      ‘Red Devils won’t let Ten Hag spend big’
      United will not splash the cash on transfers during Erik ten Hag’s first year in charge.
      That is according to the Daily Mail, who report that United will approach the summer transfer window in a conservative manner.
      That is despite the fact the club’s hierarchy announced a total revenue increase of 29 per cent in the Red Devils’ third quarter financial results.
      Business is returning to normal at Old Trafford after the coronavirus pandemic. But net debt has risen £52million since last year.
      United will instead focus their investment on their recruitment system and that initiative will be led by football director John Murtough. They will be looking to replace senior scouting figures Jim Lawlor and Marcel Bout as well as chief transfer negotiator Matt Judge.
      Ten Hag will be in charge of transfers and will approach the summer market with discipline. The Dutchman is reportedly keen on Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong as well as Ajax duo Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez.
      United chief executive Richard Arnold said: “It has clearly been a disappointing season for the men’s first team. Work is well underway to address this, led by our football director John Murtough and our new manager Erik ten Hag.
      “Resilience and high standards are core values for Manchester United, and we are determined to achieve better results next season and beyond. Faith in youth is another key tenet of the club and the continued success of our academy gives us confidence in the future.
      “Off the pitch, our revenues have continued to recover from the pandemic, reflecting the enduring strength of our commercial operations, which in turn support our ability to continue to invest in the club.”
      Man Utd hit snag over De Jong
      Barcelona will only sell Frenkie de Jong if they can sign Robert Lewandowski or Bernardo Silva, according to reports.
      The Manchester United target has been linked with a £65million move away from Catalonia.
      While he remained a regular after Xavi’s arrival, De Jong isn’t considered untouchable at Barcelona.
      The LaLiga giants remain in financial peril, with club chief Joan Laporta trying to juggle making ambitious signings with balancing the books.

      De Jong could go for the right price… and if Laporta can replicate his star power in other areas.
      Bizarrely, Barca are willing to replace the former Ajax wonderkid… with a player in a different position.
      According to Mundo Deportivo, Laporta will part ways with De Jong if he can sign striker Lewandowski or attacking midfielder Silva.
      Bayern Munich striker Lewandowski has admitted that he wants to leave the Bundesliga champions and that he won’t extend his contract, which has a year left to run.
      Silva, meanwhile, could have been sold by Manchester City last summer, although his performances since have re-cemented his position as a key player.
      Toon and Hammers eye Armando
      Striker Armando Broja is wanted by Newcastle and West Ham after his loan joy with Southampton.
      The 12-cap Albanian, 20, is being eyed by several clubs after following a season on loan at Vitesse with regular Prem football for the Saints this term
      Goal say Goal, the Hammers and the Magpies are amongst the frontrunners for the Slough-born starlet.
      But Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is believed to be open to Braja returning to Stamford Bridge next season.
      Who’s Gunning a move?
      Arsenal are set for a busy summer transfer window as they prepare for the demands of European football next season.
      Betfair have revealed the four most likely players to arrive at the Emirates Stadium with Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus the current favourite.

      Mikel Arteta will be in the market for new players in a number of positions, with improving their squad depth being the main focus point due to a much busier fixture list for next season.
      For much of the run-in towards the end of the Premier League season it looked as though Arsenal would be preparing to welcome Champions League football for the first time in six years.
      Two losses in their final three games, to Tottenham and Newcastle, meant a four point cushion over their North London rivals vanished, with the Gunners finishing fifth, two points shy of Spurs.
      Arsenal’s eighth-place finish in 2021 meant that the Gunners had no European football to deal with this season, so the requirement of having to play twice a week for most weeks next season will encourage the need for a deeper, stronger squad.
      Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus is the name most heavily linked with Arsenal at the moment.
      Arsenal are in need of a striker with the departure of Alexandre Lacazette looking likely, and the contract saga of Eddie Nketiah still looking uncertain.
      BETFAIR ODDS

      Gabriel Jesus 4/9
      Youri Tielemans 10/11
      Dominic Calvert-Lewin 3/1
      James Maddison 4/1

      Blow for Prem giants as Dembele is set for PSG
      Chelsea have been dealt a transfer blow as Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele could join Paris Saint-Germain, reports suggest.
      AS say Dembele – previously linked to Manchester United and Arsenal -has rejected a new Barca contract offer to leave on a free transfer next month.

      The forward has been linked with the Blues, who are looking to add some firepower up front after Todd Boehly’s takeover is officially completed.
      However, the 25-year-old looks set to return to France for PSG ahead of the summer transfer window.
      The Blaugrana tried to sell Dembele in January to avoid losing their second most expensive signing of all time for free at the end of the season.
      But the Frenchman stayed put and played an important role in the team’s dramatic improvement, which saw them finish second in LaLiga.
      The Catalan giants were hoping to convince the striker to stay by signing his friend Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal.
      Barcelona manager Xavi also sang his praises continuously and expressed his desire to keep him. However, Dembele, who joined Barca from Borussia Dortmund for a whopping £138million in 2017, will be leaving next month.
      Luc could be in to smash Toon transfer record
      Newcastle could smash their transfer record for another Brazilian – £50million-rated Lucas Paqueta.
      Eddie Howe splashed the cash in January to bolster his then-struggling Toon squad and enjoyed great success in guiding the Magpies away from the drop zone.

      Now Newcastle are plotting more additions this summer to continue pushing up the table under their new Saudi owners.
      And a fresh report is claiming that they want to make Lyon attacking midfielder Paqueta marquee signing.
      The Times is stating that Howe is ready to break the North East side’s transfer record to try and bring the Brazilian international to St. James’ Park.
      It says that the club are preparing a move for the 31-cap Samba star.
      Gunners put Doucoure under the Lens
      Arsenal are rated one of Lens midfielder Cheick Doucoure’s main Prem admirers.
      The Gunners are planning a huge summer revamp this summer after missing out on Champions League football.

      There are reportedly twelve names that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has on his wishlist including Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.
      And the Mirror claim one player the Gunners are tracking is Doucoure who’s set to leave Lens for the Prem in the transfer window.
      The 22-year-old’s been in stellar form for Lens this season, providing four assists and one goal across 34 Ligue 1 appearances.
      And the Mali international now wants to try his hand in England where he’s not short on interest.
      Bren guns for Leeds
      American Brenden Aaronson is currently undergoing a medical with Leeds United, and will soon become the Yorkshire club’s first summer signing.
      Jesse Marsch is wasting no time after masterminding the Whites’ final day escape from relegation, and is keen to bring his compatriot to Elland Road from RB Salzburg.
      The 21-year-old has been capped 18 times for his country, scoring five times, and has just helped Salzburg to an Austrian league and cup double during his first season at the club.
      The attacking midfielder is expected to cost Leeds in excess of £20m.
      James starts to Garner interest
      Southampton are keeping close tabs on Manchester United’s plans for James Garner.
      The Athletic report that there are several admirers of the young midfielder within the Saints hierarchy, who have been impressed during the player’s loan spell with Nottingham Forest in the Championship.
      The south coast club are waiting to hear what Erik ten Hag has in store for Garner, but would be interested in doing a deal on either a permanent or temporary basis.
      The 21-year-old has scored four times and laid on eight assists in 41 league games for Forest this season, helping to propel them to Sunday’s play-off final at Wembley.

