Man Utd handed Aurelien Tchouameni boost

Manchester United have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Aurelien Tchouameni.

The Red Devils continue to be linked with a number of midfield targets as they eye a third addition in that area following the recent arrivals of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.

Manu Kone, Carlos Baleba, Sander Berge, Danilo and Tyler Adams are all reported to be on United’s radar, though it seems they have pulled out of the race for Chelsea and Arsenal target Alex Scott.

They continue to look at Real Madrid amid ongoing links to Eduardo Camavinga and Tchouameni, the latter of whom The Sun claim that returning Los Blancos boss Jose Mourinho would be willing to sell this summer for around £68m as he looks to help fund a blockbuster £85m swoop for Manchester City and Spain star Rodri.

It’s been a busy week on the transfer front for Arsenal, with Christos Tzolis joining the club officially yesterday.

The Greek international winger, 24, has signed a five-year contract in north London after passing a medical and finalising his £34m switch from Belgian champions Club Brugge.

Tzolis arrives as a replacement for Leandro Trossard, who sealed a £15.3m move to Besiktas last week.

The former Norwich man is Arsenal’s third signing of the summer window so far, following the arrival of free agent goalkeeper Illan Meslier and the permanent deal for loanee Piero Hincapie.

Arsenal are poised to launch a £70million bid for Bruno Guimaraes.

The Gunners appear to have made Newcastle’s influential captain their new top transfer priority for the summer after missing out on Morgan Rogers to Chelsea.

Arsenal are now clearly ramping up their pursuit of Guimaraes after beginning club-to-club talks, with BBC Sport reporting that a £70m offer is imminent after an acceleration in negotiations over recent days.

It remains to be seen if Newcastle will accept that approach as they remain firm on their valuation, but there has been a boost for Arsenal in the agreeing of personal terms with the Brazil international.

Nico Schira claims that Manchester United have shown interest in signing Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. The 23-year-old is reportedly no longer considered untouchable at Real Madrid, opening the door to a possible move. Camavinga also missed out on a place in France's squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Roma have enquired about the availability of Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi, Foot Mercato reports.

The Italian club have contacted Chelsea and also approached the 28-year-old Frenchman's camp over a potential move. Chelsea are demanding around £17million to sanction Disasi's departure.

Liverpool have made an initial approach to Monaco for Maghnes Akliouche, Sky Sports reports. The Reds have checked on the availability of the 24-year-old France winger. PSG are also pushing to sign him, but Monaco have rejected their offers so far. Their latest bid was around £34million.

Arsenal to consider Odegaard sale

Arsenal are prepared to consider offers for captain Martin Odegaard this summer and are not completely ruling out a sale, Teamtalk claims. There is significant interest in the 27-year-old, although no club has yet been willing to meet Arsenal's asking price. A move this summer is still considered unlikely, but the club's plans to reinforce their midfield could influence Odegaard's long-term future.
