Story summary

Arsenal have signed Vincent Joseph, a 16-year-old striker from Liverpool's youth academy, marking another move in the January transfer period. Despite spending nine years at Liverpool, where he scored three goals for their U18 team and eight for England’s U16s, Joseph chose Arsenal over remaining with Liverpool. The young talent impressed at international level alongside other promising players like Emerson Nwaneri and Charlie Phillips.

Joseph's arrival comes as Arsenal also reportedly eye Rio Ngumoha, another highly regarded young player from Liverpool who recently made his first-team debut for the club at 16 years old, becoming their second-youngest senior debutant. However, a tribunal ruled that Chelsea are owed £2.8 million plus potential add-ons up to £4 million if Ngumoha leaves.

Meanwhile, Liverpool remain interested in signing Lamine Camara, who missed out on joining Chelsea during the summer transfer window. Manchester United have also entered the race for Brazilian sensation Endrick, with Tottenham reportedly considering Italian football executive Piero Ausilio as their new sporting director to strengthen their transfer activities.

🔮 A statement via the Premier League website reads: “Despite being sent off for two bookable offences in Chelsea's defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, and receiving an automatic one-match suspension, Cole Palmer will not miss any Premier League matches.
🔮 The 16-year-old sensation will now serve a three-match suspension after Arsenal’s appeal against his red card was dismissed by the Football Association (FA) on Thursday, meaning he will definitely not play any part against Liverpool as Arteta faces problems out wide.
🔮 However, Brighton’s hopes of avenging their Carabao Cup exit have been boosted after Hurzeler revealed that the trio are expected to be available for selection at the Etihad.
🔮 A booking at Anfield would move Arteta onto three yellow cards - which for managers guarantees a one-match suspension - so the Gunners boss would have to serve a touchline ban six days later at home to Hull in the final game before the November international break.
🔮 Fleetwood’s reward for beating Premier League champions Arsenal on Tuesday night is another home tie, though they will have to wait until Thursday to find out their opponents as Everton face Newcastle in the final fourth round clash.
🔮 Following the conclusion of the fourth-round ties, 16 teams will have become just eight as they discover who they will face off against in December to reach the two-legged semi-finals.
🔮 As Arsenal have key injuries in wide areas and now Dowman’s suspension has been added to the mix, supporters will be desperate for a positive update on Madueke before the Liverpool game.
🔮 As such, it was not much of a surprise too see the midfielder absent from the Gunners’ matchday squad against Fleetwood as he was expected to have been given the night off in preparation for Sunday’s Premier League showdown with Liverpool at Anfield.
🔮 PSG took home the men’s award, though the majority of the squad couldn’t be in attendance due to their Ligue 1 fixture away to rivals Lyon being rearranged for the evening of the ceremony.
🔮 London Palladium plays host to the 2026 ceremony on Monday evening as the best footballers in the world over the past 12 months will be crowned.

Narrative

Ngumoha is widely regarded as one of the most talented young players in English football, having made quick progress since arriving at Anfield in September 2024 after rejecting multiple contract offers to remain at Chelsea, who a tribunal later ruled were owed at least £2.8million with potential add-ons rising to £4m. He initially joined Liverpool’s academy setup, but impressed so much that he swiftly made his first-team debut for the club under former boss Arne Slot in the FA Cup in January 2025 aged just 16 years and 135 days, their second-youngest senior debutant of all time.
