"I'm happy with anybody now to be honest because this Arsenal transfer philosophy is an absolute joke," he said.

“It really is a joke and has been ever since David Dein left the building.

“I'm confused because we all need defenders and they are hard to get. Liverpool spent £60m to £70m getting one of the best you can get, and we can't seem to identify one.”

“We're the ninth richest club and we can only get loan deals. I don't care if the manager likes this player or not, please Arsenal, get some defenders in!”

Almirón has twice featured for the MLS All-Star team, and was selected in the MLS Best XI at the end of both of his seasons with the Georgia-based club.

He will wear the squad number 24 for the Magpies.

"I’m very happy and eager to start and to meet my new team mates," Almiron told NUFC TV. "The league is very competitive, this is a historic club, and Rafa Benitez himself were the main reasons why I am here now.

The Dutch youngster is highly rated at PSV

Manchester United are pondering making a move for PSV winger Steven Bergwijn, according to Sky Sports.

According to the report, the Red Devils would have to part with at least £30 million ($40m) if they wish to land the 21-year-old.

"This is the perfect club for Anthony to progress his development as a top-class forward and we are all delighted he has signed a long-term deal.”

How quickly things can change, eh?

The forward has pledged his long-term future to the club

“I would like to thank Ole and his coaching staff for their belief in me and for helping me to take my game to the next level. This club is all about winning trophies and I am sure the next piece of silverware is not that far away.”

Bayern Munich are unlikely to give up in their efforts to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi, who remains hopeful that Chelsea will allow him to leave in the summer, Goal understands.

Chelsea rejected the 18-year-old's transfer request on Monday and told him that they are not willing to sell him in January or in the summer, but the winger is still keen to join Bayern.

Could Arsenal have the new Andres Iniesta on their hands? 🤔

“The person I look up to most in the world of football is Andres Iniesta,” Suarez told the official Arsenal website.

“He’s always been my idol, ever since I was young. As well as the fact that he plays in a similar position to me, I was also able to spend two years with him - I learned a lot from him.

"It’s always been a massive compliment to be compared to him.”

The England international has seen his future called into question on a regular basis since establishing himself as one of the most prolific strikers in world football.

Waddle stated: “Harry Kane won't leave Tottenham this summer, but his head will eventually turn towards winning trophies.

“Real Madrid can practically guarantee that, as well as a very generous pay rise. He seems very settled at Tottenham and he's enjoying his football, but when he looks back at his career he will want his goals to have secured medals."

Juventus have been forced to contend with a mounting injury crisis, with Giorgio Chiellini the latest player to be laid low.

Chiellini joins Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli on the sidelines meaning Daniele Rugani and new signing Martin Caceres are the only fit centre-backs.

As such, Massimiliano Allegri may have to look to the market for reinforcements, particularly with Champions League games on the horizon.

Portugal veteran Bruno Alves, who is now plying his trade with Parma following a stint in Scotland with Rangers, has been touted as a potential addition.

Manchester United’s failure to find a suitable manager has been “embarrassing”, says Paul Ince, with the club needing to avoid the mistakes of David Moyes and Jose Mourinho when assessing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s claims to the job.

The former United midfielder told Paddy Power: “People are getting ahead of themselves in suggesting that Solskjaer should be made permanent manager.

"The game against Burnley [a 2-2 draw], despite coming back into it, proved that the team aren’t there yet. I’m not saying he’s not done well, he’s been fantastic, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready for the job yet.

“You’ve got to be careful. Whoever takes the job on a permanent basis must be the right man."

Tyrone Mings is close to a loan move to Aston Villa as a number of Championship clubs chase the centre-back.

The Mail claim Villa are leading the race to sign Mings for the rest of the season, though Nottingham Forest and West Brom are both still in contention.

Arsenal's out-of-favour star Mesut Ozil has rejected a possible loan move to PSG.

SZ claim the French heavyweights were interested in a possible loan deal with Neymar now out injured for up to 10 weeks, but Ozil was quick to turn down the chance.

Ozil has struggled to establish himself in Unai Emery's side but did start against Cardiff on Tuesday. 

Inter Milan were also reportedly interested in landing Ozil on loan this month, though any deadline-day move for the midfielder now appears very unlikely. 

The arrival of Gonzalo Higuain at Stamford Bridge has seen fresh interest in Chelsea's second striker Olivier Giroud.

With an injury cloud over Marko Arnautovic, West Ham are keen to make another attempt to land the Frenchman, according to The Mirror.

The Hammers also tried to sign Giroud as he was preparing to leave Arsenal early last year, but lost out to Chelsea on that occasion.

With Neymar set to spend 10 weeks on the sidelines through injury, PSG have identified another Brazilian to replace him.

Willian also still has 18 months to run on his current Chelsea contract.
