No Arsenal deal for Perez.

Atletico Nacional have announced that Sebastian Perez will not be joining Arsenal following a recent trial with the Gunners.

Colombian midfielder Perez, 20, has spent some time with Arsenal this summer and played in their 3-1 pre-season friendly victory over Manchester City at the weekend.
However, he has not been granted a work permit and his club have confirmed that there will be no move to Emirates Stadium.
Asked about Perez's work permit situation, Atletico Nacional director Victor Marulanda is quoted as telling winsports.co: "We already knew that and were waiting for the response, but that wasn't possible and the player will keep working with us.
"The possibility of joining Arsenal has been ruled out."

Redknapp holds Parker hope.

Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp remains optimistic regarding his chances of landing Scott Parker from Tottenham Hotspur.

The 32-year-old midfielder has slipped down the pecking order at White Hart Lane following the summer arrivals of Paulinho and Nacer Chadli.
Former Spurs boss Redknapp hopes he can tempt Parker to Loftus Road and throw him into a Championship promotion push.
Reports have claimed that the England international underwent a medical at QPR on Tuesday and that a deal is close to being completed.
There remains a chance that a late bid from a rival could leave Redknapp empty-handed, with Fulham and Crystal Palace among those reported to be plotting a raid for Parker, but the R's are confident they will get their man.