      Good Evans! New deal for Foxes ace
      Leicester City’s Jonny Evans is on the brink of agreeing a 12-month extension to his current deal at the King Power Stadium.
      The 34-year-old only has a year left to run on his contract, but Brendan Rodgers is keen to utilise the defender’s experience beyond next season.
      Evans joined the Foxes in 2018, and he has gone on to make 138 appearances for the East Midlands’ side.
      However, injuries restricted the Northern Ireland international to just 18 in the Premier League last term.
      Gunners Schick as a parrot
      Arsenal have been dealt another transfer blow by the news that long-term target Patrick Schick has penned a new deal with Bayer Leverkusen.
      The Czech has been a constant contender during Mikel Arteta’s search for a striker, and had been considered a realistic option this summer after the Gunners missed out on the Champions League.
      However, the 26-year-old has now committed his future to the Bundesliga outfit after signing a new five-year contract.
      Schick netted an impressive 24 goals in just 27 league appearances for Die Werkself last term.
      United best placed for Pau
      Manchester United are leading the race to land Villarreal defender Pau Torres, according to reports in Spain.
      AS (via Sport Witness) suggest that it is United who are best placed to sign the 25-year-old among several interested parties from the Premier League.
      Tottenham attempted to land the Spanish international last year, but were knocked back ahead of the Yellow Submarine’s semi-final assault on the Champions League.
      New United boss Erik ten Hag has reportedly stated that he wants the Red Devils to bring in Torres ‘at all costs’ as he begins to reshape his side’s defence.

      Dembele rejects new Barca deal
      Ousmane Dembele has rejected a new contract offer from Barcelona and looks set to join Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.
      The French international signed for the LaLiga club from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 for a whopping €105m, but saw much of his time in Spain blighted by injuries.
      In five years at the Nou Camp, Dembele has managed 150 appearances for Barca, scoring 32 goals and providing 34 assists.
      The news of Dembele’s return to France will come as a blow to Chelsea, who had been hoping to tempt the 25-year-old into a move to Stamford Bridge.

      What Chuk! Barca want Carney
      Aston Villa wonderkid Carney Chukwuemeka is a shock transfer target for Barcelona.
      The 18-year-old’s agent has met with. Barcelona staff Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff, according to Spanish radio station SER.
      The young midfielder has a year remaining on his current deal at Villa Park, and has been reluctant to sign a new contract despite his club’s best efforts.
      Chukwuemeka made 12 appearances in the Premier League last season, providing one assist, and started the home draw with Burnley earlier this month.

      Boehly to hand Tuchel £200m
      New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly will provide Thomas Tuchel with £200m for new players after completing his takeover at Stamford Bridge, report The Mail.
      However, ‘vast chunks’ of that war chest is expected to be used to recruit new defenders.
      Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger have already confirmed their departures from the club, and Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta are expected to follow suit
      As we reported this week, a deal for Sevilla Jules Kounde is nearing completion – although the LaLiga club are holding out for the player’s release fee of £81m to be met.
      Elsewhere, the Blues are also interested in Villarreal’s Pau Torres – a target for Manchester United – and Leicester’s Wesley Fofana.
      Rejuvenated Lampard plotting Chelsea raid
      Frank Lampard is planning a return to former club Chelsea this summer in order to snap up some of their hottest young talent.
      The Everton boss, buoyed by his side avoiding relegation, wants to inject youth and ambition into his ageing squad, and has targeted a number players that he previously worked with at Stamford Bridge.
      The Liverpool Echo have speculated on which youngsters could be tempted by a reunion with Lampard, and suggest that Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher, Levi Colwill, Ethan Ampadu and Billy Gilmour all fit the bill.
      Lampard has built a reputation for bringing youngsters through during his fledgling managerial career, and can be considered a major factor for the current success enjoyed by Mason Mount and Reece James.
      Aarons-on way to Elland Road
      American Brenden Aaronson is currently undergoing a medical with Leeds United, and will soon become the Yorkshire club’s first summer signing.
      Jesse Marsch is wasting no time after masterminding the Whites’ final day escape from relegation, and is keen to bring his compatriot to Elland Road from RB Salzburg.
      The 21-year-old has been capped 18 times for his country, scoring five times, and has just helped Salzburg to an Austrian league and cup double during his first season at the club.
      The attacking midfielder is expected to cost Leeds in excess of £20m.

      New City signing scores six
      Manchester City have signed a goalscoring machine.
      No, not Erling Haaland, but Julian Alvarez, who bagged a double hat-trick for River Plate last night in the Copa Libertadores.
      The striker scored three in each half as his side thrashed Alianza Lima 8-1 in their final group game.
      The 22-year-old Argentine officially joined City in January, but was loaned back to Los Millonarios for 12 months.
      However, after Alvarez’s recent goalscoring exploits, there is the understanding that the Premier League champions are willing to pay a £1.3m compensation fee to end the loan early.

      Kane commits future to Spurs
      Harry Kane is open to the possibility of signing a new extended contract with Tottenham, according to The Daily Mail.
      The striker was a frustrated figure in North London at the start of last season after his club blocked a big-money move to Manchester City.
      However, the England captain has become ‘increasingly hopeful’ of Spurs’ long-term ambition since the appointment of Antonio Conte.
      It was revealed earlier this week that Conte would be handed a cool £150m to improve the playing squad this summer.
      Saliba still part of plan
      William Saliba will not be sold this summer despite increasing interest from clubs across Europe.
      The 21-year-old has enjoyed another impressive season out on loan – this time at Marseille – in which he also broke into the French national team.
      The Ligue 1 side have been keen to make his loan move permanent while the likes of AC Milan have also been linked.
      However, Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu have reiterated that the player’s long-term future is at the Emirates, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      The Gunners plan to finally integrate Saliba within the first team next season.

      De Gea to pen new deal
      David de Gea is set to sign a new Manchester United contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2025.

      De Gea joined the Red Devils in 2011, and is closing in on 500 appearances for the club.
      Meanwhile, United have announced a pre-season friendly with De Gea’s former club Atletico Madrid.
      The fixture will be played in Oslo on July 30, a week before the new Premier League season is scheduled to start.

