Arsenal Just Signed Bruno Guimaraes and the Premier League Odds Have Already MovedArsenal won their first title as we all saw last season, for the first time in 22 years. They opened the summer as defending champions and the odds-on favourites to repeat. Then they agreed a 75 million fee with Newcastle for Bruno Guimaraes and the market moved again, because of course it did. Guimaraes is exactly the midfielder Arteta has been missing since the turn of last year: someone who wins the ball and drives it forward from deep, someone who makes the midfield engine work rather than just occupy a position in it. He is 27, made 195 appearances for Newcastle after joining from Lyon in 2022, and the fee reflects what a reliable ball-winner at his level actually costs in 2026. Arsenal getting him this close to the start of the season is a significant piece of window business.The title odds before the announcement had Arsenal at roughly 6/4, Manchester City at 5/2, Liverpool at 11/2. After the Guimaraes agreement the Gunners shortened. How much depends on which platform you check and when, but the direction was not complicated. Adding a midfielder of that quality to a squad that just won the title has a predictable effect on how the market prices the defending champions chances.The context matters though. The Premier League odds at the start of any summer are built on incomplete information. The window is open until September 1st and the market is continuously adjusting as deals happen. The Premier League odds being offered right now reflect the current state of every squad in the division, which is not the state they will be in when the season kicks off on August 22nd. Arsenal adding Guimaraes moves their price. Newcastle losing him moves theirs. Both adjustments are rational. Neither is the last adjustment the market will make before a ball is kicked.What Guimaraes Actually Does to ArsenalThe question Arteta has faced for the last eighteen months is what happens in matches where Declan Rice needs help. Rice is exceptional but he has been covering ground that a properly constructed midfield would share more evenly. Guimaraes next to him does not just add another body in the engine room. It changes how Rice can be used, which changes how the whole team can be built. The passing tempo out from the back, the pressing triggers, the ability to stay compact without sacrificing attack, all of it improves when the player next to Rice is capable of doing what Guimaraes does rather than being carried by him.The Odegaard situation complicates things. Artetas midfield with both Guimaraes and Odegaard might be too heavily weighted for two deep-lying creative influences, and the suggestion that Odegaard could leave if the deal goes through reflects a genuine tactical question rather than just transfer noise. Arsenals title defence might look significantly different in terms of personnel than the title win did, which is a more interesting story than just adding a good player.What the Rest of the Market Is DoingManchester City at 5/2 is interesting given they are starting life without Guardiola for the first time since 2016. Whoever takes over inherits a squad still full of quality but without the manager who made that quality function at its highest level. The market is giving City significant credit for the players they have. Whether that credit is warranted depends heavily on how the transition goes in the opening weeks.Liverpool under Iraola, Chelsea under Xabi Alonso, Manchester United with Michael Carrick as full-time manager, half the division is operating under new or relatively new leadership heading into August. Arsenal do have Arteta now who has been the manager for the team, much longer than any other manager in an Englands top division team. Many regard him as the most settled coaching situation, with very few contenders. Guimaraes arrival will strengthen an already winning title squad. The Premier League odds reflect that, as they probably should.What Happens Before August 22ndNewcastle now need a replacement and may have to move quickly. Arsenal might make further moves. The Barcola situation at PSG, the ongoing search for attacking reinforcements at several clubs, the Odegaard question, the market will reprice several more times before the opening weekend. The title odds on September 1st when the window closes will look different to the ones available today, and the ones available in November when the table has started to mean something will look different again.What the Guimaraes deal does is crystallise what Arsenals summer ambition actually is. They are not managing a title defence. They are trying to build on it. The odds, for now, agree.

