      Man Utd ‘make £39m offer’ for Lisandro Martinez after Arsenal’s bid of £34m for Argentina defender was rejected by Ajax

      by

      MANCHESTER United have reportedly made a £39.6 million offer for Lisandro Martinez as they look to hijack the transfer from rivals Arsenal. The Ajax defender is in hot demand and some of the biggest Premier League clubs are set to scrap over him.

      The Gunners have already seen their £34m for Argentine defender rejected, leaving the door open for Erik ten Hag to raid his former club.
      The Mirror report the Red Devils have lodged a £39m bid, which falls close to the Dutch club’s £43m evaluation.
      They add that United have told Ajax they will pay £35.3 up front with a package of add-ons worth a further £4.3million.
      Ten Hag has identified the defender as United look to fix their leaky defence.

make Frenkie de Jong ‘priority’, £13m Tyrell Malacia transfer AGREED
      They are also closing in on another recruit for their backline, with Feyenoord’s left-back Tyrell Malacia reportedly agreeing personal terms.
      But the fight for Martinez appears far from over, with Arsenal lodging a third bid only days ago.
      Martinez, 24, is only 5ft 9ins tall but is known to be a scrappy defender and has been highly-rated by clubs around Europe.
      He made 24 appearances last season for Ajax as ten Hag’s former club won the Dutch title.

      Gabriel Jesus SPOTTED wearing No 9 shirt, Arsenal ‘monitoring’ Serge Gnabry, Lisandro Martinez UPDATE – transfer latest

      by

      ARSENAL fans are starting to become impatient as they still await Gabriel Jesus’ imminent announcement.However, the Brazilian was spotted doing a photoshoot at the Emirates where he was wearing the number nine shirt which shows signs that there is nothing to worry about.
      Meanwhile, Chelsea and Barcelona seem to be in a tug-of-war for Gunner’s transfer target Raphinha.
      But reports suggest that Arsenal are now ‘monitoring’ Serge Gnabry’s contractual situation at Bayern Munich.
      And the North London outfit remain optimistic on their chances of signing Lisandro Martinez despite the Ajax ace ‘hoping’ for a Manchester United move.

      Tielemans ‘should play for Arsenal’
      It’s shocking Arsenal haven’t made a formal move for Leicester ace Youri Tielemans, according to Steve Nicol.
      Nicol reckons Tielemans has outgrown the Foxes, and would make a ideal midfield partnership with Gunners star Thomas Partey in the place of Granit Xhaka.
      Speaking to ESPN, he said: “I am surprised someone like Arsenal haven’t gone in to sign him. I think he ends up staying at Leicester City. I think he’s better than Leicester, to be honest.
      “I think Arsenal should have gone and signed this guy. Granit Xhaka is a good Premier League player, but I don’t think he is good enough to push Arsenal into the top four or certainly challenge for any major competition.
      “I think Tielemans and Thomas Partey would be a great partnership in the middle of the park. So, I am surprised there hasn’t been more talk of Tielemans, especially from an Arsenal point of view.”
      Man United will hope Arsenal don’t take heed of Nicol’s advice as they also want the Belgium international.

      Nou development
      Barcelona are odds-on favourites to sign Leeds winger Raphinha.
      That’s according to bookmakers Sky Bet, who’ve priced the Spanish heavyweights at 1/2 to clinch the Brazilian’s signature.
      Chelsea looked certain to secure his services having agreed a £55m deal plus add-ons with Leeds.
      But he’s now drifted out to 13/8 to arrive at Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes.
      A stay at Leeds is available at 18/1, with Arsenal and Newcastle offered at 20/1 and 25/1 respectively.
      Manchester United are major outsiders, coming in at 40/1.

      Parlour makes Martinez wish
      Ray Parlour has admitted that he wants Arsenal to sign Lisandro Martinez.
      He said to talkSPORT: “I know they are in for him from Ajax. I am looking down the spine of the team and I think that’s where they might strengthen.
      “As you mentioned, Tielemans is a really good ball-player. They have got [Thomas] Partey, who had his injury problems last season.
      “He missed quite a lot of games. You have got [Albert Sambi] Lokonga, who is going to get better and he’s still young.
      “But I think that’s the area. [Granit] Xhaka is getting that little bit older. I think that’s the area they really need to look at.
      “Get balls through the line and Tielemans would be ideal. Let’s hope, with my Arsenal hat on, they can somehow get him over the line, and in the ideal world, get everyone signed up by the (pre-season) tour.”

      Gunner be interesting
      New signing Fabio Vieira now faces a race against time to prepare for the Gunners’ upcoming pre-season tour in the United States.
      All of Arsenal’s new signings are expected to make their club debut’s before the season starts next month.
      Arteta has already confirmed that 19-year-old Marquinhos will be given his chance to shine following his £3m transfer from Sao Paulo.
      Matt Turner is also set to appear between the sticks upon his return to America.
      And new No.9 Gabriel Jesus is expected to alternate with Eddie Nketiah in attack.

      Not so fab
      Arsenal new boy Fabio Vieira has picked up an injury BEFORE the club’s pre-season tour.
      Vieira, 22, joined the North London side last month in a deal worth £34million.
      Upon his arrival, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hailed him as a “special” player that is set to bolster his team’s attack.
      He said: “I am very excited that we have identified and signed such a special talent.
      “Fabio is a very creative player that will bring high quality and versatility to our attacking play.”
      However, the midfielder has already hit a stumbling block before even putting on the red shirt.
      A picture posted on Instagram clearly shows his left ankle in a protective boot, indicating that he has already sustained an injury.
      But according to football journalist James Benge, it is just a minor foot issue.

      Prem king
      Man City and Liverpool are favourites to be crowned 2022-23 Premier League champions.
      That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who are predicting another two-horse race with Pep Guardiola’s Citizens available at 8/13 and Liverpool at 12/5.
      Liverpool, who start against promoted Fulham, are next at 12/5 having missed out by a single point last term.
      Tottenham are now considered third-favourites at 14/1 after a flurry of incomings.
      Antonio Conte’s side have signed Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster to join Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski, who arrived in January.
      They are ahead of London rivals Chelsea (16/1) who have seen Romelu Lukaku, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leave the club. The futures of Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta are also in doubt, while Barcelona are now favourites to sign Raphinha.
      Manchester United are 25/1 to clinch the title during Erik ten Hag’s debut campaign, ahead of Arsenal (40/1) and Newcastle (100/1).

      On the Lis-t
      Man Utd are trying to reach an agreement with Ajax for Arsenal target Lisandro Martinez.
      Meanwhile, United’s proposed offer to Tyrell Malacia includes a four-year contract with the option of a 5th.
      And according to The Athletic, his medical may happen this weekend.

      Pep talk
      Pep Guardiola understands when players decide to leave in search of regular game time.
      Manchester City forwards Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus are expected to be sold this summer.
      And they could be followed by defensive duo Nathan Ake and Oleksandr Zinchenko, while midfielder Bernardo Silva would like a move to Spain.
      City boss Guardiola said: “The most complicated thing to manage in a team is the players who do not play and to keep them happy.
      “There’s no solution — that’s why good players leave their teams, because they want to play.
      “I cannot retain a player who does not play just because he has a contract.
      “I told my players I want to see them happy. We’ve known each other a long time and if anyone is unhappy, they have to leave.”
      Jesus, 25, is poised to join Arsenal for £45million after fearing his chances would be limited by the arrivals of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez.
      Sterling, 27, has similar concerns and is wanted by Chelsea, who have also enquired about Ake and Zinchenko.

      Ben White is ‘overrated’
      Arsenal’s defence has been blasted by Gabby Agbonlahor who reckons Ben White is over-rated.
      Agbonlahor told Football Insider: “Arsenal’s defence is nowhere near good enough to get top-four.
      “For me, Ben White is very overrated, I watched him against Newcastle towards the end of the season and he was absolutely dreadful.
      “He lacks pace, he lacks aggression. Yes, he’s good on the ball but he’s not a defensive midfielder, he’s a centre-half.”

