Is it once again time to ask what they're smoking over there at the Emirates? Earlier this week, it was claimed that Arsenal are hoping to sign Curtis Jones, which, if true, would be quite incredible.
And not because the idea that Mikel Arteta might want the Liverpool ace is far-fetched. On the contrary, the Spaniard's supposed interest would make perfect sense; Jones is precisely the kind of No.8 the Gunners are sorely lacking in midfield right now.
What's difficult to believe is that the north Londoners would be so naive as to think that Liverpool might actually entertain selling a player that is belatedly proving why he has been on the club's books since the age of nine.
Indeed, the now-23-year-old Jones is one of Jurgen Klopp's most in-form players ahead of Sunday's FA Cup third-round trip to the Emirates.
