Keown criticises Arteta contract timing
Arsenal legend Martin Keown has criticised the club’s timing of boss Mikel Arteta’s new contract.
He told talkSPORT: “They’ve just lost three games and won three games. I thought they might have waited until the summer because we are now at a crossroads and got a huge game coming up.
“They obviously feel there’s no desire for any change, they’re happy. I think they’re right.
“I probably would’ve waited until the summer.
“Perhaps there was a clamour for the manager from other clubs, we don’t know what’s happening internally, they wanted to meet his needs and felt no reason for any kind of change.
“We could’ve been looking at a very different situation had they not beaten Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham all in one week.
“If they’d been announcing after losing those games it might have been a different situation.
“I think it’s good for the players, get the man in and settled in place. The person in charge has to be looked after and resolved.
“It feels like the start of the journey.”

Exclusive: West Ham eye Broja
West Ham are planning a move for Chelsea striker Armando Broja this summer following his loan spell at Southampton.
The Hammers are in desperate need of a centre-forward and explored a deal for Broja, 20, during the January window but could not make it happen.
David Moyes and his players have been impressed by the Albanian ace during his three appearances against them this season.
Broja tormented the West Ham defenders in both Premier League games this season and scored a stunning solo goal as the Saints knocked Moyes’ side out of the FA Cup in March.
Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund have also registered an interest in the past.

Piers Morgan fumes at Arteta contract
Arsenal fan Piers Morgan has hit out at the club for handing Mikel Arteta a new long-term contract before the end of the season.
The Gunners gaffer, 40, has penned a contract extension until 2025 at the Emirates as they close in on a return to the Champions League.
After consecutive wins against Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham, Arsenal sit in fourth spot with four games to play.
The North London outfit are in pole position to qualify for Europe’s premier competition, with rivals Tottenham two points behind them in fifth.
And should results go their way this weekend, they could be five points clear of Antonio Conte’s men going into next week’s derby.
But despite Arsenal’s positive form, Morgan has questioned the timing of Arteta’s new deal.
Taking to social media, he tweeted: “WHAT? Maybe wait until he achieves something? Why is he getting this now?”
Behind the scenes on Arteta’s renewal
Arsenal will be dropping more clips on boss Mikel Arteta’s contract renewal in the future.
Premier League managers’ salaries revealed
ARSENAL have awarded Mikel Arteta a lucrative £8.3million a year deal to keep him at the club.
But it only makes him the FIFTH highest earning Premier League manager.
SunSport exclusively revealed in February that Arsenal were preparing to hand Arteta the same salary Arsene Wenger was on during his final year at the Emirates.
They have now done so – but his new annual wage of £8.3m is still less than HALF of old pal Pep Guardiola’s pay packet.
The Manchester City boss rakes in £19m a year – but is repaying the club in the form of Premier League titles.
The Spaniard is on course to secure City a fourth league in five seasons – although Liverpool are hot on their heels.

How Arsenal could line up against Leeds
Arsenal could name an unchanged side from the team that beat West Ham 2-1 at the London Stadium for Sunday’s clash against Leeds.
The Gunners boosted their chances of Champions League qualification after edging the Hammers to move two points clear of Tottenham in fourth.
But Arsenal were dealt a blow prior to kick-off after Ben White was ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Bukayo Saka was then withdrawn late into the second half to spark fears off a possible knock.
Arsenal’s next fixture

