Hello and welcome to the Football Daily podcast with me, Kelly Cates.

Coming up, we'll be chatting all things Arsenal as the gunners aim to lift the

Premier League trophy after three consecutive second place finishes.

Joining us for the next hour, BBC's senior football news reporter Alex Howell,

host of the Canon podcast, Alex Moneypenny and former Arsenal in England forward.

Theo Walcott is here.

Theo, we just heard, as you will have very clearly noticed,

your goal for Southampton joined Arsenal's title run in two years ago.

Feeling a little guilty? No, I'm just doing my job like everyone else doing their job,

you know, correctly tonight. No, stitch me up proper there, I've got to say. I've actually

had a few people on the street pull up to me and always say to me, how could you do that? How could

you score against us? And it's just matter what people think at times. You've got to do a always say to me, how could you do that? How could you score against us?

And it's just a matter what people think at times. You've got to do a job. But yeah, it was my last ever goal for us. What were you expected? What did they expect you to do? Exactly. Exactly. You can't win, but that's that's the life of being a football, I suppose. But look, it was a very interesting even for me but we were winning at a time when I came off so So, you know, I did my job, but the team sadly failed towards the end. But look, Arsenal this year, it's going to be tough still. I do believe that. I'm not sure how you guys feel. But I love the transfer market. I love the window. What everyone's doing, that's the worry, what everyone's doing for me. and the number nine, number 14. It's what they've been craving for,

but it's just going to take time,

and I don't think he's got it. I really don't. Alex Moneypenny, as the season approaches very, very quickly, how are you feeling? Excited, apprehensive? What are your thoughts and your feelings? You've got to be excited this time of the season. You've got to have that hopeful delusion as a fan, surely. Yeah, I think Theo kind of said it. I think, yeah, I do have concerns, but I think I'm positive. I do think what we've done in the window I'm happy with so far. I'd love to see us do a couple more things towards in. and we'll'll talk about a little bit later. But yeah, I'm positive. I think this part of the season, we talk so much about transfers and the stuff that doesn't, for me, it doesn't affect loads of stuff, but it's, yeah, I'm really good forward to the football actually starting and talking about that again. I'm looking forward to that. Yeah, well, you might think it doesn't affect loads of stuff, but it is where we're going to start our conversation this evening. So Alex Hald, just kind of bring us up to date with where Arsenal are in terms of the transfer window. Who are the big ins and outs for them? So Arsenal, have been busy, as you said, six players in, five of those went on tour.

They signed Nani Madiwakei from Chelsea, who didn't go.

They left here to give him a bit of a break after the Club World Cup to easing him and have him fresh for the season.

Christian Norgaard for a bit of experience to replace Georgino in midfield.

Christian Muscarra, the centreback.

And then the big one, which Fio touched on there, is Victor Yocchrez, of course, the striker.
