SOME-VING SPECIAL
Rennes wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly on Manchester United’s summer wishlist.
That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim United will battle Premier League rivals Arsenal for Camavinga.
The Red Devils are closing in on top target Jadon Sancho and are already thinking ahead.
However, the talented French midfielder has also attracted interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
GUNNERS EYE SUMMER SANCHES MOVE
Arsenal are targeting Lille star Renato Sanches and are weighing up a potential summer transfer.
Sanches is reportedly interested in returning to the Premier League to prove his worth after a poor loan spell at Swansea back in 2017-18, which saw him make a mere 12 Premier League appearances.

Manager Mikel Arteta is on the lookout for a new midfielder to partner up with Thomas Partey in the middle of the park
KEANE CHEEKY DIG AT GUNNERS
Roy Keane heaped praise on Bukayo Saka but also aimed criticism at Arsenal while doing so.
The ITV pundit was discussing Saka, 19, alongside Ian Wright, who applauded Saka’s “glorious pace”.
And former Manchester United star Keane was equally as complimentary towards the youngster.
But he could ignore old rivalries, bashing Arsenal in his assessment of Saka.
In ITV’s pre-match coverage of Belgium vs Portgual, Keane said: “He’s been playing well in a poor Arsenal team.”
But Keane is accurate in his view, as the Gunners underperformed last season, finishing the campaign without a trophy.
Mikel Arteta’s side finished eighth in the Premier League and perhaps the most disappointing moment came in the Europa League semi-final exit to Villareal.
And despite their problems Saka still shone, scoring seven and assisting ten goals in all competitions.
RAMSEY’S RENEWED JUVE HOPE
Ex-Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey reportedly hopes Max Allegri’s return as Juventus boss will boost his chances of staying with the Italian giants.
Allegri’s successors Maurizio Sarri and Andrea Pirlo failed to play the Wales star in his favoured No8 slot.
Now it’s claimed that, far from angling for a release this summer, Ramsey hopes to gain a regular Juventus spot next season.

Ex-Arsenal player Serge Gnabry took a dig at both of the Gunners’ London rivals, Tottenham and Chelsea, ahead of Germany’s clash with England at Wembley.
Bayern Munich wideman Gnabry devastated both sides last year in the Champions League and led his team to the top of Europe.
Germany winger Serge Gnabry and Co are warming up for England on Tuesday Gnabry told Bayern’s official website: “So far I’ve done very well when I’ve come back to London, hopefully on Tuesday as well.
“For me, there’s always a lot of history when we go to England because I still have some friends there as well. Hopefully they’ll be in the stadium.
“I’ve never played at Wembley before. I personally and we as a team are really looking forward to the game”
ARSENAL HAPPY TO SHOW AUBAMEYANG IS A DIVER
Gunners’ striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is lapping up pre-season freedom in Mykonos – in contrast to the drama of last summer.
The Gabon superstar eventually signed a new three-year contract in September 2020 – but struggled to match that big-money deal during a disappointing season.
Arsenal posted a picture of Aubameyang doing an impressive head-over-heals into a swimming pool, labelling it: “Checking in from Mykanos.”
GUENDOUZI ‘WANTS TO JOIN MARSEILLE’
Matteo Guendouzi and Granit Xhaka seem to be vying to become the first out of Arsenal’s batch of unsettled midfielders.
Roma are strong favourites to land Switzerland star Xhaka, while journalist Fabrizio Romano says France Under-21 ace Guendouzi is keen on joining Marseille.
Matteo Guendouzi was on loan at Hertha Berlin last season and seems sure to exit Arsenal permanently after summerCredit: AFP ARSENAL TARGET WHITE IS MOST IMPROVED LION
Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka have both named Ben White as the England player that has impressed them the most on Euro 2020 duty.
Brighton defender White is closing in on a £50million deal to Arsenal following a standout season.
Mikel Arteta wants to revamp his squad after the Gunners missed out on European football for the first time in 25 years.
A string of other clubs had been interested in the England centre-back, 23, including Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham and Liverpool.
White was rewarded for his impressive form with a place in the England squad after Trent Alexander-Arnold pulled out through injury.
And potential new club mate Saka has already hailed the former Leeds United loanee after watching him up close in training.
When asked by ITV’s Gabriel Clarke who has surprised him, the 19-year-old said: “Earlier I said I was impressed the most by Ben White.
“I haven’t seen him a lot this season but coming here and training with him, I’ve been impressed with him.”
DUEL OVER ALEXANDER
Arsenal are set to battle Real Madrid over Real Sociedad ace Alexander Isak.
According to AS, Real are keen on Isak and the same goes for a number of Premier League teams, such as the Gunners.
In fact, the north Londoners have already made contact with the centre-forward’s representatives and there is a possibility they could meet his release clause, worth €70million (£59m)
But Sociedad are said to have offered the Sweden international a new deal that would see his release clause boosted to €90m (£77m), which may well put off any suitors in the current market
TOP TIER DEAL
Kieran Tierney has signed a new FIVE-YEAR contract with Arsenal worth £110,000 a week.
The star man left-back said: “Delighted to announce I’ve signed a new long-term deal with the club.
“I’d just like to thank you all for your support and messages always.
“Can’t wait to get started next year”
HEC’S APPEAL STRONG FOR INTER
Arsenal ace Hector Bellerin could be Achraf Hakimi’s replacement at Inter Milan.
Hakimi is set to join Paris Saint-Germain while Bellerin seems set to leave the Gunners.
According to Gianluca Dimarzio, the Spain international’s agent is in contact with the Nerrazuri.
Dimarzio also reports that Inter would prefer to loan the full-back with an option to buy