Arteta wants to keep best
One of Mikel Arteta’s first objectives after penning a new deal is to retain Arsenal’s best players.
He said: “What we want to do is improve the team, the squad. Obviously, we know there’s not one player who doesn’t have a margin to improve or evolve in this way of playing or his career.
“We want to retain our best players, for sure and we want to add into that, more quality and depth to be competitive.”
Arteta’s contract surprise
Mikel Arteta has revealed when he was offered a new contract by Arsenal’s hierarchy.
He said: “The club offered me the contract on the day we lost three matches.
That day I said ‘chapeau and we go’. That doesn’t happen in football. That’s a part of what they think, the belief they have in myself, the coaching staff and what we’re doing.
“The people that we have now owning and leading this football club.
“I hadn’t seen it, and I just got emotional when I saw it because I thought ‘these guys are serious and these guys are committed, so I’d better push forward’.”
Stay away from Dybala
Paulo Dybala isn’t the answer to Arsenal’s striker issues.
That’s the view of Gunners legend Kevin Campbell who told Football Insider: “If you are coming with an injury record, Arsenal isn’t the place to come.
“It seems that injury problems are always exposed at Arsenal.
“Injuries are part and parcel of the game but I think Arteta and Edu should go younger, quicker and fitter. Dybala isn’t the answer.”
Be on guard
Former Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit has ripped into Pep Guardiola for failing to lead Man City to the Champions League final.
Petit said on RMC: “Guardiola was a nervous wreck. He kept hassling Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden.
“He needs to let his players focus on their game. But it was crazy – he was on edge throughout.
“You could see that his assistants sometimes didn’t even dare answer him back.”
Piers questions Arteta contract extension
Piers Morgan has questioned why Arsenal decided to give Mikel Arteta a new contract.
Morgan reckons Arteta needs to achieve something before getting rewarded with a new deal.
He tweeted: “WHAT? Maybe wait until he achieves something? Why is he getting this now?”
Saliba’s Arsenal career examined
Paul Merson has given his theory why William Saliba hasn’t prospered at Arsenal.
Merson said: “There must be a reason he’s been loaned out three times by the club. Was he getting ripped in training?
“I don’t see why he’s still on loan otherwise. Arsenal paid a lot of money for him but I think if anyone offers them their money back they would take it right now.
“It’s almost three years he’s been there now and he can’t get a look in. Maybe Mikel Arteta has watched him train and decided he’s nowhere near ready.”
Arteta’s contract extension ‘means nothing’
Mikel Arteta signing a new contract means nothing as he’ll get sacked for not delivering the goods next season.
That’s the opinion of talkSPORT host Simon Jordan.
Jordan said: “It’s really academic. I felt he earned another year. If Arsenal progress next year, he’ll be in situ.
“If they have a terrible season next year, all that’ll happen is he’ll get more money out of getting sacked. So I think it means very little.”
Champions League football goals
Edu has stressed how important playing Champions League football is to Arsenal’s progress.
He added: “In order to do that, we have to be playing in the Champions League.
“We have to be able to evolve the team, improve our players, improve all departments, generate even more connection with our fans, improve the atmosphere at the Emirates, be able to recruit top, top talent and the best people for this club to drive this project to that level.”
Ed’ing in the right direction
Arsenal transfer supremo Edu reckons Mikel Arteta’s contract extension has come at the ‘perfect time.’
And Edu revealed that he and Arteta now want to take the club to the next level.
Edu said: “I think the timing is perfect.
“I really believe the message will be a big lift to everyone. To the fans, to the club, to the players, to Mikel.”
“We want to take the club to the next level and to compete really with the top teams.”
Arteta in transfer blow
Mikel Arteta has been dealt a blow in his pursuit of Noussair Mazraoui after the Ajax star reportedly “completed” a Bayern Munich medical.
Arsenal were said to be keen on recruiting the out of contract right-back to provide competition to Takehiro Tomiyasu.
But after talks with Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann and CEO Oliver Kahn, Mazraoui has decided to link up with the Bundesliga champions.
The 24-year-old has now successfully completed his medical with the club, according to German outlet Bild.
And while he is yet to officially put pen to paper, terms between Bayern and Mazraoui are fully agreed.
An official announcement is expecting in the coming days, forcing Arsenal to pursue alternative targets.
Arteta speaks on Arsenal fans
Arsenal fans are at the core of Mikel Arteta’s decision to extend his contract at the club.
He said: “For me they have been the tsunami of this project.
“For two seasons we haven’t had them, and without them it was impossible to do it.
“So the moment we have had them close to us, and they have sensed and felt that energy and that way of now representing the club to a much deeper level, that’s when a sense of belonging from the fans is natural.
“That’s why everything has clicked in my opinion, to go and perform to the level that we are doing now.”
Arteta’s contract joy
Speaking of his joy, Arteta told Arsenal’s website: “I’m excited, grateful and really, really happy today.
“When I spoke to Josh he could see the club at the same point and he wanted to take the club the way I wanted to do it.
“So everything that he’s said, and that Stan [Kroenke] has said when I’ve been together with both of them, they’ve always delivered.
“We want to take the club to the next level and to compete really with the top teams. In order to do that, we have to be playing in the Champions League.
“We have to be able to evolve the team, improve our players, improve all departments, generate even more connection with our fans, improve the atmosphere at the Emirates, be able to recruit top, top talent and the best people for this club to drive this project to that level.”
Mikel Arteta signs new contract
Mikel Arteta has signed a new long-term contract at Arsenal until 2025 with the club on the brink of qualifying for the Champions League.
The 40-year-old, who took charge of the Gunners in December 2019, had been tied down at the Emirates until 2023.
But with Arsenal sitting in fourth spot with four games to go, the club have rewarded him with a bumper new contract.
Thierry Henry named as idol
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has been named as one of Man United striker Anthony Elanga’s idols.
The United attacker told Sky Sports: “Thierry Henry is someone who I liked watching when I grew up as well.
“He could play left wing, right-wing, as a striker. He was strong, quick and could finish.
“I still look at his clips today and try to learn something from the way he used to play and try to add it to my game.
“I grew up watching United as well, so the likes of Wayne Rooney and obviously Cristiano Ronaldo.”
Arsenal in Europe
Arsenal had a major presence in Europe last night despite not being in any competition.
Gunners loanees Reiss Nelson who plays for Feyenoord went up against Matteo Guendouzi and William Saliba’s who were shipped out to Marseille this season in the Europa Conference League semi-final last night.
Saliba and Guendozi were pictured after the game having a catch up.
And the pairs rendevous was caught by Feyenoord who shared a clip of them speaking on Twitter, with the caption: “A Gunner respects a Gunner.”

Paris Saint Germain and Juventus remain the most likely destination for the 29-year-old who has turned down all attempts to keep him at Old Trafford.
But Sunsport reported on Friday that City are on the look-out for a new central midfielder once club captain Fernandinho departs.
And they have asked to be kept informed on Pogba’s situation in the coming weeks.
He shares the same agency as Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, who is expected to move to the Etihad this summer.

‘eye’ Richarlison, Ten Hag DESPERATE for Ronaldo to stay
They have been in discussions with the firm previously run by Mino Raiola – who died last week – over the Norwegian’s proposed switch in recent months.
And during those talks the name of Pogba has also cropped up – as it seems almost certain he will soon be available on a free transfer.
He would demand a sizeable signing-on fee and wages in excess of those he earns at United – which are believed to be a basic of £165,000 a week with huge bonuses on top.
City were in the race to sign Pogba from Juventus back in 2016 – but pulled out due to the finances involved in the deal.

FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS – BEST NEW CUSTOMER OFFERS
Then two years later, Pep Guardiola dropped a bombshell on the eve of the Manchester derby by claiming Raiola had offered him the chance to buy the France international.
He responded by scoring two goals in the game – and delaying the title parade of the noisy neighbours by a further week.
When Pogba injured his calf at Liverpool last month and interim boss Ralf Rangnick suggested he had probably played his last game for the club.
But the £89million ace – who is currently coming to the end of his second spell with the Red Devils – later posted on social media ‘It’s not over’.
City would not be able to officially finalise a move until he becomes a free agent on July 1.
That gives clubs on the continent a clear advantage as they have been allowed to talk to him since the turn of the year under FIFA rules.

However sources at the Etihad have not completely ruled out making a move.
And if they did win the race it would be comparable to Carlos Tevez making the same stunning move across town back in summer 2009. More

David Beckham lines up stunning James Rodriguez transfer swoop for Inter Miami with star set to leave Middle East
by Philippa Kaur 6 May 2022, 20:31
DAVID BECKHAM wants to snap up Colombian ace James Rodriguez.The former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder was snapped in Miami this week sporting some snazzy pink locks.

But SunSport understands Becks and his Inter Miami side have been in touch with the 30 year-old to tout a possible move from Qatari club Al-Rayyan.
Rodriguez’s whopping £6.5million-a-year deal would make him Inter Miami’s top earner, eclipsing the £5.6m forked out each season for the unsettled Gonzalo Higuain.
The Argentine forward, who has fallen out of favour under boss Phil Neville, will see out the remainder of his contract in south Florida before possibly quitting at the end of the season.
But if Rodriguez signs, he will take the designated player spot vacated by Mexican flop Rodolfo Pizarro who left for Monterrey earlier this year.

