Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez could take Arsenal to ‘another level’, says Martin Keown (Picture: talkSPORT) Martin Keown says Julian Alvarez could be the calibre of player to take Arsenal to ‘another level’ and help bring the club’s wait for Champions League glory to an end. Arsenal have set out their stall across a busy summer transfer window, eager to strengthen on the back of their Premier League title triumph under Mikel Arteta last season. After activating their £35million option to sign Piero Hincapie on a permanent basis from Bayer Leverkusen, the Gunners moved quickly to wrap up deals for Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis and free agent Illan Meslier. While there was disappointment as Arsenal fell short in their pursuit of top attacking target Vinicius Junior, the £75m arrival of Bruno Guimaraes came as a statement to the rest of the league that Arteta’s side are determined to build on their success.

A comprehensive Community Shield victory over Manchester City on Sunday was further proof of this renewed desire within the group ahead of the new campaign, with new signings Tzolis and Guimaraes both impressing on their full debuts in Cardiff. But Arteta is reportedly determined to freshen up his attacking options before the transfer deadline and the English champions continue to be linked with potential big-money additions such as Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen, PSG’s Bradley Barcola and Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz. Former Arsenal and England defender Keown believes it could be time to revisit a possible deal for Atletico Madrid star Alvarez, though, despite Diego Simoene’s insistence that the striker is not for sale. Arsenal have been credited with an interest in Alvarez for some time (Picture: Getty) The Gunners prevailed over Manchester City to claim an 18th Community Shield title on Sunday (Picture: Getty) Asked if there could still be a ‘missing link’ in Arteta’s squad after Arsenal’s 3-0 win over City, Keown told talkSPORT’s Jim White: ‘We’re talking about key signings and what they do next. Obviously that’s an area… European dominance, never mind domestic dominance, the next step. ‘Of course, the two strikers are under pressure to make that happen. ‘It may be that someone like Alvarez [could be the man]. He’s a player that they looked at last season, they thought about bringing in and that could be the sort of player they’re looking at. ‘They need to decide. That’s the key at the moment, is the decisions.

Captain’s praise for new signings Guimarães and TzolisArsenal kick off new season against Coventry on Friday Martin Ødegaard has praised the instant impact made by new signings Bruno Guimarães and Christos Tzolis in Arsenal’s Community Shield victory over Manchester City on Sunday and believes the Premier League champions can compete for multiple trophies this season.Arsenal were hugely impressive as they blew away last season’s FA Cup winners in Cardiff, racing into a 3-0 lead after only 48 minutes. Tzolis – a £34m signing from Club Brugge – set up Kai Havertz for the second goal before adding another assist for Ødegaard to make it 3-0 just after half-time. Guimarães was replaced at the break by Declan Rice having put in a commanding performance on his first start since joining from Newcastle for £75m and Ødegaard admitted the Brazil midfielder has fitted in seamlessly.

Amid the doom and gloom at Newcastle United as familiar faces depart and the future looks uncertain, do not sleep on the signing of Bazoumana Toure. The Ivorian winger has the potential to be one of the most exciting Premier League arrivals this summer.
Arsenal could face a major transfer decision in the closing weeks of the window after Real Madrid revived their pursuit of Martin Zubimendi. The Spain international played an important role in Arsenal’s Premier League title triumph last season, but his position has become less certain following the £75 million arrival of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle […] The post Mourinho approves move for ‘extraordinary’ Arsenal player who faces uncertain future appeared first on CaughtOffside.
Dan Burn had only been away from Newcastle United's training ground for a few months. It has been another turbulent summer on Tyneside following the departures of manager Eddie Howe and influential figures Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon. Head coach Matthias Jaissle has brought half a dozen members of staff with him, while Burn has also been getting to know a handful of new team-mates in Lukas Hornicek, Ewen Jaouen, Aladji Bamba, Sean Steur and Bazoumana Toure.
Newcastle United have stepped up their pursuit of João Palhinha, opening direct talks with Bayern Munich as Matthias Jaissle attempts to rebuild a midfield stripped of two major players this summer.

Como boss and Chelsea hero Cesc Fabregas (Picture: Getty) Cesc Fabregas has expressed interest in a second Chelsea player after signing Trevor Chalobah for Como in a deal worth £30m. Chelsea put England centre-back Chalobah up for sale after signing £52m Maxence Lacroix from London rivals Crystal Palace. Chalobah made 151 appearances for boyhood club Chelsea, including 47 last season, and emerged as a key target for Como boss Fabregas. Fabregas briefly played alongside Chalobah at Stamford Bridge and welcomed the 27-year-old to Serie A side Como on a five-year deal. 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. Chalobah won five trophies during his 20-year spell at Chelsea, including the FA Cup in 2018 and the Europa Conference League in 2025. Chelsea failed to qualify for any European competition last season but Fabregas’ Como are preparing for a Champions League campaign after finishing fourth in Serie A. Discussing Chalobah’s move to Como, Fabregas said: ‘Trevoh is an important signing for us and a player who represents the level of ambition we have at this club. Trevoh Chalobah left Chelsea to join Como (Picture: Getty) ‘He is a leader who can raise the level of the team, and I am very happy that he has chosen Como.’ Fabregas has a good relationship with Chelsea bosses, having spent five years at Stamford Bridge as a player, winning two Premier League titles, the Europa League and two domestic cups. The Spanish football icon is hoping to use his connections at Chelsea to secure another summer signing and bring Liam Delap to Como. Liam Delap has been put up for sale by Chelsea (Picture: Getty) According to talkSPORT, Fabregas has sanctioned a move for Delap, who has been put up for sale by Chelsea after a poor first season in west London. Chelsea’s £30m signing of Delap was seen as a real coup but the 23-year-old only scored one Premier League goal for the Blues. Despite his struggles and the fact he was back-up to Chelsea No. 9 Joao Pedro, Chelsea hope to receive at least £40m for Delap amid long-term interest from Everton and Newcastle United. Xabi Alonso has sanctioned Delap’s exit (Picture: Reuters) Nottingham Forest have also reportedly joined the battle to sign Delap, who is believed to be hoping to stay in England if he is forced out of Chelsea. Chelsea bolstered Xabi Alonso’s attacking options over the summer with the signing of ex-England striker Danny Welbeck from Brighton. Nicolas Jackson has also returned from his season-long loan at Bayern Munich but could be offloaded as well as Delap, with Aston Villa admirers. Delap struggled at Chelsea last season (Picture: Getty) In an exclusive interview with Metro at the start of the summer, Danny Murphy advised Alonso to block Delap from leaving Chelsea. ‘I think any manager coming in has to give players a chance so I think he’ll want to look at them and see what they’ve got,’ Murphy said on behalf of NetBet football. ‘The other thing is that there might not be other clubs who want to take them with the wages they are on or pay the fee for them. ‘That is just the dynamic of football politics and transfers, you can easily say “they haven’t done very well let’s move them on”, but where to, and for how much? ‘Liam Delap is a young lad, and he brings some characteristics that Chelsea don’t have. He’s different to Joao Pedro so I think Xabi Alonso will give him a crack.’ Chelsea face west London rivals Fulham in their Premier League opener next Monday night. The Blues finished just 10th last season but have been tipped as dark horses for the title under former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder Alonso. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
