Arsenal and Barcelona could work on a deal (Pictures: Getty) Mikel Arteta’s trust in Kai Havertz and Arsenal’s pursuit of Victor Osimhen has led Viktor Gyokeres to explore a move away from the Premier League champions. Sweden international Gyokeres endured a mixed first season at the Emirates Stadium, scoring 21 goals in all competitions. While that contribution helped Arsenal win their first Premier League title since 2004 and reach the Champions League final, there were concerns over Gyokeres’ all-round play. As a result Arsenal expressed interest in signing Julian Alvarez earlier in the summer but Atletico Madrid are still determined to keep hold of the Argentine World Cup winner.

The Gunners have also been linked with a fresh move for Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins while last week they reportedly opened talks with Galatasaray over a deal for Victor Osimhen. Like Atletico, Galatasaray have no interest in selling their superstar striker so close to the transfer deadline, but that has not deterred Arsenal who are still interested in striking a deal. Even if a new striker does not arrive in north London before the summer transfer window shuts, Gyokeres faces a battle for game-time with Kai Havertz starting last weekend’s emphatic Community Shield win over Manchester City. Viktor Gyokeres joined Arsenal last summer (Picture: Getty) Havertz missed much of last season through injury, only making 12 Premier League appearances, but looks set for an influential campaign given he has the trust of Arsenal boss Arteta. The prospect of playing back-up to Havertz and possibly even Osimhen has forced Gyokeres to consider his future at Arsenal and the 28-year-old in fact ‘wants to leave’, according to COPE. The Spanish outlet say Gyokeres’ has a ‘desire’ to move on this summer and has ‘offered himself’ to Barcelona as the La Liga champions look for a new striker. Mikel Arteta is interested in signing a new striker (Picture: Getty) Barca have been linked with a move for £64m former Sporting star Gyokeres as they too struggle to persuade Atletico to sell first-choice target Alvarez. It is claimed Gyokeres’ representatives are hoping to land a meeting with Barcelona transfer chief Deco to discuss a move to the Nou Camp. Earlier this week, Gyokeres insisted he was fully focussed on the new Premier League campaign amid speculation linking him with a move away from Arsenal. Victor Osimhen has been linked with a move to Arsenal (Picture: Getty) ‘I’m looking forward a lot, it’s going to be nice to start a league campaign again and to start against my old club,’ Gyokeres told talkSPORT. ‘It’s a great way to start at home so I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t played against them so of course it’s going to be nice to see a few of them that are still there and meet the fans as well. ‘Everyone starts on zero points again, so we have to do it all over again. We don’t have to defend it [the title], we just have to win as many games as we can and then hopefully, we’ll be there in the end again.’ Former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given insists Arsenal should be looking to sign an upgrade on Gyokeres after his ‘okay’ first season at the club. ‘A signing like Bruno Guimaraes can give Arsenal the strength in depth they need to win multiple trophies,’ Given told BoyleSports. ‘But I think they still need to strengthen their options up front with another striker as well. ‘Viktor Gyokeres did okay last season but I still think when you want to win multiple trophies, you need somebody at the very top of the pitch who only needs one chance to score, not three or four chances a game. ‘That’s the level Arsenal are at, at the minute. If there is an opportunity to bring in more quality up front, that’s part of the puzzle too.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Alfred Johansson's side bid to bounce back from that shock exit when they welcome Freiburg to a sold-out Fir Park for their Conference League play-off first leg. "It's disappointing to make that many changes," Halliday told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
A stunning double from the summer signing Camilo Durán helped Celtic open up a commanding lead against Lask in their Champions League playoff. Benjamin Nygren also produced a superb finish to send Martin O’Neill’s side on their way to a 3-0 first-leg win over their Austrian opponents in Glasgow.The visitors had two goals disallowed for offside and created chances throughout in an open encounter but Celtic were clinical as they continued their strong start to the season. Nygren has been at the heart of it with four goals and four assists in as many games and he opened the scoring in the 26th minute. The Swede readjusted his body to volley into the top corner from 20 yards after a weak clearance from Kieran Tierney’s cross. Continue reading...
