Arsenal are hoping to sign Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge during the summer transfer window.

According to a report from HLN, they have already made the ‘first contact’ with the Belgian club regarding a move for the 24-year-old, but they are yet to submit an offer.

The Belgian outfit rejected a €40 million offer from Crystal Palace for the player and will demand a club-record fee (more than Charles De Ketelaere’s €37.5m sale). It will be interesting to see if Arsenal is willing to pay a premium for the 24-year-old.

Arsenal need Christos Tzolis

Tzolis has been outstanding for the Belgian outfit, recording 51 contributions (22 goals and 29 assists) in all competitions last season.

Arsenal have sanctioned Leandro Trossard’s departure, and they need a dynamic attacker to properly replace him. The Greek international could be ideal for them. He can operate on either flank, and he can operate centrally as well. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net.

Tzolis could be tempted to join

The opportunity to play for Arsenal will be tempting for him. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they can offer him the platform to fight for the league title and the UEFA Champions League. The attacker will certainly hope that the two clubs can finalise a deal in the coming weeks.

Arsenal have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line, and it remains to be seen whether they follow up on their enquiry with an official proposal. They have a quality team at their disposal, but they need to improve their attacking unit if they want to consistently compete with elite clubs. Apart from a top-quality creator, they also need to invest in a reliable finisher.

Manchester United are looking to sign the Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Joao Gomes during the summer transfer window.

Man United could use Joao Gomes

Manchester United need more quality and control in the middle of the park, and Gomes could be an excellent option for them for a reasonable fee. He impressed with Wolves despite their relation, and he has the quality to play for a bigger club. He will add control, composure, and physicality in the middle of the park for Manchester United.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are also interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs are willing to pay the £30 million asking price for him. They have the resources to get the deal done, and the demands are quite reasonable for a player of his experience and quality. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact.

Gomes has been hailed as a “wonderful player”.

Gomes is angling for a move

The midfielder will be desperate to sort out his future quickly and join a big club before the new season begins. Manchester United and Liverpool will be able to offer him Champions League football in the upcoming campaign. He will certainly hope that either of the two clubs will come forward with an acceptable offer for him in the coming weeks.

Both teams have struggled in the middle of the park, and they need to sign quality midfielders before the new season begins. Manchester United have already signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, whereas Liverpool are yet to address their problems in the midfield.

Chelsea are hoping to agree on a new contract with Sol Gordon.

Chelsea eyes a new deal for Sol Gordon

Chelsea are determined to keep him at the club and are prepared to offer him a contract extension. He has a contract with Chelsea until 2027. The Blues will not want to lose a talented young player like him, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince him to commit his long-term future to the club.

Chelsea are looking to build a team for the future and need to keep the club’s best young players. Gordon has the potential to develop into an important first-team player for them with the right guidance. They will probably have to offer him assurance about gametime to convince him to sign a new deal. He is at a stage in his career where he needs first-team exposure to improve further.

Gordon could be a future asset

Chelsea have done well to groom young players in the past, and they could play a role in his development as well. It remains to be seen whether Xabi Alonso is prepared to give him the exposure he needs right now.

Meanwhile, Arsenal, Leeds and Everton are keeping tabs on his situation, and it would not be a surprise if they decided to in the coming weeks. If Chelsea failed to secure an agreement with the player, the 18-year-old could prove to be a solid future investment for all three clubs.

Djed Spence could be a handy option

Liverpool could use more quality in the full-back department, and Spence would be the ideal acquisition. He has shown his quality with Tottenham, and he is impressing in the World Cup with the England national team as well.

He is versatile enough to operate on either flank, and he could be the ideal utility man for Liverpool. Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley struggled with injuries last season, and Liverpool needs more depth in the full-back areas.

Andrew Robertson has also left the club, and Spence will be able to provide cover and quality in both positions. It will be interesting to see if he’s willing to join Liverpool. He might not be a guaranteed starter for them. It would be a similar situation for him, where he would be a squad player.

Can the Reds provide Spence ample game time?

