Arsenal are increasingly confident of clinching a deal to bring Dani Ceballos to the Emirates.

Ceballos is preparing to leave Real Madrid, Arsenal's next pre-season tour opponents, this summer but only on loan as he and the Spanish giants believe he has a long-term future at the Bernabeu.

Such a deal would suit Arsenal who are in the market for a central midfielder after losing Aaron Ramsey on a free to Juventus but are having to work on a tight budget this summer.

And belief is growing that Ceballos will be that man, despite interest in the highly-rated 22-year-old from their north London rivals Tottenham.

Landing Ceballos temporarily would allow head coach Unai Emery to fill the Ramsey void without having to splash out a transfer fee, allowing him to divert his transfer funds elsewhere.

Many would wonder how she copes with the basic luxuries living in a house affords, such as having a bathroom and a toilet.

In one of her videos, Jennelle explained that she sometimes looks for a socially acceptable open place where she can bathe but she prefers to bathe at a gym bathroom.

She added that she has been doing that everyday for close to two years.

Basically, living in a van like Jannelle is more like being on a road trip every day of her life because she can easily move locations and her ‘house’ is not a permanent site.

The newly released Beyonce album; “Lion King, The Gift Album” just got released and it is causing already insane reactions here in Africa, Nigeria especially.

The reason for this reactions is pretty simple, and it is because some of the biggest African music superstars have been featured on the album, especially the Nigerian ones.

Wizkid, Burna Boy, Tekno, Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage and Mr Eazi are the Nigerian music ambassadors who are on the album. And with their appearances being applauded and adored by Nigerian music fans, it hasn’t still being able to escape disappointment, argument and ridicule as one Nigerian music big name is missing from the list.

In a situation whereby the biggest music artistes in Nigeria are getting picked for a hugely important music project, it is expected that if only two artistes are going to be picked, it has to be Davido and Wizkid because evidently they are the greatest music exports in the history of Nigerian music.
