Mikel Arteta would not be drawn on the speculation around Myles Lewis-Skelly's future. The 19-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Gunners in the last couple of days with Manchester United and Chelsea two of the sides reported to have been offered the midfielder. Lewis-Skelly opened the scoring in the 1-1 draw with Como at Emirates Stadium and made a heart gesture towards all sides of the crowd.

Chelsea have been encouraged to consider a surprise move for Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, with former Red Devils midfielder Quinton Fortune believing the Cameroon international could suit their style of football. Onana’s ability with the ball has rarely been questioned, but costly mistakes damaged his reputation at Old Trafford before he spent last season […] The post Chelsea urged to sign Man United flop by ex-midfielder: ‘He can be outstanding’ appeared first on CaughtOffside.
Chelsea have set a Friday deadline for offers of £120m or more from clubs interested in midfielder Enzo Fernandez. The Argentina international, 25, has faced uncertainty over his future at Stamford Bridge since March, when he first raised the possibility of a move to Real Madrid. Around that time, his agent Javier Pastore publicly stated his client was underpaid and wanted to leave following a difficult season in which Chelsea finished 10th in the Premier League and ended the campaign without a trophy after losing the FA Cup final to Manchester City.
New Newcastle United boss Matthias Jaissle (Picture: Getty) Newcastle United have set their sights on signing a new midfielder after selling Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal. The Magpies were reluctant to lose Brazil international Guimaraes, who has developed into a fans’ favourite at St James’ Park over the past four seasons. But Arsenal’s strong push for the 28-year-old and Guimaraes’ desire to leave forced Newcastle to sell for a fee of £75m. Newcastle have welcomed two midfielders to the club, 20-year-old Aladji Bamba and 18-year-old Sean Steur, but neither are seen as direct replacements for Guimaraes.

New boss Matthias Jaissle wants a more experienced midfielder to arrive at St James’ Park, hence why Newcastle recently expressed interest in former Tottenham captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. But BBC Sport say Hojbjerg is ‘only one of a handful of options Newcastle are considering’ for Jaissle, who has replaced Eddie Howe in the hot-seat. Newcastle were forced to sell Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal (Picture: Getty) A separate report from the Daily Mail says Newcastle have made an approach to sign Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba. Jaissle is said to be an ‘admirer’ of Baleba, who was close to joining Manchester United this time last year only to stay on the south coast. United were widely tipped to revive their interest in Baleba this summer but turned to other options, signing Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa. Brighton star and Man Utd target Carlos Baleba (Picture: Getty) Michael Carrick remains open to signing a third new midfielder but the £35m deal for Tielemans is already the best buy of the summer, according to Nicky Butt. ‘I think Youri Tielemans is the best signing of the transfer window,’ Butt said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, sponsored by Midnite. ‘Looking at his fee, his age, his experience – he’s played in the Champions League and World Cups and he’s a great footballer. I think that’s a brilliant signing for Manchester United.’ Asked who he rates as the best signing of the summer transfer window, Butt added: ‘I think it’s Youri Tielemans. ‘If he was up at £70m or £80m I would give you a different answer but you need to look at the value for money. ‘If Manchester United get the right players around him I think he will be the best summer signing.’ Jaissle’s first Premier League game in charge of Newcastle United will be a tricky clash against Liverpool on the opening weekend of the season.

Manchester United have been told to make a move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson as Michael Carrick looks for more competition for Benjamin Sesko.

Aston Villa’s pursuit of Nicolas Jackson is gathering momentum, with the Chelsea striker now understood to be open to reuniting with Unai Emery at Villa Park.

Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso (Picture: Getty) Chelsea have been urged to consider a shock deal to sign ‘outstanding’ goalkeeper Andre Onana from Manchester United. New boss Xabi Alonso has overseen another Chelsea spending spree this summer, with the Blues splashing out over £300m on over ten new signings. Despite the huge spending, Chelsea have resisted the urge to bring a new goalkeeper to Stamford Bridge despite Robert Sanchez’s issues and Filip Jorgensen’s departure. Chelsea were heavily linked with signing a new shot-stopper last summer but appear ready to go into the new Premier League season with Sanchez as Alonso’s No. 1. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. But ex-Manchester United defender Quinton Fortune has suggested Chelsea should enter the race for unwanted Old Trafford goalkeeper Onana. United sent Onana on loan to Trabzonspor last season after signing Senne Lammens, who impressed throughout the campaign. The Red Devils are open to offers for Onana but a sale is proving tricky due to the goalkeeper’s significant wages and his desire to force his way back into the team. Man Utd’s Andre Onana spent last season at Trabzonspor (Picture: Getty) That appears unlikely given Lammens’ development, however, and Fortune believes Onana could emerge as a target for Premier League rivals Chelsea, Newcastle United and Aston Villa. ‘Andre Onana could be an asset to Chelsea, Newcastle United or Aston Villa in the Premier League,’ Fortune told Premier Bet. ‘You can see the quality for playing out from the back as many managers now want with their style of football, he can be your starting point. Manchester United No. 1 Senne Lammens (Picture: Getty) ‘When you’ve got a goalkeeper like Onana who can ping a ball 50, 60 yards to your striker or midfielder and break the lines with his passes, that can make a huge difference, and he’s one of the best at it. ‘He just needs to find his confidence again now because when a goalkeeper makes a mistake unfortunately the whole world sees it. ‘I hope he can get back to his best because when you need a goalkeeper to play out from the back, he can be outstanding.’ Robert Sanchez has struggled at Chelsea (Picture: Getty) Fortune also says he ‘wishes’ Manchester United had beaten Chelsea to a summer deal for Danny Welbeck. Welbeck completed a somewhat surprising move from Brighton to Stamford Bridge last month but Fortune has praised Chelsea’s transfer decision. ‘Xabi Alonso made some good signings for Chelsea this summer but I wish we could have seen Danny Welbeck return to Manchester United,’ the former Premier League winner added. ‘By signing Welbeck and Jordan Henderson he wants to bring in some leaders to set good examples which you need at a club like Chelsea, especially after the experience Alonso had at Real Madrid. ‘He’s looked at the Chelsea dressing room, felt that it was lacking something, and brought in the players with the right personalities and experience to make a difference in Henderson and Welbeck. ‘They are not only top, top players but great professionals too.’ Chelsea face west London rivals Fulham in their Premier League opener on August 24 and will be desperate to improve on last season’s 10th-place finish.
