Norway await as Manu Koné draws Arsenal interest

Norway up next in Group I

Your final Group I match is against Norway. The date and kick-off time are not locked in yet, but this is the game that will decide who tops the group (1). Tuesday's opener against Iraq was comfortable, 4–1, and Norway will be a different test entirely. They have the attacking quality to punish any sloppiness, and the Olise-Mbappé-Dembélé front three still has not quite clicked the way it needs to.

Arsenal eye Manu Koné

Arsenal have identified Manu Koné as a midfield target (2). The Roma man is at the World Cup with your squad and fits the profile Arsenal have been after: aggressive ball-winner who can carry it forward. No bid yet, but the interest is real. He is not a starter for France right now, but the tournament is long and things change fast.
