      Morata has spent the last two seasons on loan in Turin, scoring 32 goals in 92 games.
      But Juventus, who have already paid an £8.5million loan fee, can’t afford the £38.5m clause written into Morata’s contract.
      And they hope Atletico, who do not want the ex-Chelsea flop back, will be open to a straight swap deal.
      It’s claimed striker Moise Kean, plus midfield duo Adrien Rabiot and Denis Zakaria, are all up for grabs.

      The Spaniard endured a miserable 18 months during his time at Chelsea, managing just 16 goals in 47 league outings.
      And Morata, who previously played for Juve between 2014 and 2016, only has eyes for Allegri’s squad. More

      by

      ARSENAL are reportedly set to announce Fabio Vieira as their second summer signing.The Porto midfielder is said to be on a plane to London today to complete the deal.
      Earlier this week, the Gunners made Sao Paulo winger Marquinhos their first signing of the summer.
      Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus’ agent has reportedly arrived in London, with Arsenal keen to complete a £50million deal.
      And the North London outfit have received a huge boost in landing the Brazilian as he is set on joining, according to reports.
      Arsenal are also said to be “pushing hardest” to sign Raphinha from Leeds, with Spurs and Chelsea also said to be interested.
      And it is claimed that the club are confident of signing Youri Tielemans.

      Arsenal target speaks on future
      Arsenal transfer target Noa Lang has revealed that he wants to leave Club Brugge to further his career.
      And the Gunners have received a huge boost in their pursuit of Lang who shut down reports claiming he’s en route to AC Milan.
      Lang said on his future: “There is no agreement with AC Milan or anything. I don’t know where this kind of news comes from.
      “If I have to report to Club Brugge again, I will do so with all my love. I love the club and will give the full 100 per cent.
      “The agreement with Brugge is that it must come to a transfer, both parties agree on that.
      “I want to continue to develop and so I have to take a step.”
      Fabio Vieira – assist king
      Fabio Vieira played a key role for Porto last season.
      The 22-year-old was the assist king in the Portuguese league last season.
      He managed to provide 14 assists in 27 matches, on par with Gil Vicente ace Pedrinho.

