TRENDING RUMORS

– Arsenal are the latest team to show interest in West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes. The Times reports that the Gunners would be keen to sign the 21-year-old if Christian Nørgaard leaves, while they are open to offers for the former Brentford man. Fernandes has impressed in his 40 appearances for West Ham this season, with Paris Saint-Germain, Atlético Madrid and Manchester United also linked with him despite West Ham wanting a fee of around £84 million.

– Manchester United are one of several teams monitoring Neco Williams’ situation at Nottingham Forest, according to BBC Sport. The Wales international still has three years remaining on his contract at the City Ground, but his displays at both left back and right back have caught the eye. United are joined by Aston Villa, Newcastle and Everton in making enquiries, while Forest are looking to make a new contract offer to the 25-year-old to ward off interest.

– Arsenal face a battle with Liverpool, Newcastle United and Manchester United to sign FC Porto midfielder Victor Froholdt, says The Sun. Froholdt, 20, has a reported release clause worth €85 million and impressed hugely in helping Porto to the Portuguese title with six goals and five assists in 33 league games. The Denmark international is considered one of the top young players in Europe, but has a contract until 2030.

– AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan has emerged as a transfer target for Chelsea again, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Blues are gathering information for a possible offer, having almost signed him last summer before Milan opted against letting him go. If Milan miss out on Champions League football then the France international may push to leave, though Chelsea’s own hopes of qualifying for Europe are also at risk.

– PSG are preparing an offer worth over €100 million to land Julián Álvarez this summer, claims Mundo Deportivo. The Atlético Madrid striker has been heavily linked with a transfer, having bagged 20 goals and nine assists this campaign. Barcelona and Arsenal have emerged as the main candidates for the 26-year-old’s signature, but there have been concerns over the finances involved. PSG’s financial might could give them the upper hand, as they are willing to push their offer above that of their rivals.
