Albert Riera has indicated that he wants to leave Liverpool after revealing that his relationship with Rafael Benítez has deteriorated to the point where he thinks the manager has something against him.

In an outspoken attack on Benítez, Riera said the manager "turns a deaf ear" to his players and described Liverpool as a "sinking ship". He also questioned whether his fellow Spaniard was suited to the Real Madrid job because his style of football is not attractive enough.

Riera has played only twice for Liverpool since the end of January, making one start and one substitute's appearance in the Europa League, and the midfielder is giving serious consideration to asking for a transfer in an effort to earn a place in Spain's World Cup squad.

Mario Balotelli still has a future at Inter Milan according to president Massimo Moratti.

The 19-year old, who has become a serious target for Arsenal, was left out of Inter’s squad for the Champions League clash with Chelsea on Tuesday as the result of a reported row with manager Jose Mourinho but Moratti confirms he is still a required play for the Nerazzurri.

“Mourinho made the right decision and if he made the right decision it means that the others aren't doing their best for the club," he told Inter's official website.

"Balotelli has the talent and ability to be a serious professional. He will show us this and then we will all be at peace again."

Young Arsenal left-back Armand Traore has spoken about his desire to one day play for Paris St Germain, although he is keen to stay in England for now.

The 20 year-old has found himself as first-choice understudy to fellow Frenchman Gael Clichy at Arsenal, with Kieran Gibbs having suffered a long-term injury. As a result, Traore has made 8 Premier League appearances for the Gunners so far this season.

Traore moved to Arsenal from Monaco in 2006 and has told the publication Le Parisien that he wants to move back to France and specifically to the club of his dreams, Paris St Germain.

He said, "PSG will always be PSG… They are a great club which made a whole generation of people dream during the years 1990-2000.

Lazio’s highly-rated keeper Fernando Muslera has spoken of his pride at being flatteringly linked with a possible move to Arsenal this summer.

The North London club are understood to be monitoring the Uruguayan shot stopper as Arsene Wenger looks to bolster his goalkeeping options.

The 23-year-old joined Lazio in 2007 and his performances as the Italian club’s undisputed number one have led to interest from the Premier League, notably Arsenal.

Wenger is said to be keen and Muslera who admits he is pleased and flattered to on the radar of one of England’s top clubs.

“It is important that a Premier League club like Arsenal have been monitoring my progress and it motivates me to play even better,” he said.

Muslera, who will be going to the World Cup with Uruguay this summer, is reportedly close to agreeing a new four-year deal with Lazio, but might be tempted otherwise if interest from abroad becomes more serious. (Give Me Football – Official PFA Website)

The Mirror says Arsenal are set for contract talks with Gallas, 32, after Wenger hinted that the club may be ready to bend their rules and offer him a two-year extension.

Arsenal are looking to sign exciting Ajax teenager Christian Eriksen but Arsene Wenger may have to be patience to get his man.

The Gunners boss has heard nothing but good things about the 18-year-old attacking midfielder who recently made his full debut for Denmark as a substitute in the 2-1 friendly defeat to Austria.

One of Eriksen's admirers is ex-Arsenal favourite Dennis Bergkamp, who also happens to be Ajax's youth team coach.

Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole is a summer transfer target for Real Madrid, according to reports in this morning's newspapers.

Felipe Melo set for Arsenal move after new problems surface at Juventus
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is preparing a cut-price move for Felipe Melo after the midfielder suffered another setback in his Juventus career.

The Brazilian has failed to settle in Turin since joining from Serie A rivals Fiorentina last summer, and looks set to leave this year after a spat with fans at the weekend.

Melo was involved in an altercation with supporters during their 3-3 draw with Siena - the latest incident leading to an erosion of support for him at Juve.

In an apology on the club's website, Melo wrote: 'I said something I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry about my behaviour.

'I know every Juventus' fan supports us, even if there's a minority that sometimes whistles and criticises us during the match.

'My team-mates and I need to feel the whole stadium's support.

'I wanted to ask people in the curved [vocal] sector [of the stadium] to support us, but a part of them were not doing so.'

Given the playmaker's problems, Juventus are unlikely to be able to recoup the full £21 million fee they paid, thus alerting Wenger - who always has an eye for a good deal.

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has handed Arsene Wenger a boost by returning to full training yesterday.

The Spanish midfielder had been sidelined with a hamstring injury and has missed Arsenal's last two games but now appears set to return for Saturday's clash with West Ham at the Emirates Stadium.

Fabregas has been in sensational form for Arsenal this season, having scored 17 goals and contributed 12 assists in 32 games for the Gunners. His performances will likely be crucial for Wenger's side during the Premier League run-in.

Fellow midfielder Tomas Rosicky is also set to return from injury and will be in contention for Saturday's game and Alex Song will also be available for selection following suspension.
