Liverpool £30million for Sadio Mane, but only if he wins a hat-trick of Ballon d'Ors, has sparked another look at other strange contract clauses.Mane looks set to depart the Reds this summer, with Bayern his most likely destination. According to The Times, the Bundesliga champions have proposed paying a guaranteed fee of £23.5m, with another £6.5m to come if he wins the Ballon d'Or in each of the next three years.On first viewing, it appears to be an odd proposal and is one that Liverpool are said to have given short-shrift to.

Arsenal flop looks to get his career back on track in Denmark.The two-time FA Cup winner, 30, was once tipped as England's brightest prospect after an unerring performance against Barcelona as a teenager drew rave reviews from manager Arsene Wenger.

Stoke City's stint in the Premier League. The Potters stormed to promotion in the 2007/08 campaign and - despite being favourites to drop straight back into the Championship - thrived in the top-flight for a decade against the odds.Delap was a key part of that Stoke squad - but even he would have been envious of this attempt, with the non-leaguer launching the ball miles into the opposition's penalty area without even taking a run-up.And fans have flocked to social media after being left dumbfounded by the clip.

Arsenal in January 2018.At the time, the Gunners were struggling for goals despite signing Lacazette earlier that season in the summer from Lyon for a fee of £46.5million - at the time a club-record fee. But despite scoring 14 times in his first Premier League campaign, then-manager Arsene Wenger wanted more.When it became apparent that Aubameyang was on the market at Borussia Dortmund, an unusual triple-way transfer went ahead when Chelsea loaned the German club Michy Batshuayi. The Blues would go on to prise Olivier Giroud away from the Emirates, allowing them to snap up the Gabon international.And in a revealing interview with Canal+ in France, Lacazette has opened up on his relationship with his fellow striker.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger put Richard Keys in his place after the presenter asked why Manchester City didn’t make a final push to sign Harry Kane last year.The former Sky Sports anchor said that he did not understand why the Premier League champions opted to sign Jack Grealish for £100m when they could have put in that little bit extra and signed Tottenham forward Kane instead. But Wenger, when pressed by Keys, said that the answer was “simple.”“I would say until now Grealish didn’t have the impact that you expected him to have at Manchester City," the 72-year-old said on beIN. "He’s not always a regular player.

Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson when naming the most intimidating manager throughout his time in the Premier League.The vociferous Scotsman, 80, was known as a nightmare for officials during his tenure at Old Trafford due to his belligerent nature on the touchline.

The Masked Singer judge Mo Gilligan and comedian Alex Brooker.

Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger said he has felt like “a guy who’s off drugs’ ever since he retired from football management.The Frenchman brought down the curtain on his time as Arsenal boss in 2018, after 23 years of managing the Gunners. Wenger won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups as Arsenal manager, overseeing the infamous ‘Invinicibles’ side who did not lose a single league match on their way to the title in the 2003-04 season.Wenger also led the Gunners to the 2006 Champions League final and ensured a smooth transition from Highbury into the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger appeared absolutely baffled that a conversation about contract talks were about Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah rather than Jamie Vardy of Leicester.Salah is out of contract next summer and is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal at Anfield, with talks that the wages he is being offered is not fairly representing how influential the Egyptian feels he is.Speaking to Andy Gray and Richard Keys, Wenger confirmed that he would do whatever it costs to extend Salah’s deal, but after some slight confusion despite the player in question being referenced as the ‘best in the world’.Speaking on beIN Sport, Keys began the conversation by saying: “You’ve got a 29/30-year-old who is generally regarded as the best player in the world. He and his agent believe that he should be better rewarded now and certainly going forward in his life.”He then asked Wenger: “By the time his contract expires he’s 31-and-a-half, edging towards 32, would you commit to paying him £400,000-a-week over the next three years?”After a comparison was made to Kylian Mbappe’s reported £1million-per-week deal with Real Madrid, the former Arsenal boss replied: “Every situation is different and separate.

