    Rosicky's Arsenal future in doubtpublished at 12:34 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2016

    Football

    The Daily Mail reports, external that Tomas Rosicky's thigh injury could be worse than first thought following scans.

    The 35-year-old Arsenal midfielder, whose contract expires this summer, suffered an upper leg injury in his first appearance in seven months against Burnley on Saturday.

    It was originally thought that he would miss around a month with the setback but Arsenal are concerned that the Czech could miss a longer period and his Gunners career may be at an end.

    Alex Teixeira didn't get the move to Liverpool that he wanted, but it seems the Brazilian won't be staying at Shakhtar Donetsk anyway.

    The mega money on offer in the Chinese Super League looks to have swayed him and, more importantly his club, who were looking for £39 million for the forward.

    It's a huge amount of money for someone who is yet to even make his international debut, but it seems someone is willing to pay it. A deal seems likely to be done in the next couple of days.
