TRENDING RUMORS
- A fresh offer has been made by Newcastle for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, according to The Athletic. The Magpies are reportedly pushing to win the race for the 22-year-old ahead of Manchester United. The Slovenia international could arrive at St. James' Park as a potential replacement for Liverpool-linked forward Alexander Isak. Florian Plettenberg reports that the proposal is worth a total of €90 million, but Sesko is yet to indicate his final preference -- if Man United respond by matching the Magpies' bid.
- Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze appears likely to stay at the club, reports The Sun. Despite negotiations with Arsenal regarding a deal for the 27-year-old, the Gunners aren't prepared to activate his £68 million release clause. The Eagles are insisting that it must be met, so Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could now begin to look at potential alternatives. Eze contributed to 16 goals in 34 Premier League matches last season.

Dewsbury-Hall is also on the radar of Fulham, but it looks as though they will need to move quickly if they are to make a viable challenge for his signature.
- An agreement has been reached between Botafogo and AFC Bournemouth for goalkeeper Neto, reports The Athletic.
