Pennant completes Zaragoza move

Real Zaragoza have completed the signing of Jermaine Pennant after his release by Liverpool.

The former Arsenal youngster passed a medical with the Spanish outfit on Thursday and will join their bid for survival next season after being promoted back to the Primera Division.

The 26-year-old becomes Zaragoza's first signing of the summer and joins for nothing on a three-year deal.

Barcelona have made a bid for David Villa in the region of €45m. The news was confirmed by club president Joan Laporta who also revealed interest in Bayern Munich’s Franck Ribery.

Middlesbrough’s Adam Johnson has once again been linked with a surprising move away from the Riverside with Chelsea the latest big club eyeing the under-21 international.

Steve Bruce is hoping his old boss Sir Alex Ferguson will sell coveted striker Fraizer Campbell to Sunderland despite Hull City tabling a £6m bid.

AC Milan are weighing up a move for Sevilla’s Luis Fabiano and could leave the coast clear for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to join AC Milan. With both parties satisfied it appears Arsenal’s Emmanuel Adebayor will stay at the Emirates.

Chelsea claim that John Terry is not for sale but rumours persist claiming showdown talks between the player and owner Roman Abramovich are planned for next week. Joe Cole meanwhile will sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge despite the arrival of Russian international wideman Yuri Zhirkov.

Reports in Italy claim that Sir Alex Ferguson and Rafael Benitez will go head-to-head for the signature of Roma striker Mirko Vucinic. The Montenegrin international only signed a new deal last month but could be sold to solved the Italian side’s financial woes.

Reports in Argentina also claim that Arsenal could make a move for Valencia holding midfielder Ever Banega after the player made it clear he wanted to leave the Mestalla.

Cristiano Ronaldo has welcomed David Trezeguet to Real Madrid and claimed it will be ‘fun’ playing alongside the French international. The pair along with Kaka and Raul Albiol have been the Bernabeu’s four main acquisitions this summer.

David Villa is moving to Liverpool..

Liverpool have a secret stash, trust me. :cheer2:

Rosicky Targets Autumn Return!

Arsenal's Tomas Rosicky, who has been out of action since January 2008, claims to be making good progress after his injury nightmare.

The 28-year-old Czech midfielder has been sidelined for nearly 18 months by a combination of hamstring and knee injuries, which have proved hard to treat.

Rosicky resumed light training with Arsenal in May and is hopeful of returning to first-team action during the opening stages of the new campaign.

"I think I will be back in the autumn." Rosicky told Czech newspaper Sport. "According to my fitness coach Tony Colbert I could have been playing at the end of the (last) season as he thought my fitness was okay.

"I think it was obvious from the training that I was ready to play, if not for 90 minutes.

"But the club decided not to play me. They saw that I was okay, but maybe they just did not want to take the gamble.

"Until I play in a league match I will not be able to tell what my chances are, but when it comes to fitness alone I am in better shape than when I came to Arsenal."

Rosicky was just one of Arsenal's many high profile absentees last season and the Czech ace is confident that with a fully fit squad Arsenal will challenge for major honours next season.

He added: "I am missing the competition.

"Playing alongside Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott makes you feel comfortable and I think that I will quickly forget that I have been out for a while.

"Now that I have recovered, I am a new option for the manager.

"We have a strong team capable of moving mountains in all competitions."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter Milan)
Sir Alex Ferguson has earmarked forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic after missing out on several other targets, including Lyon's Karim Benzema, but United will have to throw plenty of cash at Inter for them to part with the Sweden international. But after signing Owen and Obertan, Fergie's giving us a new-look United next season. Could Ibramhimovic and Berbatov form the most disinterested strike pairing in football history? They'd hardly compliment each other!

Sebastien Bassong (Newcastle)
Talk about being kicked when you're down. As if Newcastle aren't facing enough problems already, defender Sebastien Bassong claims he is being tracked by Arsenal as well as other top flight clubs here and abroad. He could just be blowing his own trombone to drum up interest!

Great footy news Sir Ben. :dance:

Is 100% true.

Without injury we could do well.

Blaise Matuidi (St Etienne)

It's business as usual for the Gunners. Arsene Wenger is hoping to tie up a bid for St Etienne midfielder Blaise Matuidi, a double whammy of good news after Robin van Persie renewed his contract at the Emirates this week. And Matuidi would be great for those "Blaise of Glory" headlines, wouldn't he?

Tuncay (Middlesborough)
We're not calling Aston Villa vultures or anything, but trying to nab two players from relegated Middlesborough is a bit much. The club seem to be putting their £12m pay-packet for Gareth Barry to good use though, as they try to entice Stewart Downing and Tuncay to Villa Park for around £18m.


Good idea Arsenal & Villa.

Get the stars form the relegated teams on the cheap.

Arsenal's Felipe Melo move back on as Juventus' bid for the Brazilian hits the buffers

Arsenal have been handed a lifeline in their pursuit of Brazil midfielder Felipe Melo.

Juventus thought they had virtually sewn up a deal for the 26-year-old after a cash-plus-player bid met the value of the £21.5million release clause written into the new contract he signed just last week.

However, Marco Marchionni, Juve's 28-year-old Italy right winger, has rejected terms to go in the opposite direction.


Marchionni says he has his heart set on a move but he won't be pushed into accepting a contract he finds unacceptable, leaving Juve with the dilemma of returning with a cash-only bid or hoping that their winger can reach a compromise.

'Fiorentina are my first choice, we are just waiting that a few details are resolved,' said Marchionni.

'I will run to Florence in order to marry Fiorentina's project. It's a big chance for me and they are a big club with ambition. I am enthusiastic about wearing the Viola jersey.'

Sportsmail understands Melo will give Arsenal every opportunity to match the offer by refusing to cut his vacation short and rush through a transfer.

The Barclays Premier League club are likely to have until Friday to improve their offer of £5m plus Emmanuel Eboue and Philippe Senderos.

Combative midfielder Melo is relaxing in Rio de Janeiro after being part of Brazil's Confederations Cup-winning team in South Africa last month.

Fiorentina are understood to prefer a deal with Arsenal because of a bitter rivalry with Juve that has seen fans protest at the possible sale of Melo to the Old Lady.

Arsenal board are stupid to reject the offer of money for transfers from Usmanov!