      Wilshere’s plans if Spurs win title
      Jack Wilshere has revealed he’ll move to Australia if Tottenham ever win the league.
      Tottenham have been making waves in transfer market this summer.
      Signing the likes of Everton ace Richarlison has shown the club’s ambition.
      And if Spurs’ shrewd business moves lead to a Prem title, Wilshere won’t be around to witness it.
      He revealed to talkSPORT: “I’m moving to Australia if that ever happens!”

      Arsenal offload Swedish starlet
      Arsenal starlet Nikolaj Moller has returned to Dutch outfit FC Den Bosch on loan after his spell last season.
      The 19-year-old striker spent the second half of the 2021-22 campaign with the second division side.
      He proved to be a key player for Jack de Gier’s men as he helped the Blue White Dragons finish mid-table.
      In total he featured in 11 Ereste Divisie matches – chipping in with two goals and a solitary assist.
      And Arsenal have decided to send the Sweden youth international back on loan to the club to continue his development.
      A statement from the Gunners read: “We wish Nikolaj all the best at FC Den Bosch and look forward to seeing his development in the upcoming season.”

      Gift of the Gab
      Gabriel Jesus was spotted wearing his new Arsenal kit and walking around the Emirates in a video leaked online earlier this week.
      The clip shows the Brazil international, with what appears to be the club’s media team, while dressed in the full kit.
      The 25-year-old was wearing the No9 shirt – possibly bringing the guessing game over his new number to an end.
      This comes after the Brazilian was pictured in a SunSport exclusive hugging Arsenal chief Edu as he arrived for his medical.

      Matt’s your lot
      Stade Velodrome has called it quits at Marseille after being left frustrated by the club’s lack of intent in the transfer market.
      The announcement of his exit came just hours before Marseille confirmed the acquisition of Matteo Guendouzi.
      It has been claimed that Sampaoli was left disappointed after the French side failed to sign Arsenal centre-back William Saliba, who has returned to the Emirates after his loan.
      And he is said to have been left outraged by Boubacar Kamara joining Aston Villa on a free transfer.
      He was also of the belief that Belgium international Axel Witsel should have been snapped up.
      But Marseille dithered on the deal, with the midfielder now poised to link up with Atletico Madrid.

      Done deal
      Matteo Guendouzi has completed his permanent switch to Marseille from Arsenal following his stunning loan spell last season.
      But he will be playing for a new manager after Argentine boss Jorge Sampaoli sensationally quit at the Stade Velodrome.
      Guendouzi enjoyed a brilliant 2021-22 campaign with the French side as he helped the club finish second in Ligue 1.
      He proved to be a key player under Sampaoli where he chipped in with five goals and 14 assists in 56 games in all competitions.
      Marseille are understood to have paid around £9million to turn his temporary stay into a permanent switch.
      Announcing his departure, a Gunners statement read: “Everyone at Arsenal thanks Matteo for his contribution during his time with us and wish him all the best in this next chapter of his career.”

      Cup for it
      The FA has announced that replays will return to the FA Cup up to the fourth round.
      Replays were scrapped from the third round onwards in last season’s competition due to worries over fixture congestion.
      Several matches were postponed around the new year period when the third round was scheduled to take place.
      So to prevent fixture congestion the FA removed replays in both the third and fourth rounds.
      Replays were also scrapped for the 2020-21 campaign to relieve similar fears after the start of the season was delayed due to the pandemic.
      But now replays will be reintroduced to ties including qualifiers and all the way up to the fourth round.

      Poor Rich
      Richarlison would not get into Arsenal’s starting XI, claims their former midfielder Jack Wilshere.
      The Everton star is set to join Tottenham in a £50million deal, rising to £60m with add-ons.
      Richarlison, 25, has been acquired to bolster Spurs’ already strong attack, but Wilshere is nonplussed at his rivals’ swoop.
      Appearing on talkSPORT, the 30-year-old said: “I think he improves the squad, definitely… he gives them something different.
      “I wouldn’t say I’m gutted.
      “He’s 25, so not young. There comes a point where you’re going to have to turn that potential into something but to be fair if any one can do it, it’s Antonio Conte.
      “I wouldn’t say I’m devastated as an Arsenal fan but he could be one to watch, he could be really good.”
      Further quizzed about whether he’d have the Brazilian at the Emirates, Wilshere added: “Yeah but I don’t think he gets in the XI.
      “He’d definitely challenge for it and be a good part of the squad but I don’t think he gets in the XI.”

      Nou development
      Barcelona are odds-on favourites to sign Leeds winger Raphinha.
      That’s according to bookmakers Sky Bet, who’ve priced the Spanish heavyweights at 1/2 to clinch the Brazilian’s signature.
      Chelsea looked certain to secure his services having agreed a £55m deal plus add-ons with Leeds.
      But he’s now drifted out to 13/8 to arrive at Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes.
      A stay at Leeds is available at 18/1, with Arsenal and Newcastle offered at 20/1 and 25/1 respectively.
      Manchester United are major outsiders, coming in at 40/1.

      Kev to be done
      Kevin Campbell insists his former club Arsenal need to sign another midfielder and striker after sealing Gabriel Jesus.
      The Gunners are set to announce Jesus imminently after reaching a reported £45million deal with Manchester City.
      Campbell told talkSPORT: “They’ve got to fix the midfield, it needs more goals, it needs more creativity, hence Tielemans.
      “I still think Arsenal need an alternative striker, a big striker, someone who, when teams bank up and it’s not going so well, someone who you could fire crosses in, and he can get on the end of it.
      “I think Arsenal have missed that change of alternative in the set up and the flexibility of Jesus as well means he could start as a nine or he can play wide, he’s comfortable anywhere.”

      Moller delight
      Arsenal starlet Nikolaj Moller has returned to Dutch outfit FC Den Bosch on loan after his spell last season.
      The 19-year-old striker spent the second half of the 2021-22 campaign with the second division side.
      He proved to be a key player for Jack de Gier’s men as he helped the Blue White Dragons finish mid-table.
      In total he featured in 11 Ereste Divisie matches – chipping in with two goals and a solitary assist.
      And Arsenal have decided to send the Sweden youth international back on loan to the club to continue his development.
      A statement from the Gunners read: “We wish Nikolaj all the best at FC Den Bosch and look forward to seeing his development in the upcoming season.”

      Merseille ‘confirm Guendouzi transfer’
      Marseille seem to have confirmed the permanent signing Matteo Guendouzi including the midfielder in a promotional video.
      Guendouzi was on loan with Marseille last season, and the Ligue 1 side have added him to a clip promoting their kit for next season.
      But Arsenal are yet to confirm his departure despite Marseille’s antics.
      Although Guendozi has admitted he wants to join the French club.