      United to open Nkunku bidding
      Manchester United will open the bidding for RB Leipzig’s in-demand Christopher Nkunku with a £60m offer, according to journalist Ekrem Konur.
      The Red Devils have long been tracking the 24-year-old, who has just completed a sensational season in Germany.
      The forward struck 35 goals in all competitions, and weighed in with 20 assists too as Leipzig finished fourth in the Bundesliga.
      Following the appointment of Erik ten Hag, the Premier League club are now ready to begin the business of overhauling their squad.
      However, it has emerged in the past 24 hours that Chelsea are ready to rival United for the French international.
      Bernardo can fill Frenkie hole
      Barcelona manager Xavi has identified Bernardo Silva as the player he wants to replace Frenkie de Jong with if the Dutchman leaves the Nou Camp.
      De Jong has been heavily linked with a big-money move away from LaLiga this summer with Manchester United believed to be increasingly keen on the 25-year-old.
      And his arrival in Manchester could yet prove to be the catalyst for a significant departure from the city.
      Mundo Deportivo report that the Catalan giants want Man City’s Bernardo to be his successor in the Barca midfield.
      Xavi is understood to see the Spaniard as being technically superior to the departing De Jong.
      Blues target offered new deal
      Chelsea transfer target Ivan Perisic has been offered a new deal to stay at Inter Milan.
      The Croatian star has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge on a free transfer when his current contract with the Nerazzurri expires next month.
      However, the Serie A side are desperate to keep the 33-year-old, and have tabled an improved £5m-per-season proposal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      Perisic is understood to be considering his options with Tottenham also interested in the two-footed midfielder.

      Bayern ‘keeping eye’ on Rashford
      Bayern Munich are keeping a close eye on Marcus Rashford’s ongoing situation at Manchester United.
      The English international endured a frustrating 2021-22 campaign, and had entertained the possibility of a move away from the hometown club that he joined as a seven-year-old.
      The revelation earlier in the year had put a number of teams on red alert, and Bayern have maintained their interest despite the Red Devils’ recent change in regime.
      The Telegraph understand that Rashford now wishes to stay and fight for his place under new boss Erik ten Hag, but could a bid from the German giants be too much to ignore?

      JT vs Rio: ‘Stats don’t lie’
      John Terry has claimed the “stats don’t lie” after Rio Ferdinand only labelled him as the fifth-best centre-back in Premier League history.
      The Chelsea icon is regarded by many as one of the greatest defenders in the Prem era, winning the title on five occasions.

      Ferdinand though put THREE Manchester United centre-backs ahead of old England colleague Terry, including himself.
      The Old Trafford hero was debating the best central defenders of the Prem era with Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk for BT Sport.
      And Ferdinand put himself in top spot, followed by team-mate Nemanja Vidic, Van Dijk at third, Jaap Stam fourth and Terry fifth.
      Van Dijk meanwhile omitted himself and put Ferdinand top too, followed by Vincent Kompany, Stam, Terry and Sami Hyypia.
      One man though who didn’t agree was Stamford Bridge stalwart Terry.
      Taking to his Instagram story Terry posted a picture that contained a variety of stats to back him up.
      They included captains with most Prem titles and centre-backs with the highest winning percentage in Prem history.
      Both of which were topped by Terry, who captioned the post “opinions are great but the stats don’t lie”.
      Man Utd hit snag over De Jong
      Barcelona will only sell Frenkie de Jong if they can sign Robert Lewandowski or Bernardo Silva, according to reports.
      The Manchester United target has been linked with a £65million move away from Catalonia.

      Bayern Munich striker Lewandowski has admitted that he wants to leave the Bundesliga champions and that he won’t extend his contract, which has a year left to run.
      Silva, meanwhile, could have been sold by Manchester City last summer, although his performances since have re-cemented his position as a key player.
      Is Ron a ‘giant’ or a giant ‘problem’?
      Cristiano Ronaldo’s roles will be one of the major dilemmas for new United boss Erik ten Hag.
      The Dutchman insists he ‘can’t wait’ to work with the ‘giant’ who at 37 was this season’s top scorer.

      But Jamie Carragher is among pundits who believe the older version of Ronaldo could cause a tactical ‘problem’.
      No-one doubts that Portugal frontman Ronaldo is an all-time great – for Real Madrid, Juventus and United.
      But CV and reputation alone can’t sustain a playing career.
      So who do you reckon will be right? Or could it be a mixture of both – a ‘giant’ headache?

      The stopper began his career at Derby 20 years ago, and has since played for Burnley, Oldham, Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke.
      He told the club’s official website: “After 511 appearances, I’ve decided it’s the right time to move into the next stage of my career.
      “There have been so many fun moments mixed in with the odd challenge, but I’m grateful for each and every one.
      “Fulfilling a boyhood dream of playing for Manchester United was something I thought was out of reach, so to have achieved that fills me with great pride and emotion!”

      United’s outgoing director of football negotiations Matt Judge had identified Scarlett as a potential recruit with the player in the final months of his previous deal with the North Londoners.

      The fixture will be played in Oslo on July 30, a week before the new Premier League season is scheduled to start.

      United to open Nkunku bidding
      Manchester United will open the bidding for RB Leipzig’s in-demand Christopher Nkunku with a £60m offer, according to journalist Ekrem Konur.
      The Red Devils have long been tracking the 24-year-old, who has just completed a sensational season in Germany.
      The forward struck 35 goals in all competitions, and weighed in with 20 assists too as Leipzig finished fourth in the Bundesliga.
      Following the appointment of Erik ten Hag, the Premier League club are now ready to begin the business of overhauling their squad.
      However, it has emerged in the past 24 hours that Chelsea are ready to rival United for the French international.
      Bayern ‘keeping eye’ on Rashford
      Bayern Munich are keeping a close eye on Marcus Rashford’s ongoing situation at Manchester United.
      The English international endured a frustrating 2021-22 campaign, and had entertained the possibility of a move away from the hometown club that he joined as a seven-year-old.
      The revelation earlier in the year had put a number of teams on red alert, and Bayern have maintained their interest despite the Red Devils’ recent change in regime.
      The Telegraph understand that Rashford now wishes to stay and fight for his place under new boss Erik ten Hag, but could a bid from the German giants be too much to ignore?

      Good morning United fans
      Villarreal star Pau Torres’ agents will travel to Manchester this week to negotiate a contract with United.
      According to reports, the centre-back is one of the players up for grabs and is valued at just £45million.
      Manchester United ace Anthony Martial is on his way back to Old Trafford after Sevilla rejected the chance to sign him.
      Martial joined the Andalusians on loan during the January transfer window but he missed six games through injury, scored just one goal and was even jeered by his own fans in a miserable spell.
      Chelsea are “ready to launch a bid” for RB Leipzig forward and United transfer target Christopher Nkunku, claim reports.
      New manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo is part of his plans for next season.
      Boss Ten Hag has also met with kitchen staff as he wants to look at weekly menus and choose what will stay or go, according to SunSport’s Daniel Cutts.
      Ten Hag will speak to the groundsmen about daily training set-ups for drills ahead of pre-season as well.
      The 52-year-old is a real stickler for detail, even down to the length of the grass on different pitches.
      Torres agents coming to Manchester
      Villarreal star Pau Torres’ agents will travel to Manchester this week to negotiate a contract with United.
      That is providing an agreement can be struck with the Yellow Submarine first.
      According to Deportes de Periodico Mediterraneo, the centre-back is one of the players up for grabs and is valued at just £45million.
      The Red Devils are among those keen and it’s also claimed that the Spain international’s agents Tarraga and Fores would be willing to travel to Manchester as early as this week to negotiate a contract.
      The 25-year-old has been made available this summer due to the La Liga club’s financial struggles

      Meet the Rashfords
      Premier League ace Marcus Rashford proposed to his childhood sweetheart while on a romantic trip to Hollywood.
      The Manchester United forward, 24, popped the question to Lucia Loi, also 24, as they toured celebrity hangouts in Los Angeles.
      Rashford shared a romantic image to mark the special occasion.
      Congrats Marcus!