      Fabio Vieira transfer broken down
      Arsenal will pay Porto £29.8m for Fabio Vieira, plus £4.2m, reports revealed.
      The 22-year-old will sign a five-year deal with the Gunners, according to David Ornstein.
      His switch to North London was facilitated by super agent Jorge Mendes.
      Mendes also played a pivotal role in Nicolas Pepe’s transfer to Arsenal last summer.
      Prem interest in Porto star
      Man United and Tottenham were also tracking Fabio Vieira, reports claim.
      He became a fixture in Porto’s side last season, making 27 appearances in Liga Portugal.
      But the Gunners managed to beat Prem rivals United and Spurs to his signature it seems as he heads to London to undergo a medical.
      Who is Fabio Vieira?
      Fabio Vieira is an attacking midfielder who has sometimes played as a second striker.
      The 22-year-old provided 6 goals and 14 assists for Porto last season.
      He joined the Portuguese side as a youth in 2008, and scored in his side’s 3-1 over Chelsea in the UEFA Youth League final in 2019.
      Interest in Arsenal starlet
      Arsenal starlet Jack Henry-Francis is reportedly being chased by three League One clubs.
      Oxford United are one of the aforementioned sides who want to bring the 18-year-old in on loan this summer, oxford.vitalfootball reported.
      And Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is willing to let Henry-Francis leave, the report also states.
      Arsenal set to make signing
      Arsenal have reportedly triggered Porto ace Fabio Vieira’s release clause.
      The Gunners have launched a £36m bid free Vieira from his contract entanglement, according to the Express.
      It is thought that the 22-year-old is traveling to North London to undergo a medical before completing his switch to the capital, the report adds.
      Tavares wanted by Atalanta
      Arsenal star Nuno Tavares is being chased by Italian club Atalanta.
      The Serie A side have been impressed by the defender, and want to bring him in loan, according to Corriere della Sera.
      Atalanta will likely try to add an option to buy clause into the deal, but it’s unclear if Arsenal will be open to doing so, the report adds.
      Nottingham Forest eye versatile star
      Nottingham Forest will step up their efforts to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles, according to Sky Sports.
      The player has now returned from his holiday and is reportedly looking to get hooked up with a new club.
      The Hale End graduate has fallen down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta. He spent the second half of 2020/21 on loan with West Brom and spent the second half of last season playing under Jose Mourinho at Roma.
      It is not clear whether Maitland-Niles will leave on loan once again or if Forest are eyeing a permanent deal.
      Payout for former Arsenal striker
      Former Gooner Emmanuel Adebayor has landed a half million-pound payday – after Fifa ruled the striker’s club had sacked him unfairly.
      He made just four appearances for the Asuncion outfit before Covid-19 halted their season.
      Adebayor then failed to return from home country Togo amid travel restrictions.
      Olimpia then tore up his one-year contract in June 2020, and the 38-year-old has not played since then.
      Fifa’s football tribunal has now ordered Olimpia to pay Adebayor 510,000 dollars (£420,000), plus 12 per cent interest backdated to 2020.
      Finish with a flourish
      Brighton and Nottingham Forest follow the May 6 game with Newcastle.
      Arsenal will once again finish the campaign at the Emirates, with Wolves their last opponent.
      Optimistic for 2023?
      Arsenal will welcome Newcastle to the capital on Jan 2, before facing Spurs away and United at home.
      Arteta will see February and March as an opportunity to pick up points in his quest to secure Champions League football.
      They will face no team that finished in the top seven of the Premier League in the 21-22 season.
      April promises to be a tough period as they travel to Leeds, Liverpool, West Ham and Manchester City.
      And they also will host Southampton and Chelsea in the penultimate month of the season.
      A tricky visit to St James’ Park to take on Newcastle on May 6 could prove pivotal if Arsenal are to finish in the top four – oh dear, we’ve heard that before!
      An easy August for Arsenal
      Arsenal have been handed a favourable start to the 2023-23 Premier League season with the club to play no ‘Big Six’ side in the opening month.
      That is a stark contrast to last campaign’s nightmare start where they faced Chelsea and Manchester City in their first three matches.
      For the second year running, Arsenal will play away on a Friday night to kick off the new term on August 5.
      And they will be desperate avoid a defeat like they did at Brentford last season as they face Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace, who smashed them 3-0 at Selhurst Park in April.
      Following the London derby, the Gunners host Leicester, before pitting their wits against newly-promoted sides Bournemouth and Fulham.
      They conclude the month with a home clash against Aston Villa, before travelling to Manchester United on September 3 in their first major clash of the campaign.
      ‘Different vibe between Tottenham and Arsenal’, says Sheringham
      Former England international Teddy Sheringham has shamed Arsenal’s season, whilst likening his former Tottenham side to a “lion”.
      The Gunners missed out on Champions League qualification to their North London rivals on the final day.
      Sheringham spoke with Lord Ping, and said: “There is a totally different vibe between Tottenham and Arsenal; Spurs are fighting like a lion under him, whilst Arsenal faded at the business end of the season.
      “Conte is taking his players with him and they are loving the ride.”
      Arsenal faded at the business end of the seasonTeddy Sheringham
      Arsenal no soft touch this summer
      Arsenal are telling miserly rivals to put up or shut up after pulling the plug on Lucas Torreira’s cut-price move to Fiorentina.
      The Emirates hierarchy are fed up with European clubs trying to sign their unwanted players on the cheap.
      And they have ruled that the days of the great Gunners giveaway are now a thing of the past as they look to get greater value for money in the transfer market.
      They are particularly irked by Fiorentina pleading poverty during negotiations for Torreira just months after using Arsenal’s interest in Dusan Vlahovic to squeeze £65million from Juventus for the striker.
      Fiorentina had agreed a £12.5million option to sign Torreira when they took him on loan last season.
      But they reneged on that pledge when it came to negotiations for a permanent deal and said they would go no higher than £7million.
      Breaking – Arsenal set to seal Jesus with £50m bid
      Arsenal have submitted a £50million bid for Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus, according to reports.
      The Gunners previously bid £30m for Jesus, 25, but are now set to match City’s £50m asking price, report The Times.
      And the forward is said to be keen on the move to link back up with Mikel Arteta, who he worked with at City.

