Arsenal table £14m bid for top La Liga goalie as Petr Cech replacement

- Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas is set to quit the Santiago Bernabeu this January

- Arsenal have reportedly offered £14m for the 32-year-old goalkeeper who has hinted fans he could be on the move

- Bernd Leno’s place could be under threat if Navas arrives after winning three consecutive UCL titles with Real Madrid

Premier League campaigners Arsenal have tabled a £14m bid to sign Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas in the ongoing winter transfer window.

According to UK Metro citing Spanish news channel Sport, Arsenal and Roma are in the running for the 32-year-old shot-stopper, with the north Londoners dwellers tabling an offer of £14m.

The Costa Rican has struggled for game time Thibaut Courtois’ arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The report further suggests Navas, who has 18 months left on his present contract at Real Madrid, is keen on leaving this January after failing to taste action since the second game of the campaign since August 2018.

Interestingly, Navas took to the social media to release a hint he could be on the move on New Year’s Day, after uploading an image of himself with Los Blancos fans along with a short message.

“Thanks for everything!”

Gunners move for Navas appears strange after Unai Emery splashed out £19.6m on Bernd Leno in the summer and was expected to bring in a quality centre-back instead this January.

However, Petr Cech is due to quit the club at the end of the campaign when his present deal expires, and Arsenal will be hoping Navas provide more competition for Leno ifthe deal sees the light of the day.

The German has had a mixed start to life in the English topflight since taking over goalkeeping responsibilities from Cech.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