      Ant good enough
      Manchester United ace Anthony Martial is on his way back to Old Trafford after Sevilla rejected the chance to sign him.
      Martial joined the Andalusians on loan during the January transfer window but he missed six games through injury, scored just one goal and was even jeered by his own fans in a miserable spell.
      Sevilla president Jose Castro said: “Anthony Martial will return to Man United.
      “We spent important money on him but it didn’t work. Also, he had injuries and we’re not going to buy him on a permanent deal”
      Lingard of honour
      Marcus Rashford was spotted leaving a swanky restaurant in Los Angeles with Jesse Lingard on Wednesday.
      The pair may have been tucking into a farewell meal for Lingard who is set to leave United on a free transfer this summer.
      Lingard’s contract at Old Trafford is set to expire in the summer and the winger has no intention of penning a new deal with the Red Devils.
      The winger could remain in the Premier League with West Ham keen on giving him a new home following his successful loan spell in East London during the second half of the 2020/21 season.
      Van de Beek district
      Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says he is relishing working with former Everton loanee Donny van de Beek.
      The two men had a successful partnership at Ajax that saw them winning the Double and making it to the Champions League semi-finals.
      Ten Hag said: “Of course we had a fantastic squad in that time in Ajax.
      “We had a fantastic relationship and I look forward to seeing him again”
      Don’t be Rash
      Marcus Rashford is poised to turn down Bayern Munich and fight for his place under new boss Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
      Rashford was thought to be considering a move away from United following a poor season where he only scored five times in 32 matches across all competitions.
      However, it seems Rashford still wants to prove his worth to the Red Devils, according to The Telegraph.
      Ten Hag’s plan to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title has resonated with Rashford.
      And to show his intent, Rashford plans to put himself through some intense training in the USA.
      The England international will travel to America for a grueling training schedule next month, before linking back up with his United teammates on June 27, the report adds.
      Chelsea in for Man Utd target Nkunku
      Chelsea are “ready to launch a bid” for RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku, claim reports.
      GOAL report that Chelsea sense a chance to get their man.
      Nkunku was named Bundesliga’s Player of the Season.
      The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has been constantly linked with a move to United, who sent scouts to watch him in action in April.
      United’s pursuit was given a boost when it was reported that the France international was open to a Premier League switch.
      And now it appears the Blues have joined the race to sign Nkunku.
      Laying down the law
      New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is already undergoing a huge internal review as his plans to overhaul the club begin, according to SunSport’s Daniel Cutts.
      Ten Hag has begun his United rebuild at their training ground, with ambitions to lead the club back to the Premier League’s elite crew.
      SunSport understands the different support departments at the Carrington training complex have been told of his plans.
      The Dutch tactician wants to spend time with each of them to see how they work and meet the staff on a personal level.
      This includes everyone from the technical analysis team to the nutritionists and conditioners
      It’s still Ron
      New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo is part of his plans for next season.
      Ronaldo’s future has been uncertain for quite a few months and there were questions as to whether Ten Hag was planning to hold onto him.
      But the Dutch tactician has put all the speculation to rest after being asked if he wants the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to stay: “Of course!”
      Ten Hag was then asked what Ronaldo brings, to which he responded “goals”.
      Ten Hag taking over
      New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has also met with kitchen staff as he wants to look at weekly menus and choose what will stay or go, according to SunSport’s Daniel Cutts.
      Ten Hag will speak to the groundsmen about daily training set-ups for drills ahead of pre-season as well.
      The 52-year-old is a real stickler for detail, even down to the length of the grass on different pitches.
      A source said: “He’s bringing his own style. It feels like an army leader getting his troops in order.”
      The Dutch tactician took an official tour of the Aon Training Complex earlier this week and had his first press conference on Monday afternoon.
      And Ten Hag has already warned his players of his brutal work ethic and preparation plans ahead of the new campaign

      Nketiah’s £100k per week contract, Arsenal ‘pull plug’ on Partey, Saliba’s new deal, Martinez REJECTS Gunners – latest

      by

      EDDIE NKETIAH is set to STAY at Arsenal having been offered a whopping new contract according to reports.Nketiah, 22, had been linked with moving away on a free transfer this summer but it has now been reported he is set to sign a new five-year deal with the club which will see him earn around £100k per week.
      Meanwhile, Arsenal have requested that the Ghana football association do not include Thomas Partey in their squad.
      Elsewhere, the pathway for William Saliba’s return could be clearing up as reports suggest that Arsenal want the Frenchman as part of the project.
      And reports suggest that summer target Lautaro Martinez has rejected a move to North London in the upcoming transfer market.

      U-21s not backseat for Rowe
      Lee Carsley says Emile Smith Rowe should not see his inclusion back in the England U21 squad as a “demotion”.
      And the Young Lions chief fully expects Arsenal star Smith Rowe to be on top of his game, despite having been in the senior set-up last time out.
      Smith Rowe came off the bench in England’s 3-0 win over Ivory Coast in March, and now has three senior caps and a goal to his name.
      But Gareth Southgate overlooked him for his latest squad, leaving Carsley to select him for the four Euro qualifiers the U21s play in June.
      But Carsley said: “We don’t want them to see it as a demotion. Ultimately your club form takes care of that. 
      “Our job is to maybe let them kick-start themselves again or maybe come into form and score some goals.
      “It’s such a high standard in the seniors that it’s almost a conveyor belt where you need to perform weekly in, week out. 
      “The way Gareth communicates to the players when they go up always leaves that opportunity to come back across and play with us.”
      Who’s Gunning a move?
      Arsenal are set for a busy summer transfer window as they prepare for the demands of European football next season.
      Betfair have revealed the four most likely players to arrive at the Emirates Stadium with Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus the current favourite.

