Plenty of news today, including some interesting developments on the transfer front. Media reports suggest that Mirassol youngster Luis Gustavo Conte will fly in to London next week for talks about joining the club. Conte is only 14 but the Brazilian market is not one left untapped by the Gunners, with the likes of Pedro Botelho, Denilson and Paulinho all recruited in the past.
In other news, Sevilla’s 21 year-old centre-back Federico Fazio has been linked to Arsenal by the Daily Mirror. He certainly seems a promising prospect and with mild rumours that Kolo Toure could be out of the club, this may be a possibility.
Jack Wilshere became the youngest player ever to represent Arsenal in the Champions League last night. Fran Merida, Jay Simpson and Gavin Hoyte were all un-used substitutes.
In Loanees news, Nacer Barazite completed 90 minutes on the right-wing last night as Derby came from behind to draw 2-2 with Preston in the Championship. Rob Hulse put the Rams in front, before Callum Davidson and Neil Mellor goals put the visitors in front. Derby salvaged a point thanks to a superb strike from Jordan Stewart.
Abu Ogogo made his third appearance for Barnet as the Bees were held to a 0-0 draw away to Port Vale in League Two. Barnet are currently 20th in the table.
Kerrea Gilbert didn’t feature for Leicester last night.

Fazio has agreed a one year extension to his Sevilla contract.We are tracking Adria Carmona and Ruben Rochina though from Barca’s academy.

We are looking for the pedigree. If he has the ability lets sign him. We may even sign them younger in the future.