      The Gunners were seemingly unwilling to pay £50m to land Jesus previously given he is set to enter the final year of his City contract.
      But the striker’s agent Marcello Pettinati reportedly arrived in London yesterday to hold transfer talks with Arsenal.
      Personal terms are still yet to be agreed but it seems Jesus is heading for the Emirates.
      2022-23 Premier League match-ball
      The Premier League have revealed their 2022-23 Nike match-ball – and it’s a stunning retro throwback.
      The fixtures for the upcoming season were released early on Thursday morning.
      And the official Premier League Twitter account followed that up shortly afterwards by sharing two pictures of the new match-ball.
      Nike‘s 2022-23 effort is inspired by the iconic 1992-93 Mitre Pro-Max ball used for the first-ever Prem campaign, even featuring the navy blue, red and gold arrows.

      The Premier League shared a sneak peek of the ball on Twitter, captioned: “Inspired by the first PL season, 30 years ago.
      “The new 2022-23 Nike Flight PL Ball. Out 15 July.”
      Tielemans a ‘top priority’ for Arteta
      Arsenal are hopeful they can seal a deal for Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans before the end of the month, according to reports.
      Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports said: “Arsenal remain confident and on course to sign Youri Tielemans before the month is out.
      “Interest from Tottenham was never too advanced. But Bissouma’s incoming arrival will allay fears Spurs could hijack the deal.
      “Tielemans is one of Arteta’s top priorities.”
      Arsenal pre-season training in less than TWO weeks
      Arsenal will report back at London Colney in less than two weeks before heading to Germany for their first match of the summer.
      The Gunners begin their preparations for the 2022-23 campaign on June 27 as Mikel Arteta prepares for another shot at securing Champions League football.
      Arteta still managed to claim a spot in Europe after failing to play in any Uefa competition last term after finishing eighth in 2021.
      And the Spaniard will now be aiming to go one better this time around when he welcomes his players back to the club.
      According to Arsenal Fixture News, the first team squad are due to return on June 27.

      Aubameyang sale ‘a mistake’
      Mikel Arteta ‘needed’ to get Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang playing again after their dispute last season, claims Harry Redknapp.
      The former Tottenham boss told talkSPORT: “You needed to get him playing, didn’t you!?
      “They don’t have that many good players. Get him on side.
      “Sometimes you have to swallow it and get them playing for you.”
      Finish with a flourish
      Brighton and Nottingham Forest follow the May 6 game with Newcastle.
      Arsenal will once again finish the campaign at the Emirates, with Wolves their last opponent.
      Optimistic for 2023?
      Arsenal will welcome Newcastle to the capital on Jan 2, before facing Spurs away and United at home.
      Arteta will see February and March as an opportunity to pick up points in his quest to secure Champions League football.

      Arsenal before the new year
      It stands to be a torrid October for Arteta’s men who welcome North London rivals Tottenham to the Emirates at the start of the month, with the return fixture set for January 14.
      And while juggling Europa League football, they will square off against Liverpool and Manchester City at home on October 8 and October 18 respectively.
      They will also travel to Leeds and Southampton in what will prove to be a challenging time for Arsenal.
      November will see Arsenal play just two games before the 2022 World Cup – trips to Chelsea and Wolves.
      Their first game back after the global tournament will be a Boxing Day tie against West Ham at home, before concluding 2022 with a visit to Brighton on December 31.