He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and the 25-year-old is certainly good enough to start for Premier League teams. Perhaps moving to Newcastle or Inter Milan would be ideal for him if they are prepared to provide him with guaranteed first team action. Spence has also been linked with Everton.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool follows up on their interest with an official offer to get the deal done. They will have to promise him gametime in order to convince the player to join.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are prepared to sanction his departure for the right price. They have spent heavily in the transfer window so far, and they still need to add a couple of quality attackers before the window closes.

He has a contract with Arsenal until 2027, and it would be ideal for the Premier League champions to cash in on him. They will not want to lose him for free next year. Also, he is not a guaranteed starter for them, and it makes no sense for Arsenal to keep him. They should look to recoup as much as possible from his departure and bring an upgrade.

Arsenal have been linked with players like Bruno Guimaraes in recent weeks.

Spurs want to sign Andreas Schjelderup

According to reports from Portugal via Sport Witness, the player will cost €50 million. Tottenham are keen on securing his signature, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay the asking price.

They need more quality on the flanks, and the Norwegian International will add peace, flair, and unpredictability. He can create opportunities and score goals. He scored an outstanding solo goal against England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

However, the asking price is quite high, and it could complicate any potential move. Tottenham need to improve multiple areas of the squad, and they have already invested significantly in the midfield. €50 million is considered too expensive for an unproven talent.

Other clubs are also interested in the 22-year-old, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. His performance in the World Cup has seen his value skyrocket, and Benfica are unwilling to yield.

Unless the player decides to force an exit, the Portuguese outfit will hold all the cards in the transfer battle.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Napoli attacking midfielder Antonio Vergara.

The 23-year-old impressed with his cameos last season, and Spurs have expressed interest in signing him. According to a report from Area Napoli, multiple other Italian clubs are keeping tabs on his situation.

However, Napoli is unwilling to let him leave, and they are already holding talks with his representatives regarding a contract renewal. It will be interesting to see if Spurs follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player.

They could use more depth in the final third, and Vergara would be the ideal utility man for them. He can operate centrally as well as on the flanks. He could add technical ability, creativity, and flair to the team.

The 23-year-old was not a guaranteed starter for Napoli last season, and if Tottenham can provide him with the necessary assurances, he could be drawn to the idea of moving to England. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Tottenham have been very active in the market this summer, and they have already spent a substantial amount of money to improve the squad. However, they must add more quality in the final third before the window closes.

Apart from creativity, they also need a reliable goal scorer who can find the back of the net regularly.

They finished 17th in the league table last season, and it is clear that the club hierarchy does not want to be in that position once again. They are spending heavily so that they can bounce back strongly. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham and Roberto De Zerbi convince the 23-year-old Italian to join the club this summer.

Chelsea are looking to improve their attacking unit with the signing of Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup.

The talented young attacker has performed well in the Portuguese league and impressed at the World Cup with Norway. Naturally, top clubs are monitoring his situation, and Chelsea are one of the interested parties. However, the asking price could complicate any potential move. He has a €100 million release clause in his contract, and Benfica are unwilling to sell him for cheap.

The Portuguese outfit is not demanding his release clause to be paid in full, but they want around €40 million for his signature. That is still a high asking price for a young player who is still largely unproven at the highest level.

Chelsea Chronicle reports: “Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham are all closely monitoring his development and situation.

“Sources close to Chelsea indicate that the London club could look into the player’s situation, but they will not rush into a €40 million move. Benfica, on the other hand, are absolutely unwilling to sell Schjelderup for anything less than €40 million. Furthermore, the player’s contract includes a €100 million release clause, which significantly limits the bargaining power of interested clubs.”

It will be interesting to see if Benfica is willing to be more reasonable with their demands. Chelsea needs more quality on the flanks. Alejandro Garnacho has been linked with a move away after a disappointing campaign, and they need to replace him.

The Norwegian could be ideal for them. He is a left-sided winger, but he is versatile enough to operate on either flank. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well.