Gianni Infantino is facing a battle to stay afloat as Fifa president after his botched bid to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors resulted in a significant loss in support.England, Wales and other European nations have led the charge in officially withdrawing their endorsement of the Swiss-Italian for re-election in March 2027, while Uefa asserted that its boycott of Fifa competitions still stands in a bid to oust him from power.The global players union, Fifpro, have also turned on Infantino, accusing him of a profound abuse of presidential power in an explosive statement.However, Infantinos allies are beginning to surface, with the likes of Mexico and Argentina joining Caf, the African football governing body, in reaffirming support for the under-fire president.As dominoes continue to fall, here is every country and confederation to have expressed their opposition or support for Infantino:Who has withdrawn its support for Infantino?Uefa Uefa, the governing body for Europe, has staunchly opposed Infantinos leadership, insisting that its boycott of Fifa competitions still stands despite the sell-off scheme being scrapped.It points to how there have not been assurances that attempts like the privatisation of the World Cup to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again.The French Football Federation, however, have indicated to BBC Sportthat they still intend to compete at next months U20 Womens World Cup despite the confederation-wide boycott.England The English FA are one of many European member associations to send a letter to Fifa withdrawing its support for Infantinos re-election in 2027.Infantinos apology letter that was sent around on Wednesday night changed nothing for the FA, who was deeply concerned about the lack of process and governance surrounding his sell-off scheme.FA chief executive Mark Bullingham (left) next to Gianni Infantino (PA)Wales The Football Association of Wales were one of the first to send its letter withdrawing support for Infantino.The recent failures in good governance, processes, leadership, values, stakeholder management, communications and sound judgment have led us to a position where Mr Infantino has lost the confidence of the FAW to remain at the helm of world football, a statement read. Failing to put the best interests of football first is a failure we cannot accept.Finland Finland kickstarted this process, with it being revealed that the Scandinavian member association was the first to send a letter officially withdrawing support for Infantino.Serbia The Football Association of Serbia then sent a similar letter to Fifa.We would like to remind you that we provided our support to Mr Infantino in writing on 25 May of this year, but after carefully considering the events that have seriously damaged the image and reputation of both Fifa and its president in the past period, this is the only logical and rational course of action, a statement read.Sweden Swedens federation (SvFF) followed suit: "At an extraordinary board meeting on Monday, SvFF has chosen not to support Fifa President Gianni Infantino in the upcoming re-election."This is after a long-term assessment of the development within Fifa and the organization's leadership. The decision is based on recurring shortcomings in governance, transparency and management, which means that trust in Gianni Infantino's leadership no longer exists."Infantino has officially lost the endorsement of numerous Uefa nations (PA)Croatia As did the Croatian Football Federation (HNS): "The Croatian Football Federation has informed Fifa of its decision to withdraw the support previously expressed for Mr Gianni Infantino's candidature for another term as Fifa president. "This decision followed a thorough reassessment within the federation in light of recent developments surrounding the Fifa World Cup 2026 and discussions within our governing bodies. We consider our position to be clearly communicated to Fifa and have no further comment to add at this time."Albania The Albanian Football Federation also took the same stance, aligning with Uefa. The Albanian Football Association has sent an official letter to Fifa Secretary General Mattias Grafstrm, informing him that it has withdrawn its support for Mr Gianni Infantinos candidacy for another four-year term as Fifa President, the statement confirmed.Greece The Greek federation similarly sent their withdrawal of support Fifas way.Who is also opposing Infantino?Concacaf (Confederation for North America and the Caribbean) Concacaf have come out in opposition of Infantino after being left stunned at the lack of consultation during the Fifa sell-off plan, which they went on to reject.After the plan was aborted, the confederation said: This recent unilateral and egregious act of poor governance and leadership follows a pattern of missteps and similar behaviour. A comprehensive reckoning with this presidency is imperative.It also wrote a joint statement with Uefa and the AFC which intended to give Infantino the opportunity to resign with dignity.Concacaf president Victor Montagliani is widely being seen as a front-runner to challenge Infantino in next Marchs election.Concacaf president Victor Montagliani is widely being seen as