      Mikel Arteta will be in the market for new players in a number of positions, with improving their squad depth being the main focus point due to a much busier fixture list for next season.
      For much of the run-in towards the end of the Premier League season it looked as though Arsenal would be preparing to welcome Champions League football for the first time in six years.
      Two losses in their final three games, to Tottenham and Newcastle, meant a four point cushion over their North London rivals vanished, with the Gunners finishing fifth, two points shy of Spurs.
      Arsenal’s eighth-place finish in 2021 meant that the Gunners had no European football to deal with this season, so the requirement of having to play twice a week for most weeks next season will encourage the need for a deeper, stronger squad.
      Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus is the name most heavily linked with Arsenal at the moment.
      Arsenal are in need of a striker with the departure of Alexandre Lacazette looking likely, and the contract saga of Eddie Nketiah still looking uncertain.
      BETFAIR ODDS

      Gabriel Jesus 4/9
      Youri Tielemans 10/11
      Dominic Calvert-Lewin 3/1
      James Maddison 4/1

      Blow for Prem giants as Dembele is set for PSG
      Chelsea have been dealt a transfer blow as Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele could join Paris Saint-Germain, reports suggest.
      AS say Dembele – previously linked to Manchester United and Arsenal -has rejected a new Barca contract offer to leave on a free transfer next month.

      The forward has been linked with the Blues, who are looking to add some firepower up front after Todd Boehly’s takeover is officially completed.
      However, the 25-year-old looks set to return to France for PSG ahead of the summer transfer window.
      The Blaugrana tried to sell Dembele in January to avoid losing their second most expensive signing of all time for free at the end of the season.
      But the Frenchman stayed put and played an important role in the team’s dramatic improvement, which saw them finish second in LaLiga.
      The Catalan giants were hoping to convince the striker to stay by signing his friend Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal.
      Barcelona manager Xavi also sang his praises continuously and expressed his desire to keep him. However, Dembele, who joined Barca from Borussia Dortmund for a whopping £138million in 2017, will be leaving next month.
      Gunners put Doucoure under the Lens
      Arsenal are rated one of Lens midfielder Cheick Doucoure’s main Prem admirers.
      The Gunners are planning a huge summer revamp this summer after missing out on Champions League football.

      There are reportedly twelve names that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has on his wishlist including Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.
      And the Mirror claim one player the Gunners are tracking is Doucoure who’s set to leave Lens for the Prem in the transfer window.
      The 22-year-old’s been in stellar form for Lens this season, providing four assists and one goal across 34 Ligue 1 appearances.
      And the Mali international now wants to try his hand in England where he’s not short on interest.
      My Wil is not to return
      Arsenal loanee William Saliba has yet again reiterated his desire to stay at Marseille after helping the club secure Champions League football.
      Quoted by GFFN after Marseille’s 4-0 win against Strasbourg, Saliba said: “I want to come back and play the Champions’ League.
      “I have never played in it and I want to discover it here.”
      Speaking earlier this month, the defender labelled L’OM as “my club” as declared it would be his “pleasure” to stay.
      Gunners Schick as a parrot
      Arsenal have been dealt another transfer blow by the news that long-term target Patrick Schick has penned a new deal with Bayer Leverkusen.
      The Czech has been a constant contender during Mikel Arteta’s search for a striker, and had been considered a realistic option this summer after the Gunners missed out on the Champions League.
      However, the 26-year-old has now committed his future to the Bundesliga outfit after signing a new five-year contract.
      Schick netted an impressive 24 goals in just 27 league appearances for Die Werkself last term.
      Arsenal pull plug on Partey
      Arsenal have reportedly contacted the Ghana Football Association to request that Thomas Partey is omitted from his country’s national squad ahead of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and the Central Africa Republic.
      The 28-year-old, who missed the Gunners’ last nine games of the season with a hamstring injury, was expected to be called up by head coach Otto Addo.
      However, the Premier League club are still monitoring the player’s return to fitness, and have asked for him to be left out as a precaution.
      Saliba still part of plan
      William Saliba will not be sold this summer despite increasing interest from clubs across Europe.
      The 21-year-old has enjoyed another impressive season out on loan – this time at Marseille – in which he also broke into the French national team.
      The Ligue 1 side have been keen to make his loan move permanent while the likes of AC Milan have also been linked.
      However, Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu have reiterated that the player’s long-term future is at the Emirates, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      The Gunners plan to finally integrate Saliba within the first team next season.

      Gunners duo up for award
      Arsenal goalkeepers Aaron Ramsdale and Bernd Leno are both up for the Premier League Save of the Season award.
      The Gunners are the only club to have two different stoppers on the ten-save shortlist.
      Ramsdale was nominated for his brilliant flying effort that tipped James Maddison’s free-kick on to the crossbar at Leicester back in October.
      Leno’s stop to deny Romelu Lukaku from close range on the opening weekend of the season is also among the contenders.
      You can vote for the award on the Premier League website.

      Gnabry a no-go this summer
      Serge Gnabry is open to a sensational return to Arsenal – but it won’t happen this summer after the Gunners missed out on Champions League football.
      BILD journalist Christian Falk reports that the Bayern Munich star has entertained the idea of a move back to the Premier League, and the club where he began his career.
      However, any deal is said to be currently financially unviable after the Gunners failed to finish in the top four.
      Instead, the North London outfit’s best hope of landing the 26-year-old lies in 2023 when Gnabry is out of contract at the Allianz Arena.

      Good morning Arsenal fans
      Arsenal star Mohamed Elneny has agreed a new contract to stay at the Emirates.
      The midfielder hardly featured for previous manager Unai Emery, which led to a loan to Besiktas in 2019, and he initially struggled under Mikel Arteta.
      However, the Egypt international has now emerged as a key member of the squad after he was given an opportunity following three straight defeats.
      Roma star Tammy Abraham is keen to return to London amid links with Arsenal.
      According to reports, Abraham would be keen to return to the capital.
      Despite William Saliba not wanting to return to Arsenal, boss Mikel Arteta wants him BACK.
      Arteta is now finally keen to integrate his young star into his Arsenal defence.
      And the Gunners have made Eddie Nketiah a final contract offer to keep him at the Emirates Stadium.
      Reports claim there is growing confidence that Nketiah will stay at the club despite increasing interest from West Ham and Crystal Palace.
      Youri Tielemans boost
      Arsenal received a major transfer boost in their bid to sign Leicester star Youri Tielemans.
      According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Tielemans is “keen” on a move to the Emirates.
      The midfielder has stood out at the King Power Stadium this season and has been linked with a move away.
      Manchester United and Real Madrid are also said to be interested in the Belgium international.
      Tammy Abraham boost
      Roma star Tammy Abraham is keen to return to London amid links with Arsenal.
      According to Metro, Abraham would be keen to return to the capital following his stint with Chelsea.
      The striker has enjoyed a stellar debut campaign with the Giallorossi and has amassed 27 goals as well as five assists in 52 matches across all competitions.
      That has led to interest from the North Londoners, according to Football London.

