It has been reported in various newspapers today and web columns (especially on the Daily Mail) that Arsene Wenger will finally make his interest in Brazilian star Felipe Melo de Carvalho, currently of Fiorentina in the form of a bid.

Arsene Wenger has tracked the star for about 3 years now and lost out last season to Fiorentina who signed the Brazil international for £10 million euros from Almeria the Spanish side.

This weeks stunner is Brazilian Soccer School coach Sarah Harman from London. Sarah currently works as a Budget Manager for an IS enabled project. She's in training to be a Management Accountant and also helps run a Brazilian Soccer School in the Andover and Salisbury area. She attends the coaching sessions every weekend working towards her coaching badges so she can help out even more.

Football is a funny game - this is the sport where anything, and I mean anything, can happen completely out of the blue. For example, no one ever imagined that Brazilian star Ronaldinho, who was literally unstoppable not too long ago, would suddenly become as anonymous as he is nowadays.

Another trophyless season, but many positives to take out of it. Who is the player that you feel has made the biggest, most impressive contribution to the Arsenal cause this campaign? Here are my Top 5 contenders: Denilson - Quietly impressive. Those are the words I would use to describe this flamboyant Brazilian midfielder.

Brazilian midfielder Denilson has been rated as the 16th most efficient player in the Premier League by statistics experts Actim Index. Despite being criticised by many Arsenal fans this season, Denilson proved to be a reliable figure in central midfield during Cesc Fabregas' three-month absence.

Cinderella stories happen everyday, everywhere in this world. In particular, when it comes to the world of football, we have seen quite a few of them.

There have been many occasions in recent years where the genius of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been brought into question. After all, the trophy cabinet has been empty for four years and everyone, from skipper Cesc Fabregas to that little child in the upper tier at the Emirates, is becoming increasingly restless with the club's underachievements.

With the Ballon d'Or nominations finally releasing this weekend, the headlines have mostly been devoted to the fact that world champions Italy have no representation whatsoever. But why blame the press for paying excessive attention to an irrelevant detail? After all, the award itself is destined to be heading Lionel Messi's way, which means very little is there to be talked about in terms of debating the winner, right?

Carlos Alberto Parreira is the new coach for the South African National Soccer Team. After two weeks of rumours and denials, the South African Football Association (SAFA) made the announcement just after 7pm at OR Tambo airport in Johannesburg.

During this Bafana coach fiasco, it seemed all that the loyal and passionate supporters were agreed upon, is that they were happy that Joel Santana was out of the picture.

Brazilians are a funny species. We've seen some outrageous stories about Brazilian footballers, ranging from Robinho this season to Fat Ronaldo in years past.

While Emmanuel Adebayor's infamous lack of sportsmanship this past weekend has overshadowed Manchester City's emphatic 4-2 victory over his former club Arsenal, it is impossible to overlook the strong impact he has made at the Eastlands already.

Arsenal return home in the drivers' seat needing only a 0-0 draw against Villarreal to advance to the next stage of the UEFA Champions League. In the first leg match the Gunners were able to hold out for a 1-1 draw at El Madrigal. The side managed by Arsene Wenger were able to even the match [.

Arsenal will have to face a top European team in Champions League qualification this August after Chelsea secured third place with a 4-1 mauling of the Gunners. Alex headed in the opener despite Arsenal's early dominance and Nicolas Anelka struck with a superb effort before half time. A Kolo Toure own goal wrapped up three points for [.

Beyond the nation's borders, Italian football has certainly faded into the background in recent years. A devastating match-fixing scandal in 2006 bitterly overshadowed the country's World Cup triumph that year while the domestic league has clearly become a one-horse race ever since. Reigning champions Inter Milan have shown no signs of a slip up in the Serie A for the last three seasons and that trend continued with their strong start to the current season as well.