      PSG sign Wolves flop Vitinha
      PSG have announced the signing of former Wolves flop Vitinha from Porto.
      The midfielder poses as PSG’s first summer transfer following a reported £35million deal with the Portuguese giants.
      The Portugal international signed a five-year deal with the Parisians after helping Porto win the title last season following a disappointing spell at Wolves.
      The news will come as a bitter blow to Arsenal who’s bid for Vitinha was rejected.
      Hazard set for career revival
      Carlo Ancelotti is hoping to revive Eden Hazard’s Real Madrid career by playing him as a false nine, according to reports.
      The Belgian joined Los Blancos in 2019 for £130million but injuries have hampered his time at the Bernabeu.
      Hazard has missed a whopping 57 games mainly due to muscle injuries.
      Despite his absence, Hazard has two LaLiga titles and a Champions League winners medal to his name.
      And according to AS, boss Ancelotti will try and revive Hazard’s Real career with a change of position.
      Arsenal offload Swedish starlet
      Arsenal starlet Nikolaj Moller has returned to Dutch outfit FC Den Bosch on loan after his spell last season.
      The 19-year-old striker spent the second half of the 2021-22 campaign with the second division side.
      He proved to be a key player for Jack de Gier’s men as he helped the Blue White Dragons finish mid-table.
      In total he featured in 11 Ereste Divisie matches – chipping in with two goals and a solitary assist.
      And Arsenal have decided to send the Sweden youth international back on loan to the club to continue his development.
      A statement from the Gunners read: “We wish Nikolaj all the best at FC Den Bosch and look forward to seeing his development in the upcoming season.”
      Wilshere makes Spurs admission
      Arsenal legend Jack Wilshere admits Tottenham have done some good business by recruiting Richarlison.
      He said to talkSPORT: “I think he [Richarlison] improves the squad, definitely… he gives them something different. I wouldn’t say I’m gutted.
      “He’s 25, so not young. There comes a point where you’re going to have to turn that potential into something but to be fair if any one can do it, it’s Antonio Conte.
      “I wouldn’t say I’m devastated as an Arsenal fan but he could be one to watch, he could be really good.”
      Arsenal announce three player exits
      Three starlets are set to follow Alexandre Lacazette out the Arsenal exit.
      Lacazette officially departed from the Gunners this week to join Lyon.
      And the North Londoners have confirmed trio Jonathan Dinzeyi, Joel Lopes and Jordan McEneff have failed to make the cut.
      The youngsters were part of the club’s development sides, but won’t be making the leap into the senior side.

      Tottenham close in on Lenglet
      Tottenham are reportedly on the verge of clinching a loan deal for Barcelona star Clement Lenglet.
      And Di Marzio claims Lenglet has been chosen by the Spurs boss for a north London summer switch.
      Marseille were thought to be leading the race for Lenglet, who’s been capped 15 times by France.
      But Italian tactician Conte has stormed in late on.
      And Lenglet is now set to ply his trade in the Premier League as Spurs’ new left-sided centre-half.
      Fulham face Manor Solomon loss
      Fulham are facing the prospect of losing out on forward Manor Solomon with French club Nice attempting to hijack the deal.
      The Israel international has been a long term target for boss Marco Silva and is close to joining the Cottagers from Ukrainian side Shakthar Donetsk.
      Silva’s side have all but agreed a deal worth around £7million for the 22-year-old but have not yet fully completed.
      Sources close to the player believe that all aspects are ready to go on the deal and that they are just awaiting the final seal from Fulham.
      As the newly promoted side delay, however, Nice are trying to muscle in.
      The Ligue 1 side, owned by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, have offered a bigger fee to Shakthar and a larger wage to Solomon than that on offer from West London.
      Solomon, however, would still prefer a switch to the Premier League but is beginning to consider other options should Fulham continue to delay.
      Pickford set for new contract
      Everton are are reportedly in talks with Jordan Pickford over a new long-term deal.
      The Mail claims Pickford is now set to be rewarded with a lucrative fresh contract.
      The England No1, 28, hast two years left to run on his current deal.
      Frank Lampard is a huge fan of Pickford, who cost £30million from Sunderland in 2017.
      And he wants the stopper to commit his golden years at Goodison Park ahead of a summer rebuild.
      Ronaldo to Sporting Lisbon?
      Sporting Lisbon director of football Hugo Viana has refused to rule out Cristiano Ronaldo returning to the club.
      He told Sky Sports on a possible summer move: “Not now, I don’t think that will be possible.
      “But we never know. He can decide where he can go. But you never know the future.
      “I don’t want to talk a lot about that because when we speak about Cristiano it is quite different.
      “I think he has one more year on his contract, so whatever he decides, let’s see.”
      Brentford eye ex-United flop
      Brentford are plotting a swoop for ex-Manchester United flop Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
      The goalkeeper moved to Old Trafford back in 2014 from Serbian club Vojvodina.
      He then suffered work permit issues that prevented him from making an appearance for the club.
      And that led to his departure from United just a year later having failed to make any impact.
      Now TuttoSport claims that Brentford are lining up a bid to give the now Torino stopper a second shot at the Premier League.
      Chelsea face Raphinha coup
      Chelsea are fighting Barcelona’s 11th-hour attempt to sign Raphinha.
      Blues owner Todd Boehly looked like he had bagged the Brazil winger after agreeing a £55million deal with Leeds.
      But having seen off interest from rivals Arsenal, Boehly now faces the threat of losing out to Barcelona.
      Raphinha’s agent Deco, who played for both Barca and Chelsea, was spotted at the Spanish giants’ offices on Wednesday in a last-ditch attempt to engineer a move.
      Richarlison to Tottenham confirmed
      Richarlison is set to undergo a medical at Tottenham TODAY after agreeing to move from Everton, according to reports.
      Spurs are still haggling with the Toffees over the final details of the deal, although a fee of around £50million and £10m in add-ons has been agreed in principle.
      Richarlison, 25, has settled on personal terms with Tottenham and is eager to make the move.
      According to The Athletic, the Brazilian’s Spurs medical will take place today with a transfer imminent.
      The forward is eager to test himself at the highest level, and will be able to play Champions League football for the first time with Spurs.
      Rangers face transfer battle
      Four Euro clubs are keen to beat Rangers to sign Antonio Colak.
      SunSport understands the PAOK striker is a target for Copenhagen, Panathinaikos, Real Mallorca and his former club Malmo as the race for the £2.5million-rated Croatian international, 28, hots up.
      But it’s understood the Light Blues remain favourites with the frontman clear Ibrox is his favoured destination if a deal can be agreed with the Greeks.
      We revealed Gers had made an improved £2m offer plus bonuses in a bid to prise Colak away from PAOK’s Dutch pre-season camp.
      But that too has been rejected with PAOK chiefs adamant about the deal matching what they paid Rijeka two years ago.
      Chelsea get De Ligt boost
      Chelsea have received a major boost in their pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt after Juventus’ CEO hinted that the star wants to leave.
      uventus chief Maurizio Arrivabene has appeared to have bolstered their hopes of landing De Ligt – saying they will be happy to do business as long as their asking price is met.
      He said: “It’s impossible to keep players when they want to leave the club – but all the three parties in the negotiations have to be satisfied.”
      Good Morning football fans. 
      Man Utd are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
      The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.
      But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
      Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
      However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
      Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.
      Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku is back in Italy ahead of his return to Inter Milan and has proudly posed with a club scarf.
      The 29-year-old will link up with the San Siro outfit for a second time just a year after he re-joined Chelsea in a club-record £97.5million deal.
      But he failed to hit the heights expected of him at Stamford Bridge, with Thomas Tuchel deeming him surplus to requirements.
      And Inter have been quick to secure his services with the Serie A giants agreeing a £6.9m season-long loan deal with the Blues.
      More on Martinez
      Arsenal’s opening bid of £26m was rejected – as was their second which was £8m higher.
      Their latest offer is a similar downpayment but with more add-ons – so that may not be enough to tempt Ajax to do business.
      They are now likely to wait to see if a firm offer comes in for Lisandro Martinez from United.
      He had previously indicated he was happy to join Arsenal but the prospect of re-uniting with his former boss Ten Hag at Old Trafford may change his mind.
      It would be a blow for Mikel Arteta who has also seen Chelsea move in for another of his key targets, Raphinha, in recent days.
      Spanish giants Barcelona are also in the race for the Brazilian who is rated at around £60m by his current club Leeds.
      Meanwhile United are happy with the way their move for Malacia is progressing – despite a late bid from Lyon to turn his head back towards them.
      He is expected to move to the North West and provide competition for Luke Shaw next season.

      S-mart money
      Man Utd are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
      The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.
      But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
      Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
      However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
      Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.

