Jordi Osei-Tutu: After Hector Bellerin’s injury, Unai Emery pulled the plug on the promising Arsenal right back moving.

The promising youngster was eyed up by clubs in Germany, France and the MLS in the January transfer window, but the Gunners aren’t interested in releasing their defensive starlet.

AFTER years of under-performing, Arsenal’s academy is producing some seriously good talent.

And it seems a golden generation could soon be celebrated by the club’s fans.
Emile Smith Rowe, Joe Willock and Eddie Nketiah have already made their mark for the senior team.

But scouts from other clubs are flocking to Arsenal’s under-23s games to watch Xavier Amaechi, Tyreece John-Jules and also Jordi Osei-Tutu, and there is some real excitement around the club.

Right-back Osei-Tutu is a regular for the under-23s and was wanted in the January transfer window by clubs in Germany, France and also MLS in the United States for a loan move.

Due to Hector Bellerin’s injury, Unai Emery put a block on any switch even though he has yet to feature for the senior team.

Osei-Tutu, 20, moved to Arsenal in 2015 after being signed from Reading’s academy for a fee of around £100,000.

Willian believes his team-mate, Eden Hazard, will stay in Chelsea even after this season, despite continuing interest from Real Madrid to transfer Belgian.

The Belgian star has been linked to a transfer to the Spanish capital continuously over the past few years. Even in October, Hazard had admitted that he dreams of playing for “Los Blancos” one day.

Real Madrid has intensified interest in Hazard this week after Zinedine Zidane returned to the position of coach. On Wednesday it was reported that Real Madrid had contacted Chelsea to announce this interest.

Before Thursday’s European league game, against Dynamo Kyiv, Chelsea winger Willian, was asked by reporters if he is worried about a possible Hazard’s departure this summer.

The Brazilian responded praising his teammate for his unique field skills before insisting that Belgium never spoke about the possibility of transferring to Real Madrid.

“It’s a difficult question. First of all, I hope he will stay with us. But in football you can never predict what will happen, “Willian said.

“Of course, Eden is a fantastic player, one of the best in the world. He is my friend, one of the best players I’ve played in all of my career. I just have to say that I hope he will stay with me. ”

“I have no doubt he is focused here. Of course, he wants to play, wants to help us win something this season. He has never said anything about Real Madrid or anything else. He just wants to continue playing for Chelsea. “

With the arrival of Zizus, the smile returned to Isco Alarcon, who can now breathe more freely after a few difficult months with Solari.

“The very return of his own at this complicated moment reveals much about Zidane’s values. That action says everything about it. Zidane loves Real Madrid and hope to help us return to our journey of triumphs and victories, “Isco said.

Center-back Gerard Pique has praised Lionel Messi after impressive appearances in Barcelona’s 5-1 victory over Lyon in the Champions League

After the unbeaten draw in the first leg, within the 1/8 of the Champions League final, there was uncertainty about Barcelona’s position in this competition, especially at the moment when, last night, Lucas Tousard scored a goal and scored 2 1.

At that point, even one goal would have been enough for Lyon to qualify in the quarterfinals because of the superiority of goals scored as a guest. But Barcelona, ??especially Messi, raised the level in the last 12 minutes of the match.

The Argentine star scored his first goal from the penalty spot, before assisting Piques and Ousmane Dembele goals. Messi also scored his second goal in the match.

Barcelona will now face the quarterfinals with one of the following clubs: Manchester City, Ajax, Tottenham, Manchester United, Porto, Juventus and Liverpool.

“Big stars need behind themselves to have wonderful teams that help them. It is historically proven that a player can not win a big single race, “Pique said.

“Of course, when you have a player like Messi in the squad, then the club rises to another level. When suspicious, as was the case against Lyon, they appear and give tranquility to move forward. “
