[ad_1] Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo appeared to urge the club to sell him in a social media post on Friday night, only hours after Arsenal had a £60m bid rejected. The Seagulls, who are sixth in the Premier League, have no interest in selling Caicedo this month and 90min has reported they are not looking to entertain further bids.

[ad_1] Wolves are finally set to conclude the signing of Joao Gomes after winning their stand-off with Flamengo, sources have confirmed to 90min. 90min revealed earlier in January that Wolves had agreed terms with Flamengo, but at the point of exchanging contracts the Brazilian club did not return documents at their end.

However, despite Lyon’s determination to persuade Gomes otherwise, the player refused to move to France. Instead, he insisted he wantedRead More →

[ad_1] In a season where Arsenal are sat at the top of the Premier League table and look on course to win a first Premier League title since 2003/04, there is a lot of reminiscing over the Invincibles going on.

On this edition of TCOAG, Harry Symeou is joined by Arsenal presenter Nicole Holliday to preview Man City vs ArsenalRead More →

[ad_1] Arsenal have reached an agreement in principle with Gabriel Martinelli over his proposed new contract. 90min had already confirmed shortly before Christmas that the Brazilian’s new deal was close to being finalised. Terms were broadly agreed in December on a new contract with Martinelli that will extend his stay at Arsenal until the summer of 2027. His existing deal is due to expire in 2024. 90min understands that while agreed by all parties, Martinelli is yet to actually sign the contract.

[ad_1] Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain will look to build on their 7-0 thumping of Pays de Cassel last time out with another victory over Stade Reims. Christophe Galtier went very strong for that game against the sixth-tier side and so will expect no drop-off in performance as they look to return to winning ways in the league. A run of two defeats in their last three games is about as bad as it gets for PSG, and the boss won’t allow that streak to continue. Here’s how he could set up. Expect Messi to return / Yasser Bakhsh/GettyImages GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma – Having firmlyRead More →
