<\/a>Liverpool and Tottenham join Carlos Baleba race<\/p>\n

Liverpool and Tottenham have joined Manchester United in the race for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, according to Teamtalk. <\/p>\n

The two Premier League sides are believed to be the latest sides keeping tabs on the 22-year-old, who was heavily linked with a move to the Red Devils in the summer. <\/p>\n

However, a realistic move may need to wait until the summer, with the Seagulls unlikely to consider any offers below \u00a380m.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Arne Slot gives Hugo Ekitike injury update ahead of testing trip to Premier League leaders Arsenal<\/p>\n

Ekitike is Liverpool\u2019s top goalscorer this season but did not play against Fulham <\/a>on the weekend after feeling some discomfort in his hamstring.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not trained with us til now,\u201d Slot said on Wednesday morning. \u201cLet\u2019s see if he can today. I said, two or three days ago when we played Fulham, that he\u2019s not going to be out for long but, because game\u2019s come so fast, he\u2019s in between maybe training with the team or it may take him one or two days extra.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>‘I think it was’ Semenyo’s last game – Iraola<\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola appears to have resigned himself to Antoine Semenyo leaving, as he is expected to, for Manchester City.<\/p>\n

The Ghanaian scored the winner in Bournemouth\u2019s 3-2 win over Tottenham tonight.<\/p>\n

Iraola told BBC Match of the Day afterwards, when asked if it was Semenyo\u2019s last game: \u201cI think it was, unluckily for us I think it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been if not the best, one of the best I have coached. He has improved every single season. He has scored 10 goals in half a season and not even a number nine. It is not just the numbers but a lot of things – the physicality, the balls in the air and the defensive things. He will be a big miss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta<\/a> has confirmed Arsenal<\/a>\u2019s defensive options will remain limited for Thursday\u2019s test of Liverpool<\/a> with Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori still ruled out.<\/p>\n

Mosquera picked up an ankle injury in December that Arteta said would keep the Colombian out for \u201cweeks\u201d, while Calafiori sustained a \u201cvery awkward\u201d injury in the build-up to the visit of Brighton.<\/p>\n

Neither were expected to feature against Liverpool but Arteta did note that the pair are closing in on a return, should nothing go wrong in their final stage of rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has distanced himself from suggestions he could leave St James\u2019 Park, highlighting his \u201c100 per cent\u201d commitment to the Magpies.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing has changed from my perspective,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 100 per cent here, working as hard as I can, head down, ignoring all the stuff that you guys write good or bad because it\u2019s irrelevant.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about today\u2019s work and trying to prepare the team as well as we can for Leeds, so that will never change from my perspective, my commitment to my work and my job.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as I\u2019m happy and able to express myself in the best way that I can to help the team, nothing will change.\u201d<\/p>\n
