Chateauroux, the new Henry? Torres favours Arsenal over Man Utd

Chateauroux: Arsenal have signed ‘new Henry’

French prodigy Gilles Sunu will join Arsenal when he turns 16 next month from tiny Chateauroux, whose vice chairman Patrick Trotignon said: “He plays as an out-and-out striker like Thierry Henry, but he also can play in midfield.

“Gilles is lightning quick and he has great technical skills. But the key is that he is very intelligent, older than his years.”

Barcelona has cash to sign Man Utd’s Ronaldo – Soriano

“It is a technical question, that must be decided by the coaches and technical staff. If they want him, our financial availability means Barca can sign anyone, with the only limit being common sense,” said Soriano when asked if Barca can afford to meet United’s reported £45 million asking price for the Portuguese.

Meanwhile, Soriano also denied reports yesterday that Barca had been offered Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard through intermediaries.

Atletico Madrid’s Torres favours Arsenal over Man Utd 

The Mirror says Torres has also been a target for Chelsea and Newcastle but privately believes Arsenal are the only English club which will suit his playing style.

He said: “I think the top English league would be well suited for my game, and maybe that is why there has been a lot of talk. “Maybe this game is a chance for me to show what I am capable of. It will be a very good test for me against England.”

Bayern Munich deny talks with Chelsea’s Mourinho, Houllier  

Lyon coach Gerard Houllier has also been mentioned as a target in the German media. However, Bayern underlined the fact they have not spoken to any manager whatsoever and will only address the issue as and when it becomes necessary to do so.

Last week, Ottmar Hitzfeld took over as coach from Felix Magath until the end of the season, but on his official presentation on Thursday, there were more than a few hints his employment could continue beyond the summer.

A 3-0 defeat to Nurnberg on Friday night merely fuelled further conjecture. “We can state with all certainty that, as of today’s date (Monday), no coach has been contacted or any talks in this respect have been held,” said a press release signed by the club’s board. “All the names and speculation circulating at the moment have no grounds whatsoever.”

Austria Vienna keen to take back Rangers pair Sebo, Papac

Paul Le Guen spent a combined sum of £2.4m on the pair after spending last summer vying with the Austrians to let the players leave. Both players have failed to live up to their price tags and have been unable to impose themselves on the SPL.

Markus Kraetschmer, the Vienna general manager, said: “They are players we would be interested in. But they went to Rangers for a lot of money and their prices would have to come down a lot if they were to return to Austria Vienna. Rangers signed good quality players from us, but then the manager was fired, and we read with some interest that Filip Sebo and Sasa have been flops.

“We feared it would be the end for these players knowing Le Guen had gone.
“I am surprised they have not done better, but maybe the new coach doesn’t play the right system for them.”
