Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Premiership!
Manchester United to make Aubameyang bid
Manchester United are planning to make a shock bid for Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their team and with Romelu Lukaku being linked with a move to the Serie A, they might need to sign a forward.
And according to Andy Goldstein, he has an informant at the Old Trafford whose stories have a 75% success ratio. The informant was the one who revealed to him about United’s interest in Anthony Martial a few years back and now, the source claims that the Old Trafford outfit are interested in bringing Arsenal star Aubameyang to the club as he a “finished article.”
“I’ve got someone on the inside, who every so often would tell me transfer gossip,” Goldstein said. “I would say he’s got a quite high hit ratio… 75 to 25 per cent.
“He told me about Anthony Martial, which I tweeted two days before Man United even made their approach.
“He has told me United are interested in Aubameyang. He’s got two years left on his deal, is 30-years-old… he’s the finished article.”
Goldstein brought up the example of Robin Van Persie, who was signed by United when he was almost 29 years of age, as a means to suggest United’s history of signing seasoned campaigners but did mention that the Red Devils’ first offer of £70 million is “crazy” for a striker in his 30s.
“United did something similar with [Robin] van Persie, and Romelu Lukaku is not doing it for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
“I think it’s crazy money for a 30-year-old… £70million first offer.”

Liverpool want Ousmane Dembele'
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Ousmane Dembele by reports from Spain. The Frenchman was signed from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 after Neymar left the Catalans to join PSG.
However, while hopes were high on the Frenchman, he hasn’t been able to replicate his talent on the pitch on a consistent basis. As a result, Barca are open to selling him for the right offer.
According to the report, Jurgen Klopp likes the Frenchman. The German is worried about losing Sadio Mane, who has interesting offers from various clubs – one of which is Real Madrid – and wants to have a replacement signed in case the Senegalese leaves.
Barcelona, however, want nothing less than €105 million for the player. They want to recoup as much as possible for the attacker and Liverpool will have to pay what Barca want.
Jean-Michel Aulas speaks out
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has revealed that the club have received many offers for star player Tanguy Ndombele. However, a decision as not been made yet as he doesn’t think that the offers live up to the billing.
He also revealed that Nabil Fekir wants to move away from the club and that they are open to discuss it. However, he also added that there has been no offer made for the French forward who almost joined Liverpool last year.
“Nothing is decided for Tanguy Ndombele. We have lots of offers but they do not come up to the price we feel is right.”
“His [Fekir] preference is shifting towards a move," Aulas continued. "We are open to discussions.
“I have no news. We are waiting for offers in the coming days but for now, there is nothing."
Arsenal transfer news
The Gunners endured a difficult campaign last season and it could get even worse as Atletico Madrid have been linked with a move for Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka.
The Rojiblancos want a replacement for midfielder Rodri, who has been linked with a move out of the club, and their first choice is Real Madrid star Marcos Llorente – according to Spanish outlet AS.
However, should they fail to bring in the Merengue, they have lined up Xhaka as an alternative.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are interested in making a move for Scotland international Kieran Tierney. They have reportedly upped their pursuit for the Celtic star and are going to make an approach for him.
According to reports, the Gunners will launch an offer for the defenders in the coming weeks. However, it would be hard to convince him to move away since he is happy at Celtic.
Manchester transfer news
Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker has signed a new contract with the Citizens that will keep him at the Etihad until 2024. The Englishman joined the club in 2017 from Tottenham and has been a part of the team that has won two Premier League titles.
Meanwhile, according to Italian outlet Corriere Dello Sport, Manchester United don’t want Mauro Icardi in a swap deal that would see Romelu Lukaku join Inter as they are interested in bringing Milan Skriniar instead.
The Nerazzurri proposed a move for the Belgian in exchange for their Argentine striker. However, the Red Devils have rejected the possibility. The report further claims that both United and City put up €65 million for the defender last summer but Inter refused to budge.
And even now, they hold firm in their decision as they have no desire to sell one of their best talents.