The next MLS transfer window opens on July 7.
His signing would go down very well amongst Miami’s strong Hispanic fan base while proving to be a welcome addition for MLS bosses keen to tap into the former Everton man’s global appeal.
Beckham’s presence has seen his club constantly linked with a move for Lionel Messi while Luis Suarez has also been on the former England skipper’s hitlist.
Inter Miami have endured another poor start to the season.

Erik ten Hag desperate for Cristiano Ronaldo to STAY at Man Utd with idea of him quitting after strong season ‘foolish’
by Philippa Kaur 6 May 2022, 18:54

The 37-year-old shows no signs of slowing down despite coming in for criticism earlier this term.
Ronaldo has been one of United’s best players in recent matches.
And he was the heart of all things in good in the 3-0 win over Brentford at Old Trafford this week.
However, Ronnie continues to be linked with a move away from United – just one year after his glorious return from Juventus.

It’s reckoned the Portuguese ace wants to be playing Champions League football next season.
And reports added Ten Hag may want to bring in a new striker to lead the line instead.
However, should Ronaldo depart, it won’t be down to Ten Hag.
That’s because the impending United boss is a huge fan of the veteran attacker.

Ten Hag has been hugely impressed by Ronaldo’s goal return, claims the Telegraph.
And Ten Hag will make talking to Ronnie one of his top priorities when he swaps Ajax for United this summer.
Earlier today, the Dutchman insisted there is no clause preventing him from raiding Ajax for some of their top stars.
Ten Hag said: “There are no agreements in place that would exclude me from taking players to United.
“Which Ajax players are interesting? I have very good players here but that’s a non-issue.” More

Gareth Bale told he must make contact with Cardiff if he wants transfer but move is ‘no-brainer’ for boss Steve Morison

Bale’s £600,000-a-week deal at Real Madrid is set to expire at the end of the season.
Should Wales beat Scotland or Ukraine and qualify for this winter’s World Cup, the 32-year-old will be desperate to stay in pristine condition ahead of the tournament.
And he could move to the Championship in order to rediscover home comforts and stay ready for action.
Bluebirds chairman Mehmet Dalman said last week that his side would be “willing listeners” should Bale want to join.

predict Bale will ‘rise like the Undertaker’ to beat Liverpool again
And boss Steve Morison, who played alongside Bale for the Welsh national team between 2010 and 2012, has confirmed that he’d be interested in signing him.
The 38-year-old told Wales Online: “Who wouldn’t be? Is there anyone who wouldn’t be a willing listener?!
“I’m not going to go and get Gareth Bale’s number and ring him and say, ‘Oh, by the way, do you want to come and join Cardiff?’
“It’s an absolute no-brainer. It would be great. It would be a great boost for everybody.

Abramovich DENIES loan repayment request, Boehly closes in on Chelsea deal, Ratcliffe still wants to buy Blues – latest
by Philippa Kaur 6 May 2022, 16:07
ROMAN ABRAMOVICH has reiterated that he is NOT demanding the repayment of his £1.6bn loan to Chelsea.And the sanctioned Blues owner insisted he has engaged with the Government to discuss how the promised charity donation from the sale should be carried out.
Government sources hinted that Abramovich had made a U-turn on his initial pledged and demanded the money that had kept the Blues going for the past 19 years was paid to a Jersey-based company as part of the sale deal.
Meanwhile, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is not giving up on his Chelsea bid without a fight and has begged the club to consider his offer.
The British petrochemicals mogul, 69, has vowed to improve Stamford Bridge as it exists rather than build a new stadium as Roman Abramovich had planned to.
Boehly has reportedly been named as the preferred bidder for Chelsea despite a last-gasp £4billion bid from Ratcliffe.
And Boehly’s team were told they had been granted a “period of exclusivity” to discuss the final terms and conditions of a takeover package.

