Martin Odegaard has been linked with a move away from Arsenal during the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old was not at his best last season, and he scored just one goal in the Premier League. He played nearly 1400 minutes in the league and picked up seven assists as well. His performances were quite mediocre, and he was not a guaranteed starter for the Premier League champions.

Martin Odegaard to leave?

Mick Brown has now claimed that the Norwegian could be shown the door in the summer. Arsenal signed Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace last summer, and he is expected to start as the attacking midfielder more often next season.

“It’s possible (that he could leave). In the early part of last season, the biggest threat that Arsenal had was Odegaard linking up with Saka, and they were doing that very well,” Brown told Football Insider.

“I think he realised that he had to get the ball early to Saka before he gets into that final third and then is out of places to go. Then he got injured, went out of the team, and they couldn’t find the same link of play.

“I used to think he was getting unfair criticism through being injured, but never mind, it’s happened and before it’ll happen again.

“So, from what I hear, he could leave Arsenal. It would not surprise me if he did.”

Odegaard could use a move

Odegaard will not want to sit on the bench at Arsenal, and he should look to move on. He has consistently shown his quality in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he is a top player. There will be no shortage of clubs looking to sign him if he is made available.

Arsenal need more quality in the final third, and investing in a quality winger should be the top priority. Selling the 27-year-old midfielder could bring in funds to further improve the team. They need to invest in a quality striker as well.

It remains to be seen whether they can find a suitable destination for Odegaard in the coming weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign the AS Monaco attacker Maghnes Akliouche during the summer window.

According to Football Insider, they have already expressed interest in signing the 24-year-old French international attacker, and multiple Premier League clubs are keen on him. He has been described as “magic” in the past.

Maghnes Akliouche is a top talent

The attacker scored seven goals last season and picked up 10 assists. He is still relatively young with a lot of room for development. He could prove to be an excellent long-term investment for Tottenham. They need more creativity and a cutting edge in the final third. The French International will create chances for his teammates and can score goals as well.

His numbers could improve when he plays on a better team alongside top-quality attackers. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can convince Monaco to sell the player.

The 24-year-old is a key player for the French outfit, and signing him will not be easy. He’s likely to cost a premium. Tottenham have been quite active in the market so far, and they have done well to improve the defensive unit. They are now looking to add more quality in the middle of the park and in the attack.

Spurs could use Akliouche

Federico Chiesa told to leave

According to Football Insider, he has been informed that he needs to find a new club. It remains to be seen when he ends up. He has been linked with a return to his homeland in recent times.

Chiesa has played just 318 minutes of first-team football in the Premier League last season. He is a quality player who deserves more opportunities. Despite limited playing time, he scored three goals and picked up three assists for Liverpool last season across all competitions.

At 28, he needs to play every week, and he should look to find a club willing to give him the platform he needs. He has been hailed as “amazing” by Virgil van Dijk. There is no doubt that he could be a quality signing in the right team.

Liverpool has signed Victor Munoz from Osasuna during the summer transfer window, and the Italian is likely to fall further down the pecking order if he stays at the club. They are trying to sign Yan Diomande as well. It would make sense for the Italian to sort out his future quickly and focus on his football.

According to TEAMtalk, they are preparing a sensational offer of around £100 million in order to get the deal done.

Spurs very keen on Sandro Tonali

Roberto De Zerbi is plotting a marquee signing in the summer, and he has identified Tonali as a key target. The 26-year-old has been outstanding for Newcastle since joining the club, and he could make a defining impact at Tottenham. Paul Scholes has previously claimed Tonali is “better than Declan Rice”.

The London club have already had an offer of around £75 million rejected by Newcastle. They are now prepared to return with a fresh offer in order to get the deal done. It would break their existing transfer record, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince Newcastle with the new offer.

Meanwhile, they have already had positive talks with the player’s representatives regarding a move, and the Italian is open to joining the club.

Tonali would transform Spurs

He will add defensive, cover and control to the team. Spurs need to be able to dominate games in the middle of the park if they want to do well next year. They finished 17th in the league table last season, and they will be hoping to get back into the Champions League soon.

They need quality players at their disposal in order to finish in the top four. Tonali is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact.

