Dani Ceballos will return back to Arsenal after a season long loan deal.
The 24-year old Spanish footballer will rejoin Arsenal on a season-long loan from Real Madrid this week. He spent his 2019-20 campaign at the Emirates Stadium. He reportedly turned down three loan bids from Italy and Spain. When asked about the same, “only Arsenal”, was his answer.
The club also announced the signing of 22-year old Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhaes. World-renowned journalist and reporter Fabrizio Romano first reported the news on Twitter.
Arsenal are planning to announce soon the ‘coming back’ of Dani Ceballos after he turned down three loan bids [from Italy and Spain]. “Only Arsenal” was his answer. Simple loan from Real Madrid. Contracts signed for Gabriel – no problem, it’s 100% done. ⚪️🔴 #AFC#Arsenal#Real
“Arsenal is planning to announce soon the ‘coming back’ of Dani Ceballos after he turned down three loan bids [from Italy and Spain]. “Only Arsenal” was his answer. A simple loan from Real Madrid. Contracts signed for Gabriel – no problem, it’s 100% done.”
Ceballos’ previous season at Arsenal
Ceballos joined Arsenal after a season-long loan in July 2019. He had previously represented Real Betis and Real Madrid. He made his first appearance for Arsenal in August 2019 where he provided two assists in a 2-1 victory over Burnley. Ceballos also earned a man-of-the-match for his performance. He scored his first goal for Arsenal in a 4-0 win over Standard Liege in October 2019. Recently he scored his second goal for Arsenal in to secure a 2-1 win over Sheffield United in June 2020.
Best for Ceballos to stay at Arsenal?
Ceballos has already formed a good relationship with Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta and the rest of the squad. Arteta always wanted to keep him as well because he was an important component of the team who won the FA cup final. The midfielder wasn’t part of Real Madrid’s head coach Zinedine Zidane’s plan anyway.
A return to Arsenal will further guarantee him enough game time for European championship and Olympics next summer.

The Snapdragon 730G has been quite a popular chipset for over a year and has powered a bunch of mid-rangers such as Mi Note 10 Lite, POCO X2, Realme X2, Motorola One Fusion+, and recently Google’s Pixel 4a but it’s getting refreshed with a newer Snapdragon 732G SoC which will offer improved CPU and GPU and a faster fourth-generation artificial intelligence (AI) engine.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G is built on Samsung’s 8nm LPP process and features the same 2x Kryo 470 clocked at up to 2.3GHz while 6x Kryo 470 is clocked at 1.8GHz coupled with Adreno 618 which is now 15% more powerful than the Adreno 618 in last year’s Snapdragon 730.
Announcing the #Snapdragon 732G Mobile Platform — equipped with select Snapdragon Elite Gaming features and impressive #AI performance, this platform is powering some incredible new smartphones we’re eager to get our hands on. Learn more: https://t.co/iOR0x4WAH1pic.twitter.com/vUCEJqJsBw
The Snapdragon 732G also brings the new Spectra 350 ISP with support for capturing stills up to 192MP and 4K HDR video recording. The latest Snapdragon 732G also brings over 730G’s Snapdragon Elite Gaming feature sets including Qualcomm Game Jank Reducer, Vulkan 1.1 Graphics Driver, True HDR, and anti-cheat extension.

