      However it is thought a move to the National Women’s Soccer League is not on the cards.
      And various reports claim the player is closing in on a switch to the Gunners’ WSL side who reportedly had two record-breaking bids knocked back in January.

      The striker, who is part of the Lionesses squad competing at the World Cup this summer, is among the players who shone during England’s Euros triumph last year. 
      Russo netted four goals in the contest coming off the bench in all six games for the Lionesses.

      And she also scored the winner that saw the team become the first side to beat Arsenal at the Emirates in the WSL last November.
      Russo’s journey into football began with her playing for the Under-10s of grassroots club Bearsted FC before spells in the academies of Charlton and Chelsea. 
      She made her senior debut at club level for Chelsea in 2016 before spells at Brighton and US college side North Carolina Tar Heels from  January 2017 to August 2020. 
      Last season Russo finished as United’s joint top scorer in the WSL with 10 goals and one assist in 20 games.
      Red Devils boss Marc Skinner had hoped to keep her with talks reported to be ongoing last season.
      It has been claimed the club had not initally meet Russo’s wage demands until the late stages of talks concerning a new deal.

      Hojlund scored five goals in his first two games for his national sideCredit: AFP
      United had turned to Hojlund as a cheaper alternative after they deemed Tottenham’s valuation of over £100million for Harry Kane to be too much.
      However The Daily Mail report that after a meeting between Atalanta bosses the club will demand £86m for the 20-year-old Dane.
      Hojlund has four years remaining on his Atalanta contract having signed for the club last summer from Austrian side SK Sturm Graz.
      The striker is in high demand this summer after a breakout season for Atalanta that saw him bag 11 goals and six assists in 36 games.

      His form for his national side particularly caught the eye with the forward scoring a hat-trick against Finland on his international debut.
      He followed that up with two goals in Denmark’s subsequent European Championship qualifier against Kazakhstan.
      Chelsea are also monitoring Hojlund with both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Romelu Lukaku expected to leave the club.
      The high fee being demanded for Hojlund could see United turn their attentions elsewhere.

      Erik Ten Hag favours signing a proven striker which led to the club’s initial interest in Spurs’ Kane.
      United have explored younger and cheaper alternatives to Kane with Hojlund falling into this category.
      The Red Devils’ were hoping that the forward would have been on the market for a fee of £45m.
      There is still hope that given Ten Hag and Hojlund share the same agent, United could land the forward for a lower fee.
      One alternative could be Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo-Muani who United have been keeping tabs on.
      It is thought that Frankfurt would demand £68.7m for the 24-year-old French World Cup star.
      The Daily Mail also report that United have tracked Brighton’s Evan Ferguson although the long term contract he signed with the Seagulls in April could prove to be a stumbling block. More

      Arsenal set to seal £110MILLION Declan Rice transfer as Chelsea, Man Utd and Bayern fall out of running for West Ham ace

      by

      WEST HAM are resigned to the fact that Declan Rice has set his heart on a move to Arsenal.And plans to start a bidding war with Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are likely to be shelved by the Europa Conference League winners.

      Hammers boss David Moyes is understood to prefer a deal with Chelsea involving Conor Gallagher in part-exchange.
      But Rice has made it clear that he is not interested in a return to the club who released him at the age of 14.
      German champions Bayern have already dropped their pursuit of the 24-year-old England star after being told Rice wants to remain in the Premier League.
      And Manchester United are reluctant to spend huge money on another holding midfielder after buying £60million Casemiro last summer.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      That has left the way clear for Arsenal to complete their priority signing of the summer and negotiations with West Ham are now at an advanced stage.
      The Gunners are looking to pay a club record £90m for Rice, while the Hammers value him at £110m.
      It is expected that the two clubs will agree on a £100m compromise, with the potential for a further £10m in bonus payments and add-ons.
      No formal bid has yet been made by Arsenal, who were unhappy at the way their January moves for Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo played out when a series of offers were publicly rejected.

