TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United have joined the race to sign striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer, The Sun on Sunday reports. The 28-year-old left Everton earlier this week after nine years at Goodison Park, following the expiry of his contract. He isn’t expected to remain a free agent for too long, with Man United boss Ruben Amorim keen on snapping him up to play alongside new arrival Matheus Cunha. Calvert-Lewin, an England international, played 240 times in the Premier League for Everton, scoring 57 goals, but was consistently dogged by injury problems.
– Arsenal believe next week could be crucial in deciding the future of striker target Viktor Gyökeres, who is threatening to go on strike at Sporting CP, the Daily Mirror has revealed. The Sweden international is due to report for preseason training in the coming days, but could refuse to do so in order to facilitate his “dream” move to the Emirates this summer. The Gunners are hopeful that such a move could force Sporting to lower their asking price for Gyökeres, as no official offer has been tabled by any club at this stage. Record reports that Gyökeres has rejected advances from Al Qadisiyah and Al Hilal, while A Bola says a deal could be completed quickly if Arsenal offer €70 million plus €10 million in variables.
– Ethan Nwaneri is in talks over a new contract with Arsenal but he’s reluctant to sign without reassurances over game time this season. Fabrizio Romano reports that Chelsea are now showing an interest in the 18-year-old, and are ready to make their move if negotiations drag out. The two clubs are already in discussions over a deal for Noni Madueke, with the England international set to move to the Emirates.
– Besiktas have agreed on a deal to sign midfielder Jens Cajuste on loan from Napoli, Fabrizio Romano reports. The Turkish club will pay an initial €1 million loan fee for the 25-year-old, who could make the switch permanently at the end of the campaign if certain conditions are met. Cajuste has been authorized by Napoli to travel to Turkey complete his medical, having spent last season on loan at Ipswich Town.
COMPLETED DEALS
– Arsenal have completed the signing of Spain midfielder Martín Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. The north London club beat opposition from top European outfits after triggering Zubimendi’s €60 million release clause.
