Sky Sports launches Arsenal transfer live blog but cookie wall blocks content

Sky Sports has launched a dedicated live blog covering Arsenal transfer news, rumours and gossip, promising rolling updates on deals, signings, loans and contracts involving the Premier League club. However, as it stands, fans attempting to read the coverage are being met with a familiar obstacle: a cookie consent wall.

The page, hosted across Sky Sports Football's live blog platform, is unable to display its editorial content unless visitors grant permission for cookies. The site currently displays a notice stating: "This content is provided by, which may be using cookies and other technologies. To show you this content, we need your permission to use cookies."

Visitors are given the option to adjust their privacy preferences to enable cookies or to allow them just for a single session. The notice also concedes that Sky Sports has "been unable to verify if you have consented to cookies," meaning that for many readers the transfer updates remain out of reach until they actively opt in.

The banner image accompanying the blog confirms this is a dedicated Arsenal section, suggesting the broadcaster intends to run a continuous stream of transfer speculation and confirmed business throughout the window. Such live blogs have become a staple of Sky Sports' coverage during transfer periods, aggregating breaking news, club announcements, and the latest gossip from the Emirates.

For now, though, supporters hoping to scan the latest Arsenal transfer headlines will need to accept cookies before the page loads. Until the paywall-style consent barrier is cleared, the substance of Sky's Arsenal transfer coverage remains hidden from view.
