Arsenal seem to be leading the race for Sporting Lisbon’s defensive midfielder William Carvalho.
According to Portuguese newspaper O Jodo Arsenal are willing to pay 30 million euros to secure the services of Carvalho. This was the leading headline in today’s paper however; details are minimal because they do not publish on their site.
It is believed that Carvalho only earns £8000 per week which maybe crucial if Arsenal get the chance to offer Carvalho a contract.

Main man Yaya Sanogo cleverly opened the scoring and indeed his Arsenal account, only a year after joining the club, halfway through the first half after Aaron Ramsey had turned the Benfica fullback inside out.
There was another first Arsenal goal just 14minutes later when Costa Rica World Cup star Joel Campbell volleyed home exquisitely from another cross from the right, before he turned provider for Sanogo’s second, unselfishly squaring to give the Frenchman an open net.
The 21-year-old refused to relax before the break, grabbing his hat-trick goal just a minute later on the stroke of half time, chipping over the helpless goalkeeper – this time resulting from a cross from the left.
Not long after half time he continued the trend, snatching his 4th on the rebound from Ramsey’s saved strike.

On the day that marquee summer signing Alexis Sanchez - who cost the Gunners over £30million from Barcelona this summer - made his debut in the red strip, it was Yaya Sanogo who took the headlines as he hit 4 goals on home turf.
Sanogo joined last summer on a free from French side Auxerre but made just 14 appearances in his debut season, and failing to produce a goal.
