      Out of Nic
      Arsenal are struggling to offload club-record signing Nicolas Pepe on a permanent transfer with a loan to Spain on the cards.
      Pepe, who cost a whopping £72million in 2019, will be allowed to depart the Emirates this summer after being deemed as surplus to requirements by manager Mikel Arteta.
      According to PA, the winger’s £140,000-a-week salary is proving to be a sticking point for potential suitors.
      A loan move is the most likely outcome for the Ivory Coast international, who mustered just one goal and two assists in 20 Premier League games last season
      Wilshere on Richarlison
      Tottenham star signing Richarlison would not get into Arsenal’s starting XI, claims their former star Jack Wilshere.
      Wilshere told talkSPORT: “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 Richarlison 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”

      Kev to be done
      Arsenal legend Kevin Campbell insists his former club needs to sign another midfielder and striker after sealing Gabriel Jesus this summer.
      Campbell told talkSPORT: “They’ve got to fix the midfield, it needs more goals, it needs more creativity, hence [Youri] 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”
      Arsenal’s Moller delight
      Arsenal youngster Nikolaj Moller has returned to Dutch outfit Den Bosch on loan after his spell last season.
      Moller spent the second half of the 2021-2022 campaign with the second-division side.
      The 19-year-old proved to be a key player for Jack de Gier’s men as he helped the Blue White Dragons finish mid-table.
      In total the striker featured in 11 Ereste Divisie matches – chipping in with two goals and a solitary assist
      Matteo Gone-douzi
      Matteo Guendouzi has completed his permanent move to Marseille from Arsenal after his stunning loan spell last season.
      But Guendouzi will be playing for a new manager after Jorge Sampaoli sensationally quit at the Velodrome.
      L’OM are understood to have paid around £9million to turn the midfielder’s temporary stay into a permanent switch.
      Announcing his departure, an Arsenal 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”
      Not so Fab
      Arsenal signing Fabio Vieira has picked up an injury before the club’s pre-season tour.
      Vieira joined the Gunners last month from Porto in a deal worth £34million.
      However, the midfielder has already hit a stumbling block before even putting on the North Londoners’ red shirt.
      A picture posted on Instagram clearly shows the Portuguese ace’s left ankle in a protective boot, indicating that he has already sustained an injury.
      But according to journalist James Benge, it is just a minor foot issue

      Your the one
      Leicester star Youri Tielemans has agreed personal terms with Arsenal as he edges closer to departing the King Power Stadium.
      However it has been claimed that the Gunners are yet to make an official offer to the Foxes, with Manchester United and Newcastle joining the race to sign Tielemans.
      Transfer expert Ben Jacobs said: “Youri Tielemans update. Still no formal offers made. Tielemans wants to join Arsenal and Edu still in touch with his agent.
      “Arsenal have agreed terms, and worked on the deal for a year, but have never placed an official bid.
      “Fabio Vieira’s arrival doesn’t rule out Tielemans. Arsenal still deciding whether to bid. Erik ten Hag is also interested.
      “Tielemans was actually a Ralf Rangnick target but didn’t want to join Man Utd under him.
      “If Arsenal reach an agreement with Leicester, told Tielemans will sign. But for now, Arsenal haven’t decided on him.
      “The genuine interest from Man Utd may force Edu to make a decision quicker than expected, especially if ten Hag pitch proves appealing.”
      Dou it right
      Arsenal have opened talks with Lille star Amadou Onana’s representatives over a possible transfer this summer.
      According to RMC Sport, Onana has caught the Gunners’ attention but Mikel Arteta’s team face competition from rival London clubs.
      RMC Sport’s Sacha Tavolieri reports that other unnamed London clubs are also tracking the midfielder.
      So the North Londoners may want to act fast if they want to seal a deal for the Belgium international
      More on Gnabry
      Speaking in June, Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer admitted that talks to extend Arsenal target Serge Gnabry’s stay have stalled.
      And Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic recently declared that Bayern may have to sell Gnabry in a cut-price fee if he fails to agree terms on a new deal.
      Asked by Sky Sport Germany whether the forward will be sold if he doesn’t renew, Salihamidzic said: “I’m very clear about that, he’s a great guy.
      “We really want to keep him. We would love to extend with him. I think we showed him the necessary appreciation. I hope that he chooses FC Bayern.
      “We will intensify the talks over the next few weeks. But if a player doesn’t want to decide for the club then it’s only fair to tell us so that we can find a solution that makes everyone happy”

