Arsenal explore free transfer for Julian Brandt, Tonali still attracting interest despite Newcastle stance, Chelsea set to retain Delap
Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Brandt, with the Germany international, 29, set to become a free agent when his contract expires this summer.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are all monitoring Freiburg midfielder Johan Manzambi, with the highly rated 20-year-old Switzerland international attracting growing interest across the Premier League.
However, Arsenal have cooled their interest in Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, the 25-year-old Italy international who joined the Magpies from AC Milan.
A return to Serie A also appears unlikely for Tonali after Newcastle reportedly placed a £77m (€90m) valuation on the midfielder, a fee that could deter Juventus. Nevertheless, both Manchester United and Manchester City are still believed to be tracking the situation.
Juventus have begun discussions with Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva regarding a potential move when the Portugal international’s contract expires. The 31-year-old is also attracting attention from Galatasaray and Inter Miami.
Brighton are optimistic about securing the signing of Cologne winger Said el Mala this summer, with the 19-year-old German impressing in his debut Bundesliga campaign and also attracting interest from Chelsea.
Chelsea are not planning to sell striker Liam Delap during the upcoming transfer window despite the 23-year-old Englishman managing just one Premier League goal in an injury-disrupted season.
Liverpool are expected to target defensive reinforcements this summer, with Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nnamdi Collins emerging as a potential option. The 22-year-old Germany international is also being monitored by Arsenal.
Barcelona are preparing alternative attacking options in case they are unable to reach an agreement with Manchester United to make Marcus Rashford’s loan move permanent. The 28-year-old England forward is currently on loan at the Spanish club.
Crystal Palace are currently leading the race to sign Millwall winger Femi Azeez. The 24-year-old Englishman has attracted attention from several Premier League sides, including Everton and Brentford.
Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace and Manchester United are all showing interest in Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola. The 43-year-old Spaniard is approaching the end of his contract at the south coast club.
