LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Victor Osimhen: the former Napoli striker is the marquee signing Arsenal dreams of securing to wrap up their transfer window. According to The Telegraph, the interest in the Nigerian player is linked to inquiries made by Galatasaray regarding Gabriel Martinelli—for whom the Gunners are asking €45 million—and Ethan Nwaneri, who is returning from a loan spell at Marseille.

Arsenal reportedly used these discussions as an opportunity to talk about Osimhen; the Turkish club had previously rejected a €130 million offer from Al-Hilal for the striker but showed a willingness to negotiate, particularly if the Gunners were to include one or more players of interest to the Istanbul side as part of the deal. So far, the English champions have already spent over €170 million to sign Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis, as well as to make Piero Hincapié’s move from Bayer Leverkusen permanent.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – The Armed Forces of Malta has deployed army personnel in Swieqi to work alongside the Police, strengthening the security presence in the locality during the night.

Swieqi is located very close to Paceville, Malta’s Mecca of nightlife, where large numbers of people gather at night. The area has also faced concerns linked to antisocial behaviour and the conduct of some tourists and visitors, particularly during late-night hours.

Swieqi Deputy Mayor Galea Pace said the deployment followed months of calls from the Local Council and residents for increased security measures.

He said the initiative was another step towards making Swieqi a place where residents feel safe and can live peacefully in their homes.

Galea Pace said the increased presence of Police and army personnel sent a clear message that antisocial behaviour in residential areas would not be ignored.

He also called for neighbouring localities to adopt a similar approach, arguing that security problems do not stop at Swieqi’s borders.

“Residents deserve to feel safe in their neighbourhood and, above all, they deserve to be able to sleep peacefully in their own homes,” he said.

Galea Pace thanked the Police and the Armed Forces of Malta for their cooperation and commitment on the ground.

He described the deployment as another step forward, while stressing that the Local Council’s work would continue.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – A thin layer of black volcanic ash covered cars, roofs and balconies across parts of northern Malta and Gozo as ash from Sicily’s Mount Etna drifted over the Maltese Islands.

Residents in various northern and central areas reported finding ash outside after winds carried volcanic material south from the erupting volcano.

The Met Office confirmed that weather conditions could allow further ash to fall over Malta, with the islands potentially remaining affected until Friday.

It said north-northeasterly winds higher in the atmosphere were carrying ash from Mount Etna across the central Mediterranean towards Malta.

“If the eruptions continue in the coming days, the ash cloud will continue to affect the Maltese islands till Friday,” the Met Office said.

It added that winds are expected to shift to a northwesterly direction by Saturday, carrying the ash further east of Malta.

Mount Etna has been erupting for several days, with the volcanic activity producing an ash cloud visible across parts of the region.

The ashfall prompted residents to recall previous episodes of volcanic ash reaching Malta.

Maltese Islands Weather also noted that ash reaching Malta has been documented during major eruptions in 1787, 1886 and 1892.