      Gunner Gnab him
      Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eyeing up a possible swoop to bring former team-mate Serge Gnabry back to the Emirates this summer.
      The Gunners are on the lookout for a winger after missing out on Leeds star Raphinha, who looks poised to link up with Barcelona while Chelsea are also keeping tabs.
      Gnabry is facing an uncertain future in Bavaria with the player having just a year left on his deal at the Allianz Arena.
      According to 90min, the North Londoners are closely following his contract situation at Bayern.
      Arsenal would be open to securing his services for a second time after they signed him from Stuttgart for £100,000 in 2011.
      It has also been claimed that the Gunners have accepted defeat in their pursuit of Raphinha, and are now keeping a watchful eye on the Germany international
      Mart made in heaven
      Manchester United have made a £39.6 million offer for Ajax star Lisandro Martinez as they look to hijack the transfer from rivals Arsenal.
      The Gunners have already seen their £34m bid for Martinez rejected, leaving the door open for United manager Erik ten Hag to raid his former club.
      According to The Mirror, the Red Devils have lodged a £39m offer, which falls closer to the Dutch giants’ £43m evaluation.
      They add that the Manchester giants have told Ajax they will pay £35.3m up front with a package of add-ons worth a further £4.3m
      Jesus video leaks
      Gabriel Jesus’ Arsenal shirt number has been revealed in a leaked video of him at the Emirates.
      Footage shows Jesus walking around his new home ground in the Gunners shirt with the No9 on his back.
      The leaked video appears to show the striker with the club’s media team preparing for the unveiling of the signing.
      Arsenal fans are now waiting for the official announcement but the deal is all but done
      Hickey going to Brentford
      Arsenal have been dealt a transfer blow in their pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey with the left-back set to join Brentford in a £14million deal.
      Hickey 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 the Gunners have always been in competition with the Bees in the race to secure theScotland international’s services.
      And according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Brentford could announce the signing of the 20-year-old next week after his medical

      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.
      Nketiah didn’t stop there as he also assisted Albert Sambi Lokonga’s goal.
      Folarin Balogun sealed the North Londoners’ triumph in the second half
      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.

      And the Frenchman will rival Nottingham Forest and Southampton for the 22-year-old Molineux ace.
      Gibbs-White spent last season with Sheffield United in the Championship but is now looking to get himself some regular Premier League action.
      Palace have already landed Cheick Doucoure from Lens for £18m — a deal SunSport first revealed back on May 1.
      While Derby whizkid Malcolm Ebiowei, 18, has also signed on as Vieira reshapes his squad.

new £600k-a-week PSG deal, Tottenham AGREE Clement Lenglet transfer
      Doucoure, 22, stood by Palace despite Leeds’ late bid after their Arsenal legend boss called him to make sure he joined.
      Vieira is also keen on Burnley’s Dwight McNeil, who could be available after Vincent Kompany took over at Turf Moor.
      West Ham also admire 22-year-old McNeil but the Clarets are likely to want more than the £10m the London clubs would be ready to pay.
      Palace are also in the running for Swansea’s Flynn Downes, who is also fancied by Leicester and by Wolves — as a potential replacement for Gibbs-White — and could go for about £8m.

      With the Gunners in the market for another winger, the Ivory Coast international will fall further down the pecking order.
      SunSport recently stated how the North London outfit fear being stuck with the 27-year-old having had zero interest in the forward.
      And according to PA, Pepe’s £140,000-a-week salary is proving to be a sticking point for potential suitors.
      Arsenal are also claimed to be asking for too much money for the 2020 FA Cup winner.

      Reporter Mark Mann-Bryans tweeted: “Arsenal are now openly seeking suitors for club-record signing Nicolas Pepe.
      “Given valuation/wages, a loan move away from the club is the most likely outcome.