      Lukaku’s keen on Inter return
      Romelu Lukaku has a great desire to return to Inter Milan, according to the club’s CEO.
      Inter’s chief executive Alessandro Antonello said of Lukaku: “There is a great desire of the player to return.
      “The economic and financial feasibility must be checked and some technical problems must be solved.
      “We will try to do it in the necessary time.”
      Chelsea line up Lewandowksi transfer
      Chelsea are lining up Robert Lewandowski as a back-up target for Gabriel Jesus after Arsenal took a huge step towards signing the Brazilian, according to reports.
      Chelsea had hoped to sign Jesus, 25, to solve their centre forward woes, with Timo Werner also struggling for goals following his 2020 transfer.
      In fact, the German is regularly forced out wide by Thomas Tuchel, with Kai Havertz leading the line as a false nine.
      Tuchel is desperate for an elite striker to finally solve his forward dilemma, with the boss keen on his wealth of Premier League experience and versatility.
      But with Arsenal leading the race for the Manchester City star, Tuchel has turned his attention to Lewandowski as a back-up option, according to Christian Falk.
      Chelsea must offload Romelu Lukaku
      Chelsea should get rid of striker Romelu Lukaku and ‘send him off in a cab’ back to Inter Milan this summer, according to talkSPORT’s Simon Jordan.
      The former Crystal palace claimed getting a £20m loan fee for the striker would be a good deal, arguing
      He told talkSPORT: “It’s interesting that they are going to put him out on loan and want a £20m loan fee because it means they can keep him on their balance sheet and still demand money for him.
      “So if Chelsea can keep him on their balance sheet and put him out on loan and get £20m for him, they are actually making a monetary transaction that makes financial sense.
      “In 18 months time or a year’s time, Inter might then find themselves in a better position and Chelsea might be able to punt Lukaku out for £70m or £80m, and they will actually make money from a transaction.
      “So from a footballing point of view, if Tuchel doesn’t want him then it’s a no-brainer, he’s got to go.
      ““He’s already made his position clear, he’s already virtue signalled his way back to the Italian fans by telling them, ‘I would like to come home one day’ – well, off you go then, we’ll send you there in a cab!”
      Chelsea enter Lewandowski transfer race
      Chelsea have thrown their hat into the ring to sign Robert Lewandowski, according to German outlet Bild.
      But the Blues reportedly find themselves behind Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona in the race to sign the striker.
      Lewandowski is said to be already in talks with both PSG and Barcelona but reportedly prefers a move to Catalonia, with Mundo Deportivo reporting that the Pole has already signed a three-year contract around £175,000-a-week with Barca, worth £27million in total.
      Optimistic for 2023?
      Chelsea have a horror start to the year, with a home clash to City on Jan 2.
      An away day at Liverpool is then sandwiched in between a home game with Crystal Palace.
      February sees Tuchel take his side to Spurs for a return fixture on the 25th.
      Chelsea also take on Leeds and Everton at home – which will see Lampard set for a Stamford Bridge return – in March.
      April is another busy period with six games crammed in, as Chelsea play United on the 22nd and Arsenal a week later, both away.
      Chelsea also play Brentford at home in between meaning they face three games in seven days.
      May brings a close to the campaign with Chelsea travelling to Bournemouth on the 6th and Forrest at home on the 13th.
      A trip to champions City follows on the 20th before the Blues end their season on the 28th at home to Newcastle.
      Chelsea before the new year
      With the World Cup kicking off in Qatar on November 21, Chelsea play only two league matches that month.
      They host Arsenal on the 5th and then travel to Newcastle on the 12th.
      The World Cup is due to end on December 18 and only eight days later the Blues return to league action.
      They host Bournemouth on Boxing Day before a New Year’s Eve trip to Nottingham Forest.
      A tough start for Tuchel’s lads
      Chelsea face old manager Frank Lampard in their opening game – amid a horror start to the season.
      Thomas Tuchel’s side travel to Lampard’s Everton on August 6 to kick-off their Premier League campaign.
      It proved an unhappy hunting ground for the Blues last season after losing 1-0 to the Merseysiders in May.
      Chelsea will then welcome rivals Tottenham to Stamford Bridge in their second league match on the 13th.
      The pick of the month in September is a home game against Liverpool on the 17th, with whom they lost to finals to this year.
      October proves a hectic month with six games in total, including a home clash with Manchester United on the 22nd.
      Three mobile resume shirt deal
      Chelsea’s £120million shirt sponsorship deal with Three has resumed following Todd Boehly’s takeover from Roman Abramovich.
      The Blues are now ready to get back to normality, with manager Thomas Tuchel finally set to be backed in the transfer window.

