It’s a World Cup special for the Handbrake Off team, with both Adrian Clarke and Art de Roche joining Stoney to talk about 16 Gunners players off to the Finals this summer.

Four Arsenal players will be representing England at a World Cup for the first time since 2002. What might we expect from the Three Lions? Could William Saliba come back with a winner’s medal with France? And why is David Raya not going to play at all for Spain?

All this, plus chat about those who aren’t going. And is Jeremy Monga about to join from Leicester?

Adrian Clarke joins Ian Stone to do a squad audit ahead of what could be a busy summer for Arsenal.

They discuss the need to continually refresh especially when you’ve won, the players that are more likely to leave this summer, those who there may be questions about, if there could be some surprising departures, improvements needed in the attack, who their ideal signings would be and they touch on the story of Gabriel’s jersey becoming the highest selling at the club since the UCL final.