      Arsenal enquire over Benfica left-back Alex Grimaldo in £7m transfer after losing out to Brentford for Aaron Hickey

      by

      ARSENAL have reportedly contacted Benfica over a possible deal for Alex Grimaldo having missed out on the signing of Aaron Hickey.Mikel Arteta is keen for a left-back to deputise for Kieran Tierney with Nuno Tavares guilty of inconsistent performances following his arrival last year.
      Benfica left-back Alex Grimaldo has been linked with a switch to Arsenal this summerCredit: EPA
      The Gunners boss is willing to allow the Portugal youth international to depart on loan to gain valuable first team experience.
      And Arteta is desperate to provide adequate back-up for Scottish star Tierney, where he had identified the defender’s compatriot Hickey as a possibility.
      But the Bologna starlet, 20, is understood to be closing in on a switch to Brentford in a £14million move.

      According to Record, the North London outfit have made an enquiry to Benfica over the availability of Grimaldo.
      It has been claimed that, along with contacting the Primeira Liga side, they have also been in touch with the player’s representatives.
      And Arsenal could land the ex-Barcelona academy ace in a cut-price deal with his contract at the Estadio da Luz to expire in 2023.

      Chelsea closing in on £45m Sterling transfer, Blues favourite to land De Ligt, Kimpembe latest, Ziyech to AC Milan

      by

      CHELSEA are closing in on a £45million deal for Man City forward Raheem Sterling, according to reports.Meanwhile, battle for Raphinha is far from over as Barcelona are said to have put in a staggering £60 million bid – matching Chelsea’s offer.
      And Chelsea are in need of some defensive reinforcements with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen departing from Stamford Bridge.
      The Blues are reportedly interested in Juventus star Matthijs de Ligt but the Old Lady have demanded for Timo Werner in return.
      But reports suggest that Chelsea are also chasing Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe.

      IN: None
      OUT: Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid), Andreas Christensen (Barcelona), Danny Drinkwater (released), Charly Musonda (released), Jake Clarke-Salter (released), Lucas Bergstrom (Peterborough, loan), Sam McClelland (Barrow, loan)

      Ron his way
      Chelsea are at the front of the queue to offer Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo Champions League football.
      Ronaldo sensationally informed United he wants to quit the club this summer.
      The Red Devils are determined to stand firm and refuse to sell but the five-time Ballon d’Or winners insists they should give the green light to any acceptable bids.
      And that could see the star forward join the Blues, who finished third last season – and therefore have a seat at Europe’s top competition.
      Manager Thomas Tuchel is on the hunt for a new striker following Romelu Lukaku’s season-long loan to Inter Milan.
      That leaves Timo Werner and Kai Havertz as the only players who can really play up front this coming season
      Ziyech agrees AC Milan move
      Chelsea ace Hakim Ziyech has agreed to join AC Milan, according to Calciomercato.
      Ziyech is set to move to Milan on a season-long loan deal, which will include an obligation to buy.
      The fee to make the winger’s move permanent will reportedly be set at £21million though the Blues are seeking a further £4m.
      That will mark another notable departure from the West Londoners’ frontline after Romelu Lukaku, who also moved on loan in the Serie A as he returned to Inter Milan

      Kimpembe interest latest
      Chelsea are targeting Paris Saint-Germain star Presnel Kimpembe this summer.
      The Blues were considering a move for PSG’s £34million-rated Kimpembe in the past two transfer windows.
      According to Goal, that “interest from Chelsea still exists” over the centre-back.
      It seems the West Londoners are keen again after seeing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leave the club
      Chelsea favourites for De Ligt
      Chelsea have emerged as the odds on favourites to land Juventus star Matthijs de Ligt.
      De Ligt has been linked with a move away from the Serie A and Sky Bet are pricing a transfer to Stamford Bridge at 8/11.
      The Blues are desperate to sign a defender or two this summer following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
      Naturally, there have been rumours of Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag and the Netherlands international linking up again, with Sky Bet pricing the move at 8/1.
      Ten Hag was the Ajax boss when the 22-year-old helped the Dutch side to the semi-finals of the Champions League, and made the defender the club’s youngest ever captain at 18 years old
      Mo Salah reminder
      Liverpool star Mohamed Salah was prepared to return to Chelsea before his new Anfield contract made him the highest-paid player in the club’s history, according to SunSport’s Ken Lawrence.
      The Blues’ new owner Todd Boehly lined up Salah as talks with the Reds stalled over a new three-year deal.
      The forward, through agent Ramy Abbas, had made it clear to Fenway Sports Group that he would consider returning to Stamford Bridge, where he spent two years after joining in 2014.
      The Chelsea threat forced a major rethink before handing the Egypt international a deal which will see him bank at least £62million in total.
      It was a major factor in Kop owners FSG coming up with a deal worth a whopping £400,000 a week
      Chelsea close to Sterling
      Chelsea are closing in on the £45million transfer of Manchester City star Raheem Sterling.
      According to the Daily Mail, a deal is set to be struck in the coming days which will see Sterling make the switch to Stamford Bridge from the Etihad.
      The 27-year-old looks on course to pen a four-year deal in West London.
      The England international has spoken with Blues boss Thomas Tuchel and those conversations have only added to his desire to leave City for Chelsea.
      The forward is among the club’s top targets as they appear likely to miss out on Leeds star Raphinha

