      Every Premier League squad’s value revealed with Arsenal biggest winners and Man Utd’s transfer failures highlighted

      by

      ARSENAL have increased the value of their squad more than any other Premier League club.Mikel Arteta’s side narrowly missed out on the title last season, falling away towards the end of the campaign as Manchester City clinched a fifth crown in six years.

      But it should not go unnoticed how much the Spaniard has improved his Gunners side – who finished fifth in 2021/22.
      And that has been shown through stats provided by Transfermarkt.
      Arsenal’s squad has cost £572million to assemble, with their current market value standing at £915m.
      That is an increase of £343m – £100m more than any other side in the division.

      How each Premier League team’s squad has changed in value
      Liverpool and Man City have also seen their squads improve in value since they purchased their players – by £154m and £150m respectively – with Pep Guardiola the only head coach boasting a set of players valued in excess of £1bn.
      Tottenham can also say they have marginally increased their squad’s worth by £43m.
      But at the other end of the scale come Chelsea and Manchester United.
      Todd Boehly’s £600m cash splash since arriving at Stamford Bridge 12 months ago has done little to improve the squad.

      And it has seen them drop to the bottom of the table when it comes to the value of their players compared to how much they arrived for.
      The West London club have spent £880m on their star-studded roster – more than any other team – with their value standing at £756m.
      That sees them pip Man Utd to the unwanted 20th place with a net loss of £-124m.
      Erik ten Hag’s men also hold a negative value of their squad at £-115m.
      Chelsea and United are two of just four clubs with a negative transfer value – along with Sheffield United and Wolves.
      Meanwhile, the other big winners from the list are Brighton – who hold a £243m squad value increase having developed the likes of Evan Ferguson, Moises Caicedo, Julio Enciso, Pervis Estupinan, Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March.
      Brentford, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have also increased their squad’s value by between £81m and £179m. More

      by

      Kane has been the subject of two bids from Bayern, with Spurs rejecting an initial £56million bid and the German club preparing a £68m follow-up offer.
      But, according to French outlet PSG Community, the French giants are now entering the race to sign the England captain.
      They report that both manager Luis Enrique’s and owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s priority is to sign a statement number nine and want to conclude a deal for Kane swiftly.
      Khelaifi has reportedly held talks with Kane’s representatives and the club are prepared to offer Kane a five year deal worth around £260,000-a-week.

      The outlet claim Kane’s brother and agent, Charlie, has already held talks with Al-Khelaifi in Paris.
      Kane only has one year on his Spurs deal and supremo Daniel Levy does not want to sell to an English club.
      The Parisians are reportedly willing to include midfielder Fabian Ruiz in the deal – with Ange Postecoglou on the lookout for a new midfielder this summer.
      PSG are in the market for a new forward with Kylian Mbappe being unsettled and looking for a move away.

      Reports emerged in L’Equipe that a number of players have complained to Khelaifi over the Mbappe’s conduct so far this summer.
      The forward labelled the club a “divisive” one that “attracts gossip” during an off-season interview.
      Al-Khelaifi reportedly shares in the players frustrations and has set a July 31 deadline for Mbappe to decide whether he will leave PSG this summer or stay at the club.
      It is unlikely that any club will land Harry Kane below £100m this summer with Spurs chairman Levy remaining steadfast in his asking price. More

      Liverpool prepared to let out-of-favour defender Nat Phillips leave Anfield to join Leeds – but only on permanent deal

      by

      LEEDS want Liverpool defender Nathaniel Phillips — but a loan request may not work for the Reds.The centre-half, 26, can leave Anfield but they would prefer a sale while the Elland Road outfit are trying their luck for a short-term deal.
      Phillips played just twice for Liverpool last season – and Liverpool want to get rid of him permanentlyCredit: Getty
      Phillips came through the Liverpool academy and began to be involved in Jurgen Klopp’s first team squads in 2018.
      He was loaned out to Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart when Liverpool won the 2019-20 Premier League, however.
      He notably played a key role in their 2020-21 season – which saw Liverpool qualify for the Champions League despite a tough start to the season.
      A defensive injury crisis saw the likes of Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez all unavailable as Liverpool slipped down the table.

