Apparently Roma received a telephone call from someone with an Oirish-like accent telling them if they called the deal off at this point there would be "Consequences"
I think it may have been Liam Neeson, from the new film ‘Not taken’….
‘ If you complete the deal now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you…..c.unts’.
According to @hlnsport, #Arsenal's opening offer for Albert Sambi Lokonga has been rejected by Anderlecht. https://t.co/qfdbcPM7o6
#Arsenal offered €15m with bonuses included but Anderlecht want a guaranteed amount of €20m. There is also interest from Germany & France. If there is a battle among the various candidates, the price will rise. https://t.co/FHopOtyzgD
As things stand Martin Odegaard expected to stay at Real Madrid
He was Arsenal’s priority No10 so likely they’ll need to focus on others
#AFC submit ~€15m offer for Anderlecht midfielder Lokonga
The Mail say #Arsenal have held positive talks with Brighton over their move for Ben White. https://t.co/x4JlRY9ww2
The England international centre back is understood to be keen on the move & Brighton will sell if their valuation of around £50m is met.
Our positive talks with Brighton were probably along the lines of "Hello, Brighton, isn't the weather lovely today. What a wonderful time to be alive. I really do love summer. Anyway, cheerio for now and do make sure you pop by for lunch if you're ever in the area."

Or:
"Hello Brighton. Looking 50 million huh? How about 12million?"

The Athletic understands Arsenal intend to make several significant additions to their first team squad during this window, with any resources allocated to squad-building likely to be supplemented by revenue from player sales. [@TheAthleticUK] #afc

Who needs a "war chest" when you can use the £12.75 you've scraped together from selling players nobody wants.
BBC Sport report #Arsenal have rejected Roma's €15m bid for midfielder Granit Xhaka. https://t.co/LYpwS0nxmO
The Italian side's bid fell short of #Arsenal's valuation of the 28-year-old. Roma manager Jose Mourinho is keen to take Xhaka to Serie A after being appointed last month. Roma are also interested in Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz https://t.co/PSkzag64dz

I love that phrase ''intend to." It means absolutely nothing. I could sit here and say I intend to have a nightly threesome with Helena Christensen and Heidi Klum but, realistically, it's probably not going to happen, is it?
BirminghamLive has been informed how Roma are now trying to strike a deal for Douglas Luiz. Roma are currently involved in a long-running transfer dispute surrounding Arsenal's Granit Xhaka, with Roma and still unable to agree a fee for Xhaka https://t.co/5IGg9iPuzA