      Nketiah given a final contract offer, say reports
      Arsenal have made Eddie Nketiah a final contract offer to keep him at the Emirates Stadium, writes Alex Smith.
      The Daily Mail are reporting that there is growing confidence that Nketiah will stay at the club despite increasing interest from West Ham and Crystal Palace.
      The striker had reportedly rejected the chance to extend his current deal, which is up this summer.
      But having enjoyed a run in the starting XI at the end of the season, he may now have been convinced to stay.

      Mikel Arteta is supposedly a big fan of Nketiah and with Alexandre Lacazette leaving the club there is a chance he continues as first choice striker next season.
      The 22-year-old started eight league games for the Gunners this campaign scoring five goals.
      No says Sal
      Arsenal loanee William Saliba has yet again reiterated his desire to stay at Marseille after helping the club secure Champions League football.
      Quoted by GFFN after Marseille’s 4-0 win against Strasbourg, Saliba said: “I want to come back and play the Champions’ League.
      “I have never played in it and I want to discover it here.”
      Speaking earlier this month, the defender labelled L’OM as “my club” as declared it would be his “pleasure” to stay.
      Sali-back says Arteta
      Despite William Saliba not wanting to return to Arsenal, boss Mikel Arteta wants him BACK.
      Arteta is now finally keen to integrate his young star into his Arsenal defence.
      He told RMC: “William Saliba has to come back. He has the experience to be competitive with us. We sent him to Marseille for his growth.”
      “William wanted to be regular starter as you know but now we want him back at Arsenal.”
      Saliba’s impressive season with Marseille led to him being named as the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year.
      The move to the south of France was the third loan deal Arsenal have arranged for Saliba since signing him, following stints at Saint-Etienne and Nice.

      Van Persie helps Nelson
      Arsenal legend Robin van Persie has been helping his former club out by giving Feyenoord loanee Reiss Nelson tips.
      Nelson told The Athletic: “Yeah, I speak with him.
      “Sometimes he comes over on a Wednesday, before Europa Conference League games on a Thursday.
      “I ask him about what positions I need to be getting in. Certain movements I need to be doing, certain finishes.
      “He’s amazing. He makes it so much simpler for you to understand. Sometimes the ball will come inside, and you go to smash it.
      “He’s just like, ‘Look, make sure you get [good] contact, make sure your body is this way, make sure you just want to hit it into the corner’”

      The potential transfer is still on according to Globo Esporte, with the forward prepared to miss out on Europe’s premier competition.
      The report adds that the Brazil international’s agents will now meet with City to present offers for the striker with the club hoping to fetch a fee between £42million-£52m.

      Todd Boehly’s ‘£200m’ war chest for transfers, Blues ‘prepare’ Nkunku bid, Lampard plotting Chelsea raid – updates

      by

      CHELSEA’S wait of new ownership is set to FINALLY come to an end with the UK government and the Premier League approving Todd Boehly’s bid.Secretary of state for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Nadine Dorries said: “We are satisfied the proceeds of the sale will not benefit Roman Abramovich or other sanctioned individuals.”
      LA Dodgers owner Boehly, 48, will take the reins and has reportedly promised a £200 million war chest for Thomas Tuchel to have access to this summer.
      And some of that money could go towards the signing of RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku who Chelsea are heavily linked to.
      However, the Blues could be raided by legend Frank Lampard who reportedly hopes to bring some of Chelsea’s stars to Everton.

      Keep up to date with all of the latest gossip from the Stamford Bridge…
      JT vs Rio: ‘Stats don’t lie’
      John Terry has claimed the “stats don’t lie” after Rio Ferdinand only labelled him as the fifth-best centre-back in Premier League history.
      The Chelsea icon is regarded by many as one of the greatest defenders in the Prem era, winning the title on five occasions.

      Ferdinand though put THREE Manchester United centre-backs ahead of old England colleague Terry, including himself.
      The Old Trafford hero was debating the best central defenders of the Prem era with Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk for BT Sport.
      And Ferdinand put himself in top spot, followed by team-mate Nemanja Vidic, Van Dijk at third, Jaap Stam fourth and Terry fifth.
      Van Dijk meanwhile omitted himself and put Ferdinand top too, followed by Vincent Kompany, Stam, Terry and Sami Hyypia.
      One man though who didn’t agree was Stamford Bridge stalwart Terry.
      Taking to his Instagram story Terry posted a picture that contained a variety of stats to back him up.
      They included captains with most Prem titles and centre-backs with the highest winning percentage in Prem history.
      Both of which were topped by Terry, who captioned the post “opinions are great but the stats don’t lie”.

      Goal say Goal, the Hammers and the Magpies are amongst the frontrunners for the Slough-born starlet.
      But Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is believed to be open to Braja returning to Stamford Bridge next season.
      Blow for Prem giants as Dembele is set for PSG
      Chelsea have been dealt a transfer blow as Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele could join Paris Saint-Germain, reports suggest.
      AS say Dembele – previously linked to Manchester United and Arsenal -has rejected a new Barca contract offer to leave on a free transfer next month.

      The forward has been linked with the Blues, who are looking to add some firepower up front after Todd Boehly’s takeover is officially completed.
      However, the 25-year-old looks set to return to France for PSG ahead of the summer transfer window.
      The Blaugrana tried to sell Dembele in January to avoid losing their second most expensive signing of all time for free at the end of the season.
      But the Frenchman stayed put and played an important role in the team’s dramatic improvement, which saw them finish second in LaLiga.
      The Catalan giants were hoping to convince the striker to stay by signing his friend Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal.
      Barcelona manager Xavi also sang his praises continuously and expressed his desire to keep him. However, Dembele, who joined Barca from Borussia Dortmund for a whopping £138million in 2017, will be leaving next month.
      Inter offer Chelsea target Perisic new deal
      Chelsea transfer target Ivan Perisic has been offered a new deal to stay at Inter Milan.
      The Croatian star has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge on a free transfer when his current contract with the Nerazzurri expires next month.
      However, the Serie A side are desperate to keep the 33-year-old, and have tabled an improved £5m-per-season proposal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      Perisic is understood to be considering his options with Tottenham also interested in the two-footed midfielder.
      Dembele rejects new Barca deal
      Ousmane Dembele has rejected a new contract offer from Barcelona and looks set to join Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.
      The French international signed for the LaLiga club from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 for a whopping €105m, but saw much of his time in Spain blighted by injuries.
      In five years at the Nou Camp, Dembele has managed 150 appearances for Barca, scoring 32 goals and providing 34 assists.
      The news of Dembele’s return to France will come as a blow to Chelsea, who had been hoping to tempt the 25-year-old into a move to Stamford Bridge.

