Sampdoria are optimistic Samuel Eto'o will join them this month, despite the Cameroon forward failing so far to reach an agreement with Everton to leave the club.

American Dustin Johnson denies he has had a drug problem but admits "drinking to excess" is an issue he had to address.

In July, the 30-year-old said he was taking time out from the game to confront "personal challenges" and as a result missed the Ryder Cup.

It was reported by Golf.com that Johnson was serving a six-month ban after testing positive for cocaine.

"I did not have a problem," he told Sports Illustrated magazine when asked specifically about the drug. "I have issues. But that's not the issue."

He added: "Like everyone I'm tested regularly by the Tour and as far as that's concerned ... I haven't failed anything. I would drink and drink to excess. The change I made is I just don't do that any more."

It is not only new signings that Manchester United are thinking about this month - they're also preoccupied with rodents.

According to the Daily Mail,, external the club is dealing with a mice infestation at Old Trafford.

The paper says it has seen a hygiene report which reveals the club is 'working with pest control contractors to monitor problems with rodents in the North and South stands'.

It is certainly true that mice have been spotted on the pitch before, even during games. The one below, for instance - and apologies for those with a mouse phobia - was running around during a Premier League match between the Red Devils and Bolton in 2008. Fortunately he avoided the studs of 22 grown men and lived to tell the tale.

A 12-year-old called Stephan White has become something of a cult hero after telling Chinese keeper Wang Dalei which way to dive before he faced a penalty from Saudi Arabia's Naif Hazazi. Dalei saved it, and crucial it was too as China won their AFC Asian Cup group stage match in Brisbane 1-0.

White, an Aussie, was surrounded by media and even invited to meet the Chinese team after his intervention.

His mother Suzie has revealed that her son has been selected as ballboy again for tomorrow's quarter-final between Australia and China... but that he has been told he will not be stationed behind either goal in case of another penalty being awarded.