      The mobile phone company suspended their agreement with the club in March after former owner Abramovich was hit by UK sanctions over his links to Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
      With Boehly running the show following Abramovich’s exit, Three are now back in business with the Premier League giants.
      They will grace the front of Chelsea’s kit for next season, which is due to be released shortly.
      Want fries with that?
      Manchester United and Tottenham have been joined by Chelsea in the battle to sign Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries.
      The Red Devils and Spurs are both priced as 6/1 favourites with Sky Bet, but Chelsea are just behind at 7/1.
      The Dutch international impressed during last summers Euros campaign where the attacking fullback bagged two goals and an assist in Netherlands’ run to the round of 16.
      His solid displays in the Euros earned the 26-year-old a £12m move from PSV to Inter Milan.
      The right wing-back impressed in his first season in Italy, winning the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana, leading to reports of another move this summer.
      Sky Bet odds:

      Manchester United – 6/1
      Tottenham – 6/1
      Chelsea – 7/1
      Bayern Munich – 16/1

      Blues urged to flog striker
      Chelsea should accept £60million for Romelu Lukaku, claims talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan.
      The Belgian arrived from Inter Milan for £97.5m last summer, but has struggled to fit in Thomas Tuchel’s style of play.
      Speaking about Lukaku’s future, Jordan said: “If they ship him out for £60million, they’ve got no loss on their balance sheet and they can go again with somebody that might actually want to be there and somebody that might actually do what they’re paid to do.
      “He doesn’t really want to be there, so sell him.”
      Blues striker shortlist revealed
      Chelsea have compiled an attacking wishlist, with Romelu Lukaku likely to leave.
      According to the Telegraph, Inter Milan have opened talks with the Blues over bringing the Belgian back to San Siro.
      They add that Raheem Sterling, Ousmane Dembele and Christopher Nkunku are among their top targets.
      While Manchester City ace Gabriel Jesus is claimed to have been offered their way.
      2022-23 Premier League match-ball
      The Premier League have revealed their 2022-23 Nike match-ball – and it’s a stunning retro throwback.
      The fixtures for the upcoming season were released early on Thursday morning.
      And the official Premier League Twitter account followed that up shortly afterwards by sharing two pictures of the new match-ball.
      Nike‘s 2022-23 effort is inspired by the iconic 1992-93 Mitre Pro-Max ball used for the first-ever Prem campaign, even featuring the navy blue, red and gold arrows.

      The Premier League shared a sneak peek of the ball on Twitter, captioned: “Inspired by the first PL season, 30 years ago.
      “The new 2022-23 Nike Flight PL Ball. Out 15 July.”
      Chelsea raid Saints for goalkeeper
      The Blues have signed young Southampton ace Eddie Beach, according to reports.
      According to Football London, Chelsea have beaten off plenty of competition to sign the teenage goalkeeper.
      Beach, 18, was a regular for the Saints’ Under-18s last season.
      Jorginho no longer ‘untouchable’?
      Juventus could offer Merih Demiral to Chelsea in exchange for Jorginho, with the Italian midfielder no longer considered “untouchable”, according to reports.
      Chelsea chief Tuchel has a plan to rebuild and could use Jorginho, 30, as a pawn to land a freebie to help ease his woes.
      The Italy international was considered “untouchable” by Stamford Bridge chiefs and was even tipped for the Ballon d’Or as recently as last year.

