      Arsenal fans beg Harry Kane ‘to do a Sol Campbell’ and seal shock free transfer to link up with Bukayo Saka full time

      by

      ARSENAL fans are begging Harry Kane “to do a Sol Campbell” and quit Tottenham in favour of a move to the Gunners.The striker linked up with Bukayo Saka brilliantly during England’s 2-0 win over Ukraine yesterday, converting his cross to put the Three Lions ahead.

      And it led to some cheeky supporters dreaming about Kane moving across North London.
      Kane’s future at Spurs is uncertain with his contract up in the summer of 2024 and he has been urged to leave in search of trophies.
      Sol Campbell made the controversial switch from Tottenham to Arsenal in 2001 and went on to win two Premier League titles and three FA Cups at the club.
      Kane has been encouraged to follow in his footsteps, as one fan said: “Kane x Saka is a broken combo. Kane feel free to do a Sol Campbell.”

      Another reacted: “If Harry Kane wants to do a Sol Campbell, mate, we would win it all.”
      More commented: “Need Kane to do a Campbell as this Saka and Kane duo is nuts.”
      It remains unlikely that England’s all-time record goalscorer would ever make the switch to the Emirates.
      Manchester United is possibly a more likely destination for him and the Red Devils believe they can sign the player this summer.

      Spurs could be forced to lower their £100million asking price for Kane if they finish outside the top four.

      Arsenal full-back and Ukraine captain Zinchenko, 26, who plays in midfield for his country, embraced several of the England players after the game.
      One of those was Gunners transfer target Rice, 24, who is expected to leave West Ham this summer.
      A host of Premier League clubs are in the frame to sign the Hammers skipper including Manchester United and Chelsea.
      But Arsenal supporters believe Zinchenko had a quick word with the Three Lions midfielder in an attempt to convince him to go to the Emirates.

      One fan shared a clip of Zinchenko hugging Rice, before he briefly says something to him.
      Alongside the footage, they added the caption: “Did Zinchenko ask Rice: ‘You joining, yeah?’ 😂😂.”
      Another added: “That man’s work is never done: left-back, attacking midfielder, head cheerleader, and recruitment coordinator.”
      A third replied: “I think it was more of a statement instead of a question 🤣.”

      And a fourth said: “Arsenal scouting system is the players 😂.”
      Rice will enter the final 12 months of his contract this summer, but West Ham are still thought to be holding out for around £80million.

      Arsenal are keen to bolster their midfield, having previously seen two offers for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo rejected.
      They did bring in Jorginho in the January window, but are still thought to be looking for further reinforcements. More

      His form could encourage Mikel Arteta to use the youngster in the first team next season.
      But Balogun is not closing the door to a potential exit and would be open to moving back to Reims.
      When asked about his future in an interview with Ligue Un he said: “Contractually I have to go back because the loan was only for one year so that was always the agreement.
      “I’m not sure what is going to happen in the future.

      “A lot could happen in football, a lot could change, and it just depends on the conversations we have between me and the club in the summer, and we’ll see what happens.
      “I mean there’s no door that’s closed. Of course I have had a good year here and to a lot of people it makes sense for me to come back here. So yeah I mean I don’t know what the future will bring.”
      Balogun also needs to decide his international future after being left out of the England squad.
      He appeared to be frustrated by his omission and posted a message hinting at a potential switch to the USA saying: “In life go where you are appreciated.”

      USA interim boss Anthony Hudson also revealed he had held talks with Balogun over a potential switch.
      He said: “As I said before, we’ve had dialogue we’ve spoken.
      “He’s out here, having a bit of a break and some training, and we’ve had some discussions. So yeah, now it’s about him just enjoying the rest of his trip.
      “It’s been good, because it’s been an opportunity for us just to share about our program and who we are and what we do.
      “And look, that’s it, I hope we get the chance to speak to him again. So it’s been good to meet him, and I know a few of the guys who have spoke to him as well.” More

      But the Gunners face competition for his signature from two Premier League rivals, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      Arsenal added to their midfield in January by signing Jorginho, but could look to strengthen further in the summer.

      Teen ace Lavia has caught the eye in 24 appearances for the Saints this season.

      And his form means it’s not only Arsenal who are reportedly eager to secure his services.
      Romano claims Chelsea also remain interested in the midfielder.
      The Blues made a staggering £50million offer – £40m up front plus £10m in add ons – for Lavia just weeks after he joined the Saints last summer.
      Lavia signed for Southampton in a £14m deal from Manchester City.

      His former club negotiated a £40m buy-back clause in the transfer, which will become active in 2024.
      But Romano declared Lavia is “one to watch” in this summer’s transfer window, suggesting City could make a move before the clause becomes active.
      The midfielder has netted one Prem goal since arriving on the South Coast last summer.
      His sole strike for the Saints came in the 2-1 win over Chelsea back in August. More

      Man Utd supposedly have concrete interest in Hojlund and he would welcome a move to Old Trafford, giving them an advantage over potential other suitors.
      The player is a fan of the club and Sport Witness report that he said: “Now that you ask, I will not hide the fact that I am a huge Manchester United fan.
      “So personally, it would be one of the biggest things for me.”
      Hojlund is valued at over £30million by Atalanta, who signed him for half the price last summer from Austrian outfit Sturm Graz.

      He scored a hat-trick for Denmark in their win over Finland on Thursday in his first international start.
      The three strikes added to the eight goals he has scored for the Serie A side this season.
      Man Utd are keen to add a new striker to their squad this summer and the 20-year-old is seen as more attainable than Tottenham’s Harry Kane or Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
      Hojlund also reportedly remains on the radar of Arsenal and Real Madrid.

      He has been compared to Haaland not just because of their Scandinavian backgrounds, but also due to his physicality while also possessing a similar burst of pace and eye for goal as the Manchester City star.
      Pundit Mike Grella said he can be even better than the Norweigian, saying: “He can do more than Haaland. Haaland is more the type who duels with the centre-backs and just scores lots of goals.
      “Hojlund can dribble past an opponent. He can keep the ball better. Hojlund can better help the team on the edge (of the penalty area) or deeper in the pitch.” More
