Arsenal and Liverpool in serious fight over the signing of top German Star
Arsenal and their Premier League rivals Liverpool are reportedly ready to battle it out for the signing of Paris-Saint-Germain winger Julian Draxier. The Gunners and the Reds are said to be monitoring the German star who has found it hard this season for regular starts at the French club. And according to the report by UK Sun, these two Premier League clubs will go head to head in January 2018 for the signature of the 24-year-old winger. Draxler is regarded as one of the best wide players in Europe and has lived up to that billing since swapping Wolfsburg for PSG.

million)

Lionel Messi says Barcelona are better without Neymar
Argentine maestro Lionel Messi believes Barcelona do not miss Brazil superstar Neymar after his world record move to French side Paris Saint Germain. The Argentine star, who just signed a new deal at Barca, told Marca: “Neymar's departure has caused the way we play to change. “We lost a great deal of offensive potential but it favoured us in a defensive sense. “Currently we are most well-armed in the middle of the field, we have more balance and that makes us stronger defensively.” Ousmane Dembele, who was brought in to replace Neymar, has spent most of the season on the sidelines because of injury. The former Borussia Dortmund man is widely regarded as a star of the future and should give the side a major boost when he returns. Messi and his team-mates are yet to lose a league fixture and have only conceded four goals and the 0-0 draw in Turin against Juventus ensured qualification for the next round of the Champions League.
