Arsenal ‘launch £25m bid’ to seal Smalling transfer from Man Utd

-
Arsenal have reportedly launched a bid to sign Manchester United centre-back Chris Smalling.

The United defender has had a standout season on loan at Roma this season, helping the Series A side into the last 16 of the Europa League and to fifth place in the league.

The England international has been widely tipped to make his Roma switch permanent, but United now also have an offer on the table from the Gunners, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Roma were hoping to land Smalling for £20million but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to secure £25million for the 30-year-old.
 Arsenal have already signed young Saint-Etienne centre-back William Saliba, who is due to join the rest of the squad this summer, but Mikel Arteta wants to add more experience to his defence.

Along with Smalling, Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano and Frankfurt’s Evan N’Dicka are also thought to be on Arteta’s radar.

United will reportedly allow Smalling to leave if they can lure Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli.

That bad boy comes complete with a triple rear camera setup (each of which are 12-megapixels) and a telephoto lens. Your pictures have never looked better.  But even though Apple has upped the ante in terms of hardware, it's highly unlikely you'll upload a picture to social media without slightly altering at least some part of it.  Luckily, there are some great alternatives to settling for those basic Instagram filters or sticking to the built-in camera tools. Because every single one of us needs all the "likes" we can get. And because #nofilter is no longer a thing.  Here are six of the best iPhone photo-editing apps to d

Despite Trump’s claims, Google isn’t building the coronavirus screening site — and it’s not ready

  In a press conference at the White House, President Trump today announced that 1,700 Google engineers were working on a coronavirus screening site. That site was supposedly the first step in a new screening process that would lead people from figuring out if their symptoms warranted more testing to the location of new “drive through” testing stations. But Trump was wrong. This screening site isn’t being developed by Google . Instead, it’s being built by Verily , Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either. While both share the same parent company in Alphabet, these are two very different companies. In addition, as Verily noted in a statement it provided almost three hours after Trump made the announcement, this site isn’t quite ready yet. “Verily is developing a tool to help triage individuals for COVID-19 testing. We are in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more
