A New Star on the Horizon
Arsenal is on the verge of securing the promising talent of 15-year-old Alexander Smith from Rangers.
The young attacking midfielder, who hails from Scotland and has dual citizenship, has made waves by representing both the USA Under-15's and the Scotland Under-16 team, where he has shown his skills with a goal in five appearances.
Eye on the Prize
The Gunners have been keeping a close watch on Smith and are prepared to offer Rangers a significant six-figure compensation fee to acquire his services.
Smith's standout performance at the East Mallorca Cup in Spain last April, where he earned four Man of the Match awards in five matches, has only added to his growing reputation, including a memorable victory over Liverpool.
Future Plans for Arsenal
Arsenal's interest in nurturing young talent doesn't stop with Smith, as they are also reportedly monitoring Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams for a potential summer transfer.
Williams, who has impressed with his five goals and 10 assists in 24 games this season, has also drawn attention for his displays with the Spanish national team.
In addition, Ajax prodigy Jorrel Hato, a 17-year-old talent who has already led Ajax as captain, is another name on Arsenal's radar. Hato's versatility in central defense and left-back positions could provide valuable depth to the Gunners' squad.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the Premier League champion?
The Premier League is won by the team who accumulates the most number of points throughout the 38 match season. Three points are given to teams for winning, one point for drawing, and no points are awarded if the team loses. In the case of two teams having the same total of points for the entire season, the winner of the league is determined by goal differences and, if necessary, number of goals. If the teams are still level, a playoff at a neutral venue may be used to decide the title, although this scenario has never occurred in Premier League history.
What is VAR’s role in Premier League?
In the Premier League system, Video Assistant Referee is used by referees to make correct decisions on goals, penalty calls, direct red-card incidents and in cases of mistaken identities. The VAR examines the footage of the incident and provides advice to the on-field referee. They can also view a video replay at the pitchside monitor, before making their final decision. The system’s goal is to minimize any human errors that may affect the result of a game.
What do you think of the Premier League concept called the ‘Big Six?
The Big Six refers specifically to a group of Premier League clubs who have had the most success and influence in recent years. The list typically includes Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur. These teams are known as having a strong fan base with a lot of money, for their high-level performances, and for qualifying frequently for European tournaments like the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Cup.
