Ox rejects Chelsea move

Image
Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has turned down a chance to move to Chelsea and would prefer to move to Liverpool or stay at the Emirates, according to a BBC report. Oxlade-Chamberlain, 24, was the subject of a bid from Chelsea on Monday, with an ESPN FC source confirming that a fee had been agreed to bring the attacking midfielder and wing-back to Stamford Bridge. However, the BBC reported on Tuesday night that the England international has rejected a £40 million move to join Antonio Conte's team because he wants to be used a central midfielder and not at wing-back, where he believes Chelsea envision using him. In another revelation from the report, Oxlade-Chamberlain would apparently prefer a move to Liverpool over Chelsea in order to get his chance to play in his preferred role, with Jurgen Klopp's team expected to make a bid before Thursday's end to the summer window.

Arsenal reject Alexis Sanchez bid

Image
Arsenal have turned down a massive £50m offer from Manchester City for Alexis Sanchez, but the Gunners remain unchanged on their position that the Chilean is not for sale. Arsenal risk losing the former Barcelona star on a free transfer next summer, but £50m is not enough, neither is Raheem Sterling and £30m. With less than 48 hours until the deadline, the Gunners face the very real prospect of losing Sanchez for free in 2018. The Mirror, as well as the BBC's David Ornstein, believe only huge money, or perhaps a player in exchange, can persuade the Gunners into a sale, with £70m floated as the figure that would be appropriate to sell at. The whispers of discontent are crescendoing into a dull roar at the Emirates, if the Telegraph is to be believed. The paper reports that the "majority of the first-team squad have now had enough of Sanchez and the saga regarding his future.

Cardi B explains why she 'drugged and robbed' men

Image
Cardi B has defended herself after a video resurfaced of her saying she drugged and robbed men who wanted to have sex with her while she worked as a stripper before finding fame. The rapper faced criticism after the three-year-old Instagram live video recirculated on social media. "Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive," she wrote on Tuesday. "I never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world." The original video was made as her career was starting to take off and was her response to someone who said she didn't deserve success because she hadn't put in any work. "Nothing was handed to me. Nothing," she said in the video, before going on to reveal that she would invite men to a hotel before drugging and robbing them. In response to the furore, she wrote on Instagram that she had been talking "about things in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living...

Nigeria hunger crises can kill 200 children per day.

  Two hundred children could die each day from hunger in northeastern Nigeria as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country, a humanitarian agency has warned. Up to half of all children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, international charity Save the Children said on Monday, after screening the health of boys and girls in the region between June and October in 2016. The figure could be even worse in areas that are out of reach because of insecurity, according to the report. Children are presenting in desperate conditions and facing severe malnutrition, often in combination with other life-threatening illnesses like pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea," said Ben Foot, Save the Children country director. "For some cases this may be the second or third time they have fought malnutrition so their immune systems are already severely weakened." Violent attacks on civilians since 2009 by the armed group Boko H...