      But according to CalcioMercato, Tuchel is happy to move on from the midfielder, who’s hot form cooled late last season.
      And Juventus are set to take advantage by offering a straight swap.
      Demiral, 24, spent last season on loan at Atalanta, but the Serie A side rejected their £15million option to sign the Turkish international permanently.
      The centre-back is not in Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri’s plans.
      The Old Lady boss was set to put Demiral on the transfer market for around £25m.
      Kounde has agreed a deal with Chelsea
      Sevilla defender Jules Kounde has reportedly agreed a five-year deal with Premier League side Chelsea.
      Kounde, 23, has been a long term target for Thomas Tuchel’s team as they look to replace departing key defenders.
      Both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are leaving for free and centre-back Kounde seems the perfect fit.
      According to Sport, Kounde has agreed a five-year deal with Chelsea but a fee with Sevilla is yet to be struck.
      Barcelona are the major competition in landing the centre-back.
      Cataluyna Radio claims that Barcelona are in “advanced negotiations” with Sevilla for the French international – but that personal terms have not been agreed with the player.
      Chelsea a ‘realistic destination’ for Nkunku
      Former Blue Glen Johnson reckons that Christopher Nkunku should move to Stamford Bridge after being linked with Chelsea and Manchester United.
      The ex-Chelsea full back spoke to bettingodds.com about the highly-rated midfielder.
      Johnson said: “I believe Chelsea is a more realistic destination than Manchester United if both clubs are genuinely interested.
      “A player going to a top team that’s had a really good season will be looking for Champions League football… I definitely think that’s where these sorts of players look first.
      “If he was to leave RB Leipzig, then I think Chelsea could be a better fit.”
      Optimistic for 2023?
      Chelsea have a horror start to the year, with a home clash to City on Jan 2.

      Maatsen to return to Holland?
      Chelsea are in danger of losing ANOTHER defender as young prospect Ian Maatsen is reportedly being eyed up by Feyenoord.
      The 20-year-old left-back made his debut for the Blues under Frank Lampard in 2019 during a 7-1 League Cup win over Grimsby.
      According to Voetbal International, Feyenoord are now eyeing up the possibility of bringing him back to the club – nine years after they let him go as a youngster.
      Maatsen is under contract with Chelsea – with the Blues announcing two years ago that he had penned a new deal which will run until at least the summer of 2024.
      After successful loan spells at Charlton Athletic and Coventry, the Holland U18s defender look elsewhere for the benefit of his career.

      Man Utd offered ‘nothing’, says Pogba
      Paul Pogba claims he left Manchester United because he did not receive a substantial contract offer from the club.
      The midfielder, 29, is set to leave Old Trafford after six years when his contract expires at the end of the month.
      In a new Amazon Prime documentary about his life titled “The Pogmentary”, Pogba shares the conversation he had with his agent, the late Mino Raiola, about United’s offer in the summer of 2021.
      Raiola says to his client: “Yes. They absolutely want you to stay.
      “For me, the offer doesn’t reflect that. I told them, ‘If you want him to stay, don’t make that offer’.
      “I will make them understand that if they really want you to stay and they want to build a project around you, this time they have to act differently and put the money on the table.”
      Pogba agreed with his agent’s view of the situation and the Frenchman responds saying: “They’re bluffing.

      As well as De Jong, the Red Devils have been linked with AC Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer, who reportedly wants out at the San Siro.
      Elsewhere an offer has been made for Christian Eriksen, who is a free agent after his short-term deal with Brentford came to an end.
      But Neville is quite rightly keen for much of United’s business to be done before the Ten Hag era gets underway at home to Brighton on August 7.
      The Red Devils have been handed a tricky opening month by the Premier League schedulers.
      After travelling to Brentford, United face Liverpool, Southampton and Leicester, before hosting Arsenal at the start of September.
      Man Utd face competition over Ward-Prowse
      West Ham and Newcastle have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race to prise James Ward-Prowse away from Southampton.
      SunSport exclusively revealed last month how new Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag had identified the midfielder as a key target.
      Ten Hag is desperate to bolster his midfield with Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic set to leave when their contracts expire at the end of June.
      We also told you how David Moyes was keeping tabs on the England international ahead of a possible summer swoop.
      And now the Mirror have claimed that the Hammers boss is keen to bring him to the London Stadium.
      They also state that Newcastle are interested in the player following his stunning 2021-22 season.
      Ward-Prowse chipped in with a career-best 11 goals in 42 games in all competitions, while also registering eight assists.
      Want fries with that?
      Manchester United and Tottenham have been joined by Chelsea in the battle to sign Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries.

