The 19-year-old swapped the Ligue 2 side for the Emirates Stadium in July after a £7 million ($9.1m) fee was agreed for his signature, and he has quickly become a staple in Unai Emery's first XI. "I knew when I first saw him that he had something special and that a lot of clubs would be after him," Aliadiere told Goal. "I said to him that for his development Arsenal would definitely be the right place for him." <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/ex-arsenal-striker-aliadiere-reveals-his-role-in-guendouzis/1f2n14tj4ukhe1azk37igfwpq1" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

AC Milan have sent Kaka back to Brazil to convince Lucas Paqueta to reject Barcelona and move to Serie A, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuttosport.com" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>. The former attacking midfielder and Brazil star returned to the Rossoneri in a background role and the Italian side are hoping he can talk one of Flamengo's top talents into joining them. Barca have been monitoring the 21-year-old since his breakthrough and are considering a move for him before he extends his contract and raises his release clause to&nbsp;€70 million (£63m/$81m). However, Milan hope a word from a Ballon d'Or winner will see him head to San Siro before long.

Juventus will move for Real Madrid star Marcelo to slot in at left-back if they sell Alex Sandro,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/serie-a/juventus/2018/09/09-47237435/juventus_sulla_fascia_sinistra_il_futuro_marcelo/" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>&nbsp;claims. Marcelo had been linked to the Turin side before the last transfer window closed as it was reported he wanted to follow Cristiano Ronaldo to Serie A. While no move materialised, Juve are still on the lookout for reinforcements and see the 30-year-old as a good option. They have already rejected interest from Chelsea for Alex Sandro,&nbsp;but may let him go in January or next summer and turn to his compatriot.

Ricardo Rodriguez says he ignored interest from Paris Saint-Germain in order to stay at AC Milan this season. The Switzerland international left-back joined the Rossoneri from Wolfsburg last year and played a pivotal role in all competitions last season. And his bright displays caught attention from the Spanish capital, but Rodriguez opted to stay put. He told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tagblatt.ch/sport/es-stand-50-zu-50-dass-ich-uberlebe-ld.1051618" target="_blank">Tagblatt</a>:&nbsp;"Yes, the interest was there [from PSG].&nbsp;But I am still with Milan.&nbsp;I still play in the San Siro, a world class stadium.&nbsp;In this country with these crazy fans."

Edwin van der Sar has distanced himself from speculation that he could take up a director of football role at Manchester United. The Premier League side are apparently looking to recruit a new member of staff to oversee their transfer activity following a disappointing summer transfer window. Van der Sar, though, has insisted he is happy at Ajax and insisted that talk of him returning to Old Trafford is "nonsense". <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/van-der-sar-distances-himself-from-man-utd-director-of/1q350w7dsmd5s1bo0ue96q2b2p" target="_blank">Check out the full story on Goal!</a>

The Blues have offloaded Bakayoko to the Serie A giants for the 2018-19 campaign after his disappointing first season in England.

Barcelona are tracking the progress of rising Flamengo star Lucas Paqueta, according to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/objetivo-lucas-paqueta-7026112" target="_blank">Sport</a>.

And after featuring in a charity match at Celtic Park, Agbonlahor said he would be happy to wear the hoops full time. "I think every player if they had the chance to play for Celtic would take it,” he told <a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/16790868.former-villa-striker-gabby-agbonlahor-tells-celtic-to-come-and-get-him/" target="_blank">The Herald</a>.
