      The winger has attracted interest from top Premier League, Bundesliga as well as Serie A clubs and the North Londoners could seize the opportunity.
      Romano told wettfreunde: “One of the names I wanted to mention is Mudryk from Shakhtar.
      “He’s one of the most interesting wingers in the market that many clubs are keen on signing on him, from England, the Bundesliga, from Italy too because he was one of the players followed by Juventus few months ago.
      “And now could be an opportunity, so let’s see what Arsenal decide to do.”

      This is after Arsenal turned down the opportunity to sign Asensio, who was offered by his agent.
      The winger was also offered to Manchester United and is looking for a fresh start.
      Although the Gunners are in no “direct negotiation” with Real, they could still consider a “last minute” swoop for the Spain international.
      Romano added: “Marco Asensio has been offered by his agent to many important English clubs including Arsenal, Man Utd in the last two weeks.

      “At the moment for Man Utd, he is not the priority. He was one of the options in case the Antony deal did not go through.
      “But now it is almost completed, so it’s not the case and I don’t see them signing one more winger at this point in the market.
      “For Arsenal, there is no direct negotiation with Real Madrid but the relationship with Jorge Mendes is always very good, so could be a last minute idea but at the moment it’s not a negotiation.

      “He wants regular playing time. But in case he won’t be playing, he will stay at Real Madrid and then next summer, big opportunity to leave on a free.
      “So, his agent is potentially working on a free transfer for next summer in case nothing happens this week.” More

      According to David Ornstein, Kalajdzic will sign a five-year contract with Wolves with an option for an additional year.
      The Austrian has three assists in as many games for Stuttgart this season, and bagged six goals in 15 league games last term despite injuries severely hindering his campaign.
      He stands at a towering 6ft 6in and would likely be the long-term successor of Raul Jimenez, with the departure of Fabio Silva also meaning Wolves have no natural back-up.
      The 25-year-old was linked with Manchester United earlier in the window.

      Former interim United boss Ralf Rangnick, who is now the Austrian national team coach, warned him off of a move to Old Trafford.
      Rangnick believed the forward would benefit from the stability of another season in the Bundesliga.
      However, Kalajdzic clearly seems to believe his interests ahead of the World Cup would be better served by securing a transfer to Wolves.
      The £15m Wolves will splash on the striker will see their spending climb to approximately £120m.

      In terms of outgoings, Wolves have seen Morgan Gibbs-White depart to Nottingham Forest in a deal which could rise to just shy of £45m, while captain Conor Coady left on loan to Everton. More

      And the Blues’ first game in the Champions League against Zagreb is now on Tuesday September 6.
      So Thomas Tuchel’s side would have only had two days to prepare for the Champions League tie if their match against the Hammers went ahead on Sunday as originally planned.

      And the Prem’s lack of clarity ahead of the game has caused supporters from both clubs trusts’ to deliver a scathing joint statement to the league’s decision-makers.

      “It was totally unacceptable for the fixture date to be altered with only a week’s notice, however, the broadcasting companies and the Premier League have still not confirmed the kick-off time – this is a disgrace.”
      “All parties have been aware since June the fixtures were announced in June that this game may have to be moved due to UEFA clashes.
      “It is unacceptable that a comprehensive contingency plan was not created in advance to avoid the existing situation. The lack of planning and foresight has had an awful impact on supporters.
      “Tickets have been bought, accommodation has been booked, travel has been paid for and plans have been confirmed. For supporters to not know the kick-off time five days in advance is deeply unacceptable.
      “Supporters are being treated with complete contempt.
      “The issue must be solved as a matter of urgency.”
      The Premier League are yet to respond to the statement made by the fans.

      According to Fabrizio Romano, Antonio Conte’s side are discussing a loan deal with an option-to-buy.
      Everton have also submitted an enquiry over the Welshman’s availability.
      However, Leeds would also be more than happy to keep him after he started the last two Premier League games.
      Should James leave Elland Road, it would represent the third club he has represented in the space of a year.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      James, 24, joined Leeds from Manchester United last summer for a club-record £30million.
      He was one of only a few senior players who remained fit throughout the majority of the campaign, and contributed four goals and five assists in 34 league games.
      In the two years prior he spent with Man United, the speedster managed nine goals and nine assists in all competitions.
      James’ pace and work rate are highly desirable attributes for any team, despite his relative lack of goal or assist output while playing Premier League football.

      Everton look set to lose starlet Anthony Gordon in a £60m transfer to Chelsea so James would naturally come in as a like-for-like replacement.
      Leeds have already lost star winger Raphinha and England midfielder Kalvin Phillips to Barcelona and Manchester City respectively for a combined £100m.

      However, seven points from a possible 12 at the start of the season – with new signings such as Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen and Tyler Adams starting the season well – have alleviated some early fears of relegation.
      Leeds also want to sign Hwang Hee-Chan from Wolves, but will be joined in their pursuit by Everton if The Toffees fail to sign Ben Brereton Diaz. More
