  • '4 major clubs eye Sancho'

    Chelsea and Juventus are also said to be monitoring the situation.

    And it's claimed Sancho's old club Borussia Dortmund aren't out of the running - despite initial suggestions he'd be too expensive for the Germans.

    Old Trafford manager Erik ten Hag has insisted his issues with the wideman are in the past.

    But Sancho didn't make the cut for the season-opening 1-0 Prem win over Fulham last Friday.

    And he's a decent tip to depart before the end of the transfer window.

  • Woj you believe it!

    Arsenal could launch a shock bid to bring back keeper Wojciech Szczesny, it's claimed.

    Wolves, Southampton and Nottingham Forest are being linked with Gunners' back-up stopper Aaron Ramsdale.

    And that means Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will want an experienced stopper behind first-choice David Raya.

    HITC's Graeme Bailey reckons Szczesny is a genuine contender.

    The Warsaw-born ace had loan spells away from the Emirates with Brentford and Roma before his Juve move.

  • Ugarte 'offered to United'

    Manchester United have reportedly been offered Manuel Ugarte on loan with an option to buy.

    But Paris Saint-Germain’s £51million price tag is still too high for Old Trafford chiefs.

    Ugarte, 23, is Erik ten Hag’s top midfield target after moving to France from Sporting Lisbon last summer.

    The Uruguay ace failed to make an impression under PSG boss Luis Enrique. And he is now wanted by United for a stunning Premier League switch.

    It’s reckoned broad personal terms have been agreed between club and player. But United have so far been unable to strike a deal with PSG.

    The French champs were initially asking for £60m, giving them a £9m profit on a player who has only been with them for one season.

    United backed off after being quoted the eye-watering figure.

    Yet the Mail claims PSG have returned to the table and offered Ugarte to the Red Devils on loan.

  • Gunners 'fully expect' to land Merino

    Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino is still tipped to join Arsenal.

    The Gunners are thought to have seen a bid of more than £25million rejected for the Spain stylist.

    But it's believed negotiations are continuing over the 28-year-old.

    And transfer guru Fabrizio Romano is among those "fully expecting" a deal to be agreed.

  • 'Red Devils eye Chiesa'

    Juventus winger Federico Chiesa is rated a surprise Manchester United target.

    The Italy star, 26, has been mainly linked with Barcelona.

    But it's claimed United have an outside interest in the 26-year-old as Barca have "complications" with registering players.

    Chiesa fought back from a knee injury to notch 10 goals and three assists from 37 games for Juve last term.

    And it's understood he'd prefer a move to Spain.

    But reports this morning suggest the Red Devils might not be out of the running.

  • It's Truffert the top

    Olympic silver medallist Adrien Truffert could hit gold with a switch to a Premier League giant.

    Rennes and Co missed out on the top gong at Paris 2024 when Spain won the men's football final 5-3 after extra time.

    But the 22-year-old is rated a surprise target for Manchester United and Liverpool.

    However, his home-country team still hope to keep their star man

    And although Truffert has been rated at a gettable £12.7million, a summer switch is far from certain.

    The Belgium-born ace was a regular at the Olympics but his only full cap came in 2022.

  • Arsenal ace Aaron made to wait

    Arsenal back-up keeper Aaron Ramsdale might have to wait until the 11th hour to see if Wolves land him.

    Ramsdale's demotion to second-choice at the Emirates was underlined by David Raya confirming his permanent arrival from Brentford in the summer.

    Southampton and Nottingham Forest are reportedly among the 26-year-old's other admirers.

    There was also thought to have been interest from abroad in the five-cap Englishman.

    Wolves have reportedly tabled a loan bid with an option to buy.

    But  talkSPORT’s Alex Crook says "sources close to Ramsdale" have told him "there’s a long way to go" to see if the move will go ahead.