The player recently scored a goal against England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. He has 15 goals and 15 assists in 86 appearances for Benfica.

It is no surprise that he has been linked with Barcelona. The Spanish champions need more quality in wide areas, and the Tottenham defender could be an exceptional acquisition for them.

Manchester United are closing in on the capture of Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.

The 29-year-old Belgian International has been outstanding for the West Midlands club, and he played a key role in their UEFA Europa League win last season. He also helped them secure Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign.

Man United close in on Youri Tielemans

Manchester United needed more control and creativity in the middle of the park, and it is no surprise that they have decided to sign the Belgian International by activating his €41 million release clause. He was quite impressive for his country in the World Cup as well, helping them reach the quarter-finals.

The opportunity to play for the Red Devils will be exciting for the Belgian international. It will be a step up for him, and he can showcase his qualities at the highest level. Meanwhile, Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg has confirmed that the player will undergo his medical ‘later this week’, and all details have been agreed between the two clubs.

Tielemans to join up with Santos

Manchester United have also signed Andrey Santos from Chelsea. It is clear that they are looking to significantly improve the midfield. Two quality central midfielders will certainly help them next season. However, they also need to invest in a specialist defensive midfielder. They look quite mediocre at the back, and someone who can break up the opposition attack and protect the defensive unit would be ideal.

Casemiro has left the club, and they need to replace them properly. It will be interesting to see who they end up with. In addition to the departure of Brazilian, Manuel Ugarte has been hugely underwhelming and is currently sidelined with a serious long-term injury.

Bruno Guimaraes has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal this summer.

The Gunners are hoping to add more creativity, composure, and technical ability in the middle of the park, and the Brazilian would be an exceptional acquisition.

He has been one of the best central midfielders in the league in recent seasons. He is at the peak of his career, and there have been rumours that he wants to join Arsenal.

Bruno Guimaraes move seems complicated

Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that Newcastle promised they would let Guimaraes leave for the right price, but Luke Edwards from the Telegraph has now spoken to Mehrdad Ghodoussi and Amanda Staveley, who have confirmed that no such promises have been made to the player or his representatives. This will certainly complicate any potential move for Arsenal. It seems that Newcastle are prepared to dig their heels in, and they want to keep the midfielder.

It will be interesting to see if Guimaraes decides to force an exit in the coming weeks. The opportunity to play for Arsenal will be hard to turn down for him.

Arsenal move could tempt Guimaraes

The Premier League champions could provide him with the platform to compete at the highest level and win major trophies. He is at the peak of his career, and he has clearly outgrown Newcastle. He needs to compete at a higher level, and joining one of the world’s biggest teams would be ideal.

Newcastle have lost multiple players in recent transfer windows, and losing the Brazilian would be another devastating blow. He is one of the best players at the club. They have recently sanctioned Sandro Tonali’s departure, and losing two of their best midfielders in one window could prove catastrophic for them.

Manchester United were heavily linked with a move for Ederson from Atalanta in recent weeks.

Man United to return for Ederson?

According to Sky Sports, Manchester United could still return for the Brazilian midfielder towards the end of the window, depending on how the transfer window develops for them.

Meanwhile, the 27-year-old midfielder will be thoroughly disappointed with the situation. The report claims that Manchester United are sympathetic to the player and his family after the move collapsed at the very end. Manchester United agreed a £38 million deal with the Italian club, and personal terms were also agreed with the player.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have already signed Andrey Santos from Chelsea, and they are set to wrap up the signing of Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to return for the Brazilian in the coming weeks.

Man United need a defensive midfielder instead of Ederson

They should invest in a quality defensive midfielder instead. It is no secret that they need more quality in the middle of the park, and the likes of Santos and Tielemans will add control, composure, and technical ability there. Now, they need someone who can break up the opposition attack and protect the back four.

While there is no doubt that Ederson is a quality player and he can help out at both ends of the pitch, he is not a specialist defensive midfielder. It remains to be seen what Manchester United decide over the next few weeks.

