Joel! (Joel). Always the best guy in gooooooaal! You've got the power to know. You're indestructible! Always believe in … believe in Joel (Joel!). So say Seville about Everton reserve keeper Joel Robles, who, try as he might, can't think of a way to wrestle the No1 shirt off Tim Howard. The Spanish club are prepared to stump up the £3m gold ones that Everton paid for the 23-year-old last summer. Joel! (Joel). Always the best guy in gooooooaal! You've got the power to know.

In news that concerns slightly more than a reserve goalkeeper, Arsenal are targeting Real Madrid's Casemiro. Arsène Wenger is said to have been monitoring the Brazilian midfielder for a few weeks, and appears to have been seduced by the fact that the 22-year-old apparently has a poor work ethic in training (gulp!) and was sold from São Paolo because ex-Arsenal flopper Denilson took his place (double gulp!). But remember, he is Brazilian.In news that concerns slightly more than a reserve goalkeeper, Arsenal are targeting Real Madrid's Casemiro.

Liverpool are about to drop a cool £20m on Fiorentina's Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, with Brendan Rodgers keen to do a deal in the worry that the Columbian might do that thing where he has a really good World Cup and then cost even more after. Helpfully, Arsenal and Tottenham are also in the hunt, and Liverpool would have to deal with both La Viola and Udinese, as the player is co-owned.Liverpool are about to drop a cool £20m on Fiorentina's Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, with Brendan Rodgers keen to do a deal in the worry that the Columbian might do that thing where he has a really good World Cup and then cost even more after.
