Sportingo.com's Mark Apostolou brings more coverage of the Premier League's daily transfer rumours
and gossip. Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc has finally made his future intentions clear and will be
leaving the club in the summer (Glasgow Herald). The smart money is on the accomplished Polish

Levski Sofia forward Nikolay Dimitrov has long been rumored to be coming to the Emirates.

More of the latest news from the transfer rumours coming up in today's headlines. Arsenal are

gobbler is going to be the target of a January raid by Chelsea manager Avram Grant. Quite how the

Express) .
The first part of our joyous Christmas transfer rumours bundle... Arsene Wenger quite fancies a bit
of Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov, and isn't afraid to mount an audacious bid. Wenger said that
Berbatov's performance in the weekend's North London derby was excellent, and apparently this means
he'll fight tooth and nail to gobble him up in January.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is reluctant to splash out cash during the January transfer window.
The Gunners will be without first-choice center back Kolo Toure for large parts of January and
February due to the African Cup of Nations, and it was speculated that the Arsenal manager would
purchase a short-term replacement for the Ivorian in January.
Arsene Wenger has announced his intentions for the January transfer window, implying that the
Gunners' midfield lineup is adequate, but he would like to bolster Arsenal's defense.
The Gunners boss had early stated that he would not be looking for anyone during the transfer
season, saying: "I don't think I will get anybody in but if I get one opportunity in one area then
I will not neglect it.
I turned on the Middlesbrough-Arsenal game this morning and was disgusted by what I saw at
Riverside Stadium. I'm not talking about the quality of play; that was fine, and Middlesbrough
pulled a shocker in earning a 2-1 win over the previously unbeaten Gunners. I'm not talking about a
sloppy field or bad weather; the pitch was in good shape and it was a nice day by English
standards.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Newcastle, Everton, Sporting Lisbon and Eindhoven. It seems no
secret that Arsenal's recent signing Lassana Diarra is unhappy.
It's well known that legendary Premier League bosses like Sir Alex, Rafa Benitez, Jose Mourinho and
Arsene Wenger were average players at best and utter embarrassments at worst, and Arsene Wenger has
given a little insight into why while heaping praise on his match-winning captain, 'He pops up when
you need it.
The Daily Mail is today reporting on Blackburn's boss Mark Hughes, who was so impressed with

writes that Man [.
Both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are having problems with their goalkeepers. With Gunners

damsels in distress who need [.

Today's transfer rumours revolve around Manchester City, strikers, Arsenal's Jens Lehmann and the
silly (or not so silly) Ronaldinho-Barcelona-Chelsea saga. Manchester City are flying high in the
English Premiership and they want to fly higher, it seems. Manchester City chairman Thaksin
Shinawatra is said to be deeply contemplating on whether to make a move for the [.
Not a classic encounter by any means; however, it was fascinating stuff between two teams who
clearly hate each other. Here are three things I learned from the match: No.1
Making William Gallas captain was one of Arsene Wenger's unlikeliest
masterstrokes. Gallas strikes me as vain, petulant and arrogant - but give him a bit of
responsibility and he harnesses those traits to positive effect.
A yuletide pick and mix bag of transfer tales, as well as some mulled whine from Didier Drogba and
Nic Anelka... Sir Alex Ferguson is set for a huge January transfer splurge, the Man Utd boss will

Today's first batch of rumours is a heady brew of potent guff and noxious waffle. Bundesliga's
Wolfsburg are ready and waiting to bag Jens Lehmann and rid Arsenal of the German's interminable
moans.(Mirror) ...Whilse bovine teammate Philippe Senderos won't have to face a cull until next
summer, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will delay sending the Swiss defender [.
William Gallas has done it again, first he scored against Man Utd and now he scored the winner
against Chelsea.
An uncharacteristic howler by Cech, flapping at and missing a corner, allowed Gallas to head home
against his former club two minutes before the break.
A tight first-half was characterised more by aggressive than quality play, the Arsenal fans
baying for blood every time the ball came near Ashley Cole and the likes of Frank Lampard lucky not
to be booked for rough challenges early on.
Some Boxing Day transfer guff... Liverpool have leapt ahead of Celtic and snapped up Ross County
youngster Alex Cooper. The 16-year-old winger was bought for an undisclosed 6 figure sum. (The Sun)
Everton head honcho David Moyes won't think twice about dropping Yakubu if he suffers another
stutter in form.

Let's go around the globe in under two minutes, shall we? ** There are brain farts and then there
are brain farts. Whatever the French equivalent for brain fart is, that's what Arsene Wenger's boys
did in a stunning 2-1 away loss at Middlesbrough, ending Arsenal's 15-game unbeaten run to start
the season.
