Transfer news live: Mbeumo’s decision, Arsenal battle for Gyokeres, Everton sign Walker, Chelsea open winger talks – UK Times

Viktor Gyokeres’s future remains up in the air and now there is a new candidate to sign the Swede – Juventus.

The Mirror reports that Juve have already proposed an £11m-per-year contract for Gyokeres to sign up the striker, as they try to edge out Arsenal and Man United for the 27-year-old, who has been prolific in Portugal.

Arsenal are the only club known to have put forward a solid offer so far, but their proposal for a deal thought to be worth around £58m was rejected.

We start with Bryan Mbeumo and the news that he has made a decision to join Manchester United over Tottenham Hotspur.

That’s according to Sky Sports, who reports that Mbeumo would prefer a move to Old Trafford despite Spurs signing his former manager Thomas Frank, and despite Frank’s side having Champions League football next season.

But Mbeumo will still need United to meet Brentford’s valuation. Their first offer, of £45m + £10m add-ons, was swiftly rejected as the west London club seek a package worth more than £60m.
