Arsenal fans are not waiting for the first north London derby of the season to reignite their long-running rivalry with Tottenham after poking fun at their £30m signing of Moussa Sissoko from Newcastle, with the France midfielder insisting for years that he wants to play for the Gunners. Sissoko went public on more than one occasion with his desire to play for Arsenal, having seen a string of French internationals pass through the club during Arsene Wenger’s 20-year reign. But while Arsenal considered making a move for the 27-year-old in recent years, his terrible form last season looked to put them off for good. He did impress at Euro 2016 as hosts France reached the final, though that only annoyed Newcastle fans further due to a belief that he simply hadn’t tried to perform to his best level during the 2015/16 campaign as the Magpies were relegated to the Championship. At one point, Sissoko looked to be on his way to Everton after they lodged a £30m offer, but the move triggered a return bid from Spurs and the north London side completed the expensive signing late on transfer deadline day. Arsenal supporters have been quick to take to social media though in order to taunt their rivals, and questioned how they will be able to support a player who has so openly declared his intention to play for Arsenal.

The reports concern a former mentor of Melania Trump, modeling agent Paulo Zampolli, who employed her in the 1990s. The Daily Mail, citing Suzy, reported that Zampolli also ran a high-end escort service. Trump and Zampolli both vehemently deny they were ever involved in the escort busine...

How Cristiano Ronaldo, the world's highest-paid sports star, makes and spends his millions

Cristiano Ronaldo was already the highest-paid athlete of any sport and now he can add a new title: lifetime Nike athlete. Earlier this week, Ronaldo signed a new "lifetime" contract with Nike. He is just the third athlete to sign a lifetime deal with Nike, joining LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Ronaldo also signed a new deal with Real Madrid that will keep the Portuguese national with his club team for at least the next five seasons. That deal, along with some of the biggest endorsement deals in football, give him a ludicrous amount of cash to burn.