      Raphinha edging towards Barca move
      Barcelona are close to agreeing a deal to sign Raphinha, according to journalist Gerard Romero.
      The transfer guru claims Barca and Leeds are set to agree a £60milion fee which will see the Brazilian move to the Nou Camp.
      And the winger is reportedly close to accepting a £115,000 a week deal with the Spanish giants.
      Romero also claims Raphinha turned down an approach from Newcastle.
      Ziyech agrees AC Milan move
      Hakim Ziyech has agreed to join AC Milan, according to Calciomercato.
      The Moroccan is set to move to the Serie A champions on a season-long loan deal which will include an obligation to buy.
      The fee to make the move permanent will reportedly be set at £21million though the Blues are seeking a further £4m.
      Sterling selling house to Alexander-Arnold
      Manchester City star Raheem Sterling is ‘negotiating’ to sell his £4.5million Cheshire home to Liverpool defender and England team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold, according to the Mirror.
      Alexander-Arnold is set to move out of his current south Manchester home, which is on the same road as Reds shot-stopper Alisson and ex-Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
      And with the right-back ready to purchase Sterling’s house it is possible the City star is preparing to move down south.
      Sterling has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea this summer but the Blues are yet to agree a fee with City for the winger.
      Go for Ronaldo says Laboeuf
      Former Chelsea star Frank Laboeuf has advised Thomas Tuchel to sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, not Neymar.
      He told ESPN: “I would pick Ronaldo because they need someone to finish the actions and score and be more clinical.
      “Neymar is not going to happen, I don’t think Tuchel wants him because he had so many issues when he was the coach of PSG.”
      Newcastle enter Broja transfer race
      Newcastle United want Armando Broja and are now confident of winning the race for the Chelsea striker this summer, report The Northern Echo.
      West Ham opened talks with Chelsea over a permanent deal for Broja in June but that hasn’t really progressed.
      So Newcastle are looking to hijack a potential deal with the Blues seeking around £30million for the striker.
      Chelsea set price for Alonso
      Chelsea and Barcelona are ‘close to reaching a transfer agreement’ for defender Marcos Alonso to move to the Nou Camp this summer, according to Sport.
      The two clubs are set for talks next week after Thomas Tuchel gave his approval for the move.
      Chelsea are reportedly seeking £8.5million for the Spaniard despite Alonso playing a prominent role last season.
      Laporta confirms Raphinha transfer interest
      Barcelona president Joan Laporta has opened up on the club’s rumoured interest in Chelsea target Raphinha.
      Laporta also spoke about Ousmane Dembele, another player Chelsea have their eye on, and hinted at the Frenchman playing alongside Raphinha at the Nou Camp.
      As quoted by Mundo Deportivo, he said: “We have talked about Raphinha with Leeds, we know that the player would also like to come to Barça, but there are also other clubs that want him.
      “It would not be dependent on (Ousmane) Dembélé, because the coach sees them as compatible.”
      Top targets
      Will the Blues be able to secure Raheem and Raphinha this summer?
      They’re certainly trying to.
      It’s all up to new owner Tood Boehly.

      Big earners
      Chelsea are looking to do some serious business this summer.
      Raheem Sterling, Raphinha, Mattijs de Ligt and Jules Kounde have all been linked with moves to Stamford Bridge.
      And you can bet your house they’d all make it into this top earners list.

