Singapore’s National Stadium is the setting for Arsenal’s first pre-season tour fixture, as the Gunners clash with AC Milan in Wednesday’s blockbuster friendly. Mikel Arteta summoned 30 players for the jaunt to Asia, but new signing Noni Madueke is not among them, as the ex-Chelsea man is still recovering from his Club World Cup exploits. As Viktor Gyokeres was also not signed in time for the tour, and Gabriel Jesus remains out of contention with his ACL injury, Arteta should turn to a fit-again Kai Havertz to lead the line in Kallang. The Germany international is now fully recovered from…
This afternoon, Emerson Royal’s openness to a transfer to Besiktas. The Brazilian full-back, who did not even leave for the pre-season tour with the rest of the team, is on his way out of the Rossoneri club, which he had only joined last summer, as relayed via Milannews.it. A disastrous season has put him on the list of players available for transfer, and now both the club and the entourage of the former Tottenham player are working to find the best destination.

Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson remains a genuine option for AC Milan in their striker hunt, and they enquired with his agent today. Milan’s desire to sign a new centre-forward is well-known and their interest in Jackson has long since been established. However, Fabrizio Romano stated on his YouTube channel recently that the costs of the deal made it a dead end. “We can almost cross Nicolas Jackson’s name off AC Milan’s attacking squad because Chelsea don’t intend to lower his price to an affordable one. The starting value is around €100m, which could even drop to €85-90m, but these are impossible…

A 26-man squad for the games was named, and the likes of Emerson Royal and Tommaso Pobega among those missing. Pobega is expected to complete a transfer to Bologna soon, while the exclusion of the Brazilian full-back makes it very clear that he is not a part of the plans. He hasn’t been since the winter window…
Rasmus Hojlund has ended up on AC Milan’s list of striker targets and Manchester United are open to loaning him, a report claims. As Calciomercato.com recall, it was the summer of 2023 when United swooped in for Hojlund, offering Atalanta the monstrous sum of €74m plus €10m in bonuses for total of €84m for a player who, in one season in Serie A, had scored nine goals plus one in the Coppa Italia. It seemed like the start of a great story for the Dane, but over the past two years, he hasn’t convinced enough. The arrivals of Cunha and…

Madueke arrives in North London having been part of Chelsea’s successful FIFA Club World Cup campaign and joins the club in a deal worth £52m. Andrea Berta played a significant role in completing the deal with Premier League rivals Chelsea and the player adds pace and versatility to Mikel Arteta’s forward options.

The Dallas Mavericks will finish their Summer League play on Friday, as the team caught a glimpse of certain players. One player who has stood out this summer is Maxwell Lewis. The former Los Angeles Lakers wing led the team with 23 points on Wednesday. It was clear he had NBA experience, and his recent performance could potentially earn him a spot on the Mavs’ roster if he keeps the positive momentum rolling. Just like Lewis, Cooper Flagg had a dominant Summer League performance. He dropped 31 points and shot 47.6 percent from the field in his second game, as…
