Premier League
- Arsenal were given a huge boost to their hopes of signing Shkodran Mustafi after Sky Sports reported a story of Valencia officials meeting player’s agent and assuring that the player is free to leave the club only if a club meets their quoted price tag. Arsenal are prepared to pay beyond £25million with Arsene Wenger facing a defensive crisis at the club.
- Manchester United are now confident of signing Jose Fonte this summer after Valencia have decided to pay €12million for Marcos Rojo. Last week, Jose Mourinho was told to clear up his squad before he can sign any new players. Rojo and Matteo Darmian are seen surplus to requirements and with Rojo moving to La Liga, Fonte’s transfer to Old Trafford could be completed early next week.
- Arsenal have agreed a £17million deal for signing Deportivo La Coruna striker Lucas Perez, as per reports from Marca. Perez scored 17 goals last season and is seen in the same mode as Jamie Vardy. Gunners are looking to sign a new striker this summer and have already been turned down by Vardy, Lacazette and Icardi. Although Perez is not quite in the same league as the names mentioned but Arsenal will complete Perez’s signing later this weekend.