      Everton in talks for Winks
      Everton are likely to sign Harry Winks regardless of where Richarlison‘s future lies, according to Givemesport.
      The Brazilian international is being strongly linked with a move to Tottenham, with a potential swap deal involving Winks under consideration, but Jones is confident the midfielder will end up linking up with ex-teammate Dele Alli, no matter what happens with Richarlison.
      According to Sky Sports’ Michael Bridge, Spurs and Everton are in talks over Winks, although the north Londoners are pushing for a permanent transfer, while the Toffees are seeking a loan deal with an option to buy.
      Winks has already been told to find a new club by Tottenham and has been valued at around £20m.
      Meanwhile, the same outlet state that Spurs are interested in Richarlison and Anthony Gordon, as Conte hopes to provide squad depth ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League next term.

      Koul runnings
      Kalidou Koulibaly has reportedly emerged as a potential target for Chelsea.
      It has been claimed that the Senegal international has been added to Thomas Tuchel’s shortlist in his quest to bolster his backline.
      The Blues boss is desperate for reinforcements in defence after Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen departed as free agents.
      Chelsea have been linked with a host of players, with the club reportedly having a £34million offer plus either Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic for Matthijs de Ligt rejected by Juventus.
      They are also understood to be keen on bringing Manchester City’s Nathan Ake back to Stamford Bridge.
      Meanwhile Sevilla star Jules Kounde remains of interest, however they face competition from Barcelona in the race to secure the Frenchman’s services.

      Tuchy subject
      Romelu Lukaku did not enjoy a successful return to Chelsea and part of the reason for his failure was his strained relationship with Thomas Tuchel.
      Lukaku, 29, first got on the wrong side of the German by publicly expressing his desire to return to Inter in a now infamous interview.
      In the same interview Lukaku also criticised Tuchel’s style of play, suggesting it restricted him to too few chances in front of goal.
      But Tuchel also irritated Lukaku with a jibe that poked fun at the striker’s relationship with his former manager Antonio Conte.
      According to Goal’s Nizaar Kinsella, Lukaku was left unhappy with Tuchel’s wind-up.
      Kinsella revealed: “To see him talk so highly of Inter [during the Sky Italia interview] was an insult to Chelsea fans. It broke the relationship with them.
      “And there was another incident behind the scenes that wasn’t televised or anything like that.
      “Someone told me that Lukaku and Tuchel were watching a Tottenham game and Tuchel said, ‘There’s your daddy’, about Antonio Conte.
      “It was just a joke, but apparently, it didn’t go down very well with Lukaku.”

      ICYMI
      PSG star Neymar has been informed by club chiefs he is no longer wanted at Parc des Princes, reports suggest.
      That is according to RMC Sport, who claim PSG are keen to rebuild without the star forward ahead of this coming season.
      The Brazil international has been linked with a summer exodus from Paris this summer with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United showing interest,
      United, Chelsea and Newcastle would be the only realistic transfer options for Neymar if he does leave PSG, whom he joined for a world record £200million in 2017.
      The Premier League trio are the only clubs with the financial might to meet the Parisians and the striker’s financial demands.

      Raph news
      Raphinha’s agent was spotted at the Nou Camp less than 24 hours after Chelsea appeared to move into pole position to sign the Leeds winger.
      The west Londoners dealt a hammer blow to Arsenal’s hopes of signing the Brazilian on Tuesday by tabling a bid north of £55million for his services.
      A deal has yet to be reached and talks with the player’s agent – former Barcelona ace Deco – are set to take place later this week.
      But Barca could be poised to land the winger after Deco was spotted at the Nou Camp with club chiefs Rafa Yuste, Mateu Alemany, Enric Masip and president Joan Laporta.
      Spanish journalist Victor Navvaro captured footage of the group leaving the stadium and shared it on Twitter.

      Spurs ‘set to snag genius’
      Tottenham are set to snap up the set-piece genius who help fire Italy to Euro 2020 glory.
      Veteran coach Gianni Vio, 69, is in talks to join Antonio Conte’s backroom staff ahead of the new season as the Italian looks to improve Spurs’ threat from set pieces.
      The ex-banker-turned-deadball boffin wrote a thesis on set pieces as part of his coaching badges and claims to have more than 4,000 routines up his sleeve.
      Vio helped Roberto Mancini at Euro 2020 last year and has previously worked at AC Milan, Leeds and Brentford.
      Of the big six, only Manchester United scored fewer goals from set pieces than Spurs’ eight last season, meaning it is an area Conte is desperate to improve as they bid to bridge the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool.
      Southampton ‘sign Man City starlet’
      Southampton are on the verge of signing Man City starlet Romeo Lavia, according to reports.
      The Saints were locked in battle with Leeds for the 18-year-old’s services.
      But the Saint Mary’s outfit have emerged victorious in the transfer race, The Athletic reported.
      City wanted to keep hold of Lavia and have the option to buy him back, the report adds.

      Dutch courage
      Everton are leading the race to sign Tottenham star Steven Bergwijn, according to reports.
      Spurs are believed to be open to selling the Netherlands international this summer amid interest from Everton and Ajax.
      Bergwijn, 24, has also admitted that he is seeking a transfer as he looks to play regular football.
      And it seems Everton have the upper hand as they are willing to offer Bergwijn more money than Ajax, report De Telegraaf.
      The Toffees are reportedly ready to match Tottenham’s asking price too, believed to be in the region of £21million.
      But Bergwijn is said to prefer a move to Ajax due to the Dutch champions being able to offer Champions League football.

      Rab race
      Adrien Rabiot wants to leave Juventus to join a Premier League club this summer.
      The Telegraph claim Rabiot wants to leave the Serie A heavyweights to join an English club playing Champions League football.
      And Juventus have agreed to his requests and will look to offload him for between £13-17million this summer.
      Betfair think Chelsea are the frontrunners at odds of 5/2.
      Three other Champions League sides in Liverpool (5/1), Manchester City (8/1) and Tottenham (10/1) are next in the betting markets.
      Italian publication Calciomercato claim Liverpool are hatching a plan to swap Adrien Rabiot and Naby Keita, who are both 27 with 12 months remaining on their current deals.
      There’s a large jump to Europa League duo Manchester United and Arsenal, who are locked together at 20/1.

      Eye of the Hag-er
      Erik Ten Hag is close to making Tyrell Malacia his first signing as Manchester United boss and he has liked the defender for some time.
      United are reportedly set to hijack Lyon’s move for the Feyenoord star in a £14m deal.
      And Ten Hag knows a lot about the left-back from his time as Ajax manager – when he first set eyes on the youngster.
      Footage has emerged from a match between Feyenoord and Ajax when Malacia certainly caught the eye.
      Ten Hag is seen saying in Dutch: “That kid at left-back is amazing.”
      He also tells his assistant Michael Reiziger to take note of Malacia, possibly with a view to signing him in the future.

      Mad for you
      Atletico Madrid are reportedly in talks with Arsenal over a transfer for Hector Bellerin.
      Bellerin, 27, spent the season on loan at Real Betis and a move back to La Liga could be on the cards.
      ElDesmarque report Atletico are “already negotiating” with the Gunners over the full-back, who has told the North London club of his desire to leave.
      Bellerin knows “first-hand” of interest from the Madrid side and it is making him rethink his future.
      He is “seduced” by the option of playing in the capital but Betis remains his preferred option after his successful 2021-22 campaign.
      The Spain international impressed for his boyhood club where he helped the Seville outfit win the Copa del Rey, as well as finishing fifth.

