Dani Ceballos reveals what happened in Arsenal training as Barcelona fear transfer decision

Here's all the news from around the Emirates Stadium over the past 24 hours.

Barcelona concerned that Ousmane Dembele will walk away for free

Barcelona are worried that Ousmane Dembele will leave the club on a free transfer when his contract expires in the summer of 2022, according to reports.

The French international is said to be hesitating about signing an extension with Barca after he spent the summer being linked to Manchester United.

Spanish outlet Sport reported that Dembele was keen to remain at the Nou Camp amid talk of a potential departure, but that could change.

The same report states that Dembele could leave the club when his deal expires, with the former Borussia Dortmund winger able to speak to foreign clubs about a free transfer in 14 months time.

That could put Arsenal on alert with Sport suggesting that the Gunners are interested in the French winger.

"I think it's completely right and fair that Mikel Arteta is spoken of so highly in the media," Hasselbaink said, speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes at its launch of the "It's a fair assessment. If you compare them with Man United, there is a structure in place at Arsenal.

"Yes, they have lost four matches in the league this season but there is a clear structure; I understand what they're trying to do. At Man United, I don't understand what they're trying to do.

"Even though Arsenal are losing matches, they've improved since Arteta took over. Look at Chelsea , as well.

"Even though they have conceded a lot of goals already this season - especially at the start of the season - I understand what they are trying to do and I can't say the same for Man United. I don't know what the players' roles are.

"I really like Arteta at Arsenal," he said. "I like what he's trying to do there, I like what he stands for.