We believe the device will set a new benchmark in the mid-range category, completely redefining the relationship between a phone’s price and its capabilities.”
Apple is all set to build their brand new 5G iPhones. The company has asked the suppliers to build at least 75 million models for later this year. Though for the recent global pandemic situation, every company out there faced an amount of loss of their business, but Apple was different. In spite of this crisis situation Apple has managed its profit margin really well by fulfilling the needs of its users.
The Cupertino, California-based technology giant ensures that the shipment of these brand new 5G iPhones may reach as high as 80 million units in 2020. Apple has already planned to launch four new models in October this year with 5G wireless speeds. These four new models may have a different design and also a wider choice of screen sizes.
Not only 75 million 5G iPhones, but also a huge number of New Apple Watch as well as iPad models are decided to be made at the end of the year. Regarding this, Apple is preparing a new iPad Air with an edge-to-edge iPad Pro like display. Also, Apple headphones and HomePod speakers are also in the making according to an Apple spokeswoman.
The COVID-19 outbreak has hammered the world economy and disrupted supply chains. Apple is still feeling the demand for its iPhones. According to a report, Apple shares have soared 76 percent this year making it the first US company to surpass $2 trillion (roughly Rs. 14,569,510 crores) in market value.
Now let’s talk about those four new iPhones from Apple. According to reports, Apple will split those four iPhones into two sections. Two of them will be basic models and the other two will be high-end models. These iPhones will feature OLED displays with color and clarity improvements. The two basic iPhones will come in a new 5.4-inches and a 6.1-inches option, while the high-end models will offer a choice between 6.1-inches or an enlarged 6.7-inches display. That means, Apple is finally providing some huge display in their iPhones like other Androids.
Apple has updated the iPhone designs with squared edges similar to the iPad Pro. The high-end iPhones will use stainless steel edges versus aluminum sides on the cheaper variants. Regarding the colors, the company is also planning a dark blue color option on the Pro models. This color may replace the Midnight Green of the 2019 iPhone 11 Pro model.
Regarding the cameras, these phones will have the LIDAR camera as on the iPad Pro. This type of camera allows Augmented Reality (AR) apps to have a greater understanding of their surroundings. Also, these new iPhones will be powered by the new A14 processor with upgrading speed and power efficiency. Some reports are saying that Apple’s iOS 14 software will arrive in September. So, we can expect the iOS 14 operating system in those new iPhones.
And the last but not the least highlight will be the fifth-generation wireless speeds (5G). Apple is still working on this technology to produce improving connections and higher speeds. The new Apple Watch lineup will include a successor to the Apple Watch Series 5 and a replacement for the Series 3. We can expect some competition between the Series 5 Apple watch and those lower-cost fitness devices such as those from Fitbit.
Every player to ever kick a ball in any corner of the world dreams of one day reaching the pinnacle of European football, the biggest club competition in the entire world, winning the Champions League.
However, not all who make it to the base of the mountain manage to survive the climb to the top, some try and fail despite trying over and over again. Sadly, this applies to the legends of the game as well and that is exactly what we will be looking at in this post, where we talk about the 10 most prolific duos to miss out on the ascension to the European mountain altogether.
1) Maradona and Careca
In 1988, Napoli signed Careca, to add to their attacking options along with the presence of the best footballer in the world at the time, Diego Maradona. The pair fought for the trophy against Real Madrid in the first round, only to have a disappointing exit in the very first round, when the group stages were not in place.
2) Romario and Stoichkov
Johan Cruyff is one of the most respected figures in the history of the beautiful game. Romario and Stoichkov were part of Cruyff’s Barcelona team that were the favourites to win against AC Milan in the Final of the Champions League, but to the shock of whoever placed their money on the Catalans, the Rossoneri won the match 4-0. The 1994 Final was the only time that the Brazilian and the Bulgarian played together in a final.
3) Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka
While both of them had won the Champions League separately, they could not manage to do it together at Real Madrid. Though the duo shared four seasons together at Real Madrid, they were dumped out at the semis on three occasions and the R16 on one. By the time CR7 started his European dominance, Kaka had already moved on from the Spanish Capital.
4) Schuster and Maradona
The pairing of one of the greatest forwards to ever live and the Barcelona captain at the time was hugely disappointing, to say the least. The duo did not manage to deliver a single league title to the fans, despite Schuster managing to win the European Championship with his country, Germany.
5) Ronaldo Nazario and Raul
Just reading the names together would send shivers down the spines of defenders playing against them. As good as they were individually, the fearsome striking force could not deliver a single Champions League trophy to the fans despite having a star-studded team behind them.
6) Heynckes and Simonsen
Back in the 70s, Borussia Monchengladbach used to make it deep into the European competition, unlike now. The team had Rainer Bonhof, Berti Vogts and Uli Stielike among their ranks and despite the five league titles they managed to win, the Champions League evaded them.
7) Laudrup and Platini
Laudrup joined Juventus in 1985 to link up with Platini. The duo played together at the Old Lady for two years but never managed to land the trophy.
8) Falcao and Toninho Cerezo
Although the two Brazilian midfielders were among the best in their times, they never managed to bring the Champions League cup to the Italian capital, despite sharing two seasons together and coming mighty close to the title only to be sent packing by Liverpool.
9) Zidane and Del Piero
The Juventus side consisting of Del Piero and Zidane has to be one of the most creative offensive forces in the world. However, as good as the two legends of the game were in their playing days, they never managed to bring the Champions League to Turin. They were ousted from the competition by Dortmund and Real Madrid on both occasions.
10) Mbappe and Neymar
The most recent of the lot, their win over Bayern in the final would’ve earned them the first Champion’s League title in the club’s history, but the story went otherwise. Instead, the Bavarian giants were handed their sixth Champions League trophy, tying Liverpool and only behind Milan and Real Madrid.
Which other duos do you think should have won the Champions League together? Sound it off in the comments below.
Thanks to the TENAA website, it confirmed now that OPPO is willing to add a new smartphone into its mid-range series. Though any name of that series has not revealed by OPPO, the model number can be PDVM00.
There are some leaks in the media about the new outline design and quite a few specs of this new smartphone from OPPO. From those leaked images it is pretty sure that this phone will have a triple rear camera with an LED flash and a single front camera. The rear camera specification is expected to be 13MP + 2MP + 2MP and the front camera is expected to be of 8-megapixel.
Looking at the images, the main screen looks like to have a hole-punch display, the front camera will be at the top left bottom of the screen. The dimension of this phone is expected to be 163.9×75.1×8.4(mm). OPPO has already released some of the very lightweight, sleek smartphones which do have a fantastic in-hand feel like the OPPO F15 or the upcoming OPPO F17 series. Keeping this in mind, this phone is expected to be around 186 grams.
This OPPO PDVM00 may be launched in three different RAM variants, which are 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB, and also in two different internal storage variants of 4GB and 128GB. Coming to the battery, we can expect a battery of 4,890mAH. There is no official information about the fast charging till now. From those images, it looks like that this phone will have its fingerprint sensor on the back of it. There will be no in-display or side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Looking at these specifications, the phone is expected to be a mid-range budget phone and that is why it may run on Android 10 OS. There is no information about the processor of this phone.
Finally, Samsung has now revealed the official launch date of the “Meanest Monster Galaxy M51”, which will be the 10th of September, 2020. There was a big confusion regarding the launch date of this phone. People have expected the date of the first week of September. But, we will get this in the second week now. The Samsung Galaxy M51 comes with a hole-punch display and features quad rear cameras. It will also have a huge battery of 7,000mAH. In addition to the listing on Amazon, the launch in India has been teased through the company’s social media channels. According to media, the Samsung Galaxy M51 will be launched in India at 12 pm (noon) on September 10.

