Premier League clubs approve changes to associated party transaction rules
The proposed changes came into play after an independent tribunal found some aspects of the APT rules to be unlawful following Manchester City’s lawsuit.
After scoring on his Arsenal debut, club-record signing Alexandre Lacazette thanked his teammate Alex Iwobi for the assist in the Gunners’ 2-0 win over Sydney FC.
The French forward uploaded an image of the duo celebrating the goal on his Instagram profile with the caption: “1st Game 1st Goal.. Thank you @alexanderiwobi for the Assist #AL9 #ArsenalInSydney #COYG".
Lacazette was introduced in the second-half and didn't take long to get off the mark, applying a cool finish to Iwobi’s cut-back after the winger had sprinted a good distance on the right wing to set up the goal.

The 26-year-old last week became the most expensive signing in the history of the club, with Arsenal paying Ligue 1 side Lyon £46.5 million to acquire the services of the speedy Frenchman.
And the forward seems to be hitting all the right notes, a fact that will go down well with the Gunners faithful. While it is too early to tell, it seems the 26-year-old will be a big hit in North London!
