I want to play. I'm not ready to call it quits by any means. I don't feel old. I've still got that hunger to play and do well. I just want the opportunity to show what I can still do. I feel like I can add value on the pitch but also show the right way to train, the right way to act on and off the pitch. I'm in the bracket now where I've been lucky enough to play for top clubs, win things and work with top managers. I know a lot more now than I did when I started out.

Former Swiss International midfielder Gokhan Inler has now revealed that he had the opportunity to join Arsenal during his time at Udinese. However, the Italian outfit refused to sell him back then. The player eventually ended up in the Premier League with Leicester City, and he won the league title with them during the 2015-16 season.

Now, driven by manager Unai Emery, they are third with growing talk of their involvement in the title race.

"Boys that age don't get given these sorts of opportunities with that regularity unless they're incredible talents," one agent said. "We saw it with Lewis Miley a couple of seasons ago, then Kobbie Mainoo, but he was a little older. "More often, you see young players get a few minutes off the bench, or start matches out wide away from the spine of the team. But to be in the middle of the park? Well, that's special."

The draw for the FA Cup third round has given EFL and non-league sides their first chance to take on date a Premier League club in this season's competition. Holders Crystal Palace will start their defence at Macclesfield, who are among the sixth-tier sides hoping to cause a shock.

The term 'Olmpico' is used to describe a rare goal where a player scores directly from taking a corner without any other player getting a touch on the ball. Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes scored an Olimpico goal on Saturday during their 2-1 win over Burnley. The term comes from the first ever recorded goal of its kind, scored by Cesareo Onzari in 1924 for Argentina against Uruguay.

Antoine Semenyo has been linked with the move away from Bournemouth in recent weeks. The 25-year-old has been in spectacular form, and top teams are interested in securing his services during the January transfer window. Liverpool and Arsenal could use more quality and depth on the flanks, and they have identified the Ghana international as a potential target.

I want him to make a good cross, if he does that [rabona] and makes a bad cross I don't like it. I never saw Messi doing these kinds of things. Messi is the best player to play the game and the biggest quality of Messi is the simplicity of what he does, the simple things he does perfectly.
