Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers has emerged as a summer transfer target for Arsenal.
According to The Times, the Gunners would have to offer a “significant fee” to prize Rogers away from Villa Park.
The playmaker only joined Villa in 2023 for £15million from Middlesbrough and extended his contract until 2030 last November.
But missing out on the Champions League could see players moved away this summer as the Villans are at serious risk from PSR rules, according to research undertaken by The Athletic.
The club have lost £206.2m in the past two seasons, the highest deficit in the Premier League in that time.
Research from the outlet suggests project Villa can only lose £15m in 2024-25 and remain in line with Prem rules.
As a result, they may be forced to listen to offers for a number of stars this summer.
Manchester United are ready to win the race for Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres.
United recently revealed total operating expenses have dropped by £41.6million to £162.1m in the latest quarterly club accounts after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s brutal cost cutting.
That is despite the cash spent on the Glazers’ debt spiralling to a staggering £1.2billion.
Man Utd’s gradual U-turn in club finances means they are ready to pip Arsenal to land Gyokeres.
The striker has an £85m release clause but it is understood that the Portuguese giants would accept a fee closer to £60m this summer.
United boss Ruben Amorim is now ready to raid his former club after the boost in their accounts.
Ange Postecoglou was sacked by Tottenham with Brentford boss Thomas Frank the frontrunner to take over.
Spurs areexpected to make a decision on Postecoglou's successor next weekbut there is yet to be any contact withthe Bees.
Frank poses as the favourite but there are other candidates, such as Fulham's Marco Silva and Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner.
Firing Postecoglou and hiring the Danish tactician could prove a costly business, with the former’s compensation in the millions and the latter’s release clause believed to be around £10million.
The Aussie head coach also walks away with £2m in bonus for landing the Europa League - the club’s first trophy since theLeague Cupin 2008.
Inter Milan are amongst the clubs looking at signing Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United this summer.
Hojlund has struggled to find form since his arrival at Old Trafford and looks set for the exit doors in the coming month.
Fabrizio Romano has reiterated that Champions League finalists Inter remain keen on the 22-year-old, despite the exit of boss Simone Inzaghi this week.
Hojlund managed four goals in 32 Premier League appearances this season.
Tottenham praised Ange Postecoglou’s contribution but also revealed that a “unanimous” decision was taken within the board to move on.
Spurs insist they have to compete on all fronts after their worst ever Premier League season.
And news regarding Postecoglou’s successor will soon be shared in due course.
Here’s Tottenham’s full statement after Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal:
Ange Postecoglou dismissal statement
Tottenham released a lengthy statement explaining their decision to dismiss manager Ange Postecoglou:
FOLLOWING a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties.
Ange joined us from Celtic in the summer of 2023 and oversaw a period of change on the pitch, returning us to the attacking brand of football that has traditionally been associated with the Club, while writing a new chapter in our history by leading us to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao last month - an achievement that will live with us all forever.
We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw.
However, the Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club’s greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph.
It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision.
We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future - he will always be welcome back at our home.
