AS Roma’s reported interest in Shkodran Mustafi looks like it isn’t going to go anywhere, with the Serie A side loaning Chris Smalling from Manchester United instead.

Alexis Sanchez is expected in Milan today or tomorrow for a medical ahead of a loan switch that sees United still have to pay the majority of the Chilean’s wages.

Luke Shaw’s injury is set to keep him out for five or six weeks, meaning he’s already a major doubt for Arsenal’s trip to Old Trafford next month.

Arsenal have one main goal this season – return to the Champions League whether that is by the Premier League top four route or by winning the Europa League, but will they do either?

Feyenoord director Sjaak Troost believes Robin van Persie and Dirk Kuyt will help them negotiate with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in future.

Arsenal’s shirt is the sixth most popular in football, selling an average of 800,000 a year but they are behind Liverpool who have seen their shirt sales soar after their Champions League exploits.