Declan Rice faces a three-match European ban after his X-rated tunnel rant at a referee.
And that spells bad news for Chelsea and Manchester United, who are both chasing the England midfielder this summer.
West Ham star Rice, 23, blasted Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzan after last night’s Europa League semi-final defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Sensational footage captured Rice losing his head in the tunnel after a game which saw Aaron Cresswell and David Moyes receive red cards.
Rice shouted at the official: “Ref! Ref! it is so poor. All night, it is so bad. How can you be that bad? Honestly.
“You’ve probably been f***ing paid. F***ing corruption.”
How Chelsea could line up against Wolves
Recent results for Chelsea mean the Blues are starting to look over their shoulders a tad nervously.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have just a five point cushion over fifth-placed Tottenham after two wins in their last six Premier League games.
A win on Saturday against Wolves though would help settle some nerves.
Bruno Lage’s side are the visitors to Stamford Bridge on a torrid run of form of their own – losing four out of their last five games.
Chelsea though are set to be without two key midfielders for the 3pm kick-off.
Tuchel confirmed today that both N’Golo Kante and Jorginho are sidelined for the clash through injury.
Abramovich transfer history
As Todd Boehly closes in on a Chelsea takeover, let’s look at Abramovich’s spending numbers.
Tuchel on Chelsea new owners
Thomas Tuchel has given his opinion on the Chelsea ownership situation.
He said: “I’ve been told last week that we have a preferred bidder and things are going forward.
“It’s a pretty important week for the club, but I was fully focused on the pitch. But after what I heard last week, I’m confident.
“Clearance is always the best, because when the situation is clear you can take actions, make judgements, take actions.
“Otherwise you’re in a passive role, and this is what we are right now.”
Tuchel on Pulisic drama
Thomas Tuchel has revealed that he and Christian Pusilic have no problems after the star’s dad make cryptic comments about his future.
Tuchel said in response: “I am not concerned if the player’s father says he does not love me [on Twitter].
“As ever, we have our reasons to choose our line up and at this level you will never see happy faces when not selected.
“Between me & Christian, we have zero problems.”
Tuchel’s Rudiger problem
Thomas Tuchel has revealed that it’s going to be difficult to replace Antonio Rudiger.
That’s because of the sanctions imposed on Chelsea, Tuchel moaned.
But he also admitted that finding Rudiger’s replacement will be difficult even when the ban is lifted.
He said: “”At the moment, it is not possible [to replace him] because of the sanctions.
“And even when the sanctions are in the past, it will still be incredibly difficult to do so.”
Declan Rice tipped for transfer
Declan Rice will leave West Ham for Chelsea or Man United this summer.
That’s the view of Stan Collymore who told CaughtOffside: “West Ham, unfortunately, crashed out of the Europa League at the semi-final stage on Thursday evening after losing 3-1 on aggregate to Eintracht Frankfurt over two legs.
“Should the club fail to qualify for either of Europe’s two biggest competitions next season, I wonder what this could mean for their best players. Could the Hammers lose significant first-team players this summer?
“Well, Declan Rice is the obvious one. Manchester United and Chelsea and I think even the Spanish giants have been talked about in the press, so the clear answer is yes.”
It Kan happen
Paul Merson thinks Chelsea might cash in on N’Golo Kante if they can get up to £80m for the midfielder.
He said: “Kante’s situation is an interesting one, and I think Chelsea might cash in on him if they get a sizable bid of around £70-80 million for him this summer.
“With the way he plays, it’s hard to hit the heights every year in the Premier League, but it goes without saying that he has been a bit underwhelming this season.”
Chelsea get Wolves boost
Chelsea have been given a huge boost ahead of their game against Wolves this weekend.
That’s because Wolves boss Bruno Lage will be missing from the club’s dugout.
It’s been reported that Lage has been struck with Covid.
Rice’s ref rant
Chelsea transfer target Declan Rice is facing a three-game Uefa ban after he explosively accused officials of taking bribes after West Ham’s defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Aaron Cresswell was sent off and boss David Moyes dismissed to the stands as their European dreams came to an end.
And afterwards their star midfielder exploded at the match official inside the tunnel and now looks set to face Uefa action.
Tunnel cam footage has now emerged from after the clash, and it shows the furious Rice confronting the Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzan outside the changing-rooms.
The England ace blasts: “Ref! Ref! it is so poor. All night, it is so bad. How can you be that bad? Honestly.
He then turned to walk away and added: “You’ve probably been f***ing paid. F***ing corruption.”
Merson fears for Chelsea
Paul Merson fears for Chelsea’s defence when Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leave this summer.
He told Sky Sports: “Chelsea need bodies at the back.
“Antonio Rudiger’s gone on a free, Andreas Christensen’s going to go too, they’ve got Thiago Silva who’s outstanding, and they’ve got two kids in Malang Sarr and Trevoh Chalobah who are very talented, but it’s going to be hard to play them week-in, week-out.
“Rudiger will be a massive loss, I can’t express how big that’s going to be. If they played a four at the back, he wouldn’t be missed.”
Abramovich’s ‘anti-Glazer’ request
Roman Abramovich is demanding Chelsea’s new owners commit to not copying the Glazer Manchester United model, MARTIN LIPTON WRITES.
As part of the detailed discussions with the “preferred bidder” consortium headed by Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly, Abramovich is insisting on stringent conditions.
The Russian’s appointed brokers, the US-based Raine Group, have told Boehly that he must promise not to pay out dividends or take any management fees for a decade after the completion of the deal.
That would prevent Boehly from echoing the approach of the Glazers since their 2005 United takeover – and which has sparked consistent and growing protests from fans.
Boehly, backed by US venture capital investors Clearlake, is closing in on his £4bn takeover despite the late bid by Britain’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos group.
But Boehly will have to agree to Abramovich’s conditions before final approval – including limits on future debt levels and a commitment to spending £1bn on Stamford Bridge, the academy and the club’s highly-successful women’s team.
On your Marc
Marcos Alonso reportedly wants to quit Chelsea this summer and return to Spain.
The Blues are already set to lose defenders Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen in June.
The duo have both snubbed new deals and will depart Stamford Bridge for nothing, with both Barcelona and Real Madrid keen on the pair.
Now left wing-back Alonso, 31, allegedly wants to leave West London also.
That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims the veteran has made securing an exit from Chelsea a priority.
He states that Barcelona are keen on Alonso, despite the fact that he came through the ranks at their fierce rivals Madrid, and that the star has his heart set on a return to his homeland.
Back in the Blues’ Palm
Chelsea will welcome Emerson Palmieri back from Lyon this summer.
Palmieri’s been on loan with the French side this season, but will head back to Stamford Bridge when the season ends, according to Fabrizio Romano.
But several clubs including Juventus are keeping tabs on the defender, it’s also claimed.
Declan Rice on future goals
Declan Rice has dropped a huge hint about his future after West Ham were dumped out of Europe.
Rice couldn’t help the Hammers get into the Europa League final.
But the England ace admitted that he still wants more in his career.
He said: “I am young, I want more. The lads want more. This club deserves more.
“We have shown as a club we can do these big European nights.”
Cesc pays Raiola respects
Ex-Chelsea star Cesc Fabregras was among the host of stars who came out to pay respects at Mino Raiola’s funeral.
Raiola, who had lived in the Principality for a number of years, died on Saturday following a battle with illness aged 54.
He initially spent time in hospital at the beginning of the year and underwent very delicate surgery in January.
His passing shocked the football world, and many of the players that he represented throughout his career travelled to Monaco to honour him at a private ceremony held for family and close friends at the Saint-Charles church.
Transfer restrictions frustrate Chelsea
Chelsea bigwigs were reportedly frustrated by the restrictions that have ruled them out of the race to sign Erling Haaland.
The Blues were said to be keen on signing the Borussia Dortmund star last summer but opted for Romelu Lukakau when the German side revealed they would be hanging on to Haaland for another season.
Chelsea hoped to swoop for the Norwegian again this time around but their plans have been halted by the restrictions, much to the club’s dismay, according to ESPN.
Chelsea deal nears completion
Todd Boehly could become Chelsea’s new owner TODAY, according to reports.
The Telegraph reported that Boehly hopes to sign the first contract worth £4 billion on Friday.
As Roman Abramovich preparing to seek formal approval from Government for the deal.
After that, it should be all-clear for the deal to be conducted swiftly and smoothly, it’s been claimed.
Mour tears from Jose
Jose Mourinho shed tears after leading Roma to their first European final for 31 years and confessed: “This club has made me feel special again.”
The Portuguese legend created history by becoming the first boss to make it to five major European finals with four different clubs.
And after Tammy Abraham’s header in the win over Leicester booked Roma’s place in the Europa Conference League Final in Tirana, an emotional Mourinho confessed: “I shed a tear at the end, yes, because I feel what they all feel.
“My emotion was for everyone who loves this club. The fans, the players, the owners.
“This team spirit, we started building it in our summer camp in Portugal on the first day, and it’s built up since then, day after day – this game is icing on cake.
“This victory belongs to everyone – it’s a family win. Everyone played their part.”
Chelsea eye Rudiger/Christensen replacement
Chelsea are plotting a transfer move for RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol to help fill the void left by departing duo Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
The Premier League giants are desperate for reinforcements and have identified several targets.
And Goal claims that they have earmarked Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol.
The Croatian international, 20, is reportedly “seen as a good option to play on the left side of a back three” for Thomas Tuchel’s side.
Good morning Chelsea fans
Departing Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has maintained he is NOT demanding the repayment of his £1.6billion loan to the club.
Abramovich insisted he has engaged with the UK government to discuss how the promised charity donation from the sale should be carried out.
Government sources hinted that the Russian oligarch had made a U-turn on his initial pledge and demanded the money that had kept the West Londoners going for the past 19 years was paid to a Jersey-based company as part of the sale deal.
The consortium led by Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly is understood to be close to completing the final details of the package, despite the last-gasp bid by Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
But the entire process was seemingly imperilled by the claims that Abramovich was now demanding some financial compensation for being effectively forced to sell up after being branded an acolyte and supporter of Vladimir Putin and Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Boehly is “very close” to taking over at Chelsea with Ratcliffe’s late rival bid allegedly “not under consideration”.
That is according to CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs, who claims the US-based bank Raine, who are handling the takeover process for Abramovich, are not exploring any other “alternative options”.
Jacobs tweeted: “Boehly-Clearlake takeover of Chelsea is now very close to completion. Raine sources tell me Wednesday talks were ‘highly productive and no alternative options are being explored’.
“Sources within Boehly-Clearlake say they’ve remained ‘calm’ and are confident they will own”
But Sir Jim has told the Raine Group not to brush off his offer to buy the club.
Ratcliffe wants the group to factor in that his company is British and want the best for the club.
Sir Jim said, reported by the BBC: “My message to Raine is don’t discount our offer.
“We are British and have great intentions for Chelsea. If I was Raine I wouldn’t close any door.”
Finally, West Ham are planning a move for Chelsea wonderkid Armando Broja this summer following his loan spell at Southampton, reports SunSport’s Jack Rosser.
No transfers can happen before the Blues’ ownership crisis is solved but, once resolved, SunSport understands that Saints could quickly try to tie up a deal with Broja.
That is if they are willing to offer the forward similar wages to team-mates Che Adams and Adam Armstrong.
But the Hammers are set to rival Southampton and could win the transfer war with the offer of European football.
Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund have also registered an interest in the Albania international.
West Ham boss David Moyes has made it clear he wants to add quality to his squad this summer as he is short of options in attack