      Boehly to hand Tuchel £200m
      New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly will provide Thomas Tuchel with £200m for new players after completing his takeover at Stamford Bridge, report The Mail.
      However, ‘vast chunks’ of that war chest is expected to be used to recruit new defenders.
      Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger have already confirmed their departures from the club, and Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta are expected to follow suit
      As we reported this week, a deal for Sevilla Jules Kounde is nearing completion – although the LaLiga club are holding out for the player’s release fee of £81m to be met.
      Elsewhere, the Blues are also interested in Villarreal’s Pau Torres – a target for Manchester United – and Leicester’s Wesley Fofana.
      Rejuvenated Lampard plotting Chelsea raid
      Frank Lampard is planning a return to former club Chelsea this summer in order to snap up some of their hottest young talent.
      The Everton boss, buoyed by his side avoiding relegation, wants to inject youth and ambition into his ageing squad, and has targeted a number players that he previously worked with at Stamford Bridge.
      The Liverpool Echo have speculated on which youngsters could be tempted by a reunion with Lampard, and suggest that Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher, Levi Colwill, Ethan Ampadu and Billy Gilmour all fit the bill.
      Lampard has built a reputation for bringing youngsters through during his fledgling managerial career, and can be considered a major factor for the current success enjoyed by Mason Mount and Reece James.
      Johnson keen on Perisic interest
      Former Chelsea full-back Glen Johnson would welcome his old club bringing in Ivan Perisic on a free transfer.
      The 33-year-old Croatian is viewed as an upgrade on Marcos Alonso, and could be the ideal candidate to share left wing-back duties with Ben Chilwell should he move to the Londoners.
      In conversation with Bettingodds.com, Johnson admitted he would be thrilled to see Perisic join the Blues.
      “Yes, absolutely. It would represent a smart bit of business. He’s another top player who can play in a few positions,” he said.
      “If Alonso’s going to leave the club and you can bring in a player like him on a free, who can play in a couple of positions, then it sounds like a no brainer.”
      Target offered new Inter deal
      Chelsea transfer target Ivan Perisic has been offered a new deal to stay at Inter Milan.
      The Croatian star has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge on a free transfer when his current contract with the Nerazzurri expires next month.
      However, the Serie A side are desperate to keep the 33-year-old, and have tabled an improved £5m-per-season proposal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      Perisic is understood to be considering his options with Tottenham also interested in the two-footed midfielder.

      Good morning Chelsea fans
      Todd Boehly’s £4.25bn takeover now has Government and Premier League approval, meaning new signings aren’t too far away.
      Jules Kounde tops the shortlist of defenders, and the Sevilla man would slot straight in on the right hand side of a back-three if he is recruited.
      Personal terms have already been agreed and the Frenchman is only waiting for Chelsea, reports say.
      Meanwhile on the other side the left-footed Josko Gvardiol is an option, having impressed at RB Leipzig.
      Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen and captain Cesar Azpilicueta are on their way to Barcelona, while Thiago Silva is at the advanced age of 37.
      Chelsea are also “ready to launch a bid” for RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku, claim reports.
      Chelsea have been handed a major transfer boost as Barcelona boss Xavi admitted Ousmane Dembele may have played his last game for the club against Villarreal.
      Blues Possible XI

      Jules Kounde tops the shortlist of defenders, and the Sevilla man would slot straight in on the right hand side of a back-three if he is recruited.
      Meanwhile on the other side the left-footed Josko Gvardiol is an option, having impressed at RB Leipzig.
      And in attack the Blues are claimed to be plotting an ambitious raid for Manchester City star Raheem Sterling.
      The 27-year-old is out of contract at the Etihad at the end of next season, and is an option if Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech or Christian Pulisic depart.
      There could be a fresh face in midfield too.
      West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is highly thought of, but his £150m price-tag is likely to price the Blues out of a move.
      Monaco man Aurelien Tchouameni is an alternative, and is admired by those in high places at Stamford Bridge.
      A midfield duo of Tchouameni and Mateo Kovacic would be likely to strike fear into the hearts of any Premier League side.
      Especially with English duo Reece James and Ben Chilwell marauding down the wings either side of them.
      Arms race for Broja
      Chelsea loanee Armando Broja is at the centre of a transfer war between Newcastle and West Ham.
      Broja impressed with a series of impressive displays at Southampton and has attracted the attention of other clubs before the summer window.
      According to Goal, the Hammers and the Magpies are attempting to sign the forward during the summer.
      Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is believed to be open to the Albania international returning to Stamford Bridge next season.
      But the 20-year-old may have options if he wants more first-team football next season

      Chelsea’s summer spending
      Thomas Tuchel will be chomping at the bit for Chelsea to spring into life in the transfer market – and he doesn’t have long left to wait writes Giacomo Pisa.
      Todd Boehly’s £4.25bn takeover now has Government and Premier League approval, meaning new signings aren’t too far away.
      Reports suggest Boehly is eager to back Tuchel in the upcoming window and will give the German around £200m to play with.
      Chelsea are even said to have drawn up an EIGHT-MAN centre-back shortlist to cope with the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
      It’s expected to be a busy summer of incomings and outgoings at Stamford Bridge, and Tuchel’s line up could be very different come the start of the new season.
      Last Gall for Conor?
      Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira has refused to rule out a transfer for Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher.
      Vieira said of Gallagher, who is set to return to Stamford Bridge after the end of the season: “Conor has been fantastic for us.
      “He felt like he is at home the way he has been performing for us. He understands the way that we want to play the game, and he brings his energy and his determination.
      “We know that he has to go back to Chelsea. Then, what will happen? We don’t know”

      Chelsea in for Nkunku
      Chelsea are “ready to launch a bid” for RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku, claim reports.
      GOAL report that Chelsea sense a chance to get their man.
      Nkunku was named Bundesliga’s Player of the Season.
      The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has been constantly linked with a move to United, who sent scouts to watch him in action in April.
      United’s pursuit was given a boost when it was reported that the France international was open to a Premier League switch.
      And now it appears the Blues have joined the race to sign Nkunku.
      Go for it
      Former Chelsea ace Glen Johnson advised his former club to try and beat Barcelona for Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski.
      Johnson told Betting Odds: “In terms of the player himself, then yes. But business-wise, what that might do to [Romelu] Lukaku, if he’s not playing where’s he going to go, how much is he going to be worth.
      “They bought him for an awful lot of money. But at the same time, if they give him another six months and he doesn’t perform, then they might miss out on the top four. It’s a tough one.
      “While Lewandowski is available on the free, I think you have to try and sign him.”

