Arsenal Set To Sign Barcelona’s Director Of Football

Arsenal are reportedly to be a step closer to bringing in Barcelona director of football Raul Sanllehi on Monday night when he finally walked away from the Catalan club after 15 years service.

Sanllehi was due to leave Barcelona on Friday but he signed off on Monday and is now expected to move in at the Emirates as part of the rebuilding taking place around Arsenal’s manager, Arsene Wenger.

Sven Mislintat was brought in from Borussia Dortmund as the club’s new head of recruitment last week and the experienced and respected Sanllehi could now start work alongside Mislintat as early as December.

The 48-year-old has served under three different Barcelona presidents and was instrumental in major signings such as Luis Suarez and Neymar, ensuring the Brazilian moved to the Nou Camp instead of going to Real Madrid in 2011.

Sanllehi is expected to be tasked with bringing the club’s top targets to the Emirates.
The move follows Dick Law’s resignation from his position as Arsenal’s main transfer negotiator in September.

Law struggled in his attempts to secure Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez to new terms. Their contracts, which will expire next summer will be among the first things on Sanllehi’s agenda at his new club.

Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made Egypt’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah an honorary citizen of the southern Russian region at a farewell banquet held for the eliminated World Cup side.

Sarah’s goalscoring exploits for Liverpool and Egypt have made him an international superstar. “Mohamed Salah is an honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. “Yes, that’s right!

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

Oil prices rose, Tuesday on uncertainty over Libyan oil exports, although plans by producer cartel OPEC to raise output loom. Brent sweet crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at 74.95 dollars per barrel at 01.04 GMT, up 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent from their last close. The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent.
