Wenger Scotches David Luiz To Arsenal Rumours

Arsenal host the Premier League champions at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, with Brazil international David Luiz out of the first-team picture. The 30-year-old was unceremoniously dropped by Antonio Conte following a 3-0 Champions League defeat at Roma in October and has been restricted to one subsequent first-team appearance, with an untimely knee injury also hindering his progress. Wenger told a pre-match news conference that he would look for January recruits but dismissed reports he is ready to offer David Luiz an escape route across London....

West Texas Has Been Hit By Over 7 000 Earthquakes In The Last 10 Years
