Florian Wirtz believes that he is "more ready" and "really excited" for his second season in the Premier League after settling in during his first campaign at Liverpool. Wirtz made the move from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £116m last summer and scored seven goals and provided 10 assists in what was an underwhelming campaign overall for Liverpool under Arne Slot.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (Picture: Getty) Former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack can’t wrap his head around the Gunners’ decision to sign Illan Meslier from Leeds United earlier this summer. Meslier joined Arsenal on a free transfer in July after his contract at Leeds expired the previous month. The 26-year-old spent six seasons at Elland Road and made a total of 215 appearances in all competitions for the club, while helping the side win two promotions to the Premier League in 2020 and 2025. But Meslier found himself effectively frozen out by Daniel Farke last campaign, failing to make a single first-team appearance after dropping beneath Lucas Perri and Karl Darlow in the pecking order.

The Frenchman arrived at the Emirates to serve as a backup option behind David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga and made his debut against Girona in a pre-season friendly earlier this month. Meslier’s arrival looks set to force young keeper Tommy Setford out on loan before deadline day, an outcome which has not pleased former Arsenal shot-stopper Stack. ‘Look, he’s experienced, but it’s highly unlikely that you would use him,’ Stack told Metro via Lad Casino. ‘My question is, is there not another goalkeeper at Arsenal Football Club that’s capable of that? Illan Meslier arrived from Leeds United on a free transfer (Picture: Getty) ‘What are they doing at the club that they’re not producing any goalies? They just keep signing goalies. ‘At what point is there going to be an Arsenal goalkeeper that’s going to, not even break through, but I’m talking about being a number three.’ Stack also questioned why Meslier made the move to become a third-choice at such a young age, accusing the Frenchman of ‘throwing the towel in’. ‘I question him, I really do question the goalkeeper,’ he added. Tommy Setford (right) is set to leave on loan (Picture: Getty) ‘The reason I say that is that he’s got Premier League experience, he’s played countless games in the Premier League, he’s got bundles of experience, been at Leeds for I don’t know how many years. ‘He’s played loads of games, and maybe he doesn’t have that burning desire to go and play games and put himself under pressure. Maybe that’s what he’s after. ‘But I’m just surprised with someone of Meslier’s quality that he’s decided to almost chuck the towel in and be a number three.’ Alongside Meslier, Arsenal turned Piero Hincapie’s loan move from Bayer Leverkusen into a permanent deal, while Christos Tzolis and Bruno Guimaraes have joined from Club Brugge and Newcastle United, respectively. Bruno Guimaraes is Arsenal’s latest summer signing (Picture: PA) And while Arsenal are still eyeing up more signings at left wing and centre-back, Stack believes his former side are still heavy favourites to retain the league title this season. ‘Absolutely, Arsenal will win it,’ Stack said. ‘I think Arsenal will be buzzing after last year, and think it’s a situation now where it’s basically the monkey off their back. ‘They will be going into the season absolutely buzzing, and with the signing of Guimaraes and probably more to come between now and the start of the season, I think they will definitely strengthen. ‘The only concern would be how fatigued some of the players might be after Christmas in the crunch end of the season, when there are so many games in the league, domestic competitions and the Champions League, especially after a summer World Cup. ‘Rotating the squad is going to be key this season, so stopping players getting fatigued and looking tired just requires a big enough squad to make the changes and rotate players effectively. Just keep freshening it up. ‘I fancy Arsenal to go and win it, but I think that it will be a close-run race with Man City, I think City will be close behind them.’ For more stories like this, check our sport

Mikel Arteta ‘likes Christian Kofane very much’, according to the striker’s agent (Picture: Getty) Christian Kofane says he would be open to a move to the Premier League in the future – but remains committed to Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the new season. The 20-year-old striker joined Leverkusen from Spanish second-tier outfit Albacete last summer and showed several glimpses of his undoubted promise across an encouraging debut season in the Bundesliga. While he is yet to establish himself as a guaranteed starter for Leverkusen, Kofane finished the campaign with a tally of seven goals and nine assists in his opening 44 appearances appearances for the club. Arguably Kofane’s most notable contribution came during the last-16 stage of the Champions League, when he caught the eye in both legs against the eventual runners-up Arsenal. 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. The young centre-forward more than held his own against Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba and was perhaps unfortunate not to score in the second meeting, with David Raya producing a stunning save to deny him late on at the Emirates. Subsequent reports emanating out of Germany claimed Arsenal were so enamoured by Kofane’s showings that they were even discussing a summer move – rumours that were seemingly confirmed by the player’s agent Eric Depolo. ‘Yes, Arsenal’s interest is genuine,’ Depolo told Daily Arsenal. Kofane shone against Arsenal in the Champions League (Picture: Getty) The Cameroon international has also been linked with Everton this summer (Picture: Getty) ‘The manager [Mikel Arteta] likes him very much.’ Asked which other clubs had expressed an interest in Kofane, Depolo replied: ‘Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton, Brentford, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.’ Depolo suggested the presence of both Arteta and Saliba in north London had put Arsenal in ‘pole position’ to strike a deal for the Cameroon international. ‘I think it is too early to say [which club is leading the race],’ he explained. Kofane has been capped six times by Cameroon (Picture: Getty) ‘But due to the fact that the player speaks Spanish, like Mikel Arteta, and that William Saliba is originally from Cameroon, I would say Arsenal are in pole position. ‘There is contact between me and Arsenal. But their focus right now is to win the league – from there everything will start moving.’ Depolo claimed Arsenal would be acquiring a ‘complete’ striker for the next decade should they secure a deal for his client. He added: ‘He is a €100million (£85m) player. With Kofane, Arsenal will have a top striker for the next ten years.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Martin Odegaard heads ball directly into police officer during Arsenal parade","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/06\/01\/188721103218914644\/480x270_MP4_188721103218914644.mp4","description":"Whoops!","duration":"T8S","height":480,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/06\/01\/12\/109008017-0-image-a-36_1780314932393.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-06-01T12:52:23+0100","width":270} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); In the intervening months, Everton are believed to have stepped up their interest in Kof
Fresh off their World Cup run, several key Argentina national team players are on the move during the 2026 summer transfer window, with Cristian Romero, Thiago Almada, and Facundo Medina all reportedly closing in on new deals. Argentina made waves during the 2026 World Cup by storming all the way to the final before suffering a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Spain. Now, key members of that runner-up squad are generating significant buzz across the summer transfer window, with Cristian Romero, Thiago Almada, and Facundo Medina all nearing high-profile moves. One of the defining sagas of the summer window centers on Cristian Romero, the Tottenham Hotspur captain who made his desire to depart North London clear at the end of the club season. Coming off a standout campaign in the World Cup that earned him a nomination for defender of the tournament, the star center back is now closing in on his next destination. As reported by transfer insider Nicolo Schira and ESPN Argentina‘s Esteban Edul, Romero has agreed to personal terms with Atletico Madrid. While Inter Milan pursued his signature, valuation hurdles stalled talks, allowing Los Colchoneros to strike an agreement on a €6 million annual salary through 2030 with a club option for 2031. Final club-to-club negotiations with Tottenham are expected to wrap up between €40 million and €45 million. Meanwhile, transfer reporter Cesar Luis Merlo reported that Thiago Almada will leave Atlwtico Madrid to sign with Argentine power River Plate. The versatile forward, who opened the World Cup as a starter before seeing his minutes drop as the tournament progressed, will sign a three-and-a-half-year contract in a €20 million deal for 100% of his rights, with Atletico retaining a €40 million buyback clause. (L-R) Palacios, Tagliafico, Romero and Almada of Argentina during a training session. (Rodrigo Valle/Getty Images) Finally, French outlet L’Equipe revealed that Bayer Leverkusen reached a verbal agreement with Marseille to acquire Facundo Medina for €23 million plus €2 million in add-ons on a five-year deal. Naturally a central defender, Medina filled in capably at left back following Nicolas Tagliafico’s injury, cementing his status as one of the most reliable anchors along La Albiceleste’s back line. More Argentine stars featured in transfer speculation While Argentina’s collective output fell just short of repeating its 2022 championship triumph, the squad’s individual stars continue to command massive interest across Europe. Although Emiliano Martinez’s rumored move to Juventus has officially fallen through, several other marquee names remain linked to potential departures. The headline story involves Julian Alvarez, with Barcelona making a push to acquire the star striker, who has publicly signaled his intent to leave Atletico Madrid. Barcelona sporting director Deco traveled to Madrid this week to meet with Alvarez’s agent, Fernando Hidalgo, as the Catalan club prepares its final proposal, even while Atlético continues to demand his full €500 million release clause. Elsewhere, reporter Fabrizio Romano indicates that English side Ipswich Town and Bundesliga club RB Leipzig are actively pursuing midfielder Exequiel Palacios, with negotiations ongoing. Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo reports that AS Roma is pushing to sign Nicolas Gonzalez, who returned to Juventus after a loan stint with Atletico Madrid; Juventus values the winger at €30 million, while Roma’s initial valuation sits closer to €20 million. Two additional transactions are also entering the final stages. Right back Nahuel Molina is finalizing the remaining details of his move to Roma, while teenage prodigy Franco Mastantuono, who has already worn Argentina’s iconic No. 10 shirt, is set to join Fiorentina on loan from Real Madrid, with only final contract signatures remaining before the deal becomes official.
