3.皇家社会主帅伊马诺尔:“让我对梅里诺说声谢谢。他表现得很棒，我为他现在能够迈出这一步而感到骄傲”。

Real Sociedad manager Imanol: “Let me say thanks to Merino. He’s been fantastic and I’m proud to see him now making this step”.

4.米克尔·阿尔特塔关于梅里诺传闻的回应：“你知道我不能谈论任何不在我们队的球员。市场上还有时间，对于其他教练和其他球队来说都是如此，你可以看出现在有多忙。”

“我不确定[是否很快会有结果]，我们目前全神贯注于现有的球员。重要的是明天对阵阿斯顿维拉的比赛，这就是我们现在的处境。”

Mikel Arteta on Merino rumours: “You know that I cannot talk about any player that is not with us. There is still time in the market, both ways, for other managers & other teams & you can tell how busy it is getting.”

“I’m not sure [whether something will happen soon], the full focus is on the players that we have at the moment. The big matter is tomorrow against Aston Villa & that’s where we’re at.”

5.阿尔特塔：拉希姆·斯特林好几次被排除在切尔西队外。有想给他打电话的冲动吗？

“不，但我可以谈谈我和拉希姆在一起的时间。这是非同寻常的，我们一起建立了非常牢固的关系。”

Raheem Sterling's been left out of the Chelsea squad a couple of times. Any temptation to give him a call?

Arteta -

“No, but I can talk about my time with Raheem. It was exceptional, we built a really strong relationship together.”

6.罗马诺和DO：

波尔图和阿森纳已达成协议，将直接租借法比奥·维埃拉一个赛季，不包含买断选项。

Porto & Arsenal have an agreement on a straight loan for Fabio Vieira. There is NO buy option included.

7.南安普顿正在与阿森纳就阿隆·拉姆斯代尔的租借协议进行谈判。双方还在讨论如果南安普顿保级成功，是否会有潜在的购买义务。狼队也对此保持兴趣，而拉姆斯代尔也位列伯恩茅斯门将引援名单之中。

Southampton are in talks with Arsenal over a loan deal for Aaron Ramsdale. The clubs are also discussing potential obligations to buy should Southampton stay up. Wolves remain interested & Ramsdale is also on the list of goalkeeper targets at Bournemouth. [Sky]

8.米克尔·阿尔特塔：“我希望拥有一支由一半青训球员和一半外援组成的球队，并持续赢得英超联赛和欧冠联赛。

“我有一个很好的例子，毕尔巴鄂竞技队，他们只用青训球员和巴斯克球员就取得了非凡的成就。”

Mikel Arteta: "I want to have a team that's half academy, half foreign and win the Premier League and Champions League consistently.

"I have a great example, Athletic Bilbao, what they've done only with the academy and Basque players is remarkable."