a front-runner to challenge Infantino (Getty)AFC (Asian Football Confederation) The AFC was similarly aggrieved by the non-existent consultation from Fifa regarding the Infantinos scheme, rejecting the proposal before calling on Fifa to undertake an urgent review of its governance.The confederations part in a joint statement with Uefa and Concacaf confirms their desire to see Infantino ousted from power.Germany The German federation (DFB) already opted against endorsing Infantino earlier in the year so has not had to send a letter withdrawing support to take an opposing stance.The DFB has not signed a letter of support for the re-election of Gianni Infantino," the governing body stated in July. "Further steps will be discussed in the DFB presidential board."Denmark Denmark are in a similar position to Germany, having not endorsed Infantinos re-election bid prior to the schemes reveal.There is also a precedent for their opposition to Infantino, with federation president Jesper Moller not supporting his re-election efforts back in 2022: There is only one candidate ... but Denmark will not be supporting the current president.Norway The Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) have been one of the most vocal bodies to call for Infantinos resignation, and while they have not yet officially sent a letter to withdraw their support in him, such action is expected in the coming days.NFF president Lise Klaveness told the Guardian: We decided that there is no trust in Infantino now. We have been worried consistently and there has been one more step in worrying direction every year, every part of the year. The trust is now gone for us, there is no way back for Infantino. Were left in a very polarised cooperation globally and, I would say, chaos. So we will ask him to resign immediately so that the global football community can look ahead and cooperate going into the future.Lise Klaveness has called on Infantino to resign (Reuters)Netherlands The Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) is also yet to officially withdraw its support but is among the many to have confirmed it has lost confidence in Infantinos leadership.The way this process has unfolded has resulted in a fundamental loss of confidence in the leadership of Fifa President Gianni Infantino. The KNVB no longer has confidence in his leadership, a statement read.Romania The Romanian Football Federation (FRF) were among the countries to resolutely reject the sell-off proposal, calling it a dangerous initiative to turn football into a private asset.As a result, the FRF will withold support for Infantinos re-election for the time being, with a statement reading: FRF is suspending the discussion regarding the support of Fifa President Gianni Infantino for a new term, until further clarifications. Jordan Jordan are so far the only non-Uefa member association to publicly oppose Infantino after federation president Prince Ali bin Hussein levelled accusations of blackmail against Fifa.Prince Ali alleged the organisation offered assistance with the kingdom's issues in exchange for his endorsement, following Infantino's withdrawal from a World Cup stake sale proposal. Among the problems cited was the association's eight-month wait for prize money, due since December for reaching the Arab Cup final in Qatar.After taking to X to reveal the outstanding payments, the Jordan Football Association received the prize money two days later - but Prince Ali has not changed his stance over not endorsing Infantino: It does not change my clear position concerning the leadership of Fifa: my FA and I will not endorse president Infantino, nor will we vote for him.Thank you to the FIFA administration for suddenly this morning delivering what was owed to our players and coaching staff, for the Jordan National teams accession to the final of the FIFA Arab Cup in Qatar last December. This was funding that should have been received 8 months Ali Al Hussein (@AliBinAlHussein) August 6, 2026Sierra Leone Former Sierra Leone FA president and ex-Fifa Council member Isha Johansen has indicated that Africas support of Infantino is not unanimous across the continent after emerging as one of the African voices opposing the privatisation project.He urged African football chiefs to think carefully about the games future, saying: "What price does one have to pay in order to get to this elevated development for football in Africa?"Canada Canada prime minister Mark Carney joined his UK counterpart Andy Burnham in calling for Infantino to be ousted from his position as president.It should be fatal, Carney said, whose country co-hosted this summers World Cup. Certainly I dont have confidence in Mr Infantino."Who is supporting Infantino?Caf (African Football Confederation) Caf, the governing body for African football, has become the first confederation to unanimously back Infantino. Its 54 member associations account more than a quarter of Fifas 211 members.We are committed to