      The Dutch international impressed during last summers Euros campaign where the attacking fullback bagged two goals and an assist in Netherlands’ run to the round of 16.
      His solid displays in the Euros earned the 26-year-old a £12m move from PSV to Inter Milan.
      The right wing-back impressed in his first season in Italy, winning the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana, leading to reports of another move this summer.
      Sky Bet odds:

      Manchester United – 6/1
      Tottenham – 6/1
      Chelsea – 7/1
      Bayern Munich – 16/1

      Wales ace in demand
      Rabbi Matondo is at the centre of a SIX-CLUB summer transfer fight, writes SunSport’s Phil Cadden.
      Premier League trio Brentford, Leeds and newly-promoted Nottingham Forest are all admirers of the Wales forward.
      Matondo, who was on loan at Cercle Brugge last season but is contracted to Schalke, has also attracted interest from Ligue 1 clubs Lens, Brest and Troyes in France.
      The 21-year-old did not find an agreement with Belgian club Brugge, where he scored nine goals last term, but is available for £3.5million.
      Matondo has just one year left on his deal with the Bundesliga outfit.
      Breaking – Arsenal set to seal Jesus with £50m bid
      Arsenal have submitted a £50million bid for Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus, according to reports.
      The Gunners previously bid £30m for Jesus, 25, but are now set to match City’s £50m asking price, report The Times.
      And the forward is said to be keen on the move to link back up with Mikel Arteta, who he worked with at City.

      The Gunners were seemingly unwilling to pay £50m to land Jesus previously given he is set to enter the final year of his City contract.
      But the striker’s agent Marcello Pettinati reportedly arrived in London yesterday to hold transfer talks with Arsenal.
      Personal terms are still yet to be agreed but it seems Jesus is heading for the Emirates.

      Tielemans a ‘top priority’ for Arteta
      Arsenal are hopeful they can seal a deal for Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans before the end of the month, according to reports.
      Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports said: “Arsenal remain confident and on course to sign Youri Tielemans before the month is out.
      “Interest from Tottenham was never too advanced. But Bissouma’s incoming arrival will allay fears Spurs could hijack the deal.
      “Tielemans is one of Arteta’s top priorities.”
      Jorginho no longer ‘untouchable’?
      Juventus could offer Merih Demiral to Chelsea in exchange for Jorginho, with the Italian midfielder no longer considered “untouchable”, according to reports.
      Chelsea chief Tuchel has a plan to rebuild and could use Jorginho, 30, as a pawn to land a freebie to help ease his woes.

      Former England international Glen Johnson reckons that Christopher Nkunku should snub Manchester United for a move to Stamford Bridge.
      Nkunku, 24, has been linked with both Chelsea and United this summer.
      And the ex-Chelsea man spoke to bettingodds.com about the highly-rated midfielder.
      Johnson said: “I believe Chelsea is a more realistic destination than Manchester United if both clubs are genuinely interested.
      “A player going to a top team that’s had a really good season will be looking for Champions League football… I definitely think that’s where these sorts of players look first.
      “If he was to leave RB Leipzig, then I think Chelsea could be a better fit.”
      Inter make Lukaku bid
      Inter Milan have made an opening bid for Romelu Lukaku, according to reports.
      The Belgian is eager to return to San Siro, just one year after his £97.5million return to Chelsea.
      According to Fabrizio Romano, Inter offered just £4.3m to loan Lukaku back for the season.
      The bid was quickly rejected by the Blues, but the striker will continue to push.
      Lukaku has informed Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel that he only wants to return to Inter.
      Klopp vs Guardiola
      Liverpool host Man City on Oct 15.
      The reverse tie in Manchester is on April Fool’s day.
      Stick them in your diary folks.
      Super Sunday
      The first Super Sunday of the season will feature both Manchester clubs.
      Manchester City will see summer signing Erling Haaland in action.
      Pep Guardiola’s Prem champions will travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham.
      The two sides played out a thrilling 2-2 draw last time out, with City coming from two goals down after Jarrod Bowen scored a first half brace.

