DONE DEAL: Arsenal have confirmed the signing of attacking midfielder Thomas Eisfeld from Borussia Dortmund on a long-term contract.

by Simon Rice (Online Sports... 1/31/2012 7:00:10 PM
It's an Arsenal signing, but rather a typical one. No-one has heard of him and he's a teenager. A bit more specifically, Thomas Eisfeld is a 19-year-old attacking midfielder who came through the ranks at Borussia Dortmund. He suffered a serious knee injury in 2009 and it's expected he will play below the Arsenal first team this season. It's understood the German cost around £400,000.

We thought his days were numbered but now he plays here every week. We can't pronounce his surname so we call him Nick the Greek! #kyrgiakos

Arsenal's new signing Thomas Eisfeld says: "It's a real honour to be team-mates with the great players at Arsenal, and also training every day with players like Tomas Rosicky - who I grew up watching play at Dortmund." Speaking on the addition, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said: "Thomas is a player we have liked for some time. We've watched him closely this season, where he has excelled for Dortmund's youth team. He is young but has proven to us that he can play, that he has the attitude and technical ability to be a valuable addition to our squad. We're very pleased to welcome him to the club and look forward to his contribution in the coming seasons."

Tottenham 1 Wigan 0 (Gareth Bale, 29)

by Simon Rice (Online Sports... 1/31/2012 8:16:23 PM
As we stand at the moment on the transfer front, we are waiting for confirmation of Nikica Jelavic's switch from Rangers to Everton. A fee has been agreed and the striker is talking to the Toffees. Should he arrive, Louis Saha will leave for Tottenham. If Saha arrives, Roman Pavlyuchenko will join Lokomotiv Moscow. How's that for a transfer merry-go-round. Also, Bobby Zamora remains in talks with QPR about a switch from Fulham.

So Everton have finally completed the transfer of Nikica Jelavic. Surely nothing now stands in the way of Louis Saha's move to Tottenham. It's half-time at White Hart Lane, so Harry Redknapp will be free to make any necessary calls.
