Transfer news LIVE! Arsenal in Zubimendi battle, £13m bargain; Man Utd braced for £90m bid; Chelsea eye Kounde
Arsenal are on the verge of announcing Andrea Berta as their new sporting director and he is set to immediately turn his focus to the summer transfer window. The likes of Nico Williams, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres all still key forward targets, while the Gunners are now said to be in a battle with Real Madrid to secure the signing of Martin Zubimendi. Goalkeeper Joan Garcia could also be on his way to the Emirates in a cut-price deal.
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. Bruno Fernandes, meanwhile, is said to be a target for Real Madrid, who are preparing a £90m move. 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.
