Camavinga agent shoots down rumours
Eduardo Camavinga's agent Jonathan Barnett has rubbished suggestions the Real Madrid star was on the verge of joining Arsenal in January.
He said: "That was garbage (exit rumours), it's something that wasn't going to happen.
“He never thought of playing for another team and Real would not let him leave.
"He is going to be one of the stars of Real Madrid in the future, so why would he leave? It was all rubbish."

Morning, Gunners fans!
William Saliba will NOT be back in time to face Manchester City.
That is according to the Evening Standard, who also say Oleksandr Zinchenko will be back in contention to play against his old side after missing the 2-2 draw with West Ham.
And this will not have done much to prove a supercomputer wrong after it tipped City to now go on to clinch the title.
But Granit Xhaka has insisted the title is still in their hands.
He said: “This is not about our mentality and I am certain everyone will see a reaction against Southampton on Friday.
“Everything is still in our own hands if we win our remaining games, so nothing has changed on that front.
“If anyone thinks that we’d get to this point of this season by smashing all our opponents without dropping points, I think they’re not in the right position.
“We are disappointed and when things are not going well it’s easy to show the finger to someone else. But now is the time for everyone to be together."
Elsewhere, Jamie Carragher has claimed Arsenal’s collapse against the Hammers was due to them “getting cocky”.
He explained on Sky Sports: “This idea that Arsenal have bottled it or not held their nerve, I think it’s completely the opposite.
“The problem Arsenal have had is they’ve got complacent, they’ve got cocky.
“That game (West Ham) was so easy. I couldn’t believe there was a way West Ham could get back in the game.
“The only way they could get back in the game was Arsenal doing something stupid.”
In other news, the club have reportedly offered a new deal to Reiss Nelson amid interest from Brighton and Aston Villa.
Arsenal have also suffered blows in their pursuits of midfield duo Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo.
This is due to Newcastle earmarking them for a transfer after reportedly switching to a more aggressive and spend-happy transfer policy in the summer.
