Viktor Gyokeres has stepped up his efforts to force a stunning move away from Sporting CP by taking drastic action amid intense transfer speculation. Gyokeres’ name has dominated the transfer rumour mill, having been linked with several European powerhouses, including Arsenal, Manchester United and Juventus. Arsenal and Man United are hellbent on recruiting a new No.9 ahead of the new season, while Juve are keen on reinforcing their forward line. The Gunners, however, appear to be leading the race to sign Gyokeres and are said to be closing in on an agreement. The 27-year-old is ‘prioritising’ a transfer to the…
Arsenal are showing interest in a surprise summer move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, journalist Rahman Osman has claimed. The Gunners reportedly have a meeting with Juventus scheduled next week to discuss the Serbia international’s potential arrival at the Emirates amid growing uncertainty over his future in Italy. Juventus are looking to offload Vlahovic’s hefty £315,000-a-week wages this summer and are even claimed to be prepared to terminate his contract to speed up his exit. Vlahovic is also believed to be high on Manchester United’s list of targets this summer, along with Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo. Arsenal are said to…
Elite football clubs typically have an extensive array of scouts involved in transfer plans to maximise quality and potential. But when Arsene Wenger managed Arsenal, all he needed was his own eyes and a television to confirm his interest in a Swedish talent. The Gunners entered the 1998 summer transfer window after being crowned Premier League and FA Cup winners in a domestic double. Wenger delivered silverware in just his first season in north London and began plans to build their dominance in English football. David Grondin was their first transfer from the Saint-Etienne youth setup before Nelson Vivas made…
Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres “remains open” to a move to Man Utd with a potential move to Arsenal stalling, according to reports. The Gunners have been hard at work attempting to convince the Portuguese club to sell the Sweden international on their terms but Sporting are holding firm. There are claims that Arsenal are prepared to pay the €80m that Sporting are asking for but it’s the fixed fee that is forming the problem in negotiations. It is understood that the Gunners are looking to pay €65m as a fixed amount with €15m more in bonuses, while Sporting are…
Viktor Gyökeres talks still underway with player 𝐧𝐨𝐭 planning to return AT ALL to work and train with Sporting. Arsenal and Sporting remain in negotiations… …and there’s ONLY Arsenal in his mind.
Arsenal are one of the biggest recipients of the Premier League’s TV money, which under Stan Kroenke’s largely self-funding financial model helps fund their activity in the transfer market. The Gunners are, however, less reliant than they once were on media cash. Last season, Arsenal generated £262m from TV income, with around two-thirds of that figure coming from the Premier League pot. That was out of total turnover of just shy of £614m. Increasingly, commercial and matchday are playing a bigger part. Through the turnstiles, Arsenal are expected to announce Premier League record revenue for 2024-25. Commercially, they were lagging…
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…
