Digne Vill join Stevie G
Aston Villa are leading the race to sign Everton outcast Lucas Digne.
Toffees boss Rafa Benitez is happy for the French left-back to move on this month and Villa are reportedly in advanced negotiations to tie up a deal.
Digne, 28, has also been linked with Chelsea, Newcastle and West Ham.
But it appears he is destined to play under Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard at Villa Park.
Arteta tears into Gunners
Mikel Arteta told his Arsenal troops to apologise yesterday after they crashed out of the FA Cup third round at Nottingham Forest.
The below-par Gunners were sunk by Lewis Grabban’s late strike at the City Ground — leaving their boss fuming.
Arteta said: “We were not good enough and we have to apologise for it.
“I don’t want to use excuses, I expect the team I put out to do better and when you don’t in the Cup you are out.
“We didn’t put in the level to win the game. It’s a collective issue and we have not done it.
“What we have done is nowhere near the level and standards required.”
Cavani’s Ed is still at Old Trafford
Ralf Rangnick was full of praise for Edinson Cavani after revealing the veteran striker had pledged to stick around at Manchester United.
Cavani, 34, has made just eight appearances in the Premier League this season and it was widely expected he would look to move on during the January sales.
But Rangnick has calmed talk of the Uruguayan quitting Old Trafford before his deal expires at the end of the season.
United’s interim boss said: “He came to my office and we spoke for almost half an hour and he told me he will definitely stay. He wants to stay until the end of the season.
“He told me I can rely on him to stay until the end of the season, give his very best and be a role model for the young players.
“He’s available and he’s happy to play. Even if he’s not playing, he will be trying to be the best possible role model for the other players.”
