Today’s top stories:
Chelsea updates on Andrey Santos and Joao Felix
The TRUTH about Lionel Messi’s future
Plus updates from Man Utd, Southampton and more
Arsenal
Mikel Arteta: “Jorginho produced an incredible moment. For us it will be Jorginho’s goal. Psychologically it was really tough to get that result against Manchester City and then less than three days later we come to Aston Villa and win, which is a difficult thing to do.
“We showed character, quality and had the right temperament and personality. We didn’t throw our toys away. Emotionally I think we coped really well.”
Barcelona
Xavi on Raphinha: “I’m the one who has trusted him the most. He’s the player with the most assists of the team. He scores, in the 1v1 he’s daring more… he’s extraordinary. When there was criticism, I had no doubt that Raphinha was going to succeed here.”
Barcelona were close to signing Joao Felix just over a year ago, only for the deal to collapse due to Financial Fair Play issues (AS)
