Arsenal pull new home shirt while ‘design error’ is rectified by Adidas
Arsenal have been forced to pull their new home shirt from shelves while a “design error” is corrected by kit manufacturer Adidas. The authentic home shirt, with a retail price of £110, has been made temporarily unavailable and Adidas has said supporters who had already purchased the 2023/24 jersey will be refunded. The shirt honours Arsenal’s ‘Invincible’ season 20 years on from when Arsene Wenger’s side went unbeaten throughout an entire Premier League campaign. Within the design, the outcome of the 38 results is detailed with a row of W’s and D’s to highlight the wins and draws from across the season. However, the authentic shirt – that which is worn by the players on a matchday – only carried 32 of those results and has since been removed from sale. “The 2023-24 Arsenal home authentic jerseys are temporarily unavailable while a design error is being corrected,” Adidas said in a statement to the PA news agency. This design error falls short of the standards we set ourselves as a brand, and we apologise to the club and its fans Adidas statement “We are working closely with the club and our partners to ensure restocked jerseys are available as soon as possible, and are offering full refunds to fans who have already bought one. “This design error falls short of the standards we set ourselves as a brand, and we apologise to the club and its fans. “The replica ‘fan’ version of the home jersey is unaffected and widely available now.” The ‘fan’ shirt is the same design but is a cheaper option for supporters, retailing at £80 through Arsenal’s official club shop.

Harry Maguire retrial at Greek court to be held in February
Harry Maguire’s retrial at a Greek court will be held in February, the PA news agency understands. The Manchester United and England defender was handed a suspended 21-month sentence in August 2020 following an incident in Mykonos. Maguire’s legal team immediately lodged an appeal against the conviction for assaulting a police offer and attempted bribery, which United said extinguished the initial court verdict and nullified the conviction. The retrial was reportedly set to take place earlier this month until the defender’s legal team asked for it to be put back. PA has been told it will now take place on February 7, 2024, three-and-a-half years after the event. Maguire does not have to attend the retrial and it is understood the United captain is unlikely to appear given the time of year.

Arsenal edge closer to Kai Havertz deal and gear up for third Declan Rice bid
Arsenal are progressing well in talks to sign Chelsea forward Kai Havertz as they prepare to launch a third bid for West Ham captain Declan Rice. The Gunners are aiming to add to the squad that manager Mikel Arteta led to second place in the Premier League last season. Rice emerged as a top target earlier this year, but the PA news agency understands a move for Havertz could also now be close to fruition. The 24-year-old has hit 19 Premier League goals in 91 appearances for the Blues, but could be set to move across London and link up with the Gunners. It is believed a new bid has yet to be lodged for Havertz, but the difference in valuation between the clubs is close. West Ham on Tuesday knocked back a second offer for Rice, which would have made the England midfielder Arsenal’s all-time record signing. The structure of add-ons to Arsenal’s bid is believed to be the issue for West Ham, who are keen to stick to their guns and receive £100million for their skipper. Arsenal have also been linked with moves for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia and Jurrien Timber of Ajax.
