Arsenal are set to enter the race for top prospect Matthijs De Ligt in the summer

The 19-year-old Ajax centre-back is reportedly wanted by Manchester City , Liverpool , Barcelona and Juventus

According to The Sun, the Gunners are now set to enter the race for a £75m-rated talent - but they'll need two things to happen to make the switch happen

The north London club will need to qualify for the Champions League and offload big earner Mesut Ozil in order to enable them to meet Ajax's valuation

The teenager is already captain of the Amsterdam club and has won 13 caps for the Netherlands, making him a man in demand

Read More Liverpool urged to snap up £75m defender to form 'best pairing in Europe' Whilst Premier League clubs are determined to land De Ligt, it appears clubs elsewhere may be in the best position to land the youngster

Barcelona will welcome his team-mate Frenkie De Jong in the summer, which could give them an advantage

Reports in Italy from Tuttosport, meanwhile, claim Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici travelled to Amsterdam last week in an attempt to lure De Ligt to Turin

Arsenal could have an edge if they land Marc Overmars as director of football, as he has worked closely with De Ligt, as has Gunners legend Denis Bergkamp at Ajax

CONCORDIA, MO KCTV Missouri Highway Patrol is requesting that drivers avoid Interstate 70 in Eastern Jackson and Lafayette Counties due to several vehicle slide offs and crashes.

Just before 1 p.m., Kansas City Scout tweeted: "Crashes involving multiple vehicles on I 70 at mile marker 58 near Concordia and mile marker 29 near Bates City have closed WB I 70."

About an hour later, they said that delays were up to six hours.

Twenty vehicles were involved in the crash in Concordia. Six tractor trailers were involved.

Two people were hurt in the crash and their conditions are unknown.

When the crash happened, it was during near whiteout conditions.

I 70 was shut down completely for hours.

By 6 p.m. on Friday, crews were still working to clear the highway. However, the eastbound lanes had reopened and one westbound lane had reopened.

Crews had to move barrels off the road, which came off of a vehicle during the crash.

Collin Stosberg with the Missouri Highway Patrol said the concern now is the freezing conditions.

If you do find yourself in a crash or in a slide off its important that you stay inside your vehicle. If youre on the road, thats the worst place you can be. So, get off the road and wait for help to get to you.

Update | Essential California The long fall for Californias bullet train Los Angeles Times

Good morning, and welcome to the Essential California . Its Thursday, Feb. 14, and heres whats happening across California:

TOP STORIES

It was billed as the most ambitious public works project since the transcontinental railroad opened up the West. But bite by bite, huge cost overruns, mismanagement, political concessions and delays ate away at the sleek and soaring vision of a bullet train linking San Francisco to San Diego. A project meant to drive home Californias role as the technological vanguard of the nation was looking more and more like a pepped up Amtrak route through the Central Valley. During his first State of the State address on Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he was scaling back the dollar 77 billion project. While his wording was open to interpretation, it signaled to many a death knell not necessarily of the project itself, but to that original dream.

Plus: After Newsom announced plans to scale back the high speed rail project, President Trump demanded that California return billions of dollars to the federal government. In a tweet Wednesday, Trump said the state had been forced to cancel the project and referred to it as a green disaster. Newsom fired back in his own tweet, decrying what he called fake news.

A closer look at the sheriffs numbers

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva says the jails he now supervises are a dangerous mess: Inmates increasingly are assaulting one another, staff members are suffering more attacks and use of force has gone way up. He also says that his immediate predecessor, Jim McDonnell, covered up data on the jail violence in order to hide the problem from the public. But many of the numbers Villanueva is using to make his case are known to be unreliable.

Cracking down on Huawei

The White House is preparing a sweeping executive order that could bar Chinese companies from selling equipment for use in future U.S. telecommunications networks, claiming Beijing could exploit the technology to carry out cyber intrusions and espionage. The main target of the draft order, expected to be released in days, is Huawei, the worlds largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer. The order would not affect U.S. consumer electronics companies whose products incorporate components from China.

L.A. STORIES

Wet weather: A storm that forecasters say is the strongest this winter created havoc in Northern California, then descended on Southern California.

Plus: Atmospheric rivers are pounding the state. What are they exactly?

The tide turns: Three of West Hollywoods five City Council members have called for Mayor John Duran to resign amid allegations that he sexually harassed fellow members of the Gay Mens Chorus of Los Angeles.

USC update: As federal regulators continue investigating USCs handling of a campus gynecologist accused of sexual abuse, the university is pressing forward with a dollar 215 million class action settlement with former patients.

A good Valentines Day read: Fall in love with the work of Yesika Salgado, a Salvadoran poet in Silver Lake.

IMMIGRATION AND THE BORDER

Headed to the clink: Drug lord Joaquin El Chapo Guzman twice escaped from prison in Mexico. With his conviction on drug trafficking and murder charges in U.S. federal court this week, he is likely headed to a much more secure facility: the so called Alcatraz of the Rockies.

POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT

Rough stuff: Michael Avenatti agreed to relinquish financial control of his longtime law firm hours after a former partner filed papers accusing him of hiding millions of dollars from the court that oversaw its bankruptcy.

A wild wall: Can Democrats prevent Trump from using his executive power to build a wall?

Gross: All that trash on Bay Area highways? Caltrans is under threat of fines if its not cleaned up.

CRIME AND COURTS

Big news: Los Angeles County supervisors this week narrowly approved tearing down the dungeon like Mens Central Jail downtown and building at least one mental health treatment facility in its place.

Manhunt ends: A man who was placed on the FBIs Ten Most Wanted list when he skipped bail after his arrest in connection with a series of sexual assaults in the Los Angeles area was shot and killed by federal agents in North Carolina, authorities said Wednesday.

Wild: Billionaire Henry T. Nicholas III was charged in Las Vegas with multiple counts of narcotics trafficking six months after police discovered heroin and meth in the Broadcom co founders massive suite at the Encore hotel.

Arrested: A 20 year old North Carolina man who federal authorities say is part of a hacker collective was arrested Tuesday and charged with threatening Southern California schools and Los Angeles International Airport.

Trouble in Fresno: Is Granite Park still cursed? The Fresno district attorney is reviewing an audit tied to a local developer and newly elected Rep. TJ Cox.

THE ENVIRONMENT

A helping hand: Gov. Newsom signed a pair of bills into law to immediately provide dollar 131.3 million in funding to expand access to clean drinking water, improve emergency preparedness and support wildfire ravaged communities.

CALIFORNIA CULTURE

RIP: Opportunity, the intrepid NASA rover that spent 15 years on Mars climbing in and out of craters to gather evidence of the planets watery past has been brought down by tiny particles of dust.

Laker trouble: Luke Waltons job is said to be safe, even as the Lakers keep losing games.

Be like Mike: LeBron James wants to own an NBA team.

Not just for the office pool: New Jersey has become the first state in the United States that will take legal Oscars bets.

Plus: How Hollywoods diversity push is also changing the makeup industry.

Troubling story: Musician Ryan Adams dangled success. Though the musician denies wrongdoing, women say they paid a price.

AND FINALLY

Todays California memory comes from Dorothy Daily:

Arroyo Seco Parkway, one of the first, if not the first, freeways. My mother drove our 1936 Dodge from Pasadena to downtown Los Angeles to do our annual school shopping. I dont think we passed more than two dozen cars. Of course it was wartime 1942 1944 and gas and tires were rationed. After shopping at the May Co. we had lunch at Cliftons cafeteria. My favorite was the orange sherbet.
