Transfer news LIVE!

Arsenal now know exactly what they have to do to sign Viktor Gyokeres after talks with the £86million striker’s camp. A new forward is the key priority for the Gunners with Victor Osimhen and Serhou Guirassy also on their radar, plus Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich.

Chelsea are another team keen to improve their frontline having signed Estevao William and they are reportedly a frontrunner to land Nico Williams from Athletic Club, along with Arsenal, having ended their interest in Stuttgart’s Guirassy. The Blues are sealing a deal to sign Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa with Ian Maatsen going in the opposite direction in something of a controversial move.

Manchester United continue to chase Leny Yoro alongside Liverpool and Real Madrid while also looking to bring back former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as part of Erik ten Hag’s staff. The Red Devils like Jonathan David too, but he has most recently been linked with Tottenham. Follow all the latest updates from the summer transfer window with Standard Sport’s live blog!

Chelsea end Victor Osimhen interest

It is claimed that Arsenal, PSG and Manchester United are the only clubs in the mix to sign Osimhen.

A move to Saudi Arabia is not being contemplated by the player.

Arsenal know what they have to do to sign Viktor Gyokeres.

Rumours out of Portugal that they are on the verge of signing the Sporting CP striker are not quite on the money, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, who has detailed his view on the state of negotiations.

It is said that Arsenal made contact with Gyokeres’ camp in the spring to gauge their demands for personal terms, while it is known that he has an £86m release clause in his Sporting contract.

Official! Roberto De Zerbi to become Marseille manager

Roberto De Zerbi is set to become new Marseille head coach.

De Zerbi brought an end to two successful seasons with the Seagulls following their final Premier League match against Manchester United in May.

Marseille said in a statement: "Olympique de Marseille announces that it has reached an agreement in principle with Roberto De Zerbi.

"The club is currently working with all stakeholders to formalise the arrival of the Italian coach, as well as that of his staff, on the OM bench and prepare for his arrival in Marseille in the coming days."

De Zerbi replaces Jean-Louis Gasset, the last of three managers appointed by Marseille last season as they limped to a third-placed finish in the table.

The Italian made his name with Brighton after replacing Graham Potter in September 2022, leading them to their highest ever top-flight finish of sixth, and subsequently into the Europa League.
