Sorry it's early, but I'm off out for Tennis and won't get back before 7:45. Also I don't believe we're being shown anywhere in the world on live TV, so I believe we may have to listen to it . If anyone finds a link please post it.

What they’ve said
Arsene Wenger
'Dreams do come true sometimes when you really want it and have been lucky as well.
'First of all you must really want it and Nico is one of these guys who has that.
'He is ready to give himself a chance with full commitment. Nico is a fantastic player, but also has an excellent attitude - his is a good example to follow for all of the fans who will turn up on Wednesday night.'
