‘Seriously interested’: Journalist claims Arsenal ready to bid £42m to sign 30-cap international star
Arsenal have not given up hope of signing Martin Odegaard permanently from Real Madrid this summer. The 22-year-old joined the Gunners on loan from Madrid during the January transfer window of 2020-21 and impressed heavily.

Madrid’s new manager Carlo Ancelotti sees him as a part of his plans, but the situation could change if Arsenal make a big-money bid. According to journalist Rudi Galeti, the Gunners are seriously interested in signing the Norwegian international. ‼️‼️ Confirmations coming in: #Arsenal is seriously interested in #Odegaard‘s return 🇳🇴.

Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa chase English international midfielder
Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are exploring the possibility of signing James Ward Prowse from Southampton this summer. According to The Telegraph, both clubs are set to push for the player in the final weeks of the transfer window. Villa targeted Ward-Prowse earlier in the summer before they turned their attention to players to replace Jack Grealish. In Leon Bailey, Danny Ings and Emiliano Buendia, Villa have brought in top-class names to bolster their forward line. However, they are still in the market for more creativity, and Ward-Prowse fits the bill. Spurs want to add a dead-ball specialist to their squad, and Ward-Prowse is one of the best set-piece takers in the Premier League. Alongside Pierre Emile Hojbjerg and Tanguy Ndombele, the 26-year-old would be the ideal midfield partne...
Burnley to compete with Brighton & Hove Albion to sign versatile €20m-rated star – report
Burnley are prepared to go head-to-head with Brighton & Hove Albion in the race to sign Getafe defender Marc Cucurella, The Telegraph reports. Cucurella has been with La Liga outfit for the past two seasons, where he has impressed with four goals and eight assists from 85 appearances. The Spaniard started his career as a left-back, but he was vastly played on the left side of the midfield for Getafe in their preferred 4-4-2 formation. Brighton have been heavily tipped to sign him this summer, but it appears that they could now face competition from Burnley for his services. Sportslens view: Cucurella has played with lesser possession at Getafe, and he has regularly backtracked to help out his left-back with defensive duties. Brighton appear the perfect fit for him with their possession...
West Ham keen on 28-cap international, but face competition from two other PL clubs
West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing the Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso this summer. According to a report from L’Equipe, the 27-year-old midfielder is set to leave the German outfit this summer and he could be available on a bargain. Reports from Bild claimed earlier this week that the World Cup winner could be signed for a fee of around £8.4 million this summer. The Hammers could certainly use more depth and quality in their midfield and Tolisso could prove to be a superb addition alongside the likes of Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek. The 27-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past as well and he could be tempted to join the Londoners this summer. The Hammers can offer him regular first-team football and they will be playing in ...
Celtic keen on 25-yr-old defender who contributed to 9 goals last season
Celtic are keen on signing the Croatian defender Josip Juranovic this summer. According to Sky Sports, the player is likely to cost around £2.5 million this summer. Ange Postecoglou is determined to improve his defensive options before the transfer window closes and he has identified the Croatian as a summer target. Initially, the Scottish giants were keen on signing Aurelio Buta from royal Antwerp but they have moved on to other targets because of the Belgium club’s demands. Juranovic is on the cusp of establishing himself as the first-choice right-back for his country and he could prove to be a bargain for the reported price. The 25-year-old defender can operate as a winger as well and his versatility will be an added bonus for the Hoops. Apart from his defensive qualities, the Croatian ...
Report: Man Utd dealt blow as PSG ‘launch offensive’ for £34m man, player ‘favours’ Ligue 1
Manchester United aren’t short of options in midfield with Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, Fred and Bruno Fernandes, but Foot Mercato say they’ve keen on signing Eduardo Camavinga. The Red Devils’ pursuit of the highly-rated 18-year-old has suffered a blow, however, as Paris Saint-Germain will ‘launch an offensive’ that could be successful. Foot Mercato say Camavinga ‘favours’ the Parisians over United. The French international rose through the youth ranks to Stade Rennais’ first-team in 2018/19 and has gone on to make 83 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals with five assists. Camavinga looks to have a bright future which is why so many clubs are monitoring his progress at Rennes, but it doesn’t appear United will have much luck landing his sign...
