In north London, meanwhile, Arsenal continue to retain an interest in Youri Tielemans but are yet to lodge a formal offer for the Belgian international. Finally, Tottenham are said to be keeping keen eyes on Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo. Follow all of the latest news, gossip and rumours in our LIVE blog below!

Tuesday 26 July 2022 13:14 , Jonathan Gorrie

Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has revealed he cut short his holiday during the January transfer window to help the club beat Tottenham to the signing of Luis Diaz.

Spurs chased a deal for the then-Porto forward earlier this year and saw an opening bid rejected before Jurgen Klopp’s side landed the Colombian international.

While the successful signing of Dejan Kuluesvki softened the blow for Antonio Conte, Diaz had a major impact himself upon his move to the Premier League, scoring four times and registering three assists in 13 appearances.

Decision-makers at Spurs have since backed Conte heavily this summer but the Diaz saga came during a difficult run of things for the club, who also missed out on the signing of Adama Traore.

Lisandro Martinez has been pictured arriving at Carrington ahead of his official unveiling as a Manchester United player.

The centre-back was expected to pen a five-year contract at Old Trafford with the option for a further 12 months, with the transfer subject to the usual medical and visa requirements.

Tuesday 26 July 2022 09:26 , Jonathan Gorrie

Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Manchester might look like a positive thing on the face of it.

While not too much can be taken from preseason friendlies, United have looked impressive during the early days of the Erik Ten Hag era and welcoming back last season’s top scorer should be another boost.

Finding a club willing to pay his wages, however, may prove difficult.

Tottenham latest

Tuesday 26 July 2022 07:31 , Jonathan Gorrie

While not a new signing in the truest sense of the words, Tottenham fans will be eager to know why Cristian Romero has not been announced as a permanent arrival yet.

The Argentine had a huge impact last season after joining on loan from Atalanta and looks set for another big season under Antonio Conte.

Football.london’s Alasdair Gold has revealed the reason as to why there has been a hold up.

“Cristian Romero, I’ve had a lot of people asking why it hasn’t been announced yet, really, quite simply it’s because it hasn’t actually happened yet,” he told his YouTube channel.

“I’ve been asking around about that. When it was first announced it was really complicated and confusing. Spurs announced it as a permanent, Atalanta announced it as a loan, and we now know it is a loan. Everyone I’ve spoken to about this deal has said it’s a complicated one,” Gold said.

“From what I understand about it, it initially was a season-long loan with an option not an obligation to buy him for £42.5m, but it was pretty much an obligation because the criteria that had to be met for it to become permanent were so likely to happen that it was an obligation in all but name.”

Man United’s Garner willing to make Premier League move

Monday 25 July 2022 18:19 , George Flood

“I want to play for United,” Garner told the Press Association. “Of course that’s obviously my aim.

The Ukrainian international will provide competition and support for the injured Kieran Tierney at left-back, while he is also capable of being deployed in a central midfield role.

Zinchenko impressed during his early training sessions under Mikel Arteta - under whom he also worked at City during the Spaniard’s time as assistant to Pep Guardiola - on Arsenal’s pre-season tour of the United States, being trusted for an immediate start in Orlando, where he played the first 45 minutes of the shock 4-0 Florida Cup final drubbing of London rivals Chelsea.

Edu slams Arsenal’s former highly-paid flops

Monday 25 July 2022 11:39 , Matt Verri

Arsenal technical director Edu has hit out at previously highly-paid players who were underperforming and “killing” the club.

“If a guy is performing and has a big salary, that’s not a problem,” he told reporters on Arsenal’s pre-season tour of the United States. “When the player is 26-plus, big salary and he’s not performing, he’s killing you.”

Chelsea fear transfer deja vu

Monday 25 July 2022 10:54 , Matt Verri

The La Liga side’s manager Xavi has been instrumental in convincing his targets to turn down the Blues, having also poached Andreas Christensen from Chelsea on a free transfer.

The Blues have alternative defensive targets in mind should they lose out to Barcelona for Kounde but they are all imperfect options.

They can do battle for Inter’s Milan Skriniar but would have to take on one of the world’s richest clubs in Paris Saint-Germain.