      Klopp therefore relied on Phillips as well as Ben Pearson – who they signed from Swansea that January, as they went on to secure a third-placed finish in the Premier League.
      Phillips in particular impressed, but was loaned out to Championship side Bournemouth the following season.
      On his departure Klopp said: “We would have loved to have kept him here, to be honest, with all the things that happened in the last few years here in the centre-half positions.
      “Nat was incredibly reliable and a great figure here at the training ground.”

      But his time at Liverpool is now looking numbered with the defender making just two Premier League appearances last season.
      Phillips has made a total of 29 appearances for Liverpool, scoring once and also assisting once.
      Meanwhile, Liverpool will let Dutch defender Sepp van den Berg head for Jurgen Klopp’s old club Mainz on loan.
      The star, 21, had an unlucky spell in Germany with Schalke last season but it will not stop him going back for a year.  More

      Perisic is reportedly ready to rip up his Spurs contract a year early to complete the free transfer.
      As a result, Ange Postecoglou is now looking for a replacement as he continues his Tottenham rebuild.
      According to FootballTransfers, Spurs are monitoring Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella as a potential replacement.
      Chelsea are keen to sell the Spaniard this summer, although their asking price is not known.

      The report adds that Postecoglou wants to sign Cucurella and play him as an inverted full-back in his Spurs system.
      Cucurella only joined Chelsea last year and still has five years remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
      However, he endured a difficult campaign in West London, registering two assists in 33 appearances.
      His future at the club has been in doubt since the end of last season, with Newcastle United previously linked with the 24-year-old.

      Everton join Newcastle in transfer race for Championship wonderkid but will have to meet £15m asking price

      by

      EVERTON boss Sean Dyche wants to win the race for Blackburn midfield gem Adam Wharton.But the Goodison chief will have to find straight cash to beat Newcastle to his signature as he closes in on a major capture.

      Dyche was prepared to let striker Ellis Simms go as part of the deal but Blackburn would rather have cash than take an exchange and Everton are trying to raise it.
      Ironically the sale of Simms to Coventry may help that but they still plan to shift others in a summer revolution.
      Rovers would need around £15million guaranteed for Wharton and Everton could go that far, particularly if they find a buyer for Amadou Onana.
      Dyche could also have a better sales pitch than Newcastle, who see Wharton, 19, as a long-term prospect — and even one they would loan back to Blackburn.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Everton may offer the top talent an immediate crack at the Premier League. Their needs are greater and they have lost Tom Davies already from that part of their squad.
      It would be a blow for Blackburn to lose Wharton so soon but owners Venky’s must balance the books after writing another £20m cheque recently following a failed promotion campaign.
      Venky’s are also faced with problems transferring funds from India because of new government regulations in their home country.
      West Ham are keen on buying Onana but behind the scenes they are not being encouraged.

      The Belgian international may want to go to a club in the Champions League if he moves.
      Meanwhile, Blackburn are offering centre-half Danny Batth, 33 in September, a two-year deal as they plot a raid on Sunderland.
      Rovers want Batth, who is in his last year with the Black Cats and is not getting an extension after that because of his age.
       The Ewood Park club are hoping Batth pushes to leave and former boss Tony Mowbray decides he will not be a starter so they can land him cheaply.
      Luton’s bids for keeper Thomas Kaminski are being brushed aside by Blackburn.
      The Premier League new boys have made a second attempt to recruit the Belgian shot-stopper but the offer starts at under £1m.
      Even with extras that  is miles short of what Rovers want.
      Hatters see Kaminski competing for game time and may have to look elsewhere for cover. More
