'Are the ones coming in better?'

Cristhian Mosquera has rejected Valencia’s improved contract offer and has told the club he wants to join Arsenal this summer, according to reports in Spain.

Arsenal submitted a €14 million (£12.1m) bid for the 21-year-old last week but their offer was rejected.

Valencia have offered Mosquera a new contract until 2028 with a progressive salary increase, however, Las Provincas report that the centre-back has responded by telling the Spanish club that he wants to make the move to Arsenal.

Mosquera has a year remaining on his contract with Valencia and the club are holding out for a deal worth closer to €20m (£17.3m).

It’s understood that Mosquera was initially keen on extending his contract with Valencia but their delay in offering him a new deal allowed Arsenal to convince him to join Mikel Arteta’s side.

Mosquera has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal and is now waiting for the club to finalise a transfer fee with Valencia.

Mosquera is currently on holiday after playing for Spain at the European Under-21 Championship last month.

The defender made three appearances for Spain as his side were knocked out by England in the quarter final.

Mosquera started in all but one of Valencia’s La Liga matches last season as the club finished 12th in La Liga.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are expected to complete a £15m deal to sign Brentford captain Christian Norgaard, as well as a £55m move for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

On Tuesday, Arsenal completed a £5m deal to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea.

Arteta’s side are also stepping up their efforts to sign Eberechi Eze, who is keen on a move. The 27-year-old has a £68m release clause in his contract with Crystal Palace.

This led to the harrowing jump rope scene

'Call me - you have my f*cking phone, it's so weird'

Cold fronts will bring heavy rain, snow, strong winds, and very cold conditions to parts of SA from Thursday to Sunday.

Frances Tiafoe was accused of abusing the ATP’s bathroom break rules during his Wimbledon defeat to Cameron Norrie.

Great Britain’s Norrie came through an entertaining second-round match against America’s Tiafoe, winning 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-5 in just under three hours.

World number 12 Tiafoe started strongly but lost his way in the second and third sets and requested a toilet break after falling behind.

But it took a while for Tiafoe to make his way off court, with the 27-year-old searching for a fresh shirt and trainers in his bag before being ushered off Court One by an official.

Players are permitted two bathroom breaks in best-of-five matches at Grand Slams and rules state they are allowed three minutes, and an extra two if they need to change clothes.

There was almost eight minutes between the end of the third set and the start of the fourth and BBC commentators Andrew Castle and John Lloyd criticised Tiafoe for abusing the rule.

‘It looks like he’s going to go off the court but he’s taking a long time making his mind up,’ former Australian Open finalist Lloyd said.

‘He can’t go off now, he’s already taken three minutes here. You can’t wait that long before going off. If you have to go off you go off straightaway.

‘I think this is unfair. If you have a bathroom break, you go immediately. Get off!

‘We’ve seen it before with players going off when they’re trailing and they play completely different afterwards. Maybe that’s what he needed but I don’t agree with this at all, I think it’s wrong.’

As Norrie continued to wait for Tiafoe to return to the court, Lloyd added: ‘This is ridiculous, I’m sorry, but this is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

‘The momentum of the game is gone. We had the French Open final go on for over five hours and there wasn’t one bathroom break.

‘Let’s put it this way, he wouldn’t have taken that long if he was ahead.’

Former British number one Castle added: ‘I’m not sure what the umpire can do but I actually think this is unfair on his opponent.

‘He’s not going to the loo is he, he’s taken new shirt and trainers. Maybe we should get an ironing board and a laundry back there too. I think this is actually very questionable.’

Norrie did not let the lengthy break get to him, winning the fourth and final set 7-5 to book a third-round clash against Jiri Lehecka or Mattia Bellucci.

After sealing his first win over a top-20 player at Wimbledon, the former British number one said: ‘It was an amazing atmosphere and we both played a really high level.

‘I just stayed calm and played point by point. It was so nice to play Frances at such a big match. I served really well in that last game and you guys we were amazing in that last game so thank you.

‘It’s so special playing here. You forget so quickly. You just feel goose bumps. It’s such a special court and such a special tournament.

‘I just walked out and smiled as much as I could. And then you have to go out to battle. I was really happy with my level today.’