      Luk at that
      Inter Milan fans turned out in force to get a glimpse of the returning Romelu Lukaku.
      Lukaku arrived in Milan for a medical today after Chelsea agreed a £6.9million fee to ship the 29-year-old out on loan.
      And Lukaku grinned broadly as he waved to adoring fans from the window of the Italian Olympic Committee’s headquarters in Milan.
      The Chelsea flop waved and gave a thumbs up to the crowd who had defied a warning from Inter Ultras NOT to welcome Lukaku back to the club.
      Scorned Curva Nord fanatics urged fans not to “run and drool” after Lukaku following his return.
      Instead they claimed he will have to earn their affection back with “humility and sweat”.
      Credit: AP
      Col me maybe
      Southampton are considering a move for Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill as Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to continue his youth revolution.
      The Saints have already snapped up two young players this summer in Gavin Bazunu – a goalkeeper from Manchester City – and 20-year-old defender Armel Bella-Kotchap, who arrived from German club Vfl Bochum.
      And now Hasenhuttl wants to make another raid on Chelsea’s youth ranks.
      The south coast side took three players from Cobham last summer with Tino Livramento and Dynel Simeu joining on permanent deals as well as Armando Broja spending last season on loan.
      Now Colwill is in Southampton’s sights – with Premier League rivals Leicester City also tracking his progress.
      The defender, 19, spent last season on loan with Championship side Huddersfield, who reached the play-off final where they lost to Nottingham Forest.

Jesus SPOTTED wearing No.9 shirt, Arsenal ‘monitoring’ Serge Gnabry
      Guendouzi joined Arsenal from Lorient in 2018 where he scored once in 82 matches.
      But he fell out with Mikel Arteta towards the end of the 2019-20 season after he taunted Brighton’s players about their wages before grabbing Neal Maupay by the throat.
      He was then dropped by Arteta and frozen out for good, leading him to join Hertha Berlin in October 2020 before linking up with Marseille.
      Despite his permanent arrival at Marseille, Sampaoli has called it quits after being left frustrated by the club’s lack of intent in the transfer market.

      The announcement of his exit came just hours before Marseille confirmed the acquisition of Guendouzi.
      It has been claimed that Sampaoli was left disappointed after the French side failed to sign Arsenal centre-back William Saliba, who has returned to the Emirates after his loan.
      And he is said to have been left outraged by Boubacar Kamara joining Aston Villa on a free transfer.
      He was also of the belief that Belgium international Axel Witsel should have been snapped up.
      But Marseille dithered on the deal, with the midfielder now poised to link up with Atletico Madrid. More

      Tottenham close in on Lenglet
      Tottenham are reportedly on the verge of clinching a loan deal for Barcelona star Clement Lenglet.
      And Di Marzio claims Lenglet has been chosen by the Spurs boss for a north London summer switch.
      Marseille were thought to be leading the race for Lenglet, who’s been capped 15 times by France.
      But Italian tactician Conte has stormed in late on.
      And Lenglet is now set to ply his trade in the Premier League as Spurs’ new left-sided centre-half.
      Fulham face Manor Solomon loss
      Fulham are facing the prospect of losing out on forward Manor Solomon with French club Nice attempting to hijack the deal.
      The Israel international has been a long term target for boss Marco Silva and is close to joining the Cottagers from Ukrainian side Shakthar Donetsk.
      Silva’s side have all but agreed a deal worth around £7million for the 22-year-old but have not yet fully completed.
      Sources close to the player believe that all aspects are ready to go on the deal and that they are just awaiting the final seal from Fulham.
      As the newly promoted side delay, however, Nice are trying to muscle in.
      The Ligue 1 side, owned by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, have offered a bigger fee to Shakthar and a larger wage to Solomon than that on offer from West London.
      Solomon, however, would still prefer a switch to the Premier League but is beginning to consider other options should Fulham continue to delay.
      Pickford set for new contract
      Everton are are reportedly in talks with Jordan Pickford over a new long-term deal.
      The Mail claims Pickford is now set to be rewarded with a lucrative fresh contract.
      The England No1, 28, hast two years left to run on his current deal.
      Frank Lampard is a huge fan of Pickford, who cost £30million from Sunderland in 2017.
      And he wants the stopper to commit his golden years at Goodison Park ahead of a summer rebuild.
      Ronaldo to Sporting Lisbon?
      Sporting Lisbon director of football Hugo Viana has refused to rule out Cristiano Ronaldo returning to the club.
      He told Sky Sports on a possible summer move: “Not now, I don’t think that will be possible.
      “But we never know. He can decide where he can go. But you never know the future.
      “I don’t want to talk a lot about that because when we speak about Cristiano it is quite different.
      “I think he has one more year on his contract, so whatever he decides, let’s see.”
      Brentford eye ex-United flop
      Brentford are plotting a swoop for ex-Manchester United flop Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
      The goalkeeper moved to Old Trafford back in 2014 from Serbian club Vojvodina.
      He then suffered work permit issues that prevented him from making an appearance for the club.
      And that led to his departure from United just a year later having failed to make any impact.
      Now TuttoSport claims that Brentford are lining up a bid to give the now Torino stopper a second shot at the Premier League.
      Chelsea face Raphinha coup
      Chelsea are fighting Barcelona’s 11th-hour attempt to sign Raphinha.
      Blues owner Todd Boehly looked like he had bagged the Brazil winger after agreeing a £55million deal with Leeds.
      But having seen off interest from rivals Arsenal, Boehly now faces the threat of losing out to Barcelona.
      Raphinha’s agent Deco, who played for both Barca and Chelsea, was spotted at the Spanish giants’ offices on Wednesday in a last-ditch attempt to engineer a move.
      Richarlison to Tottenham confirmed
      Richarlison is set to undergo a medical at Tottenham TODAY after agreeing to move from Everton, according to reports.
      Spurs are still haggling with the Toffees over the final details of the deal, although a fee of around £50million and £10m in add-ons has been agreed in principle.
      Richarlison, 25, has settled on personal terms with Tottenham and is eager to make the move.
      According to The Athletic, the Brazilian’s Spurs medical will take place today with a transfer imminent.
      The forward is eager to test himself at the highest level, and will be able to play Champions League football for the first time with Spurs.
      Rangers face transfer battle
      Four Euro clubs are keen to beat Rangers to sign Antonio Colak.
      SunSport understands the PAOK striker is a target for Copenhagen, Panathinaikos, Real Mallorca and his former club Malmo as the race for the £2.5million-rated Croatian international, 28, hots up.
      But it’s understood the Light Blues remain favourites with the frontman clear Ibrox is his favoured destination if a deal can be agreed with the Greeks.
      We revealed Gers had made an improved £2m offer plus bonuses in a bid to prise Colak away from PAOK’s Dutch pre-season camp.
      But that too has been rejected with PAOK chiefs adamant about the deal matching what they paid Rijeka two years ago.
      Chelsea get De Ligt boost
      Chelsea have received a major boost in their pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt after Juventus’ CEO hinted that the star wants to leave.
      uventus chief Maurizio Arrivabene has appeared to have bolstered their hopes of landing De Ligt – saying they will be happy to do business as long as their asking price is met.
      He said: “It’s impossible to keep players when they want to leave the club – but all the three parties in the negotiations have to be satisfied.”
      Good Morning football fans. 
      Man Utd are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
      The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.
      But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
      Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
      However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
      Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.
      Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku is back in Italy ahead of his return to Inter Milan and has proudly posed with a club scarf.
      The 29-year-old will link up with the San Siro outfit for a second time just a year after he re-joined Chelsea in a club-record £97.5million deal.
      But he failed to hit the heights expected of him at Stamford Bridge, with Thomas Tuchel deeming him surplus to requirements.
      And Inter have been quick to secure his services with the Serie A giants agreeing a £6.9m season-long loan deal with the Blues.
      More on Martinez
      Arsenal’s opening bid of £26m was rejected – as was their second which was £8m higher.
      Their latest offer is a similar downpayment but with more add-ons – so that may not be enough to tempt Ajax to do business.
      They are now likely to wait to see if a firm offer comes in for Lisandro Martinez from United.
      He had previously indicated he was happy to join Arsenal but the prospect of re-uniting with his former boss Ten Hag at Old Trafford may change his mind.
      It would be a blow for Mikel Arteta who has also seen Chelsea move in for another of his key targets, Raphinha, in recent days.
      Spanish giants Barcelona are also in the race for the Brazilian who is rated at around £60m by his current club Leeds.
      Meanwhile United are happy with the way their move for Malacia is progressing – despite a late bid from Lyon to turn his head back towards them.
      He is expected to move to the North West and provide competition for Luke Shaw next season.