      But just before West Ham and City play, Erik ten Hag will look to start his Manchester United career with a win.
      The Red Devils will take on Brighton at Old Trafford in a 2PM kick-off.
      Friday night lights and Saturday kick offs
      Arsenal will kick off the Premier League season for the second year in a row with the Gunners travelling to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace.
      The last time Arsenal faced Patrick Vieira’s men away from home, Palace stuck three past them in a major blow to their top-four hopes.
      Liverpool fans will then be given a first glimpse of club record signing Darwin Nunez in competitive action.
      Jurgen Klopp’s domestic double Reds travel to Championship record goal scorers Fulham.
      Fabio Carvalho could feature against his old club Fulham after leaving for Liverpool on a free transfer.
      Bournemouth’s return to the top flight will see them face a new look Aston Villa at 3PM.
      Leeds vs Wolves, Leicester vs Brentford, Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest and Tottenham vs Southampton make up the rest of the 3PM kick-offs on the opening weekend.
      Everton will then close the opening Saturday when they welcome Chelsea to Goodison Park in a 5.30 kick-off.

      2022/23 Premier League opening weekend
      The Premier League fixtures have been released!
      We have a Friday night bout between Arsenal and Palace to open the Premier League season.
      Promoted Fulham are up against Liverpool in the early kick-off on Saturday.
      And champions Man City face a tricky away tie at West Ham on Sunday.
      Bring it on.

      Jules might be stolen
      Chelsea target Jules Kounde is reportedly in advanced talks over a move to Barcelona.
      Kounde, 23, has been a long term target for Thomas Tuchel’s team as they look to replace departing key defenders.
      Both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are leaving for free and centre-back Kounde seems the perfect fit.
      But now Cataluyna Radio claim that Barcelona are in “advanced negotiations” with Sevilla for the French international.
      There is a £51million deal lined up which would see the Catalan club also send a player in exchange.
      It would be a major blow to Chelsea’s transfer plans, in the first window of the Todd Boehly era.

      And Cavani has instructed his representatives to find him a club in Spain, according to Mundo Deportivo.
      The same outlet labels Atletico Madrid as a potential destination, with Cavani coming close to joining the club twice in the past.
      If a move to Spain is not possible then a big-money move to the MLS is also a possibility.
      Veteran forward Cavani is targeting a place in Uruguay’s World Cup squad later this year.

      Arsenal are closing in on a £30milion deal for Porto star Fabio VieiraCredit: Rex
      The versatile attacking midfielder has a release clause of £42million.
      But Porto have accepted an initial offer of £30m plus add-ons worth up to £4m.
      And Vieira will now pen a five-year Arsenal contract after super agent Jorge Mendes took control of negotiations.
      Vieira has spent his entire career at Porto, scoring 10 goals in 75 outings.

      The left-footer can play as either a No10 or a right winger.
      And he bagged 14 assists in Primeira Liga this season – more than any other player.

      The former Inter Milan captain netted just five goals in all competitions last season.
      And PSG want to replace Icardi with Sassuolo’s Gianluca Scamacca, who scored 16 times in Serie A.
      It’s reckoned there aren’t many takers for Icardi.
      So PSG have asked his representative Mendes to try and facilitate a move to Wolves.

      Icardi was considered one of the world’s best during his time at Inter.
      The 29-year-old scored 124 goals in 219 games before joining PSG in 2020.
      And despite starting well in the French capital, Icardi has gradually become no more than a bit-part player.
      Bruno Lage has no plans to replace Raul Jimenez this summer.
      But Icardi could be seen as a filler for youngster Fabio Silva, who is in dire need of regular minutes.
      His wages are sure to be an issue though, with Icardi currently pocketing £160,000-a-week at PSG.
      And with his agent Wanda Nara – who is also his wife – known for her tough negotiating skills, Icardi could well end up staying put in Paris. More

      by

      Bruno Lage sees Palhinha as the perfect replacement for £50m-rated Ruben Neves, who has been linked with a move away from the Midlands this summer.
      However, Wolves’ attempts to get the Palhinha transfer over the line was initially delayed by Fulham making a last-ditch hijack attempt with a slightly lower fee.
      Sporting Lisbon are keen to sell to add to their kitty for this window, but the decision is ultimately down to the player.
      And now, SunSport understands that the West Londoners believe they are in a strong position to snatch Palhinha away from Molineux.
