Arsenal is currently battling Liverpool for the signature of an 18-year-old striker labelled the “next Erling Haaland.”
Andreas Schjelderup plays for Nordsjaelland, and he is now a mainstay on their first team after scoring 5 goals in 10 games for them this term.
European scouts have been watching him, especially clubs who missed out on a promising young Haaland.
Arsenal is one of them, but Calciomercato reveals they are not alone, with Liverpool also looking to add him to their squad.
The Reds have signed some fine young players recently to gradually replace their ageing squad.

Last Sunday, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was forced to exit the game in the second quarter of Miami’s game with the Buffalo Bills after what looked to anyone watching like a serious blow to the head. Tagovailoa appeared to slam his helmet on the turf after being knocked down by a defensive player, got up, and then wobbled and fell again to his knees.
But Tagovailoa did not stay out of the game for very long. According to the Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, he was evaluated by “several layers of medical professionals” for any sign of a head injury, cleared to go, and eventually finished the game.
And then, on Thursday night, this happened:

Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard insists he wants to keep Douglas Luiz amidst interest from Arsenal, even though he admits it would be hard to achieve that.
Luiz is the subject of serious transfer interest from the Gunners, who have been monitoring him.
They made a late swoop for his signature in the last transfer window, but Villa stood their ground and turned down some really good offers for his signature.
The midfielder would be out of contract in the summer, and Mikel Arteta’s side could return for his signature.
Gerrard knows he is a top talent and understands the interest, but Villa remains committed to keeping him.

Have you been following what’s going on at Yale? I haven’t, because I’m 35 years old and didn’t go there. But James Ho, a Trump-appointed judge who sits on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, has, and he’s pissed. So pissed, in fact, that he has announced in a speech on Thursday that he will no longer hire any clerks from Yale Law School, and is encouraging other judges to do the same.
According to National Review, which broke the story, Ho was upset about a string of recent events at the university where students disrupted conservative speakers, and another incident last year in which the administration censured a member of the campus chapter of the Federalist Society for inviting classmates to a party at his “trap house.”
“Yale not only tolerates the cancellation of views, it actively practices it,” Ho said in his address. Per NR, his remarks continued:
“We’re not just citizens. We’re also customers. Customers can boycott entities that practice cancel culture. . . . I wonder how a law school would feel, if my fellow federal judges and I stopped being its customers. Instead of millions of customers, there are only 179 authorized federal circuit judgeships, and 677 authorized federal district judgeships.”
Ho is mad at the ways in which some students at a private college campus are using their speech to criticize other people’s speech, and so his response is to actually ban anyone from that law school from working in his specific fiefdom of the federal government. It’s a pretty nice illustration of the gulf between what “cancel culture” looks like on television and what it means in practice in 2022.

CBS Sports’ Ben Jacobs argues that Arsenal was still on top of their game against Tottenham even when both teams had 11 men on the pitch.
Arsenal beat the Lilywhites 3-1 this afternoon, and one of the turning points in the game was the sending off of Emerson Royal.
Spurs would feel they could have gotten at least a point from the fixture if they didn’t play the closing stages a man down.
However, Jacobs followed the game and insists Arsenal was on top even before the Lilywhites went a man down.

TV Journalist Dan Walker has seen enough of this Arsenal team to now ask the question are Arsenal title contenders?
He posed the question after watching the Gunners end Tottenham’s unbeaten start to the season with a 3-1 win this afternoon.
Mikel Arteta’s side is the early pacesetters in the league, but there were doubts in some quarters before this game commenced.
This is because Spurs were unbeaten and United defeated the Gunners in their first game against a fellow top-six side.
Arsenal rose to the occasion and shocked their doubters with a commanding performance.

Earlier this week, two West Texas men—one of whom was a former warden of a migrant detention center—were arrested and charged with manslaughter in the death of a Mexican national who had recently crossed over the border. An affidavit filed by a Texas Ranger alleged that Michael Sheppard, the now-former warden, and his brother Mark, came across a group of 13 Mexican migrants drinking from a reservoir on Tuesday, while driving their truck through a sparsely inhabited area south of the town of Sierra Blanca. When the Sheppards saw the group, the affidavit alleged, “The driver leaned on the hood of the vehicle and fired two shots from a firearm at the group,” and then “re-entered the vehicle and fled the scene.”
Two people were shot—one man died at the scene, and a woman was transported to a hospital in El Paso with a stomach wound. According to the affidavit, members of the group told federal agents who responded to the shooting that “they overheard one of the males shout something in Spanish to the effect of, ‘Come out you sons of bitches, little asses!’ then revved the engine of the truck.” That was when the shooting started.
The two brothers told investigators that they had been in the area, and they had fired shots, but maintained that they’d shot at animals—the story changed from grouse, to ducks, to javelinas—and that they didn’t believe it was at the same location as the shooting. Curiously, they neglected to check to see whether they had actually shot anything, and instead quit their hunting expedition to attend a county water board meeting.
But according to Marfa Public Radio, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has found his own culprit for the shooting of two migrants: President Joe Biden. Per MPR:
In a statement, a spokesperson for Gov. Greg Abbott’s office called the shooting a “terrible tragedy” and said “violence of any kind will not be tolerated in Texas,” but also tied the shooting to the president’s border policies.