continue working together with Fifa, its member associations, other football confederations and stakeholders to safeguard and adhere to governance, due process, and transparency global best practises and to contribute to the development and growth of football worldwide, Caf president Patrice Motsepe said.Argentina Argentina became the first member from South America to voice its support for Infantino, on the same day that confederation Conmebol - which had thus far only expressed support of Infantino - expressed concern over Fifas procedures."Of our highest consideration, on behalf of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), and its Executive Committee, we address you, dear President, and through your worthy intermediary the Fifa board, to express our support for the management carried out during the last 10 years, which had as its main axes the development of football throughout the world and institutional solidity based on a clear governance model, stable and transparent, a statement read.Argentina president Javier Milei (left) behind Infantino at the "Board of Peace" hosted by US president Donald Trump (AFP/Getty)Mexico Mexico joined Argentina from the Americas, breaking rank from the United States, Canada and the rest of Concacaf that had condemned Infantinos plan and aligned itself against his leadership.The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) stated: "The FMF will neither recognise nor approve any process convened outside of that institutional framework, and it joins the call made... by President Infantino to collectively continue developing football for the benefit of the 211 member associations."Paraguay Paraguay has also followed suit as Infantinos Conmebol support base begins to surface.Their federation published a letter of support addressed to Infantino, writing that it "reaffirms its commitment to continue working alongside Fifa.Qatar Qatar was the first football association to publicly back Infantino, even though they later welcomed the decision to scrap the plan."While the proposal had merit, we applaud the wisdom behind prioritising unity among member associations. The Qatar Football Association fully supports President Infantino's efforts to continue growing and strengthening the game globally, a statement read.Qatar's FA has backed Infantino to continue as president (Getty Images)Sri Lanka Like Qatar, Sri Lanka welcomed the decision to scrap the investment plan and has since reaffirmed its support for Infantino. "One of President Infantino's defining leadership qualities has always been his willingness to listen to the views and concerns of Member Associations. This decision is a clear reflection of his inclusive leadership style, built on dialogue, mutual respect, and a genuine commitment to serving the global football community," its statement read.Kuwait Like others, Kuwait welcomed the decision to halt the plans but Sheikh Ahmed Yusuf Al-Sabah, the president of the Kuwait Football Association, affirmed his support for Infantino.A statement read: He concluded by affirming the Kuwait Football Association's confidence in the leadership of Fifa President Gianni Infantino, and its support for efforts aimed at developing the game and enhancing its opportunities for growth in a way that serves all national associations and achieves the shared interests of global football.Lebanon Lebanon, who granted Infantino citizenship last year, have backed the Swiss-Italian, with FA president Hashim Haidar all but echoing the same sentiments as Kuwait.Haidar reaffirms the Lebanese Football Associations support for Fifa President Gianni Infantino and his confidence in the decisions he makes in the best interests of global football, as well as in his efforts and initiatives aimed at developing the game, he said, while also asserting that Infantinos proposal could be re-examined ... in a away that serves the greater good of the sport and preserves its unity.Indonesia The president of the Indonesian FA supported Infantinos sell-off plan and has now backed him for another term. Hailing Fifa as a strategic partner that is truly present in its football development, Erick Thohir said: This is proof of President Infantinos vision that football development must not be centered on a single region; it must proceed worldwide.Philippines Philippines have also backed Infantino and backed for co-operation among confederations."We stand behind President Gianni Infantino's leadership, and trust that continued dialogue among all confederations and member associations will keep the global game moving forward together, the Philippines confirmed.Mongolia Joining the Philippines, the Mongolian Football Federation has put out a statement in support of Infantino.Bhutan The Bhutan Football Federation has published a letter that extends its sincere appreciation to Infantino for scrapping the plans, hailing him for demonstrating true leadership by prioritising consensus over commerce.We stand