Whilst Arsenal are predominantly looking to sign a striker and a left winger this summer, sporting director Andrea Berta has sprung a surprise. In addition to the aforementioned positions, Berta is trying to identify an attacking player who is simply able to add a bit of star quality across several positions at Arsenal.

But in order to give Mikel Arteta a bit of the maverick-like…

Massimiliano Allegri never set about to directly replace Tijjani Reijnders and rather wished to construct a different type of midfield.

Above all, Reijnders left his mark on the pitch and on the fans who made him a real favourite, and it will be a tall order to replace him. This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) dedicates an article to Milan’s pursuit of Ardon Jashari, who is the one that Allegri really wants to…
