Sanchez to Newcastle

12:00: Shay Given believes Newcastle could be able to attract Alexis Sanchez with the help of investor money

He told the Daily Star: “If the investors come in and have got endless amounts of money, they could sign [Alexis] Sanchez, for example.

“It depends who these new owners are.

“I’m not saying he’ll go there and they could instead trawl down the bottom part of the league – you just don’t know how much money they’ll have.

“When you look at Sheikh Mansour when he came to Manchester City and signed Robinho.

“Will these people have that money to spend or will it be a bit more of shopping down the ladder?”

Ramsey opens up on Lacazette goal

11:30: Aaron Ramsey has insisted his assist for Alexandre Lacazette’s goal against Manchester United was intentional.

“I was going to take a touch but out of the corner of my eye I saw De Gea coming out, Lacazette was up there so I just knocked it back to him.

“Hopefully that puts an end to that debate,” he said.

Goretzka ‘done deal’

11:00: Arsenal are confident they will sign Leon Goretzka on a free transfer next summer.

The German midfielder is out-of-contract at the end of the season and The Sun say the Gunners believe they have won the race to sign him.
