Brazilian giants Flamengo announced the signing of midfielder Jorginho on Friday, after Arsenal confirmed a mutual agreement had been reached to end his contract with immediate effect.

Former Chelsea winger Willian believes new signing Estêvão could be as good as Lamine Yamal and can help the club win titles again for years to come.

Julien Laurens slams Neymar for a deliberate handball that saw him pick up a second yellow card in Santos' 1-0 defeat to Botafogo.

Neymar's attempt to emulate the Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" goal backfired on Sunday when he was sent off in what could be his last Santos game.

Neymar, who rejoined his boyhood club Santos in January on a five-month contract, becomes a free agent on June 30. The club are keen for him to stay.