united with Fifa and President Infantino in their ongoing efforts to serve the global football community, wrote federation president Dasho Ugen Tsechup.Morocco The location of Infantinos crisis meeting on Wednesday, Morocco have stuck by the Swiss-Italian as one of his most loyal allies.What has been achieved in recent years through Fifas development programmes, particularly in Africa, represents an important accomplishment that must be preserved, to the benefit of all member associations, said the Royal Moroccan Football Federations president Fouzi Lekjaa.Infantino held his crisis meeting in Rabat, Morocco (AP)Egypt Similar to their north African counterpart, Egypt have maintained their endorsement of Infantino."The Egyptian Football Association reiterates its full trust in President Gianni Infantino's leadership and its continuous support for any initiatives that benefit Fifa member associations and the future of world football, a statement read.Mauritania Ahmed Yahya, the country's representative on the Fifa Council, was one of a number of African football leaders to say he was backing Infantino early on, pledging his support before Caf took its stance.Niger Same as above, with Hamidou Djibrilla from Niger coming out quickly in support of Infantino.DR Congo DR Congo's federation (Fecofa) president Veron Mosengo-Omba, who was only elected in May, spoke out in full support. of Infantino. The two studied at university in Switzerland together. Fecofa said it had "greatly benefited" from Fifa's programmes, citing investment in development and infrastructure.Nigeria The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has largely aligned itself towards a supportive stance for Infantino's leadership, with former NFF president and deputy chairman of Fifa's Men's National Teams Competitions Committee, Amaju Pinnick, backing his initial sell-off plan.Comoros The president of the Comoros Football Federation, Said Ali Athouman, also backed Infantinos scheme due to the financial benefits to smaller nations."Our problem is how to obtain money, he said. Right now, we have no sponsors. So how do we compete? The richest nations can train players, have infrastructure and equipment, and it's no coincidence that they then achieve results. Most European countries don't have these problems.A number of African nations have fallen in line with the stance of Caf president Patrice Motsepe (Getty)Malawi Fleetwood Haiya, Malawi's football chief, echoed the same concerns in his support for Infantino.He told BBC Sport: "Our government is not able to make sure that they have medical supplies in hospitals and at the same time to look at football. Malawi needs money." Uganda The Ugandan federation are said to have echoed Malawis sentiments, with football officials from the federation telling BBC Sport that Fifa investment has transformed their game both on and off the pitch.Gambia Lamin Kaba Bajo told BBC Sport that his federation not just stood by Infantino, but would do "everything within our means" to get him re-elected."That's my personal opinion as president of the federation, and a good number of African memberships also stand on that line. He is here to stay, he said.Djibouti The Djiboutian Football Federation has similarly welcomed the decision to withdraw the sell-off proposal, with president Souleiman Hassan Waberi saying the climbdown demonstrates a firm commitment to preserving the unity, solidarity and cohesion that define the football family.He said in a statement: I reaffirm my full support for Fifa President Mr Gianni Infantino and for all initiatives aimed at promoting the sustainable, transparent and inclusive development of football around the world.South Africa While not an official statement from the federation, South Africas Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture of South Africa, Gayton McKenzie, posted on X saying that Infantino had been "very good to African football"."Africa should be cautious in joining the public lynching of Infantino, he warned. He has been very good to African football. We can debate his ideas but let's not forget who has been a friend to us. Many of those calling for his head want the old status quo back too."Who are yet to confirm a stance?The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) has not publicly stated its position, though its biggest footballing nation New Zealand did come out in opposition to Infantinos proposal.Conmebol, the governing body for South America, also took a while to break its silence. It expressed concern about the repeated unilateral actions taken and welcomed the decision to withdraw the plans, affirming it will not support any action that ignores or deviates from the democratic procedures that represent the 211 Fifa member associations. However, it is yet to reveal their stance on Infantino and has previously been very supportive of the incumbent president, with Conmebol pushing for a 64-team World Cup for the 2030 edition.