Push and Pul
Juventus are targeting Chelsea star Christian Pulisic ahead of the summer transfer window.
Pulisic has found game time difficult to come by this season, starting just ten league matches.
That means the forward may be open to moving with Juve keen to strike a deal, according to Tuttosport.
The Bianconeri reportedly view the USA international as a potential replacement for Paulo Dybala, who is set to leave on a free in the summer
Still a Lott to give
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti revealed that he will “probably retire” after his second spell at the Santiago Bernabeu ends.
But former Chelsea boss Ancelotti then immediately threw a curveball by saying he would happily spend another ten years at Real if the newly-crowned LaLiga champions want him to.
Ancelotti told Amazon Prime: “After this Real Madrid chapter, I will probably retire.
“But if Real wants me to stay here for 10 years, I’ll stay another 10 years.
“I would like to be with my grandchildren, to go on holiday with my wife. There are so many things to do that I’ve had to put aside.
“The national team in the future can be an option. Canada? Why not? I’d like it.
“There’s a lot of places I’ve never been to. I’ve never been to Australia. I’ve never been to Rio de Janeiro. I want to go visit my sister more often.
“Unfortunately you can’t do everything, so the day I retire, I’ll have all these things to do”
Chelsea Blue-min’ hell
Chelsea stars N’Golo Kante and Jorginho are about to enter the final year of their contracts.
SunSport’s Andy Dillon reports that the Blues are worried midfield pair will quit as the club’s takeover reaches crisis point.
Jorginho especially has voiced a desire to return to his homeland before retiring and team-mates fear he may go this summer to add to the domino effect in the dressing room.
Antonio Rudiger is set to join Real Madrid, while Andreas Christensen and captain Cesar Azpilicueta are likely to join Barcelona as their deals are expiring in June

Rice faces three-match European ban
Declan Rice faces a three-match European ban after his X-rated tunnel rant at a referee.
And that spells bad news for Chelsea and Manchester United, who are both chasing the England midfielder this summer.
West Ham star Rice, 23, blasted Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzan after last night’s Europa League semi-final defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Sensational footage captured Rice losing his head in the tunnel after a game which saw Aaron Cresswell and David Moyes receive red cards.

Ward-Prowse has spent his entire career playing for Southampton, having signed for them initially as an 8-year-old in 2003.
Since then he has amassed 360 appearances for the club and was made club captain in 2020.

United’s next fixture
Man Utd will be taking on Brighton next.
Man United make transfer enquiry

Declan Rice tipped for transfer
Declan Rice will leave West Ham for Chelsea or Man United this summer.
That’s the view of Stan Collymore who told CaughtOffside: “West Ham, unfortunately, crashed out of the Europa League at the semi-final stage on Thursday evening after losing 3-1 on aggregate to Eintracht Frankfurt over two legs.

