#5 Wenger spills the beans

Arsene Wenger announced his resignation from Arsenal a few days ago. He is set to leave the club at the end of the season but he was quoted as saying by BBC that the timing of his departure "was not really my decision."

He also added that he holds a former Barcelona manager in very high regard: "I don't want to influence the next manager, but of course I have a high opinion of Luis Enrique."

#4 Another RB Leipzig player wants to join Liverpool

Another Leipzig player wants to make the switch, later in his career

As if one RB Leipzig player joining the club wasn’t enough, 23-year-old forward Yussuf Poulsen was quoted as saying by TeamTalk that he would like to play for Liverpool someday.

"I would try it sometime in another league. But, whether that is 2021 or 2025 - no idea. The Premier League would generally interest me. That would fit well with my game. As a kid, I 'kept' [supporting] Liverpool. My best friend was a fan of the club - and then you are somewhere, too. In Denmark, there was no other foreign league on TV."

#3 Update on Koulibaly

Meanwhile - according to Mirror - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is looking at Brazilian U20 star Lucas Halter as a potential defensive target for the club. The youngster is also attracting interest from Atletico Madrid, if reports are to be believed.

#2 Arsenal

So 101GreatGoals believe that Arsenal are looking at Sporting Lisbon defender Cristiano Piccini as a right-back cover to Hector Bellerín - who is continually being linked with a lucrative move away from the north London side.

As well as this, Andres Iniesta has announced that he will leave Barcelona in the summer and while China was the touted destination for the Spaniard, Pep could apparently entice him to Manchester City - according to AS.

#1 Rumour of the day

Paris Saint-Germain v RSC Anderlecht - UEFA Champions League
Neymar to leave PSG?

In what appears to be a rehash of what they had reported earlier, Don Balon believe that Neymar is tired of waiting for Real Madrid, who are doubtful about signing the Brazilian after Cristiano Ronaldo's upturn in form to start 2018.

As a result, Neymar, who is reportedly desperate to leave Paris Saint-Germain, will join another club who are highly interested in him: Manchester United. The Red Devils are willing to pay £400m for the Brazilian star, as they need a leader in attack.
