Mikel Arteta Arsenal 'close in' on third summer signing ahead of Fabio Vieira transfer | sportyneawz

Sportyneawz-Arsenal is reportedly closing in on the signing of Bologna full-back Aaron Hickey. The Scotland international could become the Gunners' third signing of the summer, after Brazil youngster Marquinhos and Emirates-bound Fabio Vieira.

Marquinhos' arrival at Arsenal was confirmed by the club earlier this week. Meanwhile, Vieira is widely reported to have agreed to move to north London from Porto for an initial fee of £30 million.

Arsenal is in the market for a striker, with Gabriel Jesus their top target. But manager Mikel Arteta continues to add to other areas of the pitch and Hickey could be the next player through the door.

The Scotsman claims the Gunners are the likeliest destination for the 20-year-old. Arsenal will have to offer at least £18m for Hickey for Bologna to entertain a sale.

But the report expects a deal to be done, saying Arsenal is closing in on the signing. Bologna is already planning for life after Hickey and is said to be interested in another Scottish player in Josh Doig, who is currently at Hibernian.

Bologna sporting director Marco Di Vaio started this week Hickey would be allowed to leave but only at the right price. He said: "(Hickey) is one of those we could sacrifice, but if we don’t receive adequate offers, he’ll likely stay for another year. We have a good potential to do well and earn more than 50 points.

"We must be good at financing new signings and finding new players. If we make the right moves, we’ll be able to replace them and keep all the others.”

Hickey has spent the majority of his career at left-back. He would likely provide back-up initially to his international teammate Kieran Tierney, who continues to struggle with injury problems.

  • Winner of this all-important clash to qualify for World Cup 2022.
  • Australia aiming to reach a fifth consecutive World Cup.
  • Peru won the last, and the only, meeting between the two sides – at Russia 2018.
  • Kick-off is 9pm Doha time (18:00 GMT).

'Roger Federer had To Become The GOAT. I knew that,' ATP ace Slammed | sportyneawz

  'Roger Federer The GOAT Credit -  Tennis World USA Andre Agassi, an eight-time Major champion, had the opportunity to meet rising prodigy Roger Federer in Basel in 1998. The American won convincingly, but he was confident that Roger possessed special tennis knowledge and skills that would guide him to glory.  It was the third ATP tournament for the incredibly gifted adolescent, who arrived in Basel ranked 396th after reaching the first ATP quarter-final a week earlier in Toulouse. The draw in his hometown was brutal, pitting Federer against world no. 8 Andre Agassi, who was back on track after a slump in 1997.  To control the tempo, the more experienced opponent required only 1 hour to defeat the young junior 6-3, 6-2, delivering more wins and committing fewer errors. Agassi struggled to find the first serve (48%), but it had no effect on his game. He dropped 14 points in nine service games and broke Federer once out of two chances.  Roger never found his groo...
