Roma to complete Ghilardi signing before adding new winger

The negotiation is now in its final stages and the formal closure is scheduled for today: the basis of the agreement is around 10-11 million euros with add-ons. With Ghilardi ready to land in the capital, he will be the numerical substitute for Hummels in the defensive department. After his signing, Massara will focus on the hunt for a right-footed offensive winger who plays on the left, as expressly requested by Gasperini.

'The players are very excited' - Arteta on Gyokeres arrival

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says it "has been a long journey" to sign striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon but everyone is now "very excited" that he is here. The 27-year-old was unveiled before the Gunners 3-2 win over Newcastle in Singapore, having gone straight from the airport to the stadium. As he has not yet trained with his new team-mates, and has not properly trained since Sporting won the Primeira Liga title in May, Arteta is yet to confirm whether the striker will be available for their game against Tottenham in Hong Kong on Thursday. "We are super happy to have Viktor with us," said Arteta. "It's been a long journey to get him over here. "He's been incredible. He was very clear from the beginning where he wanted to play and that passion I felt from him from day one when we first spoke. "You can see the boys [are] very excited with his arrival. "I don't think he has had a single training session with the team since the last game with Sporting when they became champions. So we will assess him. "He's done all the medicals and everything is looking good, but getting him up to speed with the right levels of fitness is very important. "So we're not going to stop him. We want him with us as quick as possible, but we'll have to assess and the medical team will do that."
