Bahebeck 'a little scared but all is well'

Despite admitting to feeling "a little scared", Saint-Etienne forward Jean-Christophe Bahebeck has been reassured about his health.

Saint-Etienne forward Jean-Christophe Bahebeck has been given "reassuring news" about his health after being rushed to hospital with chest pains during Sunday's 2-1 Ligue 1 victory over Bastia.

Paris Saint-Germain loanee Bahebeck was substituted at half-time, with no cause for his removal given by the club's official channels at the time.

A statement later on Sunday confirmed: "After feeling chest discomfort during the match, Jean-Christophe Bahebeck was hospitalised to undergo further investigations."

But Bahebeck subsequently moved to reassure fans via his Twitter account.

"Hi twittos. Reassuring news about my health. A little scared but all is well.

"Thank you all for your messages..."

The game was played out in temperatures of more than 30 degrees Celsius at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Dinamo Moscow announce Vainqueur switch to Roma

Midfielder William Vainqueur is set to leave Dinamo Moscow for Roma, the Russian Premier League club have announced.

Dinamo Moscow have revealed midfielder William Vainqueur has joined Serie A giants Roma.

Vainqueur's departure was announced by Dinamo on their official website, although Roma have yet to confirm their capture of the 26-year-old.

The Frenchman moved to Moscow in 2014 after three seasons in Belgium with Standard Liege.

"Midfielder William Vainqueur has moved to Roma," Dinamo announced. "Thank you William, and good luck at your new club."

Vainqueur's move to Stadio Olimpico strengthens Roma's squad further following the recent arrivals of Edin Dzeko and Lucas Digne.

Ceballos uninterested in Real Madrid rumours

Amid rumours of interest from Real Madrid, Dani Ceballos insists his immediate future is at Real Betis.

Highly rated Real Betis midfielder Dani Ceballos says he wants to stay at the Estadio Benito Villamarin despite reported interest from Real Madrid.

The 19-year-old Betis man was part of Spain's UEFA European Under-19 Championship winning side earlier this year and also played a key role in Pepe Mel's squad during the club's promotion back to La Liga.

Mel has previously played down suggestions of Ceballos leaving for the Santiago Bernabeu - despite the youngster having only one year left on his contract.

And now the player himself says he is keen to remain at Betis.

"They are only rumours, what I want is to stay at Betis," Ceballos told AS.

"I want to continue at Betis and enjoy these fans for many years. They trust me because I have never failed them,

"I have always given everything for this shirt and I only think about returning all of the affection that I have received from the Beticos."

Motta thankful for Di Maria arrival

Thiago Motta has thanked Paris Saint-Germain for bringing Angel di Maria to the club.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta believes Angel di Maria will prove his quality in Ligue 1 and has thanked the club's owners for bringing the Argentina international to the Parc des Princes.

Di Maria made his PSG debut in Sunday's 3-0 win over Monaco at the Stade Louis II - providing an assist for Ezequiel Lavezzi after Edinson Cavani had scored twice.

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid man Di Maria had to wait three games to make his debut for the French champions but Motta is convinced of the 27-year-old's quality.

"He is a great player. Everyone knows it," explained Motta.

"He is a great player with experience and great quality. I'm sure he will show his quality for the team. With him, we are stronger. 

"We have to thank the club for signing a player of the level of Angel. I think it's good for Paris Saint-Germain."

Motta ended speculation over his future last week by agreeing a new two-year extension to his deal in the French capital.

"I've always been quiet and now I am more so because I know that I will stay at Paris Saint-Germain for two more years," he added.

"Along with my team-mates, I will try to give 200 per cent."
