 Landry Dimata

ARSENAL have reportedly missed out on signing Belgian forward Landry Dimata.

Wolfsburg have confirmed Dimata has joined them on a five-year deal for around £8.8million (10m euros) from KV Oostende.

The Bundesliga club's sporting director Olaf Rebbe said: "He is a young, flexible forward whose progress we have been following closely for some time. So we're delighted that the transfer worked out."
Dimata added: "At Wolfsburg I will be playing with many top players, of whom I can still learn a lot. This will be a big challenge, which I am incredibly looking forward to."
Last season Dimata scored 11 goals in 24 league games for Oostende after joining from Standard Liege last summer.

Arsenal have been linked with a number of strikers including Kylian Mbappe, Alexandre Lacazette and Henry Onyekuru.
The interest from the Hammers comes as manager Slaven Bilic looks to add firepower to an under-performing front line.

Why this "Future of Arsenal" picture from 2012 may now reduce Gunners' fans to tears The once-celebrated "British core" of the Gunners has now been ripped out following a couple of departures close to the transfer deadline, so this image now looks awkward. They were the much-celebrated "British core" of Arsenal , and the players who would definitely carry the Gunners to glory. Five years later, those dreams lie in tatters. This December 2012 picture of Carl Jenkinson, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has understandably been on the minds of Arsenal fans this week, as Gibbs and Oxlade-Chamberlain have departed for pastures new and the club continues to tear itself apart from the inside.

Cristiano Ronaldo returns as Real Madrid pursue another UCL title Real Madrid will begin their attempt to become the first club in more than four decades to win three consecutive Champions League trophies when they host Apoel Nicosia at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. No team has won Europe's top club competition in three consecutive years since Bayern Munich lifted the trophy, then known as the European Cup, in 1974, 1975 and 1976. Madrid became the first repeat winner in the Champions League era, which began in 1992-93, when they defeated Juventus in the final in June. This will be Madrid's 21st consecutive appearance in the Champions League -- the longest run of any club -- and their 22nd overall.
