Lyon star Tanguy Ndombele has reportedly been offered a contract by Tottenham.





French newspaper L'Equipe reports that a provisional offer has been made to the highly-rated midfielder.
A number of Europe's top clubs are after his signature but the north London club is said to be leading the race.
Ndombele is valued at around £ 88 million.

Wolves have reportedly joined Chelsea in the race to sign Porto striker Moussa Marega.




Wolves have earmarked the striker, who netted 21 times in 46 games last season, as backup for hitmen Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota, Daily Mirror reports.
The 28-year-old Mali ace is also attracting interest from West Ham and Everton and has two years left on his Estadio do Dragao deal which includes a £30m release clause.

Ian Wright has called on Arsenal boss Unai Emery to keep out-of-favour Mesut Ozil.






The German playmaker is the Gunners' highest-paid player, on a reported £350,000-a-week, and Emery could try and shift him to free up funds.

Wright told the Daily Mirror: “I'm not for selling someone like Mesut Ozil because Mesut Ozil is the kind of player you want in your team.
“People can say whatever they want – levelling accusations that he doesn't do it in this game or that game.

“The fact is that he is good enough to be doing it in those games.

“I have no problem with Mesut Ozil earning what he is earning, because at the end of the day you need players around him that can bring the best out of him as well.”

Arsenal face stiff competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich



Arsenal face stiff competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich for Espanyol defender Mario Hermoso, reports claim.

The 23-year-old, who made his Spain debut earlier this season, has a £35million release clause in his contract – which expires next summer.
The Gunners are desperate for defensive reinforcements and, according to Spanish publication AS, Hermoso has been identified as a target.

Unai Emery could make German defender Shkodran Mustafi available for sale to bolster his transfer budget this summer.


Arsenal director of football Raul Sanllehi vows never to make the same mistake again after letting Aaron Ramsey leave for free.




The Welshman will join Juventus for nothing this summer, signing a deal worth a reported £400,000-a-week, after failing to agree fresh terms with the Gunners.

The club are keen to tie star strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette down to new deals – and Sanllehi says players will be sold if they refuse to sign new contracts.

He told the club's official website: “At the end of the day, the problem [with Ramsey], the real essence of the problem, was that we had reached the last year of the contract.

“One of our priorities is not to get to the last year of contracts.
“This is the example. This is the reason why.
“If you really want to keep that player, you need to renew him before getting to the last year of the contract because you are putting yourself in a very weak position.
“We cannot get to the last year of the contract. If we cannot get a renewal before that, then we may have to sell.”

Arsenal legend Ian Wright says Ben Chilwell and Youri Tielemans are 'dream' signings for Arsenal this summer.





Chilwell, the Leicester left-back, and midfielder Tielemans, who spent part of 2018/19 on loan with the Foxes, are two of the most highly-rated young players in Europe.

The Gunners are reported to have looked at them, and Wrighty told the Mirror they would be on his summer dream list for Arsenal.

“Someone like Ben Chilwell,” Wrighty said. “He is the kind of left-back who is getting better with every game. He's an England international now. Somebody that I'm sure is going to be sought after.

“Then there is Youri Tielemans. He came over from Monaco. He's on loan at Leicester City and he's someone that – well there are loads of teams linked with him – but he's someone that you'd want to have.

“And Nicolas Pepe at Lille. That kind of winger with his intensity, pace and skill. Those are the kind of players that are definitely going to improve any team, if I'm totally honest.

“And they're at the age where they are going to be there for a few years. So that's a dream list if I'm being totally honest.”

Bayern Munich target triple swoop for Leroy Sane, Rodri and Timo Werner



Manchester City winger Leroy Sane is one of three players that Bayern Munich wants to sign this summer as they continue to overhaul their squad.

Sane has been linked with a move to the German giants - with Pep Guardiola preferring the likes of Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez.

And according to AS, the Germany international has been identified as a perfect replacement for the departing Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
