Arsenal are ready to spend £75 million on three new signings even before Mikel Arteta

is officially appointed as manager, according to reports.

The 26-year-old is the leading candidate to replace Arsene Wenger and is reportedly set

for talks with the Gunners hierarchy this week.

But Arsenal's head of recruitment Sven Mislintat is continuing to press on with transfer negotiations

and is aiming for his three deals to be concluded by June 1.

The report claims that Arsenal are on the verge of completing a £15 million move for

Borussia Dortmund centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

The Greek international is available for a cheaper fee as he has just one year remaining

on his contract with Dortmund and has told the Bundesliga club that he will not renew.

Arsenal are also far down the line in talks for Freiburg's central defender Caglar Soyuncu,

Manchester City and Roma have been 'left trailing' by the speed of Mislintat's

negotiations.

The Turkish defender is set to cost Arsenal £35m.

Mislintat is also looking for a long-term replacement for Petr Cech and has identified

Bayer Leverkusen's Bernd Leno.

The 26-year-old is said to be keen on a move to Arsenal, and the Gunners are prepared to

spend £25m.

Who is LEO TAMAKI - Ep 53 - Paris/France - Duration: 6:41.

Hello! How are you?

it's 4.30am

and i m going in Paris to meet

a friend of mine, that will one day be a great master

and is already very advanced

in martial arts

he is someone that i appreciate for his vision of art

and for his quest in martial arts

so today i bring you with me to meet

Leo Tamaki

i was first attracted by classical dance

then my mother wanted me to do something related to my father's culture

so i started with Judo

then i did some Kungfu and Karate

and as i was thinking of becoming professional in karate

i started Aikido and i met Tamura sensei

and i was totally amazed

after a few months i stopped karate

and totally dived into Aikido

i went to Japan where i also met some other great masters of other disciplines

then i came back to France to teach Aikido

i founded a school named Kishinkai

and we have now a little more than 30 dojos in 8 different countries

we have a lot of questions

why am i here, life, death

in the martial art practice you need to

at the moment it is right

first it can be in a high intensity training

but you can also do it in a calm moment

to be in the now, in the present moment

and this ability to be in the now

gives you a quality of being

that makes you appreciate and live

more intense everything

at the beginning it's in one technique

and after it's in all of them, during all the class

and then it overflows

it's this quality of presence with yourself

and to the world

that i reached to work in martial arts

shining on every moment

that leads me to continue

in the ancient Japan

the medieval Japan

training were secrets

so the schools didn't show the other schools what they were working on

and you could have an advantage by doing something unexpected

so if you want to survive in these conditions where something unexpected can happen

you need to have a presence to the now

and not project yourself

do not limitate yourself to some stimulis

what inspire me the most today

are the artists outside the martial arts world

i went to see Keith Jarrett many times

i went to the theater to see Al Pacino, Forest Whittaker

Placido Domingo at the opera

Wynton Marsalis

these are people that

put themselves in danger, they get naked

and take risks

when i see someone like Keith Jarrett that

made his goal not to do the same things twice

it's unbelievable

the presence that he needs to have

the consciousness of the now

my name is Bilal and i m a singer in a choral (Titan village)

and i wanted to know what helps you the most

if it's your musical studies

or the experience that you learned on your way

Hello Bilal, very good question!

in martial arts it's the same

you can learn katas and things like this

to me these are very important tools

to have something really scholar

to work on your scales

but it is also really important

to explore

to put all this under stress situation

by opening more and more the window of your perception

what will make you appropriate things

to see that they can work outside your routine

and this is this go and come back that is important, it's a mistake to think

that you can finished one and you can just go to the second one

the 2 are feeding from each others

classical studies,

orthodox

experience

fredom, experimentation

all of theses are feeding from each others

you have to get motivation when you go to meet a martial artist

you need to wake up at 4am when the streets still empty

and take the very first metro

this is again the Travelinmelody's life

i wake up at 4am

i go to sleep at 3am and i wake up at 4...

October movie review: The real winner here is writer Juhi Chaturvedi - Duration: 4:27.

