Bournemouth desperate to sell Arsenal loan flop Neto but keeper's huge salary is making it impossible
BOURNEMOUTH want to move out Brazilian keeper Neto but are being hindered by his massive wages. Neto has lost his place in the side and is back after a loan spell at Arsenal, with the Cherries desperate to lose his salary. 3 3 3 The South American veteran, 35, who has played for Barcelona and Valencia — still has 12 months left on his £5million-a-year deal. That makes him hard to shift unless the club sponsor another loan deal. Neto became surplus to requirements at Arsenal after they went big and signed former Chelsea man Kepa Arrizabalaga this summer. The Spanish goalkeeper was ironically the first choice at Bournemouth last season, where he impressed massively and nearly helped the Cherries qualify for European football. His form meant Arsenal were happy to spend £5million on him, as Bournemouth were just unable to match his wages. He's now taken Neto's place as Raya's back-up in Mikel Arteta's side as they go in search of a Premier League title next season. During his time at the Emirates, Neto only made one appearance for the Gunners, and with sweeping changes coming at the Emirates, he was one of the casualties. Bournemouth have now also decided they will have to move him on after signing agreeing a £25million deal with Chelsea to bring in Djordje Petrovic. They also have Mark Travers and Will Dennis as back-ups, which means they can afford to let 35-year-old Neto leave to save money. Bournemouth are determined to continue punching above their weight after fending off competition to keep striker Antoine Semenyo. Why Man City could be dumped out of the FA Cup by Bournemouth | Experts' best bets - Weekend Wager They have also shown they can buy big after signing French left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes for £14million. They finished last season ninth in the league table, just missing out on European football by the skin of their teeth. Andoni Iraola is determined to build on last season's strong finish, but first, he is looking to buy cleverly in the transfer window.

Wimbledon water bottles ‘used by players' on eBay for £300
Exclusive Evian water bottles that were 'used by Wimbledon players' are being sold on eBay for as much as £302. The large flip-top bottles, seen on court throughout the tournament, have become almost as memorable as the championships' brightly coloured towels. Unlike some of the other plastic and metal varieties, the official bottles are not purchased and are distributed directly to players, ballboys and girls, officials on court and accredited members of the press. Each player is handed three extra bottles for members of their support team. However, The Telegraph has found some of the bottles have been sold on auction site eBay for as much as £302. Another seller paired a bottle with one of the championship towels before successfully selling the lot for £175.19. Some buyers appeared to sell bottles that they claimed had been used by specific players – including one allegedly used by Jack Draper, British men's number one. The listing – which was sold for an unknown price – included images of the bottle with the player's name on it. However, while The Telegraph understands that player's names are included on players' bottles, it was unable to verify the claim the bottle belonged to Draper. Another was sold alongside the claim it was used by Italian Flavio Cobolli in the 23-year-old's quarter final against Novak Djokovic. As of this morning the bottle – which The Telegraph was unable to confirm was Cobolli's – was listed for £207.68 or the best offer. Another bottle – which the seller claimed had belonged to 24-Grand Slam title-holder Novak Djokovic – was sold for £302.19. All prices included fees charged by eBay. Other Wimbledon memorabilia sold on eBay included ballboy shorts for £52.72. Ball boys and girls working at Wimbledon earn around £200 for the fortnight in SW19 – but they also get to keep their kit. Another unexpected listing was a smaller type of Evian refillable water bottle for £16.32. The bottle was one of many on sale at the grounds for £5 across the tournament's first 10 days. Spectators could top them up at branded refill points. However, the water giant and headline sponsor for the tournament later ran short of supplies during the hot weather and withdrew the refill stations and bottles on Friday afternoon. At the time, an Evian spokesman said: 'This year marked the first year that Evian has been available to spectators via our refill system only. This unique system is pioneering and still new to our business. 'As a result, we've had to stop offering Evian [refills] earlier than planned.' Wimbledon fans attending this year have endured heatwave temperatures, which have risen above 30C on multiple days. The first day of the fortnight was the hottest start to the Championships on record – as temperatures in SW19 reached 32.3C. There is no suggestion that Djokovic, Cobolli or Draper have sold or are selling their bottles.
