Chief Executive Officer Richard Garlick says Arsenal are not actively seeking to sell homegrown talents like Myles Lewis-Skelly or Ethan Nwaneri but that the Premier League champions would "consider" the "right opportunity" for both the players and the club. Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri - both 19 years old - have been linked with summer moves away, including to rival clubs in the Premier League.
Barcelona’s midfield was quite comfortably stacked ahead of the new season, both in terms of experienced campaigners and young talents. In the latter category, Marc Bernal has been seen as one of th...
On Friday, the curtain will lift on the 2026-27 Premier League season as reigning champions Arsenal host newly promoted Coventry City. The Sky Blues, who will play in the top-flight for the first time in 25 years, will take on the challenge of survival alongside Ipswich Town and Hull City. Sunderland and Leeds United proved the Premier League is not a closed shop when they beat the drop last season.
Head coach Craig Bellamy has lost another member of his Wales backroom staff after James Rowberry decided to leave to concentrate on his role as Stoke City assistant manager. Rowberry informed the Football Association of Wales (FAW) earlier this summer of his decision to end his part-time role. The 41-year-old had been combining both coaching positions since joining Stoke, where he is one of two assistants to boss Mark Robins, in January 2025.
Arsenal are on the brink of sealing another transfer (Picture: Getty) Visionhaus/Getty Images) Arsenal are poised to sign Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa after a dramatic breakthrough in transfer talks. The Premier League champions are desperate to make reinforcements at the back with Jurrien Timber and William Saliba set to miss the start of the season through injury. Mikel Arteta has been eager to recruit a defender capable of offering cover at both right-back and centre-half with Konsa emerging as their top target. Arsenal have also explored a move for another England international in Bayer Leverkusen’s Jarell Quansah.

Having already lost Morgan Rogers to Chelsea, Villa were determined to hold onto their defender and were thought to be asking for £60million for the 28-year-old. Arsenal saw an opening offer believed to be worth £30m rejected earlier this month. But The Athletic reports Arsenal are now closing in on a deal after positive talks at ‘ownership level’ to reduce the valuation gap. Arsenal have strengthened in midfield and attack with the signings of Bruno Guimareas and Christos Tzolis. Arsenal closing in on the England star (Picture: Bradley Collyer/PA Wire) Speaking after Sunday’s Community Shield win over Manchester City, Arteta underlined the need to strengthen at the back with key figures still sidelined. Asked whether his focus was now on defensive reinforcements after the arrival of Guimareas, Arteta said: ‘We know there are certain areas that through injuries we are weaker and we need to strengthen.‘We’re trying to do that and we’ve been trying to do that for weeks. Only when the opportunity is right for the club will we do it.’ Arsenal begin the defence of their Premier League title against newly-promoted Coventry City on Friday. Timber still recovering from a groin issue (Picture: Arsenal FC via Getty Images) Arteta will be without half of his first-choice back four with Timber and Saliba still sidelined. Timber has not started a game since March due to a groin injury, undergoing minor surgery last month.

Baleba is currently recovering from an ankle ligament injury (Picture: Getty Images Europe) Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton but an injury will delay his start to life at Old Trafford if the deal goes through. United initially made a move for the Cameroon international last summer but shelved their interest due to Brighton’s huge asking price – thought to be in excess of £100million. He has remained on the club’s radar during their midfield rebuild this summer and has now agreed terms over a five-year deal to take him to Manchester. As a result of his form dipping last season, Brighton’s asking price has dropped considerably with United’s latest offer worth around £60m plus £5m in add-ons.

Should the deal go through, he will become United’s third midfield signing of the summer alongside Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. But an injury suffered in pre-season could see him ruled out until the end of September. Baleba returned for pre-season training in July but picked up an ankle ligament injury that ruled him out of a friendly match against Strasbourg. He subsequently missed the Seagulls’ games against Roma and Bologna. Baleba played against United on the final day of last season (Picture: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) It was reported last month that the injury left him a major doubt for the start of the new Premier League season which gets underway this weekend. Brighton were however hopeful the problem was not a long-term one. How long is Carlos Baleba out injured for? The Daily Mail report Baleba is expected to return to fitness towards the end of September. That timeline could delay any possible United debut until October given the three-week international break which begins on Monday 21 September, ending on Tuesday 6 October. Should that timeline be accurate, Baleba would be set to miss United’s opening five games of the new Premier League season against Hull City, Ipswich Town, Everton, Manchester City and Fulham. He would also miss United’s first match back in the Champions League which will take place on 8, 9, or 10 September. Baleba would also sit out of United’s Carabao Cup third round tie against an opponent to be determined. Baleba could therefore be in line to make his debut at home to Tottenham on 10 October.

Speaking last season, Brighton head coach, Fabian Hurzeler, admitted that United’s failed move to sign Baleba had an impact on the midfielder’s performances. ‘For sure, when a young boy reads there is interest from Manchester United with a big, big offer, it might affect him deep, deep [down],’ Hurzeler said. ‘That’s also part of the development to understand that when you play well, there comes a big offer, there comes a big club who wants to have him. ‘But then to keep pushing, to be humble, stay here in Brighton, and try to make the next step with the team and that’s something we have to keep on working with him and therefore I can’t give you a clear answer if it’s really affected him or not. ‘But for sure, he’s a young boy and we need to understand he’s not a machine that if you click on then he always runs and off then he stops. We need to understand his feelings, his emotions, where he comes from, and that’s our responsibility.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
Former Swansea City forward Lee Trundle believes Zan Vipotnik is worth at least £20m given his clinical touch in front of goal. Slovenia international Vipotnik netted 23 league goals to end the 2025-26 campaign as the Championship's top scorer. The Swans recently rejected a bid worth in the region of £10m from Premier League side Hull City for the 24-year-old forward.
