Arsene Wenger famously missed out on several targets at Arsenal. The Frenchman memorably wanted to sign Luis Suarez or Gonzalo Higuain in the summer of 2013, only to end up with neither. Arsenal also came close to signing N’Golo Kante with the 75-year-old at the helm, while the Gunners nearly landed Clarence Seedorf as well. Arsene Wenger also failed to sign Mikel Oyarzabal during his time at Arsenal, but the door to this move may now be opening after what Andrea Berta has done for Real Sociedad. Arsenal already had a decent relationship with the Spanish side, agreeing deals to…

Some notable messages arrived for Theo Hernandez from former Milan figures Paolo Maldini and Davide Calabria, adding to the sensation his move to Al-Hilal was a rebuke of the current club leaders. The left-back completed his transfer to the Saudi Pro League this afternoon for a reported fee of €20m plus bonuses. With his farewell statement on Instagram, the France international aimed a broadside at his now former club, accusing them of going in the wrong direction. “My decision to leave was not easy. I always knew where I wanted to stay, and Milan was always my priority. But, unfortunately,…

Arsenal are set for an unprecedented transfer window. Arsenal have released twenty players and are also looking for the permanent sales of Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson in order to balance their books. Andrea Berta’s ‘creativity’ with Oleksandr Zinchenko will be key to selling the Ukrainian international and whilst Arsenal’s £200m budget will enable them to sign some targets, outgoings are vital this summer. Deals for Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga are wrapped up but Arsenal remain locked in talks over Viktor Gyokeres. It is a deal the club are desperate to seal given the record Gyokeres would bring with…

As one fire gets put out, another one sparks right up in Lakerland. LeBron James signs an extension? That should be a win, but instead it becomes the juiciest stalking horse story of the year. Deandre Ayton arrives to bolster the frontcourt? Cue Rob Pelinka catching strays for quietly nudging Dorian Finney-Smith out the door. For a team still far from polished, you’d think the focus would be on basketball. But nope—the spotlight’s back on Luka Doncic. Will he commit long-term? Or will the Lakers end up writing love letters trying to justify why he should stay loyal? Luka “The…

The air in Los Angeles feels thicker than usual this summer. There’s a tension humming beneath the buzz of Hollywood glitz and championship dreams, centered on one question no one wants to say out loud. What if the Lakers’ biggest gamble isn’t just about money, but about something far harder to earn? Whispers are swirling around El Segundo, carrying a warning that could shake the franchise’s future. With Dodgers owner Mark Walter stepping in with Guggenheim, there’s now heightened pressure on the front office to prove they’ve earned respect from the players. It’s not just about talent or stats, it’s…

The Los Angeles Lakers signed Deandre Ayton for the upcoming NBA season, and Luka Doncic reportedly has a clear opinion about it. Aiming to improve on their 2024-25 NBA season performance, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking for ways to strengthen their roster. One of the first new additions is Deandre Ayton — and Luka Doncic reportedly has a strong take on that move. In a recent appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, NBA insider Jovan Buha shared details about Doncic’s reaction to his new teammate. “Luka, I’ve been told, was on board with Ayton coming in. He gave…

AC Milan’s Serie A match against Como in February could become the first European league fixture to be played abroad after plans to host the fixture in Australia were announced. Italy’s football federation (FIGC) revealed plans on Thursday to play the match in Perth. However, the fixture would need the approval from Fifa, Uefa, Football Australia and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). The FIGC said it has given a “positive opinion” to the Serie A plan, adding: “This brings closer what would be a historic ‘trip’ abroad for a Serie A match.” But it also acknowledged that the plan would…

Club Brugge chief Bob Madou insists Ardon Jashari’s proposed move to AC Milan is not guaranteed. The Switzerland midfielder is a top target for the Rossonero, but Madou says an agreement between the two clubs is a long way off. He told HLN: “We sat down to talk with Milan out of courtesy. And without talking about money. Everyone knows what Ardon did, but for us this isn’t the end of a cycle. I’m not saying we won’t make exceptions, but right now there’s no offer on the table that makes me think we should. “We’re assuming he’ll stay. We…

Saudi club, Al-Hilal, on Thursday signed AC Milan’s French full-back, Theo Hernandez, on a three-year contract. The 27-year-old leaves the Serie A side in a deal worth 25 million euros ($29.2 million), Italian media report. Hernandez has played 38 times for France with two goals, and figured in the last World Cup, including the defeat by Argentina on penalties in the 2022 final in Qatar. Moving to the Saudi Pro League a year before the next World Cup could be considered a risk for his chances of getting called up again by coach Didier Deschamps. But he can take encouragement…

Speculation has been increasing about Nicolas Jackson’s future with Chelsea, and the latest rumors have him firmly in the crosshairs of AC Milan. According to various sources in Italy, including Alfredo Pedullà and Matteo Moretto, the Rossoneri are obsessed with Jackson, and have enquired about the conditions of a potential deal. Their primary target had been Victor Boniface, but Bayer Leverkusen’s asking price is apparently much higher than Chelsea’s relatively modest valuation of Jackson, said to be just €50m. (Ed.note: Chelsea paid €35m to Villarreal two years ago.) Milan’s interest in Jackson follows similar rumblings involving Juventus, Napoli and Atlético…
