- The Frenchman has fallen from the club's pecking order after months on the sidelines

Samuel Umtiti has insisted he wants to stay at Barcelona despite being linked with Premier League side Arsenal.

The France international has been plagued with series of knee problems in recent months and has lost his place to fellow countryman Clement Lenglet.

Lenglet has stepped up his game while Umtiti was recovering on the sidelines, casting doubts over Umtiti's long term future at the Camp Nou.

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.

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
