Arsenal & Tottenham target will stay says manager

By  on August 1, 2014
Morgan Schneiderlin
Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has said Morgan Schneiderlin will not be leaving the club despite reported interested from both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
The French international has also been warned of his conduct following an outburst on Twitter on Tuesday.
The Southampton player wrote on Twitter: “6 years of an amazing journey #saintsfc DESTROYED in 1 hour !!!”
Morgan Schneiderlin has been heavily linkedwith a move to Tottenham Hotspur this week whilst Arsenal interest has recently died down.
Ronald Koeman is quoted by the BBC as saying:
“He is a player of Southampton and will continue to be.”
“I spoke with him about that tweet. Always you have to keep that type of information inside and we spoke about that and his situation.”
This summer the Saints have so far sold five first team players from last season but chairman Ralph Krueger told BBC Radio Solent on Wednesday that Morgan Schneiderlin and forward Jay Rodriguez would not be leaving St Mary’s as well.
Southampton have made £92 million on their sales this summer:
Luke Shaw (£27m to Manchester United)
Adam Lallana (£25m to Liverpool)
Dejan Lovren (£20m to Liverpool)
Calum Chambers (£16m to Arsenal)
Rickie Lambert (£4m to Liverpool)
Koeman also hinted that Pablo Osvaldo could be on his way out of the club, with Italian Serie A giants Internazionale strongly linked:
“We are looking for the best for Osvaldo and the best for the club.”
The Dutch manager also hinted it could be a swap deal for the Italian sides exciting youngster Saphir Taïder:
“Taïder brings quality and we need that. We need competition in the squad as well and that will be good.”
Morgan Schneiderlin has been at Southampton since 2008 when he moved from French side Strasbourg. He has played in the top three tiers of English football with the Saints, making a total of 205 league appearances and scoring 10 goals.  He has been one of the Premier League’s best holding midfielders over the past two years.

Reported Arsenal injury news, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson all captured in the update Arsena l midfielder Thomas Partey picked up an injury to his right thigh in training on Friday and did not feature in the 2-1 win over Fulham at the weekend. The club have described the problem as tightness in the muscle, rather than a pull or a tear, which indicates the Ghanaian international won’t be out of contention for too long. Oleksandr Zinchenko also missed the game on Saturday and it’s unlikely that he’ll be spending much time on the treatment table either. The Ukrainian international has a minor sprain in his left knee and he was left out for the Fulham match as a precaution. It would suggest that the defender will be available to face Aston Villa on Wednesday evening, while Partey may need a bit longer to recover. Fans will, though, be hoping he is back for the trip to play Manchester United next weekend. Reiss Nelson has not featured this campaign due to a muscular

Official: Runar Alex Runarsson signs for Arsenal

Arsenal have completed a deal to sign Runar Alex Runarsson from Dijon today, as confirmed by their official website. Runarsson joined Dijon from FC Nordsjaelland, and although he started as first choice, underwhelming performances saw him lose his place to Alfred Gomis. He played 45 games for the Ligue 1 side. His signing has been championed by goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana Pavon who worked with him in Denmark, and that relationship played a key part in Arsenal’s decision to bring him in. The goalkeeper will come in as replacement for Emiliano Martinez, who quit the club to join Aston Villa last week. Welcome to The Arsenal, Alex Runarsson 🔴 👋 @runaralex — Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 21, 2020 Football.London claims the goalkeeper has cost just £1 Million, which could well give us a much-needed boost to our finances as we look to strengthen our midfield, with strong links with both Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey. Runarsson will wear the number 13 shirt this seas