“Well, Declan Rice is the obvious one. Manchester United and Chelsea and I think even the Spanish giants have been talked about in the press, so the clear answer is yes.”
Maguire in line for selection
Harry Maguire is in line for a return against Brighton but Marcus Rashford will miss the Prem clash, Ralf Rangnick has revealed.
Rangnick said: “Harry is back in training, he trained the whole week since the second day after the Brentford game so he will be available for tomorrow and part of the group.
“Edinson is training, he came on as a substitute (against Brentford). Marcus Rashford will be missing, he’s got bronchitis with a high temperature so he won’t be able to be part of the group.
“We have a question mark over Eric Bailly, he called the doctor this morning and has some problems with his back.”
Man United transfer target
Manchester United are poised to battle Newcastle for Sporting Lisbon wonderkid Goncalo Inacio, according to reports.
The Portugal Under-21 defender helped his club win the Primeira Liga title last season.
Newcastle had a £25million bid for the centre-back rejected in January, but Toon scouts have continued to monitor his progress.
And Lisbon media have now claimed that incoming Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag has targeted the 20-year-old as part of his rebuilding plans.
Rangnick on Lingard
Ralf Rangnick has revealed why Jesse Lingard missed Man United’s last home game this season.
He said: “To start with, in the last couple of weeks under my tenure, Jesse has played far more games than he used to.
“Secondly, on game day against Chelsea, he asked me to release him from the game and training the following day for personal family reasons.
“With only three subs against Brentford, I had to make a decision between Edinson Cavani and Jesse, or the young Alejandro Garnacho, who I would have loved to have brought on and given a chance to play.
“I took the decision to bring on Edinson. Had I not brought on him, someone might have asked if it was classless not to bring on Cavani or Garnahco.
“After two subs, you have to make a decision, and this will not be to the liking of everybody, but this is part of the game.”
Declan Rice’s ref rant
Man United transfer target Declan Rice is facing a three-game Uefa ban after he explosively accused officials of taking bribes after West Ham’s defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt.

I don’t Wan-t to go

The defender wants to sit down with new boss Erik ten Hag and see where he fits into the team.
That’s the claims made by football journalist Jonathan Shrager.
Evra shocking claims
Man United ace Patrice Evra has made shocking claims that he witnessed homophobia when at West Ham.
Evra alleged to Gabby Logan on the Mid Point podcast, reported by The Metro: It’s like you can’t be a gay football player, people will go mad
“I give the example, when I was playing for West Ham, someone from the English federation came and he said “we need to accept everyone” and the amount of players that were like “no, if some of my team mates are gay they have to leave now. I won’t do any shower [with them]”
“I stand up and I say “shut up, shut up everyone, can you hear yourselves?” We still don’t accept everyone. In the football world they are not open minded enough and it’s a shame.”
Made a Mej of things
Hannibal Mejbri was “reprimended” by interim boss Ralf Rangnick following his chaotic six-minute appearance against Liverpool.
Hannibal managed to pick up a booking in his short time on the field after a number of reckless challenges.
And while Manchester United legend Gary Neville admitted he was “proud” of the performance, one man who wasn’t was Rangnick.
The 19-year-old was demoted back to the U23s following the game on Rangnick’s orders.
That’s according to ESPN, who claim the interim gaffer had words with Hannibal following the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool.
Being dropped back down to the youth side reportedly came as a punishment for his on-field antics.

Elanga’s wishes for next season

He said to Sky Sports: “Despite what’s happened this season, I still feel I’ve learnt a lot and I’m ready to take my game to the next level next season.
“I feel like I’m ready to go to the next level. I aim to get better every single day because that’s my mindset.
“I know I can always get better and I’ve got wonderful players, good staff and good people around me to help me reach that next level.”
Eyes on the prize
Ex-Man United star Quinton Fortune claims he was watching Liverpool signing Luis Diaz’s progress for years.
He told The Athletic: “As much as we don’t want to say it, Liverpool – every time they sign a player, you are thinking.
“Wow, they look like they have done their homework.
“Take Luis Diaz. I had been watching him for the last few months and years, thinking, ‘Oh my goodness, this is the player United need to sign’.
“Then Liverpool sign him and you are just thinking, ‘Nooo! How are we missing these players? Come on! Help me out here!”

