Transfer news LIVE! New Arsenal target; huge Gordon to Liverpool twist (2024)

Alexander Isak has already spoken about a possible Newcastle exit this summer.

West Ham have confirmed the signing of Wes Foderingham on a free transfer.

The former Sheffield United goalkeeper has signed a two-year deal and joins on July 1.

Arsenal face competition from Barcelona for Mikel Merino.

According to reports in Spain, Mikel Arteta rang the Real Sociedad midfielder earlier this week to get the ball rolling on a summer switch.

But Barcelona are also keen, as they target a cut-price deal for a player with just one year left on his contract.

Mundo Deportivo report that the Gunners still lead the race and the player will likely find it hard to turn down any offer.

Arsenal could wrap up a deal for Viktor Gyokeres within days.

That’s according to reports in Portugal, which claim negotiations between Sporting and the Gunners are so advanced that an agreement could be reached by the end of this week.

Fabrizio Romano has downplayed talk of such an imminent deal, but has confirmed Arsenal have explored a move for the former Coventry City striker.

One to keep an eye on.

As ever, Chelsea have been spreading their net high and wide.

Only one proven, regular Premier League goalscorer on that list.

Chelsea have made their first move for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.

The Sweden international has also been linked with Arsenal, but it is the Blues who have held talks with Newcastle to confirm their desire to sign the striker, according to the Mail.

Chelsea are aware that any fee would likely eclipse the £115million give to Brighton for Moises Caicedo, with Newcastle able to demand double the £63m Newcastle paid Real Sociedad two years ago.

Manchester United and Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham are in a Premier League fight for Jonathan David.

According to the Guardian, all four teams have designs on the Lille striker, who is available for as little as £20million as he has just one year left on his contract in France.

David, who is currently with Canada at the Copa America, is considered among the bargains of the transfer window having scored 84 goals in 183 matches for Lille.

All four teams are on the hunt for a new striker, but the Hammers may struggle to afford David's wage demands. United are currently prioritising Joshua Zirkzee.

Chelsea are pushing to complete a £5million deal for Barcelona teenage striker Marc Guiu, writes Nick Purewal.

The Blues are in advanced talks with the 18-year-old forward, and are ready to trigger his modest release clause.

Guiu is considering an offer from Chelsea alongside a new contract proposal from Barcelona.

Chelsea are still weighing a move for Lille’s Jonathan David, though the Blues will face competition for the Canada striker from a clutch of Premier League rivals.

Paulo Dybala is a target for Manchester United.

Italian newspaper Il Messaggero say the Roma striker is yet to hold talks over a new contract with the Giallorossi, which would eliminate his £10m release clause.

Reports in Argentina are also quoted as highlighting United’s interest, which is being led by Erik ten Hag.

Elsewhere, Lazio are said to be keen on Mason Greenwood with talks apparently accelerating in the last 24 hours.

Tottenham have failed in an audacious approach for West Ham star Jarrod Bownen.

According to HITC, Bowen has been identified as perfect for Ange Postecoglou's attacking side - and an enquiry was made at the ‘highest levels’ to gauge the forward's availability.

Spurs were swiftly rejected and told not to pursue Bowen, slapping a £150 million asking price on the England international's head.

Worth a shot, I guess.
