Arsenal transfer news: Laurent Koscielny turned down chance to join Thierry Henry at Monaco
Laurent Koscielny turned down the chance to join Monaco, opting to stay with Arsenal at least until the end of the season.The defender only returned to action in the Europa League win over Qarabag in December, having not played since rupturing his Achilles in the same competition in May 2018 against Atletico Madrid.1His injury curse struck again when he was forced to pull out of the FA Cup win against Blackpool last Saturday after picking up a back problem in the warm-up.According to Le10 Sport, Monaco manager Thierry Henry was interested in bringing his former team-mate to the Stade Louis II this month, but, Koscielny declined the offer as he was still working his way back to fitness.The 33-year-old joined Arsenal in 2010 and is one of their most senior players, having made 330 appearances and winning three FA Cups. Henry was also turned down by former Real Madrid centre-back Pepe, who returned to Porto after 12 years, so instead signedNaldo from Schalke, with his side 19th in Ligue 1 after just three wins all season.Cesc Fabregas has reportedly joined the club. On his official Instagram account, the departing Chelsea midfielder confirmed he was excited to be heading to Monaco, even if it is uncertain when he will make the move.

League Two: Yeovil drop out of the Football League after collapse at Northampton
Yeovil were relegated to the National League after throwing away a two-goal lead at Northampton on a dramatic day at the foot of League Two.The Glovers looked on course to boost their survival bid after goals from Tristan Abrahams and Jake Gray in the opening 24 minutes put them in control.2However, Omar Sowunmi headed into his own net four minutes after half-time and Daniel Powell pulled the Cobblers level six minutes later.Notts County started the day behind Yeovil but gave themselves a huge lifeline with a 2-1 win at home to Grimsby – a Craig Mackail-Smith effort and a Harry Clifton own goal earning them the three points.However, the Magpies remain two points adrift of 22nd-placed Macclesfield, who moved a step closer to preserving their English Football League status thanks to a 66th-minute David Fitzpatrick goal in a 1-0 win at Port Vale that relegated the Glovers, who are now helplessly four points from safety with a single fixture left to play.2Forest Green were on their way to gaining ground in the race for automatic promotion until a late collapse in their match at Crewe.Rovers led 3-2 with three minutes remaining but conceded twice before the final whistle to lose 4-3, meaning they will now likely have to settle for a play-off berth.The result was a let-off for Mansfield and MK Dons, who both suffered defeats – the Dons losing 2-0 at Colchester and the Stags beaten 2-1 at home by Stevenage.Tranmere’s home clash with Bury was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch and will now be played on Tuesday. A win for the Shakers will secure their promotion to League One. Colchester’s victory keeps the Essex side in the chase for a play-off berth currently occupied by seventh-placed Exeter, who still hold a two-point advantage over the chasing pack thanks to a 1-0 win against Oldham.Carlisle, Stevenage and Newport are all level on points with the U’s in a congested race for the end-of-season knockout.The Cumbrians were 4-2 winners against Crawley, while Newport beat champions Lincoln 1-0 and have a game in hand over the four teams above them.Elsewhere, Morecambe were 2-1 winners at Cambridge and Cheltenham beat Swindon 3-2.

Boxing Day 1963 results: When Liverpool scored six, Manchester United conceded six, Fulham netted 10, and Tottenham had an eight-goal thriller
talkSPORTs commentators would have lost the power of speech if they were in the commentary box 50 years ago today.There were an incredible 66 goals scored in the English top flight on 26 December, 1963, with players helping themselves in the penalty box.5Maybe all the goalkeepers enjoyed their Christmas too much?Former Tottenham centre forward Terry Dyson, who played in his side’s 4-4 draw with West Bromwich Albion remarked: “It was a bizarre afternoon of football, without a doubt.”There is unlikely to be anything quite like Boxing Day 1963, with Fulham recording their biggest league triumph to date and Ipswich their worst defeat. Even in the Second Division, Man City pumped Scunthorpe 8-1.But what were the scores on that incredible day? Find out below… Blackpool 1-5 ChelseaDave Durie scored for the home side, but Chelsea were already 4-0 up at Bloomfield Road thanks to Albert Murray, Peter Houseman and two goals from Barry Bridges.

At the end of the day they were fourth, five points off leaders Blackburn.West Brom 4-4 TottenhamTottenham began the decade by winning the League and Cup double and in 1963 won the Cup Winners Cup the first British side to win a European trophy while they were the previous seasons runners-up.

~ Liverpool news: Manchester City will end Reds' unbeaten run

Paris Saint-Germain keen to sign 11-year-old called Kylian Mbappe, who plays for the same youth club as Paul Pogba
Paris Saint-Germain have made an approach to sign 11-year-old youth footballer called… Kylian Mbappe.Playing for local side Roissy-en-Brie, where Paul Pogba spent his formative years, the younger Mbappe shares similarities with his more famous namesake, as French publication Le Parisien report.2Just like the current PSG and France star, he likes to dribble where the ball sticks to his feet like glue and their dads are from Cameroon.“I’ve often been asked if I’ve purposely named my son that way,” Eric, his father, told Le Parisen, pointing out there is only eight years between the two players, meaning nobody knew of Mbappe ‘senior’ – he turned 20 in December – when the younger Kylian was born.Asked about his famous name, the younger Mbappe said he has grown used to the attention it brings.“I do not pay attention even if it makes me rather happy,” he said. “As a PSG fan, I would like to have the same career as him.” His dad, though, won’t push him to follow the same path when asked about the Ligue 1 giant’s interest.“My son will do what he wants and we will not push him at all costs to become a professional footballer,” he said, but did add he is at his happiest when playing football.The 20-year-old Mbappe has taken huge strides in his short career so far. Having broken through at Monaco as a 17-year-old, he won the Ligue 1 title in 2017 then joined PSG on loan later that summer ahead of a permanent 165m transfer in 2018.2However, he has revealed he came close to joining Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger doing his best to persuade him to head to England prior to this switch to the French capital.Mbappe has won the World Cup with France, scoring in the final, and has enjoyed more league success in Paris. He is also close to helping his team into this season’s Champions League quarter-finals, having scored at Old Trafford against Man United in the 2-0 first leg win.
