Arsenal manager Unai Emery is backing Petr Cech to keep his place in Arsenal's starting XI to face Chelsea in next week’s Europa League final.

According to The Mirror, Cech, was reportedly offered the role of sporting director at Chelsea for when he bows out at the end of the campaign.

However, the news raised concern ahead of Arsenal's Europa League showdown final with Chelsea in Baku, with some section of fans citing conflict of interest could be at work.

Cech took to the social media in a bid to calm frayed nerves saying: "Despite the news today as I had already said to everybody before I'll make decision about my future after the last game. Now my sole focus is to win the Europa League with Arsenal."

Interestingly, the former Chelsea shot-stopper is no longer Arsenal's first choice, but has been starting ahead of German goalie Bernd Leno in the Europa League and is set to continue in his last game for the Gunners.

And Emery insists on Wednesday that Cech will start for Arsenal against Chelsea in Europa League final game.

Speaking further, the Spaniard, who has previously won the Europa League is eyeing a return to the Champions League hammered on the importance of beating London rival Chelsea to the trophy.

"We want and we feel this competition as an important competition for us.

"We want to feel a special moment, and this is a special moment. We want to enjoy it, whether it's very far or not for the supporters. The match is the same importance.

"I think it's very special in two ways. One is because it's a derby we are going to play away but we are going to feel the same.

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. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

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
