Arsenal hold talks with Premier League star – latest transfer reports | OneFootball

Tottenham are set to be joined by north London rivals Arsenal in the battle to sign Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, who is valued at £68m.

According to the Sun, Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta has held talks with the 26-year-old’s representatives. Eze has two years left on his Palace contract.

Talksport say the Gunners have switched their attention to Eze due to him being a cheaper alternative to Real Madrid winger Rodrygo.

Spurs, meanwhile, are reluctant to sell Cristian Romero this summer and have set a high price tag on him to ward off interest from rival clubs, according to reports.

Atletico Madrid are rumoured to be keen on signing the Argentine international and The Telegraph report that the north Londoners have set a £60m asking price for the 27-year-old as they battle to keep the defender at the club.

Elsewhere, Manchester United are reportedly back in pole position to sign Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, say the Mirror.

The 27-year-old is said to be willing to leave the Portuguese champions this summer, having scored 54 goals in 52 games last season.

Elsewhere, Sky Sports are reporting that Jarrad Branthwaite is close to agreeing a new deal at Everton.

The 23-year-old has had serious interest from Premier League and Champions League clubs, with Tottenham and Chelsea among the sides keen on the defender. Everton had been adamant about not selling Branthwaite this summer, who still has three years left on current deal.

Sky Italia are reporting that Napoli will need to make a big financial commitment to sign Darwin Nunez from Liverpool, who reportedly want a fee of €65 million, plus up to €5 million in add-ons.

The Telegraph say Newcastle have launched a triple bid to sign Brazil forward Joao Pedro, Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, 22, and Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga.

Sky Sports report that RB Leipzig are keen on signing Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott.

Finally, Fulham are believed to be pursuing a deal for Brazilian striker Romulo from Turkish Super Lig side Goztepe according to the Athletic.

The 23-year-old scored 17 goals and assisted a further ten, with Marco Silva’s side reported to have made an offer of £13m, with Goztepe rejecting it and looking for at least £17m.
