Arsenal are aiming to kickstart their summer spending with a big-name striker signing. Newcastle striker Alexander Isak is the dream addition but a £200million price tag has been slapped on the player, meaning RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko is considered more realistic. However, reports overnight claim Victor Osimhen, preiviously expected to join Chelsea, could be the new target.
Talking of Chelsea, their manager search appears to be narrowing down to Enzo Maresca, Kieran McKenna and Roberto De Zerbi, with a new manager expected to place by the end of next week. Transfer dealings continue without a head coach, though, with Crystal Palace's Michael Olise due to be signed for around £60m no matter who is appointed.
Manchester United will soon be also on the hunt for a new manager, with Erik ten Hag expected to be sacked after the FA Cup Final, which is today. McKenna has been tipped as his replacement, and the interest is mutual. Meanwhile, Tottenham are weighing up moves for Conor Gallager, Ivan Toney and a wide forward.
