Just in time
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Nicklas Bendtner has moved from 26th to 52nd . . . thanks to the recommendation of her mother’s guessing friend.
The 32-year-old Danish striker took the number 26 jersey at the Emirates in 2007 when he returned from a season in Birmingham.
But after two years, appearances and 23 goals, he took into account the suggestion of his mystic confidant.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Bendtner said: “I went from the No26 T-shirt to the No52 T-shirt because of a fortune teller my mother knows. Or a psychic, as she thinks.
She thinks the 26th is a number for me, 2 6’8, which is my so-called ‘bad number’.
“She found out . . . More or less. According to the friend, seven is my lucky number. My strength number.
“Unfortunately, seven are already busy.
“And 2cinco (2 five x 7) that of [Emmanuel] Adebayor, which means that everything is similar to evil karma.
“We settle for the end.
“When it becomes official, everyone thinks it’s a clue to my new salary: 52,000 euros a week. “
GUNNER GO?
Arsenal’s former star, Gael Clichy, is in training with a French team in fifth place after a loose agent, reportedly.
The former French left-back was seen in the field of the little-known Thonon Evian this week.
Clichy, 35, had been racing in the Turkish First Division for 3 seasons with Super Lig champion Istanbul Basaksehir.
The former Manchester City star fell to Pep Guardiola towards the end of his Etihad career before leaving the team in 2017.
Clichy saw Thonon Evian’s artificial field education, according to Foot Mercato, away from the glamorous accessories of his former Premier League and Super Lig employers.
FAST RACE
Arsenal secured a Europa League tie with Rapid Vienna, Molde and Dundalk in Group B.
José Mourinho will also have his chances of progressing with the Spurs’ draw against Ludogorets, LASK and Royal Antwerp.
But Mourinho will also curse that his team will have to face the gigantic 3300-mile adventure to face Bulgarian rival Ludogorets, especially with a busy schedule of encounters.
Leceister, making their Europa League debut, will face Braga, AEK Athens and Zorya Luhansk in Group G.

CARD HOUSES
Arsenal joined through Paris Saint-Germain in the race for Houssem Aouar, but Mikel Arteta remains the star of Lyon.
The Gunners are desperate to bring in the French game maker, who will leave Ligue 1 before the window closes on Monday.
However, for the French media outlet L’Equipe, PSG President Al Khelaifi has developed a plan to point to Aouar in 2021.
The report adds that the club landed the 22-year-old this summer due to monetary restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
However, the PSG, which allegedly met with the 22-year-old’s entourage this year, hopes to reach an agreement with its national rivals before moving next year.
‘I’M VERY CONFIDENT’
Mikel Arteta dates between Arsenal and Houssem Aouar.
Speaking at today’s press conference, he said, “Well, I’m pretty sure what we’re going to do internally.
“[I get] clarity and help from everyone at the club to see the team if we can.
“But above all, to the right balance in the team, for the time being and how we need to evolve the team in the future.
“We’re all very aligned, but I’m afraid I can’t give you any updates or news. “
TAKE THE MIK
Mikel Arteta has revealed that Arsenal needed Emiliano Martinez to leave the club for Aston Villa.
He said: “We didn’t need Emiliano Martinez to be, but it’s probably the right thing to do for both sides. “
And he admitted he’s goalkeeper No. 1 Bernd Leno.
He said: “I am satisfied with the functionality and character of Bernd.
“He really helped us. In fact, I accept Bernd as true.
‘COLD AS ICE’
Fans went crazy after Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ penalty.
A Twitter user wrote: “Ainsley Maitland-Niles becomes the Pelé when he reaches the penalty point. Cold as ice. “
One moment he tweeted: “Has Maitland-Niles ever experienced ‘nerves’ in his life?I seriously doubt it.
A third added: “That smile, that damn smile. Maitland-Niles is 12 yards away. “
JORG-EOUS
Arsenal have reportedly focused their attention on pointing to Jorginho, as it is increasingly less likely to point to Houssem Aouar.
According to ESPN’s Julien Laurens, Mikel Arteta’s team hopes to succeed in a deal for Chelsea midfielder.
The 28-year-old Italian has been linked to a departure from Stamford Bridge this summer.
But Arsenal will have to face Paris Saint-Germain for their signing.
WAITING FOR A MAIT
Mikel Arteta joked that Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ icy penalty would give him a center attack.
He praised the player for doing business from there, even if that scares him.
He said: “I told him in the locker room that he was going to have a central attack with his frame language. Jesus christ!
“He puts it on the net, that’s why he’s one of the submarines. “
Cold ice.

In statements to Sky Sports, he said, “Your goalkeeper is remarkable today. “
The goalkeeper made stops for Divock Origi and Harry Wilson on the consequences as Arsenal 5-4.
After the match, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: “I told him after the match that I wasn’t very satisfied with that. “
FOR SALT?
Arsenal are reportedly in surprise talks to fire William Saliba in the interests of Rennes.
The Frenchman has inclined to provoke a typhoon in the Emirates after reaching 28 million pounds from Saint-Etienne, but is still waiting to make his deyet for the Gunners.
The 19-year-old, who has been compared to Virgil van Dijk, due to forming a new central defense association along with his Ligue 1 modeler student Gabriel Magalhaes.
But while the Brazilian made an elegant transition to life in England, Saliba stayed out.
According to Ouest-France, Rennes is now in talks to take Saliba straight back to Ligue 1.
ARSENAL FANS GOOD MORNING
Arsenal reached the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup and will face Manchester City at home in the round.
The Gunners tied 0-0 for Liverpool at Anfield, winning 5-4 for consequences last night in the round eight.
Joe Willock scored the victory shot after game goalkeeper Bernd Leno said, “It’s a very complicated game.
“We made some changes, but you may see our philosophy and goal of winning this game.
“It’s a chance to win the trophy and fortunately we won the shooting.
“It is vital as a goalkeeper to save penalties, but next time I would win the game without a penalty shoot-out. When you win them, it’s even better.
“I never feared [losing the number one spot] because the club gave me the feeling that I was number one. “
“My task is to do it every single week and I think I did it tonight.
On the other hand, Bukayo Saka and Ainsley Maitland-Niles were from Gareth Southgate’s England team.
And in transfers, Lucas Torreira is the last to move to Atletico Madrid, finishing his career at Arsenal.
Finally, UEFA has given the soft green to fans, but where national governments allow it.
To a extent that the tension in Prem’s aspect for a change of direction through the British government will increase, the current executive committee of European football agreed that the number of enthusiasts will be limited to 30% of the stadium’s capacity.
But there will be no legal outdoor followers at the moment.
The change, which will apply to all competitive matches under the aegis of UEFA, will take effect from next week’s foreign stop.
A LITTLE RICH
Premier League clubs will be more resilient to an EFL bailout after learning that the league’s homeowners weigh more than 32 billion pounds.
High-level groups are under increased pressure from the government to push EFL President Rick Parry to raise 250 million pounds to keep his 72 clubs alive.
But while Parry met with Prem leader Richard Masters to conclude a major deal, the wrath of the club’s leaders reached new levels.
The most recent figures of the 24 league owners, compiled from various monetary sources, estimate that the total wealth of clubs at the most sensitive point of the EFL amounts to 32,367 million pounds.
A senior Premier League source told SunSport, “When you look at what homeowners are among them, you have to wonder why they want Premier League cash. “
