Report: Arsenal very interested in signing 22-goal star linked with Newcastle recently

If the Gunners manage to sign him, it would be a coup for them. The player has recently been linked with Newcastle United and Manchester United. Mikel Arteta has Lacazette and Aubameyang at his disposal but the Frenchman has been linked with an exit this summer. Also, Aubameyang is yet to commit his long-term future to the club.

Dembele will add pace, flair and goals to the side. Although he is a centre forward, h...

Report: Mourinho has personally blocked European giants’ approach for Spurs defender
According to Standard Sport, Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has personally blocked Barcelona’s approach for left-back Ryan Sessegnon.

‘A top, top player’ – Graeme Souness raves about 23-yr-old PL star linked with Tottenham
Popular pundit Graeme Souness has heaped praise on the Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin. The Frenchman has been in inspired form since the restart and he could guide Newcastle to a top-half finish if he continues to perform at this level.

The 23-year-old was recently hailed as the signing of the season by Newcastle manager Steve Bruce.

He said (quotes via Chronicle): “He’s a top, top player. It’s easy to look at him and just talk about his dribbling when he gets one-on-one.&nbs...
‘My information’ – Ornstein shares what he’s heard about Arsenal’s interest in Saint-Maximin