Chelsea are currently working to sign the Rayo Vallecano defender Pep Chavarria.

The 28-year-old left back has impressed in La Liga, and he is a specific request from Xabi Alonso. Chelsea sanctioned Marc Cucurella’s departure to Real Madrid, and they need to replace him properly.

Pep Chavarria to replace Cucurella

The 28-year-old could be the ideal alternative to the Spanish international. According to a report from MARCA, Chelsea are currently locked in negotiations with the Spanish club, and they are set to submit an offer of around €25 million. They have already had an offer of around €15 million for the defender rejected.

The player has already agreed personal terms with Chelsea, and he is dreaming of the Premier League. The opportunity for one of the best clubs in the world will be exciting for him. He will certainly hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement quickly so that he can focus on his football and sort out his long-term future.

Chelsea closing in on Chavarria?

Chelsea have now accelerated their effort to wrap up the move, and it remains to be seen whether Rayo Vallecano is prepared to accept the improved offer when it is presented. They will not want to hold onto the defender against his wishes. It is clear that he is distracted after the interest from Chelsea, and he will look to secure a summer exit soon.

It would be ideal for the two clubs to find common ground and get the deal across the line. Rayo Vallecano will need to replace a key player like Chavarria, and they need time in the market. They will not want to sell the defender lead on in the window, with little time to properly replace him.

Harvey Elliott was on loan at Aston Villa last season, and the West Midlands club had an option to sign him permanently.

However, he did not play regularly for them, and they have decided to send him back to his parent club. There has been speculation surrounding his future at Liverpool, but newly appointed manager Andoni Iraola has now thrown him a major lifeline.

The 23-year-old played just 277 minutes for Villa last term.

Harvey Elliott is set for a fresh start

The Spanish manager has revealed that Elliott will be given a chance to prove himself during pre-season, and Liverpool could use a player like him. It remains to be seen whether Elliott can grab the opportunity and showcase his quality during pre-season.

Iraola said (h/t This is Anfield): “I’ve seen him with this eagerness to show himself, to get himself ready again. He will have a chance during the pre-season; we will need him.”

Eliott could help Liverpool

He is a versatile player who can slot into multiple attacking roles. He could help Liverpool create opportunities in the final third and score goals as well. He is still relatively young with plenty of room for improvement. He could grow into a quality player for Liverpool with the right guidance.

The manager’s comments will be a huge boost for the player and motivate him to do well in the coming weeks. Elliott has also been linked with Leeds United.

Liverpool needed creativity and ingenuity in the final third last season, and someone like Elliott could be a very handy option for them. He has previously showcased his qualities with the Liverpool first team, creating and scoring important chances. There is no reason why he cannot get his career back on track and establish himself as a useful player for Iraola.

“There is interest..”: Xabi Alonso sends clear message as Chelsea exit gathers pace

Alejandro Garnacho has been linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer.

Multiple clubs have been linked with the move for the Argentine attacker, and Chelsea are open to letting him leave. Manager Xabi Alonso has now confirmed interest in the player, and he’s hoping a resolution will be reached that suits all parties.

Alonso said (h/t Fabrizio Romano): “There is interest in him from other clubs. Hopefully it finishes in the best possible way for everyone”.

Garnacho has been underwhelming since joining Chelsea from Manchester United, and the Blues should look to sanction his departure before the window closes. They need an upgrade on him if they want to compete at the highest level. They looked quite mediocre in the attack last season, and they need more creativity and goals from the wide areas.

Garnacho scored eight goals and picked up four assists in 43 matches last season.

While there is no doubt that Garnacho is a talented player with a bright future, he has not performed consistently since joining the London club. It would be ideal for Chelsea to seek an upgrade.

It remains to be seen whether any club will come forward and offer him an exit route. He has been linked with clubs from Spain and Italy. He has the technical attributes to compete at a high level, and he is still very young.

There is plenty of room for improvement, and he could develop into a quality player with the right guidance. However, he needs to work on his consistency and end product. Joining the right team could bring out the best in him. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