GNABRY SWIPE
Ex-Arsenal player Serge Gnabry took a dig at both of the Gunners’ London rivals, Tottenham and Chelsea, ahead of Germany’s clash with England at Wembley.
Bayern Munich ace Gnabry devastated both sides last year in the Champions League and led his team to the top of Europe.
Gnabry told Bayern’s official website: “So far I’ve done very well when I’ve come back to London, hopefully on Tuesday as well.
“For me, there’s always a lot of history when we go to England because I still have some friends there as well. Hopefully they’ll be in the stadium.
“I’ve never played at Wembley before. I personally and we as a team are really looking forward to the game”
CAMAVINGA AGENT REACTS
Rennes ace Eduardo Camavinga’s agent Jonathan Barnett has hinted that the midfielder could be among his clients set for a major move amid interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.
Barnett told The Athletic: “It is going to be harder. I’m expecting three or four very big deals of my own that will break a lot of records.
“Hopefully, they’ll come about. For the smaller clubs, I think there won’t be as many transfers. We have some very good players.
“We have probably the best young player in the world in Camavinga. We’ve got [Jack] Grealish. We’ve got [Ibrahima] Konate at Leipzig. But then I’ve got over 100 players”
CAMAVINGA SITUATION
Rennes ace Eduardo Camavinga’s agent has hinted that his client could be on the move during this summer transfer window.
Camavinga enjoyed a stunning campaign in Ligue 1 and has thus attracted interest from some of Europe’s top bidders, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Reports suggest the midfielder will be United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer priority after Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho signs with the club.
According to The Athletic, the France international’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, who also represents Luke Shaw and other elite players, has hinted that the 18-year-old could be on the move this summer
CAMAVINGA BOOST
The same report below from Fabrizio Romano also includes an important update regarding Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga.
The Gunners seem to be very keen on Camavinga, who had a stunning campaign in Ligue 1 last season.
However, Romano claims the north Londoners haven’t made an official bid for the France international
In fact, there has been absolutely no contact between the player and the club
SELL FIRST, BUY LATER
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims Arsenal will sell players first in order to fund transfers.
And it looks like they’re on the right track as Granit Xhaka is closing in on Roma and Matteo Guendouzi is keen on joining Marseille.
Hector Bellerin and Lucas Torreira could be sold for €20million (£17m) each.

BELLERIN FUTURE
Arsenal ace Hector Bellerin could be Achraf Hakimi’s replacement at Inter Milan.
Hakimi is set to join Paris Saint-Germain while Bellerin seems set to leave the Gunners.
According to Gianluca Dimarzio, the Spain international’s agent is in contact with the Nerrazuri.
Dimarzio also reports that Inter would prefer to loan the full-back with an option to buy
WHAT’S NEXT?
England face rivals Germany on Tuesday in Euro 2020’s Last 16.
This encounter brings back some bad memories for the Three Lions, who will look to exorcise the demons of the past against Joachim Low’s side.
If Gareth Southgate’s men emerge victorious then the quarter-finals are next.
And that is where Bukayo Saka and co will face either Ukraine or Sweden
CAMAVINGA BLOW?
Manchester United are set to meet with Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga’s representatives next week.
That is according to RMC, who report that United are stepping up their interest for Camavinga.
That works as a blow for Arsenal, who have also been keeping tabs on the France international who has been dubbed the “new Patrick Vieira”.
Gunners manager Mikel Arteta is determined to sign a top midfielder to team up with Thomas Partey in the middle of the park
CAM AND GET HIM
Manchester United have been linked with a move for Rennes wonderkid, and Arsenal target, Eduardo Camavinga.
That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim United could battle the Gunners for Camavinga.
The Red Devils are closing in on top target Jadon Sancho and are already thinking ahead in the summer transfer window.
However, the highly-rated French midfielder has also attracted interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain
BELLS RINGING
Hector Bellerin is among the Arsenal players linked with an iminent departure.
Bellering is said to be keen on a move as he is seeking a new challenge in his career.
According to Football London, the full-back has a handful of potential suitors.
That includes the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal
WHITE REACTS
Brighton star Ben White has played down transfer rumours linking him to Arsenal.
That is mainly because the defender is focused on England’s upcoming clash with Germany in Euro 2020’s Round of 16.
White told talkSPORT: “You don’t know what’s true and what’s not.
“So, there’s no real point talking about it”
COME AND GUEND HIM
Arsenal outcast Matteo Gundouzi is likely to sign a new contract with the Gunners.
That is according to Le10Sport, but that doesn’t mean that the north Londoners are planning on holding on to Guendouzi.
On the contrary, Arsenal are looking to extend his contract in order to preserve his transfer value.
The midfielder’s current deal runs out next year
GETTY IMAGES TRANSFER BOOST
Brighton ace Ben White was linked with Manchester United recently following a string of impressive Premier League performances that led to an England call-up.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to sign a top centre-back to partner up with Harry Maguire at the back.
According to Manchester Evening News, however, the Red Devils were not willing to meet his £50million asking price for the England international and are thus concentrating their efforts on other defensive targets.
That paves the way for Arsenal to sign their man as they are willing to splash the cash for the 23-year-old defender
