Arsene Wenger is confident new Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta will extend his contract as he enters the final year of his current deal.
The Spaniard replaced Thomas Vermaelen as skipper after the Belgian became the fifth captain in nine years to be sold by Arsenal.
With less than 12 months to run on his current deal at the Emirates Stadium, Arteta has been linked with a move to Athletic Bilbao.
Wenger s policy of offering just one-year extensions to players over the age of 30 has previously seen several stars leave, but the Frenchman is sure his current captain will not join that list.
He said: You know the policy, nobody accepts it. But even [players] at 75 you ideally want to sign for one more year!
He is a strong personality, Mikel Arteta. I don…
There is a quote in the book Jose Mourinho: The Secrets Behind His Success in which Alex Ferguson says of the Portuguese: I look at Jose and I see myself reflected in many of the things he does.
Having spent three torturous years trying to replace Ferguson the David Moyes experiment failed miserably and the idiosyncratic Louis van Gaal proved to be another embarrassing flop Manchester United are expected to this week appoint the man who arguably most resembles the obdurate Scot.
How influential Ferguson has been in United s pursuit of Mourinho may never be disclosed, but, in choosing the 53-year-old, United appear to have sought Fergie 2.0
On the face of it, Van Gaal ticked many of the boxes too a glittering CV and an ego capable of handling the pressure of mana…
Liverpool s reluctance to hold back Dominic Solanke s development was a crucial factor in the striker s sale to Bournemouth, according to Jurgen Klopp.
Solanke joined Bournemouth on Friday in a reported £19million deal, having failed to make a single competitive appearance for the Reds in all competitions this season.
The former Chelsea forward arrived at Anfield at the start of 2017-18, but scored just one goal in 21 Premier League appearances last term.
And Klopp has revealed that although Liverpool were keen for Solanke to progress, they could not stand in the way of his need for regular football.
Football is a business, but on the other side we have to care about people, their situation, Klopp told a news conference.
For Dominic it was abso…
Sergi Barjuan gave no thought to his immediate future as Barcelona s interim head coach during their 1-0 Champions League win at Dynamo Kiev, saying god will decide if he is still in charge for Saturday s clash with Celta Vigo.
Barca boosted their hopes of progressing to the last 16 with a second successive victory over Dynamo, despite an unconvincing performance in Kiev on Tuesday.
Ansu Fati s superb second-half strike settled matters for Barca, who clinched a triumph that took them second in Group E amid intense speculation the club is set to appoint club legend Xavi as Ronald Koeman s successor.
Barca visit Celta this weekend, with Sergi unsure whether he will be overseeing that game or back leading Barca s B team in their home game with Sevilla s B outfit a…
Former Juventus and Barcelona defender Lilian Thuram has curated a museum exhibition show to help explain the background of racist ideas.
The show, named Human Zoos: The Invention of the Savage , demonstrates how African and American villagers were once shipped to colonisers in order to go on public display as a form of colonial propaganda, while further emphasising race hierarchy theory, during the early 19th and 20th centuries.
Thuram, who was born in Guadeloupe and saw his footballing career cut short in 2008 due to health problems, has been campaigning against race discrimination ever since retirement.
“You have to have the courage to say that each of us has prejudices, and these prejudices have a history,” Thuram told The Associated Press.

The Japan Football Association seemed to indicate they will sack coach Javier Aguirre after the Asian Cup due to match-fixing allegations.
The Japan Football Association (JFA) have changed their tune regarding coach Javier Aguirre, with president Kuniya Daini hinting on Thursday that the Mexican tactician could be sacked after the Asian Cup.
A court in the Spanish city of Valencia agreed to hear a case against Aguirre regarding match-fixing earlier this week and, having previously defended their coach, the JFA now appears keen to distance itself from the 56-year-old.
While Daini claimed the JFA is only focused on the Asian Cup in Australia, where Japan are attempting to defend their title, he indicated Aguirre s tenure could end after the continental championship…

Capcom has released a new update for Dragon’s Dogma 2 and finally addresses one of the action RPG’s main performance issues. Players reported frame rate drops in towns and other areas at launch with numerous NPCs. The patch improves on this, though adjusting one’s settings lower can lead to better results. There will be further frame rate improvements in future updates.
Interestingly, that’s only a footnote in the patch, which includes several quality-of-life features to the storage. Players can now sell items and equip armor from the storage menu while the cap on items of the same type that can be stored is raised from 99 to 999.
It’s also easier to find ox carts in the field, and items like the Venator’s Leggings, Rin…
