Arsenal step up Madueke talks

A new update on Noni Madueke to Arsenal this afternoon.

Last night it was reported that the England winger was open to following former Chelsea team-mate Kepa Arrizabalaga to the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Now Fabrizio Romano reports that Arsenal are advancing in talks over personal terms with Madueke, who has not asked to leave Stamford Bridge.

He says there is nothing close yet in terms of a deal between the London rivals.

Gyokeres set for Sporting return

Viktor Gyokeres is facing a rather awkward return to Sporting with his future seemingly no closer to being resolved.

A move away from Portuguese champions this summer has felt inevitable for the 27-year-old - who scored 54 goals across all competitions last season - amid links to both Arsenal and Manchester United.

However, as things currently stand, he is still a Sporting player and a transfer saga has threatened to turn ugly after the club’s president Frederico Varandas rejected reports that Gyokeres had an agreement allowing him to leave for €60m (£51m) plus €10m (£8.6m).

Maksym Taloverov joins Stoke

Maksym Taloverov made quite a name for himself last season after joining Plymouth for a record fee in January.

Taloverov is on the move again, joining Stoke following Plymouth's relegation to League One.

Arsenal get Madueke boost

Arsenal look to have received a huge boost over Noni Madueke after Enzo Maresca revealed any unhappy Chelsea players are free to leave.

According to reports, the Gunners want to sign the England winger from their London rivals this summer and were rumoured to have opened talks earlier in the week.

Whilst Madueke played an important role for the Blues last season, competition in attack has increased following the arrival of Joao Pedro, not to mention the imminent signing of Jamie Gittens, plus rumoured interest in Mohammed Kudus.

Madueke was a substitute in Chelsea’s Club World Cup quarter-final win over Palmeiras, and afterwards Maresca revealed his stance on a possible exit for the 23-year-old.

Man Utd reveal Leon plan

Diego Leon is officially a Manchester United player.

The £7m deal was announced this morning and it would appear that the left-back will not be heading out on loan to gain first-team experience.

Walker reacts to Burnley move

Kyle Walker has spoken about his decision to join Burnley.

The experienced right-back has signed for the Premier League newboys from Manchester City for a reported £5m transfer fee.

This move allows him to be reunited with Burnley boss Scott Parker whom he played alongside at Tottenham over a decade ago.

"I'm delighted to be here," said Walker.

"When I spoke to Scott and heard about his plans for next season, it was an opportunity I jumped at.

“He's done an amazing job here, guiding the Club back to the Premier League with a 100-point haul, and now we're looking forward, together, at being back in the greatest league in the world.

"Burnley had a tremendous campaign last season, built on an incredible defensive record, and I can't wait to come in and add my experience and quality to what looks an exciting squad."

Man Utd confirm Leon signing

Manchester United have finalised the signing of Diego Leon.

The teenager signed a pre-contract agreement with the club in January, but spent the second half of last season at Cerro Porteno.

The 18-year-old joins in a deal that could be worth up to £7m.

DONE DEAL

It’s official, Burnley have completed the signing of Kyle Walker.

Arsenal 'prepare' Gyokeres move

Portuguese publication, O Jogo, have lead with a headline this morning that reads ‘Arsenal prepares decisive attack’.

This is in relation to Viktor Gyokeres amid reports the Gunners are willing to meet Sporting's valuation of the prolific striker.

Palmer praises Estevao

Chelsea star Cole Palmer has said that Estevao Willian has got “amazing quality” as the Brazilian prepares to officially join the club.

The Blues first struck a deal with Palmeiras to sign Estevao last year after agreeing an initial £29m fee that could rise above £50m with add-ons.

In a rather unique scenario, Chelsea’s Club World Cup quarter-final against Palmeiras saw them come up against the teenage Brazilian forward.

On what was his final assignment for his boyhood club, the highly-rated 18-year-old signed off with a brilliant goal early in the second half which cancelled out Palmer’s opener.

Though Estevao ended up on the losing side, he certainly caught the eye of his future teammates, even swapping shirts with Palmer at the final whistle.

Cunha will don the coveted No10 shirt, joining a long line of legendary players such as Wayne Rooney and Bobby Charlton in doing so.

Maresca on Madueke's future

Noni Madueke may be linked with a Chelsea exit this summer, and Enzo Maresca has made it clear that any player not happy at the club is free to leave.

Speaking after the Blues reached the Club World Cup semi-final, the Italian said: “Noni has been very important for us during this season.

“Today, again, he has been important. But my message to the players and to the club is that I want just players that are happy to be with us.

“The ones that are not happy, they are free to go. It's not for Noni, it's for all the players we have.

“But again, Noni has been very good during the season and very good tonight.”

Arsenal set new Gyokeres deadline

Mikel Arteta is said to have imposed a deadline for Arsenal to sign Viktor Gyokeres.

The prolific Sporting star is among the top options to become the Gunners’ new striker next season, along with the likes of Benjamin Sesko at RB Leipzig.

However, progress on a move remains slow and the Daily Mail now claim that Arteta wants his new frontman in place by the time Arsenal fly out to Singapore for their pre-season tour on July 19.

If they can’t get Gyokeres, it seems they will move for either Sesko or Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins instead.

Chelsea in talks over Dibling deal

Chelsea have opened talks over a shock move for Tyler Dibling, reports claim.

The highly-rated midfielder is expected to leave Southampton this summer following their miserable relegation from the Premier League last term, but so far a move has yet to materialise despite rumoured interest from the likes of Tottenham, Manchester United and Newcastle, among others.

Chelsea have been linked before with securing the return of Dibling, who was briefly in their academy as a youngster.

According to FootballTransfers, the Blues have now reopened talks with his agents, though the sort of fee Southampton would be demanding for the 19-year-old is unclear.

Some say they want £55m, others claiming they are demanding as much as £100m.

Arsenal get huge Rodrygo boost

Arsenal look like they will have the chance to sign Rodrygo this summer.

The Brazilian is of major interest to Mikel Arteta, who is looking to add a new top-level winger to his squad in the weeks ahead as well as finally securing a statement striker signing.

A deal for Rodrygo had looked unlikely given his regular role at Madrid and new boss Xabi Alonso’s desire to keep him, but he has barely featured at the ongoing Club World Cup and looks set for showdown talks with Los Blancos after the tournament.

According to GiveMeSport, Real Madrid are now willing to sell Rodrygo and will sanction his exit for a fee of around £77m.

However, it seems that Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also in the race.

Madueke wants Arsenal move

Arsenal look to have received a huge new boost over Noni Madueke.

The Gunners want to sign the England winger from Chelsea this summer and were rumoured to have submitted a first official bid for his services earlier this week.

According to The Guardian, Madueke is open to following former Chelsea team-mate Kepa Arrizabalaga to Arsenal in this transfer window.

They could get a deal done for around £40m, though it is said Chelsea want £50m ideally with interest from other Premier League clubs.

But the Mirror claim that Palace will not consider selling their star man for anything less.

Arsenal given new Nico Williams hope

Arsenal may have been handed a new boost in their pursuit of Nico Williams.

The Athletic Club and Spain star is a dream target to become Mikel Arteta‘s top new winger in north London, though he was said to have agreed a verbal deal to join LaLiga rivals Barcelona this summer.

This could yet open the door for Arsenal, though Bayern Munich have also been heavily linked with Williams.