      Jules Kounde situation
      Chelsea’s approved takeover is a major boost in their longtime bid to sign Sevilla star Jules Kounde.
      The Blues are in desperate need of defensive reinforcement after losing Antonio Rudiger to Real Madrid.
      Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen and captain Cesar Azpilicueta are on their way to Barcelona, while Thiago Silva is at the advanced age of 37.
      Transfer guru Andreas Korssund tweeted: “Jules Kounde is closing in on a move to Chelsea.
      “The Blues will conclude talks with Sevilla as soon as Boehly’s takeover is complete and they are ready to pay the required fee.
      “Personal terms have already been agreed and the Frenchman is only waiting for Chelsea”

      Juve not so keen
      Juventus aren’t planning to “spend big” for Chelsea star Jorginho ahead of the summer transfer window.
      That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who reports that Juve are prioritising moves for Angel Di Maria and Paul Pogba over the 30-year-old.
      The midfielder’s future at Stamford Bridge has become uncertain amid the ongoing takeover process.
      The Italy international’s contract expires next year and rumours suggested he is keen on a return to the Serie A
      Xav some of that
      Chelsea have been handed a major transfer boost as Barcelona boss Xavi admitted Ousmane Dembele may have played his last game for the club against Villarreal.
      According to Get Football News Spain, the Spanish tactician said: “It could be his last game, but it could also be the last game for others.
      “I like him and he can help us in the future. It depends on the negotiations.”
      The Blues have been linked with the forward ahead of the summer transfer window

      Nadine Dorries statement
      Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Nadine Dorries stated that the Government is satisfied the proceeds from Chelsea’s sale won’t go to outgoing owner Roman Abramovich.
      Dorries tweeted: “Last night the Government issued a licence that permits the sale of [Chelsea].
      “Given the sanctions we placed on those linked to [Vladimir] Putin and the bloody invasion of Ukraine, the long-term future of the club can only be secured under a new owner.
      “We are satisfied the proceeds of the sale will not benefit Roman Abramovich or other sanctioned individuals.
      “I want to thank everyone, especially officials who’ve worked tirelessly to keep the club playing and enable this sale, protecting fans and the wider football community”

      Mount of a task
      Arsenal ace Nuno Tavares has claimed that Chelsea star Mason Mount is the toughest opponent he has faced while at the Gunners.
      Speaking about his most tricky opponent on the Counter Attack YouTube channel, Tavares said: “Mason Mount of Chelsea.
      “I think the positions, he knows the place he should be to make people feel uncomfortable and with the ball he has too much quality.
      “He has goals, you know, so I think Mason Mount”

      Mount’s new contract
      Chelsea star Mason Mount is set to receive a new deal after Todd Boehly’s takeover.
      According to i, Mount will be the first player to benefit from the Blues’ new owners.
      The forward, who is reportedly on around £80,000-per-week, is expected to have his wages at least doubled under a new agreement that will be permitted once the takeover is officially completed.
      This comes after the Premier League and UK government approved Boehly’s £4.25billion takeover

      Adrien Rabiot race
      Chelsea are set to offer £17million for Juventus star Adrien Rabiot ahead of the summer transfer window.
      The Blues are eyeing a cut-price fee for Rabiot, according to Tuttosport.
      N’Golo Kante and Jorginho only have one-year left on their contracts themselves, meaning midfield reinforcements may be necessary at Stamford Bridge.
      But money-bags Newcastle could rival the West Londoners to the signing of the France international.

£100k per week contract, Arsenal ‘pull plug’ on Partey
      Everton, Brighton, Crystal Palace, and Wolves are tracking Doucore along with Arsenal, the report adds.
      SunSport exclusively revealed that Palace came close to securing his services for £15million in April but the transfer never materialised.

      However, Arsenal have a number of alternative options they can turn to if Doucoure chooses to go elsewhere.

      Tielemans is out of contract in summer 2023, and Arteta’s urged the Gunners to place a £25m bid for the Belgian playmaker.
      But the Foxes may play hardball and demand upto £40m for their prized asset.
      The Gunners also have to do battle with Real Madrid, Tottenham, and Manchester United for Tielemans. More

£100k per week contract, Arsenal ‘pull plug’ on Partey
      Meanwhile Real Madrid are claimed to have identified the player as an alternative to Kylian Mbappe after the 23-year-old penned a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain.
      But Real’s interest hasn’t stopped Arsenal from looking to secure Gnabry’s services.
      According to Sport Bild Christian Falk, Gnabry is open to a move back to North London – six years after he was sold to Werder Bremen for £5million.
      But a potential transfer could prove difficult this summer due to the club failing to secure Champions League football.

      If a deal cannot be reached in the upcoming window, it has been said Arsenal will look to lure him back next year.
      Falk tweeted: “Arsenal are interested in Serge Gnabry. Gnabry can also imagine a comeback with the Gunners.
      “After missing the Champions League, this is financially unrealistic this summer.

      ‘He hardly ever played’ – Man Utd legend slams Edinson Cavani as ‘DISGRACE’ with striker leaving on free transfer

      by

      EDINSON CAVANI was branded a disgrace for his lack of contribution this season by Manchester United icon Paul Scholes.Cavani, 35, only made 15 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils, and could only muster two goals in those matches.

      The Uruguayan capped a poor campaign by swearing at Crystal Palace fans who goaded him after defeating United 1-0.
      It was Cavani’s last time pulling on a United shirt in the Prem as he’s set to depart on a free transfer this summer.
      Cavani also caused a stir when admitting he would’ve quit United sooner if he knew the club were bringing back Cristiano Ronaldo.
      The veteran’s been linked with a move to Spain where Real Madrid and Real Sociedad are sizing him up.

      The Red Devils finished the Prem season in sixth, and Scholes reckons new boss Erik ten Hag needs a miracle to sort out the mess at the club.
      He added: “Funnily enough, since that Middlesbrough game I think I heard last night United have won only five out of 18 games or something since then.
      “It’s been embarrassing, this manager [Erik ten Hag] now needs backing.
      “Who’s going to help him do that? The club upstairs is still a bit of a mess, we don’t really know.”
      Ten Hag hopes new assistants Mitchell van der Gaag and Steve McLaren will provide all the help he needs to break Manchester City and Liverpool’s dominance in the Prem. More

      Suarez, 35, and Messi, 34, struck up a formidable relationship on the pitch together while at the Nou Camp, and they are also best mates off it.
      Now at Paris-Saint Germain, Messi has been linked with a switch to Inter Miami when his contract expires in 2023.
      Suarez on the other hand is a free agent as of now after being released by Atletico Madrid.
      And he has teased the prospect of linking up with Messi once again on the other side of the Atlantic.

Suarez puts Prem clubs on red alert by revealing his plans for next season
      Suarez was asked on Spanish radio station El Larguero about the prospect of him and best pal Messi joining up with Beckham in Miami.
      The Uruguayan suggested: “With Messi in Miami in a few years? Hopefully… you never know what happens. We’ve a great connection.
      “There is nothing better than seeing two colleagues happy outside so that they perform inside.”
      Suarez has also been linked with a free transfer back to the Premier League under ex-Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa.

      Gerrard has already recruited one former colleague in Philippe Coutinho, and has been tipped to do the same with Suarez.
      Suarez bagged a remarkable 82 goals and provided a further 46 assists in just 133 games for the Reds.
      The striker broke down in tears after playing his final match for Atletico earlier this month.
      Suarez spent two years in the Spanish capital, helping them to a league title, and would have liked to have stayed for longer.
      He admitted: “I would have liked to continue at Atletico.
      “The communication director told me that I was leaving the day before my dismissal. I said, ‘well, at least someone tells me something’.” More
