Juventus is understood to be Partey’s preferred destination should Arsenal sanction his departure. Several Saudi Pro League clubs have also registered an interest in the 30-year-old, who played a key role in the Gunners’ title challenge last season. While Partey’s ability has never been in question, his durability has often cost him and Arsenal dear when they have needed him most. In each of the last two campaigns his form and fitness has deteriorated during the run-ins which has led to speculation that Arsenal could look to cash in on a player who has two years left on his current contract. While Mikel…
Michael Owen has backed Manchester City to pip Arsenal to the Premier League title next season. The Gunners led the league for the majority of the 2022/23 campaign but they ran out of gas in the final few months, drawing three consecutive matches in April to relinquish their lead to eventual treble winners City. Now, ex-Real Madrid and Manchester United striker Owen has backed Pep Guardiola’s side to win their fourth league title in a row next term, with Mikel Arteta and Co in second. He predicted another one of his former teams, Liverpool, to finish third whilst United make up the…
For the first time since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid have a proper number seven heading into a new season, in the form of Vinicius Junior. The number was assigned to Vinicius Junior this summer, following the departure of Eden Hazard The club decided to part ways with the Belgian earlier in the summer, by terminating his contract. According to Mario Cortegana, the shirt number change this summer was requested by Vinicius Junior himself. The Brazilian had anticipated a number of changes to the team heading into the new season, which included the departures of both Hazard and Karim…
That of Reinier Jesus. The Brazilian youngster was left out of their tour, after Carlo Ancelotti made it clear that he would not be part of the squad next season, and because he was on the verge of returning on loan to Girona in the coming days. Diario AS say that this move collapsed less than a week later though. Barcelona’s move for Oriol Romeu, which meant that Pablo Torre moved on loan to Girona in the other direction, left Reinier without a spot in the Girona squad. Since, Reinier has been training at Valdebebas alone, or occasionally with Real Madrid…
At this stage, Real Madrid could probably use the addition of another striker. Los Blancos have a significant hole up top since Karim Benzema left at the end of the previous campaign, and their roster is devoid of anyone who can fill it. Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo played as a pair in Carlo Ancelotti’s 4-4-2 system throughout the preseason. But at best, the outcomes have been inconsistent. Real Madrid have signed Joselu on a loan deal from Espanyol till the end of the season. But that simply is not enough to fill Benzema’s absence. One of the many strikers that…
Sky Italy reports that Partey has agreed personal terms with Juventus to join the club this summer. The Serie A giants will now lodge an offer for the Ghanaian international, but are aware they need to sell one or two players before they can buy him. However, it is unclear whether Arsenal would let Partey leave Emirates after midfield partner Granit Xhaka also departed the North London club this summer. Partey joined Arsenal from Spanish La Liga giants Atletico Madrid for £45million in the summer of 2020.
Nottingham Forest have submitted an opening offer for Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner after negotiations stalled with Manchester United for Dean Henderson. Steve Cooper’s side are still without an undisputed No.1 heading into their Premier League opener against the Gunners on August 12 after last season’s loanees Keylor Navas and Henderson returned to their parent clubs after helping the Tricky Trees beat the drop. Forest have tried to sign England international Henderson on a permanent deal which was likely to be a loan with an obligation-to-buy centred around top-flight appearances. But following extensive delays, United are still reluctant to sanction Henderson’s…
The Premier League is just one week away now and Chelsea will be hoping their fortunes this season will make a turn towards the better. The Blues host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, with a much-changed side under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino set to take to the pitch at Stamford Bridge. While there’s been a whole host of exits, there’s still deals to be agreed for the likes of Hakim Ziyech and Romelu Lukaku. There could still be incomings for the squad as recent reports claim that Chelsea could make another bid for Moises Caicedo as football.london understands a recent…
The west Londoners were dealt a huge blow when Wesley Fofana suffered an ACL injury that is likely to rule him out for most of the upcoming season, but they have wasted no time in bringing in a replacement. Chelsea quickly identified Disasi as the ideal signing to bolster their right-sided centre-back options and he travelled to London on Tuesday to undergo a medical and put pen to paper on a long-term contract. The 25-year-old made 118 appearances for Monaco after joining the Ligue 1 side from Stade de Reims three years ago, often captaining the team, while he has four caps…
Liverpool knows what needs doing before the end of the summer, which is now only 29 days away. In exactly 29 days — to the minute when this article is published — the transfer window will slam shut. On the agenda primarily is finding a new number six, with Curtis Jones and others having stepped into that role over the course of the last few weeks. No permanent solution, though, has emerged. Thiago Alcântara and Stefan Bajčetić should both soon return to full training, but the former is not a perfect fit for that position, where there are a lot…
