Transfer news live: Liverpool agree striker deal, Sesko picks Man United, Eze to Arsenal update – UK Times

Arsenal could make their first formal bid for Ebere Eze later this month as they wait for the proposed transfer of Fabio Vieira to Stuttgart.

The Gunners have targeted Eze all summer but rumours persist that Crystal Palace will insist that Arsenal pay the England international’s full release clause, which is around £68m.

The clause is set to expire around 16 August, though Palace could decide to remain firm in their valuation of the player.

Manchester United believe that Benjamin Sesko has chosen to join them after they submitted an official bid for the striker yesterday.

Sesko has been the subject of interest from Newcastle – who made their own bid ahead of United – and both clubs are waiting for the Slovenian’s final decision.

But Man Utd believe that the 22-year-old only wants to join them, reports Fabrizio Romano.

Al Hilal are closing in on a deal for Darwin Nunez after securing a verbal agreement with Liverpool, reports Fabrizio Romano.

The Italian says that the “club to club agreement is done”, with the Saudi club in talks with the Liverpool striker over personal terms.

He does state that the final decision on the move rests with Nunez, however.