      S-mart money
      Man Utd are looking to hijack Arsenal’s bid to land Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
      The Gunners have put in a third offer for the Argentine centre-back – after being told their previous bid of £34million was not enough.
      But United have now registered their interest to the Dutch giants and asked to be kept informed of developments.
      Erik ten Hag was planning to switch his attention to his forward line now deals for Frenkie de Jong and Tyrrell Malacia have been set up.
      However the Red Devils were concerned that the 24-year-old Martinez would be heading for North London unless they made their interest known quickly.
      Martinez has set his heart on a move to the Premier League – although the Dutch giants will demand around £43m to think about letting him leave.

      Everton in talks for Winks
      Everton are likely to sign Harry Winks regardless of where Richarlison‘s future lies, according to Givemesport.
      The Brazilian international is being strongly linked with a move to Tottenham, with a potential swap deal involving Winks under consideration, but Jones is confident the midfielder will end up linking up with ex-teammate Dele Alli, no matter what happens with Richarlison.
      According to Sky Sports’ Michael Bridge, Spurs and Everton are in talks over Winks, although the north Londoners are pushing for a permanent transfer, while the Toffees are seeking a loan deal with an option to buy.
      Winks has already been told to find a new club by Tottenham and has been valued at around £20m.
      Meanwhile, the same outlet state that Spurs are interested in Richarlison and Anthony Gordon, as Conte hopes to provide squad depth ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League next term.

      Koul runnings
      Kalidou Koulibaly has reportedly emerged as a potential target for Chelsea.
      It has been claimed that the Senegal international has been added to Thomas Tuchel’s shortlist in his quest to bolster his backline.
      The Blues boss is desperate for reinforcements in defence after Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen departed as free agents.
      Chelsea have been linked with a host of players, with the club reportedly having a £34million offer plus either Timo Werner or Christian Pulisic for Matthijs de Ligt rejected by Juventus.
      They are also understood to be keen on bringing Manchester City’s Nathan Ake back to Stamford Bridge.
      Meanwhile Sevilla star Jules Kounde remains of interest, however they face competition from Barcelona in the race to secure the Frenchman’s services.

      Tuchy subject
      Romelu Lukaku did not enjoy a successful return to Chelsea and part of the reason for his failure was his strained relationship with Thomas Tuchel.
      Lukaku, 29, first got on the wrong side of the German by publicly expressing his desire to return to Inter in a now infamous interview.
      In the same interview Lukaku also criticised Tuchel’s style of play, suggesting it restricted him to too few chances in front of goal.
      But Tuchel also irritated Lukaku with a jibe that poked fun at the striker’s relationship with his former manager Antonio Conte.
      According to Goal’s Nizaar Kinsella, Lukaku was left unhappy with Tuchel’s wind-up.
      Kinsella revealed: “To see him talk so highly of Inter [during the Sky Italia interview] was an insult to Chelsea fans. It broke the relationship with them.
      “And there was another incident behind the scenes that wasn’t televised or anything like that.
      “Someone told me that Lukaku and Tuchel were watching a Tottenham game and Tuchel said, ‘There’s your daddy’, about Antonio Conte.
      “It was just a joke, but apparently, it didn’t go down very well with Lukaku.”

      ICYMI
      PSG star Neymar has been informed by club chiefs he is no longer wanted at Parc des Princes, reports suggest.
      That is according to RMC Sport, who claim PSG are keen to rebuild without the star forward ahead of this coming season.
      The Brazil international has been linked with a summer exodus from Paris this summer with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United showing interest,
      United, Chelsea and Newcastle would be the only realistic transfer options for Neymar if he does leave PSG, whom he joined for a world record £200million in 2017.
      The Premier League trio are the only clubs with the financial might to meet the Parisians and the striker’s financial demands.

      Raph news
      Raphinha’s agent was spotted at the Nou Camp less than 24 hours after Chelsea appeared to move into pole position to sign the Leeds winger.
      The west Londoners dealt a hammer blow to Arsenal’s hopes of signing the Brazilian on Tuesday by tabling a bid north of £55million for his services.
      A deal has yet to be reached and talks with the player’s agent – former Barcelona ace Deco – are set to take place later this week.
      But Barca could be poised to land the winger after Deco was spotted at the Nou Camp with club chiefs Rafa Yuste, Mateu Alemany, Enric Masip and president Joan Laporta.
      Spanish journalist Victor Navvaro captured footage of the group leaving the stadium and shared it on Twitter.

      Tottenham are set to snap up the set-piece genius who help fire Italy to Euro 2020 glory.
      Veteran coach Gianni Vio, 69, is in talks to join Antonio Conte’s backroom staff ahead of the new season as the Italian looks to improve Spurs’ threat from set pieces.
      The ex-banker-turned-deadball boffin wrote a thesis on set pieces as part of his coaching badges and claims to have more than 4,000 routines up his sleeve.
      Vio helped Roberto Mancini at Euro 2020 last year and has previously worked at AC Milan, Leeds and Brentford.
      Of the big six, only Manchester United scored fewer goals from set pieces than Spurs’ eight last season, meaning it is an area Conte is desperate to improve as they bid to bridge the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool.
      Southampton ‘sign Man City starlet’
      Southampton are on the verge of signing Man City starlet Romeo Lavia, according to reports.
      The Saints were locked in battle with Leeds for the 18-year-old’s services.
      But the Saint Mary’s outfit have emerged victorious in the transfer race, The Athletic reported.
      City wanted to keep hold of Lavia and have the option to buy him back, the report adds.

      Dutch courage
      Everton are leading the race to sign Tottenham star Steven Bergwijn, according to reports.
      Spurs are believed to be open to selling the Netherlands international this summer amid interest from Everton and Ajax.
      Bergwijn, 24, has also admitted that he is seeking a transfer as he looks to play regular football.
      And it seems Everton have the upper hand as they are willing to offer Bergwijn more money than Ajax, report De Telegraaf.
      The Toffees are reportedly ready to match Tottenham’s asking price too, believed to be in the region of £21million.
      But Bergwijn is said to prefer a move to Ajax due to the Dutch champions being able to offer Champions League football.

      Rab race
      Adrien Rabiot wants to leave Juventus to join a Premier League club this summer.
      The Telegraph claim Rabiot wants to leave the Serie A heavyweights to join an English club playing Champions League football.
      And Juventus have agreed to his requests and will look to offload him for between £13-17million this summer.
      Betfair think Chelsea are the frontrunners at odds of 5/2.
      Three other Champions League sides in Liverpool (5/1), Manchester City (8/1) and Tottenham (10/1) are next in the betting markets.
      Italian publication Calciomercato claim Liverpool are hatching a plan to swap Adrien Rabiot and Naby Keita, who are both 27 with 12 months remaining on their current deals.
      There’s a large jump to Europa League duo Manchester United and Arsenal, who are locked together at 20/1.

      Eye of the Hag-er
      Erik Ten Hag is close to making Tyrell Malacia his first signing as Manchester United boss and he has liked the defender for some time.
      United are reportedly set to hijack Lyon’s move for the Feyenoord star in a £14m deal.
      And Ten Hag knows a lot about the left-back from his time as Ajax manager – when he first set eyes on the youngster.
      Footage has emerged from a match between Feyenoord and Ajax when Malacia certainly caught the eye.
      Ten Hag is seen saying in Dutch: “That kid at left-back is amazing.”
      He also tells his assistant Michael Reiziger to take note of Malacia, possibly with a view to signing him in the future.

