Chelsea have reportedly rekindled their interest in Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho after deciding to sell Noni Madueke to Arsenal. Garnacho, 21, was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window and the Blues have initiated contact with his camp in recent days as they ponder a possible bid this summer. That is according to TBR Football, who claim that Chelsea retain an “active interest” in Garnacho, although they will reportedly face competition for his signature from Aston Villa. The Argentina international is expected to leave Man Utd on a permanent deal this summer, after…
Arsenal’s move for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke is almost complete. The announcement is expected in the next 48 hours that the £52m deal is done. The question now is what Chelsea do next. Are they happy with their attacking options, and did they sign Jamie Gittens knowing Madueke was likely to go, or do they want to sign another player to replace him? Will Christopher Nkunku leave too? How close to being a first team regular is Estevao Willian? We don’t have definitive answers just yet, but the whispers we hear do gives us some hints.

Arsenal transfer target Eberechi Eze has revealed his dream transfer move amid interest from fellow Premier League clubs. The Gunners want to bring in someone who can challenge Gabriel Martinelli on the left-wing, and Eze has emerged as one of their top targets. The Crystal Palace attacker is expected to command a transfer fee of £60m plus £8m in add-ons. Arsenal are the frontrunners to land the England international, but he has also previously been linked to Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool. Eze could come in alongside Noni Madueke, who has agreed a deal with the Gunners to be Bukayo…
Chelsea have held fresh talks with an attacker lined up by Arsenal and a report claims the Blues could hijack a deal in one of two ways. Both Chelsea and Arsenal made it a key aim to overhaul their attacking ranks this summer. The Blues have signed Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, though their work is far from finished. It’s a similar story across London at the Emirates, with Arsenal closing in on adding Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres to their ranks. Mikel Arteta won’t stop there, however, with Crystal Palace talisman, Eberechi Eze, next in his sights.…
Leah Williamson has described Arsenal teammate Stina Blackstenius as an “incredibly powerful footballer” as the pair prepare to go head-to-head in the Euro 2025 quarter-final between England and Sweden. “She’s a great player and she has been for many years now,” said the England captain. “Her experience speaks for itself. We were celebrating her success at Arsenal, but not so much now. We’ll see. Stina is an incredibly powerful footballer and very intelligent with her runs. She’s a hard player to play against in that respect.” The two players were on the same Arsenal side in May when Blackstenius scored…
Arsenal look set to win the race for one of England’s most talked-about young forwards, with The Sun’s Charlie Wyett reporting that the Gunners have agreed a deal to sign Salford City striker Will Wright. The 17-year-old has made just four senior appearances for the League Two side but has already drawn major attention this summer. Wright has scored four goals in pre-season and attracted bids from top Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, and Burnley. Liverpool had previously been considered favourites to land Wright after tabling a £100,000 bid plus add-ons. However, Arsenal have stolen a march on…
A new name has emerged in AC Milan’s hunt for a new left-back: Brighton and Hove Albion’s Pervis Estupinan. Theo Hernandez’s six-year spell at Milan officially came to an end last week as his permanent move to Al-Hilal was confirmed by both clubs. He didn’t leave without firing a final jab at the management though, but now their task is to replace him adequately. According to Ben Jacobs, both Manchester United and Milan ‘hold a genuine interest’ in Brighton’s Pervis Estupiñán. United have now held talks on the player side and though there has been ‘no formal approach yet’, Brighton…
Another report has claimed that Dusan Vlahovic would be open to reuniting with Massimiliano Allegri at AC Milan. La Stampa report that the tug-of-war has been going on for some time between Juventus and Vlahovic. The dialogue continues with Juve hoping for a solution that means they do not have a player sat in the stands for the final year of his deal earning €12m net. The latest contacts between general manager Damien Comolli and Serbian striker’s agent Darko Ristic have reaffirmed the stalemate. Vlahovic’s entourage would like an early termination of his contract without giving up a generous severance…
Massimiliano Allegri is studying how to get the best out of Rafael Leao, and he may use the same approach he did with Cristiano Ronaldo. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes that Leao and Cristiano Ronaldo have a lot of differences, bit what unites them is a mild propensity for non-possession play and Allegri as a coach trying to make it work. Allegri has been working closely with Rafa since day one: he speaks to him often, encourages him, and also showers him with compliments when he gets things right during training sessions. Leao is a talent…
The Los Angeles Lakers are in the midst of yet another frustrating offseason, where they didn’t make many moves of note. Fans have been desperately waiting for serious upgrades to help them get back to championship contention, but the Lakers have instead let Dorian Finney-Smith walk and replaced him with Jake LaRavia and Deandre Ayton. While Ayton will certainly help the disastrous center rotation in Los Angeles, whether the Lakers actually got better for next season is up for debate. General manager Rob Pelinka has to be aggressive on the trade market to salvage the Lakers’ offseason and give the…
