Arsenal hold Gustavo talks.

Arsenal are in talks with Bayern Munich over midfielder Luiz Gustavo, although the Brazilian is interesting a number of clubs.

Talks are ongoing between Arsenal and the German giants over a potential deal for the midfielder.
A deal of £15million is being reported and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger confirmed over the weekend talks were ongoing.
It has been claimed that a deal was close, but Bayern's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says Gustavo has a number of different options and he had not yet decided on his destination.
"Luiz has offers from England, Spain, Russia and Germany. The player has not made a decision, yet," he is quoted by Abendzeitung Muenchen.
Reports in Italy also claimed that Napoli could be ready to join the hunt for the 26-year-old.

Celtic warned over Finnbogasan.

 Celtic have been warned it will take a big fee to persuade Heerenveen to sell Alfred Finnbogason.

Scottish champions Celtic are thought to be weighing up a move for Finnbogason as they look to bring in a striker to help fill the void left by Gary Hooper's departure to Norwich.
Celtic are thought to have watched Finnbogason score in Heerenveen's 2-0 win over NAC Breda on Saturday, while a number of other clubs are also thought to be keeping tabs on the Icelandic international.
Heerenveen sporting director Gaston Sporre admits they will listen to offers for Finnbogason, but that it would have to be a big fee to sell him.
"He's good for at least 20 goals a season for us and we won't sell him for a reduced fee," said Sporre.
"If we get a concrete offer for him we will negotiate, but our aim is to keep him here at Heerenveen. He hasn't told us he is unhappy or asked for a transfer. We will wait and see."
Heereveen coach Marco van Basten also claimed it would take a lot of money to prise Finnbogason away from the club.
