Transfer news LIVE! Chelsea agree fee for Dewsbury-Hall medical; Arsenal latest (2024)

Joan Garcia may make a move to Arsenal in the near future.

The goalkeeper is highly-rated in Spain after starring for Espanyol and has been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham among other clubs.

But journalist Gerard Romero has hinted at him joining Arsenal, claiming he was a “future goalkeeper” of the Gunners during a recent appearance on a Twitch stream.

Marseille have joined the race to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United, according to reports this morning.

David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that initial talks have been held between the clubs over the former England striker, who spent last season on loan in LaLiga with Getafe.

He has been linked with a permanent move to Spain as well as clubs in Portugal, Germany and Italy.

It is claimed that Greenwood would have a preference to join French giants Marseille, who now have ex-Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi working as their new head coach.

Aaron Anselmino might not join Chelsea straightaway this summer it seems.

Journalist Uriel Iugt reports that Boca Juniors actually want the player to remain with them on loan until at least January.

However, it is claimed that Chelsea initially want to send him on loan to sister club Strasbourg in France under the BlueCo ownership banner, where he would continue to develop in Ligue 1 under head coach Patrick Vieira.

A fresh update now on Chelsea’s reported pursuit of Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino.

It was reported last week that the Blues had opened talks with the Argentine giants over a deal for their highly-rated teenage centre-back.

Now transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports that Chelsea have been given the “green light” by Anselmino over personal terms.

He adds the two clubs are still in talks over a price, with Chelsea looking to knock down a clause that allows him to depart La Bombonera for a fee in excess of £19m.

West Ham have reignited their interest in signing Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, it is claimed.

The Hammers were previously chasing a deal for the ex-Crystal Palace right-back, who has been at Old Trafford since 2019 and has only a year left to run on his current contract after a 12-month extension option was triggered by the club in January.

Now The Times report that West Ham are back in for Wan-Bissaka as they bid to provide competition for current first-choice right-back Vladimir Coufal, with Ben Johnson expected to join newly-promoted Ipswich on a free transfer imminently.

Manchester United now know the fee it will take to land Manuel Ugarte from PSG this summer.

The Uruguay midfielder has emerged as a key transfer target for the Red Devils, just one year after almost joining Chelsea from Sporting Lisbon before heading to Paris instead.

United are believed to have seen an opening bid worth around £25m for Ugarte dismissed earlier this week.

The Daily Telegraph claim that PSG are looking for a fee of around £50m as they look to recoup most of what they spent on the 23-year-old last summer.

Chelsea and Liverpool face a real battle to try and sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this summer.

The 23-year-old winger is currently one of European football’s hottest properties and last night helped Georgia to a famous 2-0 win over fancied Portugal that sent them into the last 16 of Euro 2024, where they will face Spain in Cologne on Sunday night.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Manchester City are among just some of the clubs to be linked so far with Kvaratskhelia, whom Napoli insist will not be going anywhere in this transfer window.

“There are no problems with Kvara because we have a contract,” club president Aurelio De Laurentiis said.

“We’ll make an offer for a new deal, so I see no problems for him. That being said, somebody can even offer contracts to the players without the club’s authorisation.”

New manager Antonio Conte added: “He’ll stay. I feel no doubts. I repeat, there is no need to have them. I have been very categorical about this.

“I wouldn’t even want this refrain to happen again in the future. The president gave this wonderful news.

“Kvaratskhelia is the type of player who there are fewer and fewer with these characteristics, which is why it’s not a whim to want to keep Kvara, I consider him a really strong player.”

It is apparently not just Alexander Isak who is now firmly on Chelsea’s transfer radar, with reports claiming they have also made a move for Nottingham Forest defender Murillo.

Despite signing Tosin Adarabioyo after his Fulham contract expired and pursuing Aaron Anselmino at Boca Juniors, it seems the Blues are after yet more centre-back options after the recent departure of veteran leader Thiago Silva to Fluminense.

UOL in Brazil claim that Chelsea have begun talks over Silva’s compatriot Murillo, with two players potentially set to head in the opposite direction.

It is thought that Forest could demand £50m for a player they only signed for £15m from Corinthians last summer, with Atletico Madrid also rumoured to be keen on a deal.

Manchester United could face a real fight to keep hold of Alejandro Garnacho this summer.

Though the club are willing to listen to offers for many of their first-team squad amid an expected summer overhaul at Old Trafford, it was thought the Argentine winger was essentially one of those off limits.

However, Alkass TV Sports claims that there is strong Saudi Arabian interest now developing in Garnacho, with Al-Hilal said to be pondering a massive bid for his services.

Tottenham have reportedly seen an offer for Jacob Ramsey rejected by Aston Villa.

Champions League-bound Villa are in the process of selling a few academy graduates ahead of the Premier League’s upcoming profit and sustainability rules (PSR) deadline, with Tim Iroegbunam having already joined Everton as Omari Kellyman prepares to head to Chelsea.

Lewis Dobbin and Ian Maatsen have both headed the other way, meanwhile.

Villa are also set to sign Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea as part of a deal to sell Douglas Luiz to Juventus, but it seems that they are not willing to offload fellow midfielder Ramsey yet.

The Times report that Spurs have seen an initial £20m bid for the 23-year-old rebuffed by Villa, who value him at between £40m-£50m.

Tottenham’s offer would have apparently seen Giovani Lo Celso head to Villa Park.
