      Before his Bernabeu gig, Xavier had a short stint with Manchester United which followed two years with the Brazilian Football Confederation.
      Arsenal’s sporting director Edu was also with the CBF at the time and oversaw the new appointment at the Emirates.
      And the Emirates chief has plenty of his own intel in the market Xavier will be working in thanks to his Brazilian connections.

      The Catalan-born winger’s past clubs include Lazio, Monaco, Inter Milan, Sampdoria and Cagliari.
      He was awarded a knighthood in Senegal for his part in the country’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations success.
      But the 28-year-old suffered a terrifying blow last week when three masked raiders broke into his home at Arenys de Mar, near Barcelona.

      They then used an angle grinder to open a safe, stealing designer watches and other valuables, before escaping via a concealed rear exit.
      The player’s mum was left shocked but unharmed, and managed to alert police.
      Balde, capped 40 times by Senegal, spent six years in Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy before making his senior debut with Lazio in 2013.
      He has launched an official complaint, and Catalonia’s Mossos d’Esquadra police have opened an inquiry.

      Balde made a substitute appearance in Espanyol’s 1-1 Segunda Division draw at Andorra on Saturday.

      They attempted to sign him from Borussia Dortmund last summer, but City won the transfer race.
      Haaland enjoyed a record-breaking first season in England, winning the treble with Pep Guardiola’s side.

      The striker’s incredible form has intensified interest from elsewhere, with Real Madrid now exploring the possibility of a transfer.

      Los Blancos will have the chance to open talks with Mbappe next month regarding a potential free transfer.
      Should the forward green-light a move, Real Madrid intend to act quickly by handing his agent a contract proposal.
      The La Liga giants attempted to sign Mbappe in 2022, but he shocked the world by penning a two-year extension with PSG instead.

      Real Madrid eye transfer for Jude Bellingham’s younger brother Jobe, 18, who is making his mark at Sunderland

      The 20-year-old has enjoyed a simply stunning start to life in Spain with his new adoring followers already celebrating 16 goals and five assists in his first 19 appearances.
      But if one Bellingham superstar wasn’t enough for Carlo Ancelotti, it is understood he has started making preparations to sign a second – including sending scouts to watch the teenager in action.
      Like Jude, Jobe came through the youth academy at hometown club Birmingham City.
      But the 18-year-old left St Andrew’s in the summer to join Sunderland.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      The England youth international has already racked up four goals for the Championship side as they look to win promotion back into the Premier League.
      However, according to Sport in Spain, Real Madrid are considering a transfer swoop.
      It is said they want to sign the younger Bellingham sibling before he gets snapped up by a big Premier League side, recognising it will be harder and more expensive to lure him to the Bernabeu from a top English team.
      Jobe is similar in style to his award-winning older brother – also playing in central midfield and able to get forward to create goals.
      Most read in Football
      Some insist he is more versatile than Jude and could become an even better player than the 2023 Golden Boy.
      Jobe himself said: “I know how to find space in the area.
      “With the skills I have I can play in different positions and I can learn more things, it is something that will benefit me in my career.”
      Off the pitch, Jude has been praised for his maturity and humble approach to the media and a very public life in the limelight.
      And Jobe seems to have benefited from the same grounding growing up with parents Denise and Mark.
      Dad and agent Mark met with Real Madrid to negotiate the huge summer transfer from Dortmund.
      And now it is reported that he is living with son Jobe in Sunderland while mum Denise is with Jude in Madrid.
      So any deal to take Jobe across to Spain as well would not only be yet another huge moment for the family – but also a chance for them to be reunited once more.