      They prefer to remain in confidential talks with West Ham until a fee and terms of payment can be agreed and are confident of securing the player’s signature in the next few weeks.
      Rice is on England duty but will be on standby to confirm personal terms and undergo a medical from next week.
      He believes he fits perfectly into Mikel Arteta’s policy of building a team around hungry young players who can grow together for the next five or six years.
      And the opportunity to play Champions League football is another huge incentive for the midfielder, who has been told he can leave West Ham after rejecting a new £200,000-a-week contract. More

      In recent weeks, Real Madrid have joined the race to sign the Lilywhites’ all-time record scorer.
      And according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, United are now “looking at other options” as they search for a new striker.
      The report states negotiations between Man Utd and Tottenham are “not advancing at all” and that Erik ten Hag’s men believe Spurs “never wanted to sell Kane to them”.
      United are also unwilling to become embroiled in a “two-month saga”.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Kane was the centre of a long, drawn-out transfer pursuit from Manchester City two years ago.
      But Spurs eventually held onto their man – who has 213 Premier League goals, 47 adrift of Alan Shearer’s record.
      He could yet leave England amid interest from Real Madrid as they seek a replacement for Karim Benzema.
      But news of Kylian Mbappe potentially being on the market could knock Kane down Real’s pecking order.

      The 20-year-old scored 16 goals in 42 appearances for the Serie A side in the 2022/23 season.
      When asked earlier this week about interest from Man Utd, Hojlund told Danish media outlet Tipsbladet: “It is a huge club, so I must have done something right if it says that they want me.
      “We have to see what happens. As you see and hear, I could well imagine that a lot could happen in relation to a couple of strikers this summer.
      “There are many clubs that lack a nine, so something will definitely happen in relation to that, and then we will have to see if I am in it.” More

      Man Utd have Mason Mount transfer bid REJECTED after offering just HALF of Chelsea’s sky-high valuation

      It comes as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his contract after talks over a new deal broke down.
      Man Utd are considered the frontrunners for Mount as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his squad this summer.
      But their opening £40m bid has been rejected out of hand by Chelsea.
      It is believed to be a long way off the valuation made by Stamford Bridge chiefs.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Mount has played 195 games for his boyhood club, contributing 33 goals and 37 assists.
      He lifted the Champions League in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel, but fell out of favour during the 2022-23 campaign after Graham Potter took charge.
      Owner Todd Boehly is keen to avoid players departing for free and so has made it a priority to shift stars with just one year left on their contracts.
      But Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Man Utd should go for Declan Rice rather than Mount.

      Rice, 24, who is best friends with Mount, looks set to join Arsenal after West Ham chairman David Sullivan confirmed the Europa Conference League triumph was his final game for the club.
      But Carragher feels United need to be in for Rice over Mount as he told Metro.co.uk: “Mason Mount is an upgrade on Christian Eriksen in terms of where he plays.

      “But going back to Declan Rice, United are one of the few teams at the top who don’t play 4-3-3, it’s usually two midfielders with Bruno Fernandes.
      “Declan Rice and Mason Mount, they are very different players and it shouldn’t be one or the other but when you look at what Manchester United have got right now, I actually think Declan Rice would be a better fit for them. A lot more expensive of course.
      “I do think he (Mount) is a good player and I like him, I wanted Liverpool to get him. Lots of coaches have picked him and like him. 
      “There is already a good player in there but Declan Rice would suit United more than Mason Mount in terms of how they set up.” More

      He signed a year long-contract extension to extend his stay at the club last week.
      The goalkeeper’s crucial penalty save against title-rivals Notts County in April was enough to all-but confirm Wrexham’s promotion back to the Football League.
      And he has wasted no time in trying to recruit former Premier League stars to help Wrexham’s cause in League Two.
      Foster vlogged his entire Soccer Aid experience for his YouTube channel, and this included his recruitment drive.

      He said to Nani, 36, who was playing for the Soccer Aid World XI: “Nani hasn’t got a club everybody,
      “I think he should come to Wrexham.”
      Nani did not rule out the possibility of joining the Red Dragons, saying: “You never know.”
      But Foster was not convinced, simply saying: “Liar.”

      Nani is without a club after his contract with Australian side Melbourne Victory was not renewed.

      If Wrexham could secure the former-United man’s signature, he would be by far the most decorated player to join the club having won four Premier Leagues, the Champions League as well as the Euros with Portugal.
      He is not the first high-profile player to be linked with a move to Wrexham.
      Last month, Wales Euro 2016 hero Hal Robson Kanu offered to come out of retirement and donate his wages to charity to get in on the Welsh side’s Hollywood project.
      Wrexham owners Reynolds and McElhenney also embarked on a charm offensive to secure Gareth Bale’s signature after he left LAFC.
      The former Real Madrid man ultimately opted to retire from the game however.