The Samsung Galaxy M51 will run on Android 10 Os and will get powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipset.

We can see a punch-hole display at the front side along with a quad-camera setup at the back of the phone. Interestingly this mid-range smartphone of the brand will come with an in-display fingerprint scanner or side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Now let’s go for the camera specifications. The M51 has a rear quad-camera setup of 64MP primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture, the wide-angle sensor will be 12MP with an aperture of f/2.2. The other two sensors are the 5MP depth sensor (f/2.4) and the 5MP macro lens (f/2.4). This phone also has a 32MP selfie shooter at the front. That means the rear and front camera setup are quite pretty good and decent.
The Samsung Galaxy M51 has a very powerful battery of 7,000 mAH, which supports 25W fast charging. Though it is a fast charger, you will need more and more time to make this phone 100% charged for its huge battery. But once it is fully charged you can use it and just forget about your charge.
The source claims that this phone will have two RAM variants of 6GB and 8GB and internal storage of 64GB. The internal storage can be extended with a dedicated microSD card (up to 512GB).
This phone also supports a USB Type-C port, dual sim, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Bluetooth 5.0. NFC and FM are also there in this phone. This phone will be slightly heavier for some obvious reasons for a huge battery in it. Dimensions are expected 163x78x8.5mm and weight: 213 grams.

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has been frozen out of the starting eleven. He has not played a single minute since the 2019-20 season resumed after the Coronavirus break.
Ozil was starting to gain his place in the Arsenal team as he started ten matches prior to the Coronavirus break but since then he has fallen down the pecking order.
The German midfielder has made 254 appearances for Arsenal since joining in 2013 from Real Madrid. He has scored 44 goals and provided 77 assists.
Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr wants to sign Ozil this summer. According to Fanatik, Al Nassr are promising the 31-year-old an annual salary of €17m per year, which matches his current wages at Arsenal.
Apart from the high wages, Al Nassr is ready to give Ozil a royal status in order to convince him to come to Saudi Arabia.
A source close to Al Nassr revealed: “We want to make him the new Prince of Saudi Arabia. We will not spare any sacrifices for this.”.
Last month, Ozil told the Athletic that he wants to see out the remainder of his contract at Arsenal.
He said: “Things have been difficult but I love Arsenal. I’ll decide when I go, not other people.”
“Situations like these only make me stronger. I showed in the past that I can come back into the team and I will show it again.”
But after this outrageous offer from the Saudi Arabian side, Ozil might be forced to change his decision.
