Tale on the Arsenal bench?
His demented agent
Mikel Arteta is more than ever in an ejection seat at Arsenal, the Premier League's red lantern with three defeats in three matches and zero goals scored.
Rumor has it about a solicitation of Antonio Conte by the leaders of the Gunners.
The Italian coach (52) is free after leaving Inter Milan with an Italian league title last May.
But the rumor according to which Arsenal would have a pre-agreement with him is "
not true at all
", denied the Italian agent and close to Conte, Federico Pastorello, in the English press.
Conte knows England from his time at Chelsea (2016-2018) where he won the Premier League in 2017.
MU: the arrival of Ronaldo, a "
bad news
" for van de Beek
The return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United is not only happy. It's even “
bad news
” for Donny van de Beek, according to his agent Guido Albers. Often replacing last season, the Dutch midfielder (24) has remained on the bench in the Red Devils' first three games this season. "
Pogba is playing on the left and with the arrival of Cristiano, it means an additional player in the middle because Pogba will not stay on the left
", lamented Albers at the microphone of the Dutch channel
Ziggo Sport
. In reality, Ronaldo could rather play at the forefront of the 4-2-3-1 Mancunian, but the starting places will indeed be more expensive. "
We took the initiative to find a club and our search ended with Everton.
On Monday evening (August 30) we got a phone call from Solskjaer and the club who told us that a transfer was out of the question,
”revealed Albers.
Recruited for € 39m from Ajax Amsterdam last year, van de Beek is under contract with Manchester United until 2025.

Man.
City: Guardiola refused Saul Niguez
It was one of the hot issues of the end of the transfer window. The versatile midfielder of Atlético de Madrid, Saul Niguez, was announced with insistence in England. It was neither Manchester United nor Manchester City who won the bet but Chelsea. The Spaniard (26) was loaned to the Blues for € 5m with a € 40m purchase option. According to the
Daily Star
, Pep Guardiola saw little point in Niguez joining City. Above all, he would have refused Atlético's ultimate proposal, namely a check in addition to the player in exchange for Portuguese attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva (27). The latter therefore remained with the Citizens despite strong competition for his post with Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez, Ferran Torres and Phil Foden.
