Transfer news LIVE! Arsenal identify Isak alternative; Liverpool get Kerkez boost; Trincao to Man Utd twist
Arsenal’s hunt for a striker continues to dominate the transfer headlines as they prepare to announce Andrea Berta as their new sporting director. The Gunners appear to be trying to steal a march on their rivals by getting some high-profile deals done ahead of the early summer window, with the likes of Nico Williams, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres all still being heavily linked. New reports suggest that Arsenal may now have made Hugo Ekitike their main alternative to Alexander Isak.
There has been a new twist on the Francisco Trincao to Manchester United front, with Kobbie Mainoo’s Old Trafford future still potentially in real doubt as the club also apparently look at the likes of future superstars Tyler Dibling and Chris Rigg, among other targets. Liverpool are still reeling from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s agreement with Real Madrid and are said to be talking to Jeremie Frimpong about becoming his replacement, with positive news from Milos Kerkez amid a potential breakthrough over Mohamed Salah’s contract.
