacks up; Leandro Trossard linked with a move to Fenerbahce; and Takehiro Tomiyasu's slightly unexpected departure.

Part 2 begins at 45'05 and runs until 1:13'09. We discuss the fact that Thomas Partey has been charged by the Met Police with rape and sexual assault. We understand this might be difficult for some listeners, so you can skip if it's not something you want to listen to, but we talk about the news being public, the way Arsenal handled the situation as a whole, the responsibility of those at the top of the club to uphold values, and how we felt about a possible contract extension. This is the article mentioned in the discussion - https://substack.com/inbox/post/167542986

In the third part, it's listener questions involving Ethan Nwaneri's contract, Gabriel Heinze being added to the coaching staff, how transfer rumours like the Gyokeres one on Sunday disseminate, and more.
