\u2014<\/p>\n
\u26a1 Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko Transfer Twist<\/p>\n
Just when Arsenal fans thought Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s move to the Emirates was dead and buried, Arteta threw in a surprise twist.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s just say nothing\u2019s over until it\u2019s over. \u0160e\u0161ko is a player we rate highly. The situation has changed in the last 24 hours,\u201d the boss teased.<\/p>\n