“We have shown as a club we can do these big European nights.”
Paying respects to Raiola
A host of star-studded names were in attendance to pay their respects at the funeral of super agent Mino Raiola in Monte Carlo.
Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, who is set to join Manchester City this summer, joined the likes of AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic and PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma at yesterday’s service for the man who represented them.
His passing shocked the football world, and many of the players that he represented throughout his career travelled to Monaco to honour him at a private ceremony held for family and close friends at the Saint-Charles church.
Ex-PSG, Manchester United and Sweden striker Ibrahimovic, 40, was one of Raiola’s longest and closest clients.
The agent, who represents Paul Pogba, was involved in some of the most historic transfers in history, known for his shrewd bargaining skills with the world’s biggest teams.
Rooney and Ronaldo get praised
Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney have been named as some of Anthony Elanga’s idols.
striker Anthony Elanga’s idols.
The United attacker told Sky Sports: “Thierry Henry is someone who I liked watching when I grew up as well.
“He could play left wing, right-wing, as a striker. He was strong, quick and could finish.
“I still look at his clips today and try to learn something from the way he used to play and try to add it to my game.
“I grew up watching United as well, so the likes of Wayne Rooney and obviously Cristiano Ronaldo.”
Cavani explains Ronaldo admission
Cavani went onto explain why he would’ve left Man United if he knew Ronaldo was going to re-join the club.
He added: ”
“But not because I didn’t want to play with Cristiano Ronaldo. No.
“Because I had the opportunity to meet him, and he’s a great professional, with his objectives, and that’s perfect for sportsmen.
“But as I know, after years in football, how things are these days… That’s why I was talking to my brother.
“It was more about understanding the situation. Not because I couldn’t play in my place at Manchester, but because there are a lot of things in football today that are different from how they were with other coaches, how it was before, years ago.
“But how it happened suddenly, at no time did I have any sensation. I thought: ‘Let’s play, do the best we can’.”
Edinson Cavani’s shock Ronaldo revelation
Edinson Cavani revealed he wouldn’t have agreed a contract extension with Man United had he known they would land Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cavani, 35, had his No7 shirt taken from him when the Portuguese captain joined last summer.
Cavani, who was speaking to ESPN Brazil said: “Speaking the truth, for I always tell the truth, as it should be.
“At the moment it happened, I thought it was good that Manchester signed Cristiano.
“Knowing a little about the world of football today, the first thing I did was call my brother and I said: ‘Fernando, if this had happened a week ago, I would have asked you to sign with another club’.”
Mour tears from Jose
Jose Mourinho shed tears after leading Roma to their first European final for 31 years and confessed: “This club has made me feel special again.”
The Portuguese legend created history by becoming the first boss to make it to five major European finals with four different clubs.
And after Tammy Abraham‘s header in the win over Leicester booked Roma‘s place in the Europa Conference League Final in Tirana, an emotional Mourinho confessed: “I shed a tear at the end, yes, because I feel what they all feel.
“My emotion was for everyone who loves this club. The fans, the players, the owners.
“This team spirit, we started building it in our summer camp in Portugal on the first day, and it’s built up since then, day after day – this game is icing on cake.
“This victory belongs to everyone – it’s a family win. Everyone played their part.”
Pot of luck
Graham Potter knows form goes out the window when you face Cristiano Ronaldo.
Brighton welcome Manchester United on Saturday on a run of three wins in five games — including beating Tottenham and Arsenal away and demolishing Wolves at Molineux last weekend.
“He is not getting any younger but you retain your brain and understanding and his finishing is as clinical as you will get.
“Whatever you say about United’s season, they have still got some fantastic players who can hurt you in a second.
“That is going be our challenge.
“We have to play well again, we have to do everything close to perfect, and then survive the moments that you need to survive against top teams.”
Good morning Man Utd fans
RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku wants to leave the Bundesliga giants this summer amid interest from the Premier League.
That is according to L’Equipe, who claim that Nkunku believes the time is now to quit Leipzig with Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle all keeping tabs.
But the Prem giants are not the only ones after the attacking midfielder as AC Milan, Bayern Munich and former club Paris Saint-Germain are also eyeing him.
The France international has stood out this season with a staggering 32 goals and 20 assists in 49 appearances across all competitions.
Transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio recently stated a Premier League move is likelier for the 24-year-old ace.
However, Leipzig are not keen to sell Nkunku ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, United are facing a battle to keep Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford, reports SunSport’s Neil Custis.
Ronaldo is considering a move away after just a year back at the club with the Red Devils’ Champions League qualification hopes over.
Much will come down to what incoming manager Erik Ten Hag’s plans are, but he has yet to decide what he wants to do about the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Ten Hag does not want to discuss any player matters with the Manchester giants until he has concluded the Eredivisie title race with Ajax.
And Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has dealt United a huge blow by saying captain James Ward-Prowse is not for sale.
SunSport exclusively revealed that Ward-Prowse is Ten Hag’s top target to boss his midfield.
Hasenhuttl said: “He has another four years on his contract, he’s our captain and he’s happy here.
“Fans love him and we know how important he is to our team. The development of his game is why he’s a true winner.
“I think he’s very exceptional. I haven’t seen any players similar.”
Finally, Monaco star and United target Aurelien Tchouameni prefers a move to the Premier League.
According to Di Marzio, Tchouameni’s priority is to play in England.
He told wettfreunde: “A lot of clubs in the Premier League are following him. Arsenal, Manchester United to name a few. He prefers to play in the Premier League.
“Nowadays the players want to play in the Premier League. He stayed another year in Monaco because he was waiting for the possibility of going to the Premier League.
“I think this could be the summer for him to go”

by Philippa Kaur 6 May 2022, 15:55
ARSENAL manager Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract with the club that will see him stay at the Emirates until the 2024/25 season. Meanwhile, the Gunners are in the race to sign Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen, according to reports.
And Arsenal have revealed their three kits for the 2022/23 season.
Keep up to date with all of the latest updates from the Emirates in our live blog…