      Mad for you
      Atletico Madrid are reportedly in talks with Arsenal over a transfer for Hector Bellerin.
      Bellerin, 27, spent the season on loan at Real Betis and a move back to La Liga could be on the cards.
      ElDesmarque report Atletico are “already negotiating” with the Gunners over the full-back, who has told the North London club of his desire to leave.
      Bellerin knows “first-hand” of interest from the Madrid side and it is making him rethink his future.
      He is “seduced” by the option of playing in the capital but Betis remains his preferred option after his successful 2021-22 campaign.
      The Spain international impressed for his boyhood club where he helped the Seville outfit win the Copa del Rey, as well as finishing fifth.

      Luk at that
      Inter Milan fans turned out in force to get a glimpse of the returning Romelu Lukaku.
      Lukaku arrived in Milan for a medical today after Chelsea agreed a £6.9million fee to ship the 29-year-old out on loan.
      And Lukaku grinned broadly as he waved to adoring fans from the window of the Italian Olympic Committee’s headquarters in Milan.
      The Chelsea flop waved and gave a thumbs up to the crowd who had defied a warning from Inter Ultras NOT to welcome Lukaku back to the club.
      Scorned Curva Nord fanatics urged fans not to “run and drool” after Lukaku following his return.
      Instead they claimed he will have to earn their affection back with “humility and sweat”.

      Col me maybe
      Southampton are considering a move for Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill as Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to continue his youth revolution.
      The Saints have already snapped up two young players this summer in Gavin Bazunu – a goalkeeper from Manchester City – and 20-year-old defender Armel Bella-Kotchap, who arrived from German club Vfl Bochum.
      And now Hasenhuttl wants to make another raid on Chelsea’s youth ranks.
      The south coast side took three players from Cobham last summer with Tino Livramento and Dynel Simeu joining on permanent deals as well as Armando Broja spending last season on loan.
      Now Colwill is in Southampton’s sights – with Premier League rivals Leicester City also tracking his progress.
      The defender, 19, spent last season on loan with Championship side Huddersfield, who reached the play-off final where they lost to Nottingham Forest.

      ARSENAL have been dealt a transfer blow as Bologna full-back Aaron Hickey has decided to join Brentford instead. Meanwhile, Arsenal fans are starting to become impatient as they still await Gabriel Jesus’ imminent announcement.
      However, the Brazilian was spotted doing a photoshoot at the Emirates where he was wearing the number nine shirt which shows signs that there is nothing to worry about.
      But reports suggest that Arsenal are now ‘monitoring’ Serge Gnabry’s contractual situation at Bayern Munich.
      And the North London outfit remain optimistic on their chances of signing Lisandro Martinez despite the Ajax ace ‘hoping’ for a Manchester United move.

      Raphinha blocks Chelsea
      Leeds star and Arsenal transfer target Raphinha has asked his agent to block any further advances from Chelsea.
      According to Sport, the Brazil international is not keen on moving to the Blues and is prepared to wait for Barca.
      The winger has asked his representative Deco to “stop’ negotiations with Chelsea in order to ‘prioritise” a move to the Nou Camp.
      Stamford Bridge chiefs have been left flummoxed by the 25-year-old’s stance against joining them as they did not expect him to turn them down
      Arsenal 5-1 Ipswich Town
      Arsenal thrashed Ipswich Town with a comfortable 5-1 win in a behind-closed-doors friendly at London Colney.
      Eddie Nketiah stood out for the Gunners as he scored a hat-trick in his bid to prove manager Mikel Arteta he should run the attack after Gabriel Jesus’ arrival.

      A look at Arsenal’s new signings in USA pre-season tour
      New signing Fabio Vieira now faces a race against time to prepare for the Gunners’ upcoming pre-season tour in the United States, starting July 16.
      All of Arsenal’s new signings are expected to make their club debut’s before the season starts next month.
      Arteta has already confirmed that 19-year-old Marquinhos will be given his chance to shine following his £3m transfer from Sao Paulo.
      Matt Turner is also set to appear between the sticks upon his return to America.
      And new No9 Gabriel Jesus is expected to alternate with Eddie Nketiah in attack.
      Arsenal target Hickey set to join Brentford
      Arsenal have reportedly been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Aaron Hickey with the Bologna left-back set to join Brentford in a £14million deal.
      The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to the Emirates this summer with Mikel Arteta keen to bring in a back-up for Kieran Tierney.
      But they have always been in competition with the Bees in the race to secure the services of the Scotland international.
      And according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the West London outfit could announce the signing of the defender next week after his medical.

      He tweeted: “Brentford are set to sign Aaron Hickey on permanent deal.
      “Scottish talented fullback will join for £14m plus add-ons to Bologna. Five-year deal agreed… and here we go.
      “Hickey will travel to England next week in order to undergo medical tests and sign.”
      Ben White is ‘overrated’, says Agbonlahor
      Arsenal’s defence has been blasted by Gabby Agbonlahor who reckons Ben White is over-rated.
      Agbonlahor told Football Insider: “Arsenal’s defence is nowhere near good enough to get top-four.
      “For me, Ben White is very overrated, I watched him against Newcastle towards the end of the season and he was absolutely dreadful.
      “He lacks pace, he lacks aggression. Yes, he’s good on the ball but he’s not a defensive midfielder, he’s a centre-half.”
      Highest-paid player at every Premier League club
      Mohamed Salah’s new contract at Liverpool has doubled his wages, making him one of the highest earning Premier League players.
      The new deal, which was announced on Friday, ended months of speculation regarding the forward’s future, with his previous deal due to expire in the summer of 2023.
      His new £400,000 deal makes him the Premier League’s joint-second highest paid player.
      How do you feel about your club’s highest paid player?
      Thomas Partey is on £200k-a-week. Great when he isn’t injured…

      Parlour makes Martinez wish
      Ray Parlour has admitted that he wants Arsenal to sign Lisandro Martinez.
      He said to talkSPORT: “I know they are in for him from Ajax. I am looking down the spine of the team and I think that’s where they might strengthen.
      “As you mentioned, Tielemans is a really good ball-player. They have got Partey, who had his injury problems last season.
      “He missed quite a lot of games. You have got Lokonga, who is going to get better and he’s still young.
      “But I think that’s the area. Xhaka is getting that little bit older. I think that’s the area they really need to look at.
      “Get balls through the line and Tielemans would be ideal. Let’s hope, with my Arsenal hat on, they can somehow get him over the line, and in the ideal world, get everyone signed up by the pre-season tour.”
      But Gunners still in the hunt for Argentina star
      Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano insists Arsenal are “still there” when it comes to signing Lisandro Martinez.
      In a boost to the Gunners, the Ajax player wants to join the Premierl League.
      Romano tweeted: “Manchester United official proposal for Lisandro Martinez, better than Arsenal’s one but not enough yet. Arsenal are still there.
      “Man United also pushing to agree on personal terms with Lisandro – ten Hag, key factor.
      “Lisandro will ask Ajax to leave, as he wants PL move.”
      Man Utd ‘make £39m offer’ for Arsenal target Martinez
      Manchester United have reportedly made a £39.6 million offer for Lisandro Martinez as they look to hijack the transfer from rivals Arsenal.
      The Ajax defender is in hot demand and some of the biggest Premier League clubs are set to scrap over him.
      The Gunners have already seen their £34m for Argentine defender rejected, leaving the door open for Erik ten Hag to raid his former club.
      The Mirror report the Red Devils have lodged a £39m bid, which falls close to the Dutch club’s £43m evaluation.
      Ten Hag has identified the defender as United look to fix their leaky defence.
      Arsenal ‘should sign’ Tielemens, says Nicol
      It’s shocking Arsenal haven’t made a formal move for Leicester ace Youri Tielemans, according to Steve Nicol.
      Speaking to ESPN, he said: “I am surprised someone like Arsenal haven’t gone in to sign Tielemens.
      “I think Arsenal should have gone and signed this guy.
      “Granit Xhaka is a good Premier League player, but I don’t think he is good enough to push Arsenal into the top four or certainly challenge for any major competition.
      “I think Tielemans and Thomas Partey would be a great partnership in the middle of the park.
      “So, I am surprised there hasn’t been more talk of Tielemans, especially from an Arsenal point of view.”
      Pride In London
      Gunners boss Mikel Arteta and his players have surprised Arsenal’s LGBT+ supporters group ahead of the Pride In London march today.
      Rob Holding signed autographs and posed for photos with the group and the club tweeted their support.