      Standing returns
      Premier League clubs will get the go-ahead to open safe standing areas in their grounds from the start of the new season.
      Ministers are expected to announce the success of a trial at five stadiums – and invite all top-flight teams to introduce their own sections.
      It will mean that fans will be able to stand to watch Prem or Championship matches for the first time in nearly 30 years.
      Standing has been illegal in the two top divisions since all-seater stadiums were introduced in 1994 following the Taylor report into the Hillsborough disaster.
      But following a pilot scheme last season at Chelsea, Spurs, Cardiff City, Man City and Man United, all other top clubs will be give the all clear to follow suit.
      A final report on the government-commissioned trial seen by The Sun on Sunday says the sections delivered a positive impact on spectator safety and improved fans’ matchday experience.

      De Jong de-lighted by top comp
      Chelsea are hovering as Manchester United sweat on Frenkie de Jong agreeing personal terms over a £60million move.
      That’s the claim from the Guardian, who say the Blues have one major advantage as the Barcelona midfielder wants Champions League football.
      The Red Devils negotiated a fee close to £60m as Barca aim to ease their financial problems by cashing in on a major asset.
      But it’s understood Chelsea are now taking a strong interest in De Jong’s talks with Old Trafford chiefs over personal demands.
      Should there be any stumbling blocks in negotiations, the Blues seem ready to pounce.
      Watch this space…
      ‘Feels good’
      Callum Hudson-Odoi couldn’t contain his delight after returning to pre-season training with Chelsea team-mates Ben Chilwell and Ross Barkley.
      Hudson-Odoi was one of a handful of first-team players to report to the Blues’ Cobham training ground to begin preparation for the new season.
      And the England international – who was blighted by injury last season – shared his delight at being back on the training field shortly after the session.
      Alongside a picture of himself dribbling with the ball, Hudson-Odoi tweeted: “Feels Good to be back!”

      Raph cash boost
      Raphinha is reportedly set to receive a massive pay rise if his proposed move to Barcelona goes through.
      The Spanish giants have stolen a march on Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea in the race for the Leeds winger.
      And the Brazilian will reportedly receive a lucrative contract worth £5.2million per year should the deal go through.
      That works out to be £100,000 a week, a whopping £40,000 increase on the winger’s current weekly wages.
      Chelsea appeared to move into pole position to sign Raphinha earlier this week after they tabled a bid north of £55million for his services.
      But a late swoop from Barcelona could potentially scupper the west Londoners’ pursuit of the player.
      Blue-turn
      A reminder of another SunSport transfer exclusive this morning…
      Mo Salah was prepared to move to Chelsea before his deal made him the highest-paid player in Liverpool history.
      Blues’ new owner Todd Boehly had lined up Reds’ star Salah, 30, as talks stalled over a new three-year deal.
      It was a major factor in Kop owners FSG coming up with a deal worth almost £400,000 a week.
      Salah, through agent Ramy Abbas, had made it clear to Fenway Sports Group that he would consider returning to Stamford Bridge, where he spent two years from 2014-16.
      Ron his way
      Chelsea are at the front of the queue to offer Cristiano Ronaldo Champions League football.
      The superstar forward sensationally told Manchester United he wants to quit.
      The Red Devils are determined to stand firm and refuse to sell – but the Portuguese star insists they should give the green light to any ‘acceptable’ bids.
      And that could see the five-time Ballon d’Or winner join rivals Chelsea, who finished third last season – and therefore have a seat at Europe’s top table.
      Thomas Tuchel is on the hunt for a new striker following Romelu Lukaku’s season-long loan to Inter Milan.
      That leaves Timo Werner and Kai Havertz as the only players who can really play up front in the squad.
      The West Londoners are keen to make the forward their marquee signing this summer and have been keeping tabs on his situation with United.
      New Blues chief Todd Boehly recently met with Ronaldo’s agent – Jorge Mendes – to discuss a host of topics, including a potential move for the sporting icon.
      Good morning Chelsea fans
      Manchester United star and reported Chelsea target Cristiano Ronaldo has asked to leave the club if a suitable offer arrives in the summer.
      That is according to The Times, who claim Ronaldo wants out of United because he wants to compete in the Champions League.
      The Red Devils missed out on Europe’s top competition after finishing sixth and will instead play in the Europa League.
      That poses as a major blow for new boss Erik ten Hag, who is looking to turn things around at Old Trafford.
      Meanwhile, Leeds star Raphinha has asked his agent Deco to block any further advances from Chelsea.
      According to Sport, the Brazil international is not keen on moving to Stamford Bridge and is prepared to wait for Barca to come calling.
      The winger has asked Deco to “stop’ negotiations with the Blues in order to ‘prioritise” a move to the Nou Camp.
      Club chiefs have been left flummoxed by the 25-year-old’s stance against joining them as they did not expect him to refuse a move to west London.
      And Chelsea are targeting Paris Saint-Germain star Presnel Kimpembe in the summer transfer window.
      The Blues were considering a move for £34million-rated Kimpembe in the past two transfer windows.
      According to Goal, that “interest from Chelsea still exists” over the talented centre-back.
      It seems the West Londoners are keen again after seeing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leave.
      Finally, PSG superstar and Chelsea transfer target Neymar has activated a clause in his contract to extend his stay in Paris until 2027.
      The star forward most recently put pen to paper on a five-year extension in 2021.
      But the Brazil international has now activated his annual extension option, which means his deal will stretch until 2027, according to Sport.
      That means the 30-year-old is set to earn £155m more from PSG with the forward being paid £31m per year.
      The Parisians are said to be looking for a buyer to take the Brazilian off their hands, with president Nasser Al-Khelaifi looking to move away from their high-earner model.
      Neymar has been linked with Chelsea but his £600,000-a-week wages are putting the Blues and other potential suitors off this summer
      In the Leed
      Chelsea have received a major boost in their ongoing transfer war with Barcelona over Leeds star Raphinha.
      According to Diario AS, the Blaugrana may not need the Brazil international after all as Ousmane Dembele “has got closer to renewing” his deal.
      Dembele’s contract runs out today and the Catalan giants are frantically trying to convince him to pen a new one as manager Xavi wants him in his squad this coming season.