October movie review: Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu starrer October reminds you strongly of last year's The Big Sick

October movie cast: Varun Dhawan, Banita Sandhu, Gitanjali Rao October movie director: Shoojit Sircar October movie rating: Two and a half stars There are several things about October that demand appreciation, the chief of which is that this film has been written, not constructed

The real winner here, by miles, is the writer Juhi Chaturvedi. Two hotel management trainees, Dan (Dhawan) and Shiuli (Sandhu) forge an unlikely bond in the most trying of circumstances

The film is a gentle unfolding of love and loss and longing, and takes its time getting to where it's headed

Calling it slow would be to entirely miss the point, because the rhythms of life cannot be fast-forwarded

In a Bollywood still all at sea when it comes to credible relationship dramas, it's good to see attention being paid to life's wholly unexpected stutters and halts, where background music is not used as a crutch, and whose young people interact with each pretty much the way the young do: the film is set in Delhi, a city director Shoojit Sircar is familiar with, and that adds to the feeling of welcome realism

Equally crucial, the film tells us that romance doesn't necessarily have to play out in the metric of song-and-dance-and-high-pitched-melodrama; that it can be low-key, and unusual, can be conducted through speaking glances, rather than words

October reminds you strongly of last year's The Big Sick whose two lead protagonists find themselves spending large chunks of their time in a hospital, she beset by a serious illness, and he trying to figure out stuff

October has a young man trying to figure out stuff, too: this is Dhawan's most life-like character till now (his last outing was Judwaa 2 in which he plays a version of himself, aping Salman Khan via Govinda)

Dan is a fairly trying fellow, always reluctant to buckle down and do the back-breaking scutwork that comes with his territory, always trying to cut corners

His realization that he may have meant something more than just an irritating colleague to the limpid eyed Shiuli is a bit sudden, but we let it go, because we get drawn into the world of hospitals and artificial lights and life support systems, where the two are ably supported by solid performers

There are strong moments here, almost making us forget that we never quite know why Dan behaves in such a surly, entitled fashion, but that's a crucial hole

As Shiuli's suffering yet stoic mother, Gitanjali Rao shows us the pain of a woman who doesn't know what's right, but also knows the power of love

She shares the film's most moving scene with Dan's mother (Rachica Oswal, in a terrific walk-on part) where the two women speak of children, growing up, and responsibility, and how it can mean different things to different people

There's such a strong connection between these two women who've met for the first time, and may never meet again

Ironically, the thing between Dan and Shiuli, built up through the film, never has this much feeling

Also Read | October movie release LIVE UPDATES: Review, audience reaction and more Sandhu is lovely and tender

It is a wonderful debut. And yet, despite all these astutely done bits and bobs, October doesn't come as together as have the two earlier ventures of Sircar and Chaturvedi, Vicky Donor and Piku

That's squarely down to Dhawan, whose stardom is clearly a double-edged sword: it is both an advantage and a weak link

From Badlapur on, it's clear that Dhawan wants to stretch himself and do all kinds of roles

Which is great, because films like October will go out widely because of Dhawan, but it also leads to a kind of dilution

Through October, you see glimpses of Dan, but you can also see the effort showing: Dhawan's ability to fully disappear into a part is still a work-in-progress

I liked much of October, but didn't fall in love with it. Share your thoughts

✅ Professor Green is on a mission to define masculinity. The 34-year-old rap star was raised by his - Duration: 2:36.

Professor Green is on a mission to define masculinity. The 34-year-old rap star was raised by his grandmother after his mother abandoned him and his father committed suicide, but Pro has admitted that his unusual upbringing left him feeling deprived of a masculine identity

The London-born musician has recently agreed to write a column for The Book Of Man, which hopes to help men who are stressed and confused about their own identity

Pro - whose real name is Stephen Manderson - explained: ''I've decided to write this column to explore all things relative to masculinity - including femininity

What I hope to achieve is what defines, not being a man, but masculinity - to explore just how limiting or expansive it can be

''My intentions are to be painfully honest, although I do question why honesty has to be painful and the truth has to hurt

''Pro - whose three-year marriage to reality TV star Millie Mackintosh ended in 2016 - grew up amid deprived circumstances and has admitted to lacking a positive male role model in his life

The 'Read All About It' hitmaker described himself as a ''fatherless, early school leaving (not one single GCSE), music and more recently documentary making; book writing; ex drug dealing; dog loving; caring; careless; self loathing; cat disliking (hate is too strong a word); drinking and drug taking; self doubting; over thinking; impulsive; impatient; sensitive; emotional; strong (at times); weak (at others); sufferer of depression and above all, my most defining quality, but I had to think about it; I'd probably say, anxious

man? ''The question mark is there because I'm not quite sure what makes you (or me) a man

''In recent years, Pro has explored projects outside of the music industry, including writing his autobiography 'Lucky' and presenting a BBC documentary called 'Suicide and Me', which focused on his dad's suicide
