Transfer updates: Hazard to Madrid

That's the latest news buzzing the net today. With rumors swarming about Bale moving to United, it is reported that Madrid will move for the Chelsea star in a £75 million deal.

Since both Bale and Ancelotti has moved to quash all the rumours about the move to United today, the hazard rumor remains a rumor

Transfer live: Arsenal sign Madrid's Khedira

Arsenal have signed German international

defensive midfielder Sami Khedira after

reaching an €18 million transfer

agreement with Real Madrid early Sunday

morning.

It is well known Khedira would be entering

into the final six months of his contract

this January, allowing him to negotiate

with other clubs and leave on a "Bosman"

deal this summer.

The 27-year-old sounded as if he was

willing to remain with Los Blancos earlier

last week, but in the end, signalled his

intentions of signing for Arsenal, a deal

he’d been negotiating for the past several

months with his agent Jorg Santos

Inocentes.

Arsenal, despite having agreed to a deal

with Khedira, were unwilling to wait and

allow teams such as Chelsea and

Manchester United to present Real Madrid

with a big-money offer and ensured they

acquired the services of Khedira this

January.

Khedira will arrive in London later this

week, where he will undergo his standard

medical and be formally presented when

the January transfer window officially

opens on Thursday.

Do you think Sami Khedira will be a good

fit for Arsenal?

Rihanna rocks eye-catching blue coat as she buys children's toys during late night shopping spree

Rihanna looks set to be the greatest aunt in town as she was pictured shopping for children's toys on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old superstar turned heads in the Big Apple as she rocked a 'Smurfette couture' coat for her pre-Christmas spree.

Ri Ri was pictured walking through the Toys R' Us store aisles like the rest of the regular shoppers, however she was escorted to a back room when excited fans began to crowd around her.

Aunty Oh Na Na: Rihanna looks set to be the greatest aunt in town as she was pictured shopping for children's toys on Tuesday

Go flat out for style like Selena Gomez in her Chanel loafers

It used to be that high-heels were a fashionista's best friend. But this season, flats have replaced sky-high styles as this season's go-to shoe choice.

Now, instead of seeing the fash-pack teetering around Fashion Week in a parade of vertiginous numbers, they're filling up the FROW with the likes of trainers and loafers.

Celebs are in on the action too, with Selena Gomez being the latest star to be spotted rocking the flat trend. But in true Selena style, these aren't any ordinary flats... oh no, these are Chanel loafers which are pretty much the crème de la crème of heel-less designs.

That said, there's plenty around on the high-street that make us go equally gooey-eyed as Selena's Chanel pair do - Topshop's 'Serpent' style and Dune's chic slipper style are just a few stand out styles in our edit below. Thanks to flats reigning supreme in the trend stakes at the moment, you could also totally get away with wearing them to any soirées you've got going on this party season... beats hanging on to your best friend for dear life as you navigate your way across yet another cobbled street!

Three generations in one pix..Chris, kim and north: The Kardashians

6-wins on the trot and now United are aiming for the title

That's what head coach Van Gaal believes and is totally convinced of. United trail leaders Chelsea by 10 points heading into the Boxing Day fixtures, and are seven points behind second-placed Manchester City.

Although what the board wants is a ticket back the UEFA Champions League, Van Gaal thinks they can achieve more.

“In the Netherlands and also in Germany you have the Christmas champions," he said.

“But that doesn’t count at the end of May - then you have to be first.

“In Holland and Germany we have a Christmas champion - PSV and Bayern Munich are the Christmas champions.

“It’s better to be the Christmas champions, then the possibility you shall be next champion is bigger - but not certain.

“But the best achievement is champion (overall) because our goal is still to be champions at the end of the season.

“That’s also the best result. We are looking in a football world where No. 1 is the most important thing.

“Our goal is to be first. It’s not always so easy, you can see that.

“That’s why the board have said that our goal is within the first four places but still, with my players and all the staff, we are trying to achieve more than they expect from us.”

United face Newcastle at Old Trafford on Friday as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in their last Premier League game.

I'vehad enough, get used to the bench Balotelli!: Liverpool boss Balotelli

After 17 games with no goal nor assist in the premier league this season. Rogers can't be faulted for this tough decision. Speaking with reporters during an interview, he said.

“We’re at our best when our game is aggressive,” he told reporters of the 3-4-3 system. “So for us it was about trying to find the solution to get back that intensity and tempo to our game, which is critical in terms of how we work.

"That’s key, that real aggressive pressure at the top end of the field. The players are starting to adapt and performances will get better and better.”

The Northern Irishman, though, realises Balotelli may not be able to contribute: “We have seen it’s not really his game. Working with him for the period of time he’s been here we have seen that he’s probably someone who’s better in and around the box.

“That level of intensity and pressing isn’t part of his game. But you try to get the best out of the players you have and the qualities they have. So that’s something we will focus on. The most important thing is he is now available and adds another player to the squad.”

It appears now that SuperMario will have to accept his back up role

“It’s something he would have to get used to,” he added. “If the team is going to need him from the bench then it’s something he would have to become adjusted to. It’s the same for every single player, not just him. When called upon, whether it’s to start a game or come off the bench, you ask your players to be ready.”

Yet another failure?

This is normal with every lady. But for all those clothes in that room, is that not a bit too much? Baby North looks the part too...trying something out herself. With a fashionista like Kim, you'd expect North to grow a better fashion sense as she grows up

Audacious from Wenger as Arsenal look to lure Sergio Ramos away from the Santiago Benabau to the Emirates

To show how serious he is about Arsenal's defensive woes, Wenger has moved to contact Ramos's brother and agent. That's trying too hard if you ask me as I don't see this particular of all moves happening. Ramos is everything Madrid right down to his socks. And he doesn't need to move anyway as his place in the team is secured. So how Wenger's gonna pull this one off is left for one to wonder.

But is this move materializes, it'd be one of the greatest shockers in football history

Madrid Megastar Cristiano Ronal do unveils neww statue of self at his CR7 museum after Club World Cup win

A 2.4-metre-tall statue of Cristiano Ronaldo has been unveiled by the Real Madrid star in his native Madeira.

The bronze effigy, weighing in at around 800 kilograms, was sculpted to add to the extensive collection of memorabilia at the Portuguese forward’s personal museum.

The two-time Ballon d’Or winner was part of the Real Madrid side which became world champions on Saturday by beating San Lorenzo 2-0 in the Club World Cup final in Marrakech. And within 24 hours he was back in his homeland to reveal the new addition in Funchal in front of a huge crowd in the Madeiran capital of Funchal.

“This is a very special moment, to have a statue of me,” Ronaldo told the assembled masses, which included his tearful mother Dolores.

The CR7 museum already boasts golden boots, signed balls and various medals collected by the Portugal captain over the course of his career, while there are also many photographs from the player’s career.

Ronaldo also received the Cordao Autonomico during the trip to his native Madeira. The medal of honour is the highest distinction awarded by the local government.

Arsenal reject former Manchester United Captain Nemanja Vidic

Arsenal have turned down the chance to sign Nemanja Vidic from Inter. The former Manchester United defender was offered to the Gunners but Arsene Wenger will look elsewhere for cover.

Despite obviously needing to shore up their defense, Wenger would not sign the defender. Vidic has endured a tough start to live at Inter this season since his move and could do with the move back to England