      Do no Ron
      Manchester United wantaway star Cristiano Ronaldo should ignore Chelsea’s interest and stay at Old Trafford this summer, claims former striker Louis Saha.
      Saha told BonusCodeBets: “It could go both ways, no one can guarantee anything apart from Cristiano. He’s the only one to answer that.
      “It wouldn’t be the right move for Man United to let him go because he’s such a big asset.
      “I can definitely see him continuing to keep doing what he’s doing best, which is scoring goals and helping his club get back to where it belongs.
      “He can still play a part under [Erik] Ten Hag, not only by scoring goals, but with his stature.
      “I’m sure the new manager will want to implement some new rules and new standards that fit with Ronaldo. Maybe not so much on the pressing side, but his work ethic and his desire to always be accountable.
      “Performance-wise, Ronaldo is up there with the best, he’ll drive the players that need confidence, like [Marcus] Rashford.
      “It’s a new manager, new rules, new atmosphere and I’m very excited”

      Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij ‘waiting for a call’ as Man Utd plot transfer swoop for Dutch star

      by

      But, his current contract expires next summer so the club are open to the idea of selling him as soon as possible to avoid the risk of losing him for free.
      As a result, according to Italian outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport, Man Utd are interested in a potential swoop.
      Signing a defender is at the top of Erik ten Hag’s list of priorities and he is said to be considering De Vrij because of the Dutchman’s ability to dribble the ball.
      The Red Devils have not yet made an official offer as the centre back is still waiting for confirmation from Inter regarding his future.

      Man Utd have not made any new signings so far this summer, however, they are close to securing the signature of Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia.

      It was claimed in May how the North London outfit were keen on snapping up the Bayern Muich ace six years after he swapped North London for Werder Bremen.
      The 26-year-old is facing an uncertain future in Bavaria with the player having just a year left on his deal at the Allianz Arena.
      And according to 90min, Arsenal are closely following his contract situation at Bayern.
      They state that Arsenal would be open to securing his services for a second time after they signed him from Stuttgart for £100,000 in 2011.

      The news outlet also adds that Arsenal have accepted defeat in their pursuit of Raphinha, and are now keeping a watchful eye on Gnabry.
      Speaking in June, Bayern president Herbert Hainer admitted that talks to extend Gnabry’s stay have stalled.

      But United failed to qualify for the Champions League and Ronaldo is keen to leave to play in Europe’s premier competition.
      The Portuguese has reportedly asked the club to let him leave if they receive a suitable offer for his services.
      And despite his icon status at Old Trafford and his importance to the team last term, many supporters would be happy if CR7 left.
      Some feel his departure is exactly what the club needs as it embarks on a new chapter under Erik ten Hag, with suggestions Ronaldo’s exit could create opportunities for other players.
