There have been rumours lately that Arsenal are in talks about a potential move for Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as they seek to boost their midfield ranks. However, Fabrizio Romano has shot them down.

“Despite reports to the contrary, I’m told there were no talks for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to Arsenal in the summer,” the Italian transfer expert told Caught Offside. “We will see what happens in the future but in January it’s going to be really difficult to see him leaving Lazio.”  .......Read more here.....

Having spent a significant amount of money to strengthen their ranks during the summer, Arsenal have made a surprisingly strong start to the Premier League season.

Arsenal were by far the better team on the day as they defied the odds to claim a valuable win on Saturday. The 2-0 scoreline did nothing to flatter the Gunners, who probably should have won by more. Tottenham were very poor on the day but that should not take away from the performance of the home side.  .......Read more here.....

The Premier League heavyweights are thought to have sent the scouts to Estadio do Dragao this weekend, for Porto’s clash with Moreirense in order to monitor the two targets – Andre Silva and Danilo Pereira.

The in-form striker Andre Silva has been putting in some remarkable displays for his team throughout the season thus far with numbers speaking volumes of his ability.  .......Read more here.....