Arsenal legend leaving little to the imagination.The official Gunners' Instagram account pictured the two cult heroes on a walk at the Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda, but Parlour’s shorts stole the show on social media.And fans flocked to the comments section to goad the 48-year-old for his pose.One said: “Rays shorts are a bit tight.”Another said: "Yeah them shorts have had it."A third wrote: “Ray stop pointing that at Pires.”Parlour recently spoke about how Mikel Arteta's decision to exile Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and sell him to Barcelona proves that the Spaniard has emulated the style of his former boss Arsene Wenger.The Gabon international fell out of favour with the Spaniard and was consequently sold to Barcelona to alleviate the £350,000-per-week bill he was costing the club.And via TalkSport, Parlour said that the manner in which the situation was handled by the 39-year-old reeked of the former management style of Wenger.“He didn't like confrontation, Arsene Wenger.

Mikel Arteta's young Arsenal side have captivated the Premier League at times this season.The performances of players like Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli have prompted hope that the Gunners finally have a strong foundation to build from after years of inconsistency.The willingness to give youngsters a chance is a trait synonymous with Arsenal throughout the Premier League era, with legendary former boss Arsene Wenger renowned for putting faith in youth.With that mindset back at the Emirates Stadium - not to mention a talented crop to match - here is a look at the 10 youngest Premier League debutants for the Gunners and an assessment of how their career panned or is panning out.Debut: 19th September 2005 vs. Everton (H)The Cameroon international caught the eye from a young age at Arsenal and after breaking into the first team under Wenger he had spells of both excellent and disappointing form.Song forged a fine understanding with Robin van Persie, with his pinpoint passes into the Dutchman becoming trademark during one campaign.As much as Song had a fine career at Arsenal and went on to play for an all-conquering Barcelona, he will perhaps be best remembered for awkwardly coming forward when Carlos Puyol beckoned Eric Abidal to lift the La Liga trophy.Debut: 14th September 2013 vs. Sunderland (A)Akpom scored goals for fun at youth level for the Gunners, so it was no shock when he earned a first-team chance.The striker was unable to find the net with the same frequency in senior football though.

Arsenal's legendary manager Arsene Wenger - who has a net worth of $48million (£35million).White said: "I think this will be my, well this will be my last competition too, which is pretty special."White cited his knee, among other things: "It's this and it's that, all these things are major things that brought me to this conclusion."White made his first Winter Olympics in the 2006 games, which were held in Turin, where he won gold in the half-pipe after almost being eliminated in the qualifiers.He also won gold at the 2010 edition, but he only managed fourth in the 2014 iteration of the games.But the Olympics isn't White's only success, and he dominated the sport in other events such as the X-Games.White is also part of the highly exclusive group to have a video game named after him: alongside Tiger Woods and Brian Lara. Will you be watching Shaun White at the Olympics? Let us know in the comments section Wenger, on the other hand, was one of the Premier League's longest-serving coaches.Between 1996 and 2018, Wenger was in the dugout at Arsenal, and he led the Gunners to three Premier League titles.However, despite Wenger's position at the front of English football, he still can't match White's net worth.This is largely due to the huge sponsorship deals that White was handed while competing.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well then sign up for the brilliant Daily Star football email newsletter!From the latest transfer news to the agenda-setting stories, get it all in your email inbox - don't miss a thing.It only takes a matter of seconds.Simply type your email address into the box at the top of this article and hit 'subscribe'.And that's it, job done.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claims he 'almost signed' so many of the world's greatest players that it's become something of a running joke.For nearly two decades now, the Gunners have been playing second-fiddle in the Premier League to their wealthier - and ultimately more successful - rivals.They've had to watch as Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and even Liverpool rake in talent from far and wide to build title-winning super teams, year after year.Landing Dusan Vlahovic would've been Arsenal's first major statement in the transfer market since signing Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid in 2013, but as has happened so often over the past 20 years, they failed to get the deal over the line.With the big Serb now on the verge of joining Juventus, Daily Star Sport has taken a look back at 11 other top players Arsenal came so close to signing in recent years.The vultures quickly came circling after Leicester City's miraculous Premier League triumph in 2016.N'Golo Kante was snapped up Chelsea, Manchester City were pushing for Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy had an excruciating decision to make when the Gunners triggered his £20 million release clause.It looked like the deal was done when Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud acknowledged the approach publicly, saying how much he was looking forward to playing alongside the England international, but Vardy eventually opted to stay with the Foxes.Do you think Arsene Wenger ever lies about which players he 'nearly' signed? Let us know in the comments section below...Wenger was eyeing up a long-term replacement for club captain Patrick Vieira in the summer of 2004, and identified West Ham youngster Michael Carrick as the ideal candidate.The two even met in person to discuss terms, but
