Arsenal are reportedly preparing to hijack Manchester United's move for Crysencio Summerville, according to reports from France relayed by TEAMtalk. The Dutch winger is in high demand following West Ham's relegation from the Premier League and his impressive World Cup performances, scoring in consecutive games against Japan and Sweden. United had been leading the race, but Arsenal now pose a serious challenge, with PSG, Tottenham, and Aston Villa also interested.
West Ham Target Free Agent Webster
West Ham are exploring a move for free agent Adam Webster, as reported by the Sun. The 31-year-old former Brighton defender left the Seagulls after his contract expired this summer. With West Ham's relegation prompting several players to seek exits, including Jean-Clair Todibo and Konstantinos Mavropanos, Webster could fill a defensive gap at the London Stadium.
PSG Enter Diomande Race
Paris Saint-Germain have joined the race for £100m-rated Yan Diomande, competing with Liverpool for his signature, according to Bild. Liverpool had a £86m bid rejected for the winger on Thursday, and PSG's financial power and status as European Champions could sway the deal. Diomande is seen as a potential replacement for Mo Salah at Liverpool, while PSG may need reinforcements if Bradley Barcola moves to Arsenal.
Bergvall Wants Tottenham Departure
Standard Sport understands that Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall is seeking a new challenge and wants a transfer away from the club. The Swede has informed manager Roberto De Zerbi of his desire for a fresh start, attracting interest from Premier League and European clubs.
Man Utd and Liverpool Target Nmecha
Both Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, TEAMtalk reports. The 25-year-old, currently on World Cup duty with Germany, scored in their 7-1 win over Curacao. Dortmund are seeking around £43m for the player.
Leeds Submit £20m Bid for Charles
Leeds have made a £20m bid for Southampton midfielder Shea Charles, according to Simon Jones. The 22-year-old Northern Ireland international made 31 appearances for Southampton this season and scored an extra-time winner in the play-off semifinals. Leeds boss Daniel Farke aims to build on his team's 14th-placed Premier League finish.
Liverpool Reject £22m Jones Bid
Liverpool have turned down a £21.7m verbal offer from Inter Milan for midfielder Curtis Jones, as reported by The Athletic. The bid is well below Liverpool's valuation of around £35m for the 25-year-old, who has one year left on his contract.
Man Utd Issue Sesko Stance
Manchester United insist that Benjamin Sesko is not for sale, despite interest from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, according to Teamtalk. Manager Michael Carrick sees the 23-year-old as a key part of his side for the upcoming season.
Arsenal Handed Boost for £70m Transfer
Arsenal have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, as the 18-year-old will not be affected by the Africa Cup of Nations next season. Bouaddi, who impressed on his World Cup debut for Morocco, is valued at around £70m by Lille. Arsenal have held initial talks, and his availability all season would benefit Mikel Arteta's midfield plans.
