Transfer news live: Arsenal agree terms with Chelsea star Madueke, Blues sign Gittens, Man United capture defender – UK Times

Newcastle have switched their attention to signing Italy centre-back Giorgio Scalvini, who has impressed for Atalanta. The Times report that the 21-year-old defender could be available for £30m.

Brentford, meanwhile, are not budging on their expectations of an improved fee for Bryan Mbeumo. The London club have knocked back two bids from Manchester United for the forward and the London Standard believe they are holding out for a figure of £63m or more.

Chelsea eventually prevailed 2-1 – and set up a last-four clash with another Brazilian side in Fluminense – after Malo Gusto forced a late own goal but the impression made by Estevao was strong.

Crystal Palace will be in Europe next year, even if some doubt remains over exactly which competition they will be playing in. Oliver Glasner’s squad perhaps therefore needs deepening, with an offer in for Ajax left-back Borna Sosa, per The Athletic.

Manchester United were not merely outscored by 15 other clubs in the Premier League last season. They were outscored – as a team, and amassing the combined efforts of the 31 players who took the field in the division for them, plus the two opponents who donated own goals – by a trio who could have formed their new front three, with the club looking to add Bryan Mbeumo to the signing of Matheus Cunha having earlier failed to get Liam Delap.

The Mirrorreport that Mikel Arteta wants any possible deal for Viktor Gyokeres sewn up within the next two weeks. The Sporting striker is seemingly keen on a move, but a breakthrough in negotiations is seemingly yet to be made.

Borussia Dortmund are exploring a deal for Chelsea’s Joshua Acheampong, among a number of clubs monitoring his situation.

The 19-year-old has been seen by the Stamford Bridge hierarchy as a prospect for the future, but the defender is known to want more first-team opportunities in order to progress.

There is now a belief among suitor clubs that Chelsea may be willing to do business for £35m, having previously rejected approaches – including loans.

Enzo Maresca hailed the “perfect night” after his Chelsea side reached the Club World Cup final and witnessed a sparkling display by incoming signing Estevao Willian.

A deflected late Malo Gusto cross saw the Londoners snatch a 2-1 victory in their quarter-final against Palmeiras in Philadelphia.

That came after Cole Palmer’s early opener had been cancelled out by a stunning strike from Estevao, the 18-year-old winger who is to join them after the tournament.

Maresca said: “We’re very happy. It’s a fantastic day. The semi-finals of the Club World Cup – the best clubs in the world – and we are there.

“Probably for us it has been the perfect night because we won and Estevao scored, so it was very good for all of us.”

Crystal Palace are also reported by Sky Sports to be among those interested in Jens Cajuste, who spent last season on loan at Ipswich from Napoli. The midfielder has also been a target for Burnley.

Richarlison is among the players Thomas Frank will be assessing in pre-season before making a decision on their Tottenham futures.

Galatasaray are thought to be among a number of teams who would be interested in signing the Brazilian this summer if the opportunity presents itself.