How Arsenal could line up against Leeds
Arsenal could name an unchanged side from the team that beat West Ham 2-1 at the London Stadium for Sunday’s clash against Leeds.
The Gunners boosted their chances of Champions League qualification after edging the Hammers to move two points clear of Tottenham in fourth.
But Arsenal were dealt a blow prior to kick-off after Ben White was ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Bukayo Saka was then withdrawn late into the second half to spark fears off a possible knock.
Arsenal’s next fixture
Arsenal play Leeds at home NEXT.
Arteta wants to keep best
One of Mikel Arteta’s first objectives after penning a new deal is to retain Arsenal’s best players.
He said: “What we want to do is improve the team, the squad. Obviously, we know there’s not one player who doesn’t have a margin to improve or evolve in this way of playing or his career.
“We want to retain our best players, for sure and we want to add into that, more quality and depth to be competitive.”
Arteta’s contract surprise
Mikel Arteta has revealed when he was offered a new contract by Arsenal’s hierarchy.
He said: “The club offered me the contract on the day we lost three matches.
That day I said ‘chapeau and we go’. That doesn’t happen in football. That’s a part of what they think, the belief they have in myself, the coaching staff and what we’re doing.
“The people that we have now owning and leading this football club.
“I hadn’t seen it, and I just got emotional when I saw it because I thought ‘these guys are serious and these guys are committed, so I’d better push forward’.”
Stay away from Dybala
Paulo Dybala isn’t the answer to Arsenal’s striker issues.
That’s the view of Gunners legend Kevin Campbell who told Football Insider: “If you are coming with an injury record, Arsenal isn’t the place to come.
“It seems that injury problems are always exposed at Arsenal.
“Injuries are part and parcel of the game but I think Arteta and Edu should go younger, quicker and fitter. Dybala isn’t the answer.”
Be on guard
Former Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit has ripped into Pep Guardiola for failing to lead Man City to the Champions League final.
Petit said on RMC: “Guardiola was a nervous wreck. He kept hassling Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden.
“He needs to let his players focus on their game. But it was crazy – he was on edge throughout.
“You could see that his assistants sometimes didn’t even dare answer him back.”
Piers questions Arteta contract extension
Piers Morgan has questioned why Arsenal decided to give Mikel Arteta a new contract.
Morgan reckons Arteta needs to achieve something before getting rewarded with a new deal.
He tweeted: “WHAT? Maybe wait until he achieves something? Why is he getting this now?”
Saliba’s Arsenal career examined
Paul Merson has given his theory why William Saliba hasn’t prospered at Arsenal.
Merson said: “There must be a reason he’s been loaned out three times by the club. Was he getting ripped in training?
“I don’t see why he’s still on loan otherwise. Arsenal paid a lot of money for him but I think if anyone offers them their money back they would take it right now.
“It’s almost three years he’s been there now and he can’t get a look in. Maybe Mikel Arteta has watched him train and decided he’s nowhere near ready.”
Arteta’s contract extension ‘means nothing’
Mikel Arteta signing a new contract means nothing as he’ll get sacked for not delivering the goods next season.
That’s the opinion of talkSPORT host Simon Jordan.
Jordan said: “It’s really academic. I felt he earned another year. If Arsenal progress next year, he’ll be in situ.
“If they have a terrible season next year, all that’ll happen is he’ll get more money out of getting sacked. So I think it means very little.”
Champions League football goals
Edu has stressed how important playing Champions League football is to Arsenal’s progress.
He added: “In order to do that, we have to be playing in the Champions League.
“We have to be able to evolve the team, improve our players, improve all departments, generate even more connection with our fans, improve the atmosphere at the Emirates, be able to recruit top, top talent and the best people for this club to drive this project to that level.”
Ed’ing in the right direction
Arsenal transfer supremo Edu reckons Mikel Arteta’s contract extension has come at the ‘perfect time.’
And Edu revealed that he and Arteta now want to take the club to the next level.
Edu said: “I think the timing is perfect.
“I really believe the message will be a big lift to everyone. To the fans, to the club, to the players, to Mikel.”
“We want to take the club to the next level and to compete really with the top teams.”
Arteta in transfer blow
Mikel Arteta has been dealt a blow in his pursuit of Noussair Mazraoui after the Ajax star reportedly “completed” a Bayern Munich medical.
Arsenal were said to be keen on recruiting the out of contract right-back to provide competition to Takehiro Tomiyasu.
But after talks with Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann and CEO Oliver Kahn, Mazraoui has decided to link up with the Bundesliga champions.
The 24-year-old has now successfully completed his medical with the club, according to German outlet Bild.
And while he is yet to officially put pen to paper, terms between Bayern and Mazraoui are fully agreed.
An official announcement is expecting in the coming days, forcing Arsenal to pursue alternative targets.
Arteta speaks on Arsenal fans
Arsenal fans are at the core of Mikel Arteta’s decision to extend his contract at the club.
He said: “For me they have been the tsunami of this project.
“For two seasons we haven’t had them, and without them it was impossible to do it.
“So the moment we have had them close to us, and they have sensed and felt that energy and that way of now representing the club to a much deeper level, that’s when a sense of belonging from the fans is natural.
“That’s why everything has clicked in my opinion, to go and perform to the level that we are doing now.”
Arteta’s contract joy
Speaking of his joy, Arteta told Arsenal’s website: “I’m excited, grateful and really, really happy today.
“When I spoke to Josh he could see the club at the same point and he wanted to take the club the way I wanted to do it.
“So everything that he’s said, and that Stan [Kroenke] has said when I’ve been together with both of them, they’ve always delivered.
“We want to take the club to the next level and to compete really with the top teams. In order to do that, we have to be playing in the Champions League.
“We have to be able to evolve the team, improve our players, improve all departments, generate even more connection with our fans, improve the atmosphere at the Emirates, be able to recruit top, top talent and the best people for this club to drive this project to that level.”
Mikel Arteta signs new contract
Mikel Arteta has signed a new long-term contract at Arsenal until 2025 with the club on the brink of qualifying for the Champions League.
The 40-year-old, who took charge of the Gunners in December 2019, had been tied down at the Emirates until 2023.
But with Arsenal sitting in fourth spot with four games to go, the club have rewarded him with a bumper new contract.
Thierry Henry named as idol
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has been named as one of Man United striker Anthony Elanga’s idols.
The United attacker told Sky Sports: “Thierry Henry is someone who I liked watching when I grew up as well.
“He could play left wing, right-wing, as a striker. He was strong, quick and could finish.
“I still look at his clips today and try to learn something from the way he used to play and try to add it to my game.
“I grew up watching United as well, so the likes of Wayne Rooney and obviously Cristiano Ronaldo.”
Arsenal in Europe
Arsenal had a major presence in Europe last night despite not being in any competition.
Gunners loanees Reiss Nelson who plays for Feyenoord went up against Matteo Guendouzi and William Saliba’s who were shipped out to Marseille this season in the Europa Conference League semi-final last night.
Saliba and Guendozi were pictured after the game having a catch up.
And the pairs rendevous was caught by Feyenoord who shared a clip of them speaking on Twitter, with the caption: “A Gunner respects a Gunner.”
Xhak’s got all the chat
There’s a number of vocal stars in Arsenal’s dressing room.
And Granit Xhaka’s the loudest of them all, according to Gunners youngster Kido Taylor-Hart.
He told Football London: “I know some of the younger guys like Bukayo (Saka), Emile (Smith Rowe) and Eddie (Nketiah). They all talk to me.
“There are a few of the older players who are quite vocal. Granit (Xhaka), he likes to talk to the young players a lot.”

Take your Hick
Arsenal are plotting a transfer swoop for Bologna wonderkid Aaron Hickey.

Arsenal Mik taker
Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale has outed Martin Odegaard and Cedric Soares as manager Mikel Arteta’s two teacher’s pets.
Ramsdale told That Peter Crouch Podcast: “Martin Odegaard is parched. To be fair he was playing for Real Madrid when he was 12.
“I don’t know what they are saying because they speak Spanish. The day after a game he [Arteta] will speak to most people in English.
“Maybe one of the two of the lads who’s English isn’t perfect [he’ll speak to in foreign languages]. But Martin’s English is perfect and he’s speaking Spanish. How parched.”
Ramsdale added: “And I’ll tell you who is another parched. Cedric Soares, he thinks he’s a future Pep [Guardiola]. Brilliant”
Eddie the Eagle
Arsenal ace Eddie Nketiah is Crystal Palace’s top striking target, according to SunSport’s Jack Rosser.