Even though Newcastle do not want to sell the player, an offer of around £100 million would be very difficult for them to turn down, especially when the player is keen on the move.

The 33-year-old has been a key player for Sunderland, and he has worked with Xabi Alonso in the past. He was a key player for Alonso during their time together at Bayer Leverkusen, and the newly appointed Chelsea manager is looking to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea needs more experience and leadership in the team, and the Switzerland International could be a very useful acquisition. Xhaka has been hailed as a “phenomenal” player in the past.

He has a contract with Sunderland until 2028, and they are under no pressure to sell him. Chelsea will need to submit a lucrative proposal in order to get the deal done.

The fact that the player wants to join them will certainly be an advantage for Chelsea. It remains to be seen whether the player is willing to push for an exit.

Sunderland did quite well after promotion last season, and they have secured European football for the upcoming campaign. They need to improve the team and hold onto their best players. Losing Xhaka would be devastating for them.

The 24‑year‑old forward has informed the club of his desire to seek a new challenge, sparking interest from several of Europe’s top sides.

Monaco set asking price for Folarin Balogun

Sources have informed CaughtOffside that Monaco are demanding around €50–55m for Balogun, a figure that highlights the sharp rise in his value since his €30m move from Arsenal in 2023. With his contract running until 2028, the Ligue 1 club are open to a sale but only if their valuation is met.

Borussia Dortmund are considering him as a replacement for Serhou Guirassy, whose expected departure could both free up funds and create a starting role for Balogun. Juventus are also exploring the possibility, despite financial constraints, with potential squad sales paving the way. The chance to link up with his USMNT teammate Weston McKennie adds further appeal.

Chelsea eye Balogun move

In England, Newcastle United and Chelsea are monitoring developments. Newcastle are searching for a reliable striker after last summer’s spending failed to deliver results, while Chelsea views Balogun as an intriguing option thanks to his potential and American ties, despite already having a crowded forward line. Barcelona have also been linked, reportedly considering him as a long‑term successor to Robert Lewandowski.

Balogun impressed last season in France, scoring 19 goals and providing 5 assists. For the United States, he has 29 caps and 11 goals. His current market value is listed at €40m, but Monaco’s asking price sits well above that.

With Balogun’s intention to leave now clear and major clubs circling, the coming weeks could see his future resolved, potentially marking the start of a new chapter in his career.

He has clearly outgrown Newcastle, and it would be ideal for him to join a team with more quality where he can fight for trophies. Even though Tottenham finished 17th in the league table last season, they have quality players at their disposal and have brought in a top manager like De Zerbi.

They could bounce back strongly next year and fight for trophies. With a few intelligent additions, there is no reason why they cannot push for Champions League qualification once again.

Regardless of what the football agent has claimed, it is extremely unlikely that Liverpool will sanction his departure any time soon. Perhaps Lavelle made the comments because of his contract situation and the fact that he could be on his way out of Liverpool next summer. However, any exit this summer is simply out of the question.

Christian Norgaard has struggled for regular opportunities at Arsenal since joining the club, and he might need to leave in order to play more often.

According to Sports Boom, Crystal Palace is prepared to provide him with an exit route. The player is surplus to requirements at Arsenal, and they are unlikely to stand in his way.

The midfielder will look to get his career back on track with regular opportunities, and joining the Eagles would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can finalise a deal.

Crystal Palace need more quality in the middle of the park, and the 32-year-old would be a short-term acquisition. Apart from his quality, he is a leader, and he could prove to be an excellent addition to the Crystal Palace dressing room. They will be competing in Europe next season, and Norgaard could prove to be a very handy option for them on and off the pitch.

The opportunity to compete at a high-level will be exciting for the Danish midfielder as well. Meanwhile, he has also been linked with a return to his former club Brondby.

It remains to be seen what the player decides. He has shown his quality consistently in the Premier League with Brentford. There is no doubt that he has the ability to succeed at Crystal Palace as well. Perhaps staying in the Premier League with the Eagles for now would be ideal. He will have plenty of opportunities to return to his homeland and play for his boyhood club in future. He is still at the peak of his career, and he could make a useful contribution at the London club.
