“I come here to see how to win trophies because this club deserves to win again, and I think you have to try your best to win each and every match.”
While Willian arrived in north London, Jan Vertonghen left, and joined Benfica on a three-year contract after leaving Tottenham Hotspur.
Jadon Sancho remains connected to Manchester United, Dortmund’s executive leader Hans-Joachim Watzke, has become the last member of his hierarchy to dismiss rumors.

And he has not advanced in the talks with Real Madrid to extend the contract of transfer of Dani Ceballos after the return of the player to Spain last week.
Arsenal is still looking for several players from the team, adding Matteo Guendouzi, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Sokratis and Mohamed Elneny to raise funds.
But unless they can be sold quickly, Arteta may be forced to diminish its prospects in terms of potential new recruits.
JUVE GOTTA THESE JOKES

Ousmane Dembele would be a signing for Man United if they miss Jadon Sancho, according to Brazilian legend Rivaldo.
He wrote in a column for Betfair: “Ousmane Dembélé travelled with Barca to Lisbon and there is one we will see him play against Bayern.
“It may be what I call a ‘prankster’ for Barcelona, which comes from banking to the game because he is very talented.
“There are rumors that he left the club at the end of the season, but while he’s there, the coach uses it.
“According to some rumours, Manchester United would be interested in him after having difficulties in his attempt to recruit Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. Dembélé can be a smart choice for United. He’s very fast and talented, and I think he can just thrive in the Premier League.
JOR FALLING