      Guen-done-zi
      Matteo Guendouzi has completed his permanent switch to Marseille from Arsenal following his stunning loan spell last season.
      But he will be playing for a new manager after Argentine boss Jorge Sampaoli sensationally quit at the Stade Velodrome.
      Guendouzi enjoyed a brilliant 2021-22 campaign with the French side as he helped the club finish second in Ligue 1.
      He proved to be a key player under Sampaoli where he chipped in with five goals and 14 assists in 56 games in all competitions.
      Marseille are understood to have paid around £9million to turn his temporary stay into a permanent switch.
      A look at Arsenal’s new signings in USA pre-season tour

      And new No9 Gabriel Jesus is expected to alternate with Eddie Nketiah in attack.
      Vieira spotted in foot brace
      Arsenal new boy Fabio Vieira has picked up an injury BEFORE the club’s pre-season tour.
      Vieira, 22, joined the North London side last month in a deal worth £34million.
      Upon his arrival, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hailed him as a “special” player that is set to bolster his team’s attack.
      However, the midfielder has already hit a stumbling block before even putting on the red shirt.
      A picture posted on Instagram clearly shows his left ankle in a protective boot, indicating that he has already sustained an injury.
      According to football journalist James Benge, it is just a minor foot issue and he will face a race to be fit for the USA pre-season tour.

      Stay tuned
      Gabriel Jesus was spotted wearing his new Arsenal kit yesterday and walking around the Emirates in a video leaked online earlier this week.
      The clip shows the Brazil international, with what appears to be the club’s media team, while dressed in the full kit.
      The 25-year-old was wearing the No9 shirt – possibly bringing the guessing game over his new number to an end.
      Fans are waiting for the official announcement of Jesus’ move to the Gunners from Manchester City and the video suggests it is imminent.

      Arsenal send Nikolaj Moller back on loan
      Arsenal starlet Nikolaj Moller has returned to Dutch outfit FC Den Bosch on loan after his spell last season.
      The 19-year-old striker spent the second half of the 2021-22 campaign with the second division side.
      And Arsenal have decided to send the Sweden youth international back on loan to the club to continue his development.
      A statement from the Gunners read: “We wish Nikolaj all the best at FC Den Bosch and look forward to seeing his development in the upcoming season.”

      Good morning Arsenal fans
      Fabio Vieira has picked up an injury BEFORE the club’s pre-season tour.
      Vieira, 22, joined the North London side last month in a deal worth £34million.
      But the midfielder has already hit a stumbling block before even putting on the red shirt.
      A picture posted on Instagram clearly shows his left ankle in a protective boot, indicating that he has already sustained an injury.
      But according to football journalist James Benge, it is just a minor foot issue.

      But Matteo Guendouzi has completed his permanent switch to Marseille from Arsenal following his stunning loan spell last season.
      Tielemans ‘should play for Arsenal’
      It’s shocking Arsenal haven’t made a formal move for Leicester ace Youri Tielemans, according to Steve Nicol.
      Nicol reckons Tielemans has outgrown the Foxes, and would make a ideal midfield partnership with Gunners star Thomas Partey in the place of Granit Xhaka.
      Speaking to ESPN, he said: “I am surprised someone like Arsenal haven’t gone in to sign him. I think he ends up staying at Leicester City. I think he’s better than Leicester, to be honest.
      “I think Arsenal should have gone and signed this guy. Granit Xhaka is a good Premier League player, but I don’t think he is good enough to push Arsenal into the top four or certainly challenge for any major competition.
      “I think Tielemans and Thomas Partey would be a great partnership in the middle of the park. So, I am surprised there hasn’t been more talk of Tielemans, especially from an Arsenal point of view.”
      Man United will hope Arsenal don’t take heed of Nicol’s advice as they also want the Belgium international.

      Nou development
      Barcelona are odds-on favourites to sign Leeds winger Raphinha.
      That’s according to bookmakers Sky Bet, who’ve priced the Spanish heavyweights at 1/2 to clinch the Brazilian’s signature.
      Chelsea looked certain to secure his services having agreed a £55m deal plus add-ons with Leeds.
      But he’s now drifted out to 13/8 to arrive at Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes.
      A stay at Leeds is available at 18/1, with Arsenal and Newcastle offered at 20/1 and 25/1 respectively.
      Manchester United are major outsiders, coming in at 40/1.

      Parlour makes Martinez wish
      Ray Parlour has admitted that he wants Arsenal to sign Lisandro Martinez.
      He said to talkSPORT: “I know they are in for him from Ajax. I am looking down the spine of the team and I think that’s where they might strengthen.
      “As you mentioned, Tielemans is a really good ball-player. They have got [Thomas] Partey, who had his injury problems last season.

      Gunner be interesting
      New signing Fabio Vieira now faces a race against time to prepare for the Gunners’ upcoming pre-season tour in the United States.

      Not so fab
      Arsenal new boy Fabio Vieira has picked up an injury BEFORE the club’s pre-season tour.
      Vieira, 22, joined the North London side last month in a deal worth £34million.
      Upon his arrival, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hailed him as a “special” player that is set to bolster his team’s attack.
      He said: “I am very excited that we have identified and signed such a special talent.
      “Fabio is a very creative player that will bring high quality and versatility to our attacking play.”
      However, the midfielder has already hit a stumbling block before even putting on the red shirt.
      A picture posted on Instagram clearly shows his left ankle in a protective boot, indicating that he has already sustained an injury.
      But according to football journalist James Benge, it is just a minor foot issue.

      Prem king
      Man City and Liverpool are favourites to be crowned 2022-23 Premier League champions.
      That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who are predicting another two-horse race with Pep Guardiola’s Citizens available at 8/13 and Liverpool at 12/5.
      Liverpool, who start against promoted Fulham, are next at 12/5 having missed out by a single point last term.
      Tottenham are now considered third-favourites at 14/1 after a flurry of incomings.
      Antonio Conte’s side have signed Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster to join Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski, who arrived in January.
      They are ahead of London rivals Chelsea (16/1) who have seen Romelu Lukaku, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leave the club. The futures of Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta are also in doubt, while Barcelona are now favourites to sign Raphinha.
      Manchester United are 25/1 to clinch the title during Erik ten Hag’s debut campaign, ahead of Arsenal (40/1) and Newcastle (100/1).

      On the Lis-t
      Man Utd are trying to reach an agreement with Ajax for Arsenal target Lisandro Martinez.
      Meanwhile, United’s proposed offer to Tyrell Malacia includes a four-year contract with the option of a 5th.
      And according to The Athletic, his medical may happen this weekend.

      ‘Got to fix the midfield’ – Kevin Campbell names two signings Arsenal must make after Gabriel Jesus’ transfer arrival

      The striker is set to become the North Londoners’ fourth signing of the summer transfer window following the arrivals of winger Marquinhos, goalkeeper Matt Turner and midfielder Fabio Vieira.
      But Campbell believes Arsenal need even more additions in attack and the middle of the park ahead of the coming season.
      The former striker insists Mikel Arteta needs more than Vieira to “fix the midfield” and advised him to push on for Leicester star Youri Tielemans.
      The 52-year-old also believes another striker is needed following the departures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

      “I still think Arsenal need an alternative striker, a big striker, someone who, when teams bank up and it’s not going so well, someone who you could fire crosses in, and he can get on the end of it.
      “I think Arsenal have missed that change of alternative in the set up and the flexibility of Jesus as well means he could start as a nine or he can play wide, he’s comfortable anywhere.”
      Jesus was spotted wearing his new Arsenal kit and walking around the Emirates in a video leaked online earlier this week.