Viktor Gyokeres scored 14 goals last season to help Arsenal win the Premier League (Photo: Getty) Viktor Gyokeres has heaped praise on one of Arsenal’s summer signings but has dismissed any notion that they are the favourites to win the Premier League. Following their impressive Community Shield win over Manchester City, the Gunners begin their title defence against Championship champions Coventry City on Friday night. In Cardiff, Mikel Arteta handed a debut to £75million summer signing Bruno Guimaraes who performed well, but it was fellow debutant Christos Tzolis who really caught the eye. The Greek winger provided two assists, carrying over his good form from pre-season and from Club Brugge, where he recorded 22 goals and 29 assists last season. Exclusive Premier League previews Get ahead of the start of the season with our weekly football newsletter. Sign up now for free. No player in Europe set up more goals last season, prompting Arteta to splash £34m on the former Norwich star, and Gyokeres reports that Tzolis is settling in nicely at the Emirates. ‘He’s a top guy. He’s a very nice guy outside and of course a very good player on the pitch,’ the striker told talkSPORT. ‘He contributes a lot and he’s very good in his decision making. In the final third, he makes good decisions there and managed to get a lot of goal contributions. Christos Tzolis got two assists on his Arsenal debut in the Community Shield (Photo: Getty) ‘That’s what every team needs and of course everyone that plays in our team wants to do that when they’re on the pitch and if he does that, it’s only good.’ With nearly all their main rivals changing managers and undergoing rebuilds this summer, Arsenal have been installed as the clear and early favourites to retain their title in 2026/27. But Gyokeres does not believe his team have gone from ‘the hunters to the hunted’, and insists anything can happen this season: ‘Everyone starts on zero points. Arsenal will start the season against Coventry – Gyokeres’ former club (Photo: Getty) ‘I think it doesn’t matter what they’ve done last season or the season before that or whatever. It’s a new season; it’s the same for everyone. ‘Everyone’s going to play the same amount of games. So, we have to do it all over again. ‘We don’t have to defend it, we just have to win as many games as we can and then hopefully, we’ll be there in the end again.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Joe Cole won three Premier League titles at Chelsea (Picture: YouTube) Joe Cole has backed Manchester City to dethrone Arsenal this season unless the Premier League champions sign Victor Osimhen before the transfer deadline. Mikel Arteta’s side begin their title defence on Friday night when newly-promoted Coventry City, managed by Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, visit the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners won the Premier League by seven points last season and look well-placed for another successful season after Sunday’s emphatic Community Shield win over Man City. It has been suggested that City, the dominant force in English football over the past decade, could struggle in their first season without legendary manager Pep Guardiola. Exclusive Premier League previews Get ahead of the start of the season with our weekly football newsletter. Sign up now for free. But Cole has backed Enzo Maresca to win the Premier League in his first season at the Etihad Stadium unless Arsenal sign a new striker before the summer transfer window closes. Arteta is interested in bringing in a new No. 9 before the transfer deadline, with Arsenal heavily linked with Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez and Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen. Viktor Gyokeres ended his first season at Arsenal with 21 goals in all competitions but Cole nevertheless believes the Sweden international must be replaced for Arteta’s side to go back-to back in the Premier League. Arsenal transfer target Victor Osimhen (Picture: Getty) Asked for his title prediction on the Dressing Room podcast, ex-England star Cole said: ‘I’ve been flipping and I’m going to put an asterisk on this. ‘I think Man City win the title if Arsenal don’t bring in a No. 9 because I still think that will be a problem for them. ‘So I’m going to go Man City to win the league ahead of Arsenal but if they bring in Victor Osimhen, I would flip it back. But as it stands I’m going for Man City.’ Mikel Arteta is hoping to retain the Premier League title (Picture: Getty) Ex-Premier League striker Carlton Cole added: ‘Arsenal have the best squad and if they get Victor Osimhen in they’re going to be flying, he could be top goalscorer if he comes.’ Cole won three Premier League titles at Chelsea and expects the Blues to greatly improve this season under Xabi Alonso. Chelsea finished just 10th last term but Cole has backed his former club to climb back into the Champions League places. Man City will try to dethrone Arsenal (Picture: Getty) ‘I’m going to go Chelsea in third place, I think they’re going to have a really good season,’ Cole added. ‘Not having any European football is massive, we saw how that helped Manchester United last season. ‘Chelsea have finally got some experience through the door as well. Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Estevao had relaxing summers to varying degrees, not hugely intense summers, so I think they will all be at it.’ Alonso’s first Premier League game in charge of Chelsea is a west London derby against Fulham on Monday night. Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney says Arsenal are not only ‘favourites’ to win the Premier League but could ‘run away’ with the title. ‘Arsenal have the potential to run away with it but behind them we could see a lot of changes,’ Rooney said on Stick to United. ‘I think it’s unrealistic to think Manchester United are going to win the Premier League this year, I don’t think they will.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Alexander Isak's protracted £125m move to Liverpool dominated last summer's transfer window and there are signs that Manchester City's pursuit of Enzo Fernandez could follow a similar pattern. Chelsea agreed with the midfielder's agent Javier Pastore in late May that he could leave the club for £120m - but they put a deadline of 14 August for any bids. Now that deadline has passed without any formal offers, the Blues have told Fernandez's camp that the player is not for sale in this transfer window.
Derby County have received a formal offer from Serie A outfit AC Monza for goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom. The post Derby County Get Bid With Big Sell-on Clause For Star appeared first on Inside Futbol | Latest Football News, Transfer Rumours & Articles.
Up until the weekend, the question was very much who would partner Virgil van Dijk at centre-back for Liverpool's first Premier League game away at Newcastle on Sunday. When it comes to attackers and attacking players that will be expected to play a key part this season, Liverpool have Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo, Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha, while Hugo Ekitike is currently sidelined.
There are reunions for players to cherish. Alexander Isak's return to St James' Park on Sunday will not be that. The Newcastle supporters will make their feelings known. That is beyond his control. Isak's job is to focus on winning over those fans in Liverpool red.
