🔴 BREAKING: Jadon Sancho's Chelsea Move OFF – Deal Collapse Over Salary Talks
Jadon Sancho’s permanent move to chelsea callapses as both sides fails to hammer out a suitable salary structure acceptable to the player.
The winger, once seen as Chelsea’s marquee gamble, won’t be swapping Manchester red for London blue after all. Sources close to the talks say the deal broke down over wages — Chelsea refused to match the hefty salary Sancho earns at Manchester United as Confirmed by Fabrizio Romano
After days of back-and-forth, the plug’s been pulled.
Sancho will now officially return to United at the end of June with the Blues opting to pay the 5 Million Pounds penalty inserted in his loan contract if they opted against signing him.. But this isn’t a comeback—it’s just a layover. The 24-year-old is still eyeing a fresh start elsewhere, and suitors across Europe are watching closely.
Where will be the next destination for Sancho?

Breaking: Roundup of Arsenal Latest Transfer News and Updates
Arsenal Set to Announce Martin Zubimendi Signing After Successful Medical
Arsenal are on the verge of officially completing the signing of Spanish midfielder Martín Zubimendi, with reports indicating that the Real Sociedad star has already undergone a successful medical in England.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano had previously given the deal his iconic "Here We Go," and it now appears that the announcement from Arsenal could come in the coming days. Zubimendi, who has been a long-term target for Mikel Arteta, is expected to add much-needed depth and control to the Gunners' midfield ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
The 25-year-old is currently focused on international duty as Spain prepare to face France in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals. Despite his commitments with the national team, Arsenal are expected to finalize the transfer soon.
With the Premier League’s first registration window closing on June 10, Arsenal may look to complete the paperwork swiftly. However, since the club is not participating in this year’s FIFA Club World Cup, they have a bit of flexibility and could afford to delay official registration until June 16 if necessary.
The addition of Zubimendi marks a strategic move for Arsenal as they aim to strengthen their squad depth and maintain competitiveness across all domestic and European competitions.
Arsenal Monitor PSG Star Bradley Barcola Amid Intense Transfer Interest
Arsenal are reportedly keeping a close eye on Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola as Mikel Arteta considers attacking reinforcements for the upcoming 2025/26 Premier League season. The 21-year-old French talent is the latest high-profile name to be linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium during the summer transfer window.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, the Gunners have extensively scouted Barcola in recent months. The rising PSG star has also attracted serious interest from fellow Premier League clubs, with both Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur believed to be tracking his progress closely.
Barcola, known for his explosive pace, dribbling skills, and versatility across the front line, has emerged as one of the most exciting young prospects in European football. However, any deal for the forward won’t come cheap. Sources close to PSG suggest that the Ligue 1 champions value Barcola between €100 million and €120 million (£84.2 million to £101.1 million), reflecting both his current impact and future potential within their long-term project.
While Arsenal remain focused on bolstering their forward options this summer, Barcola’s hefty price tag could present a significant obstacle—especially with other priority targets also under consideration.
Arsenal's £59M Bid for Viktor Gyökeres Rejected by Sporting CP
Arsenal’s pursuit of Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres has hit a stumbling block after the Portuguese champions reportedly rejected a £59 million offer for the Swedish international.
According to Portuguese outlet Correio da Manhã, Sporting are holding firm on their valuation, demanding at least £67 million to part ways with their star forward. The 26-year-old has been in sensational form in Liga Portugal, drawing attention from several top European clubs, with Arsenal leading the race for his signature.
With negotiations ongoing, the Gunners may need to return with an improved offer to secure the prolific striker, who has become a key piece in Sporting’s recent domestic success.
Arsenal Stepping up Pursuit for RB Leipzig Striker Benjamin Šeško
Arsenal are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Šeško, with sporting director Andrea Berta believed to have held behind-the-scenes talks with Leipzig executives to explore a potential summer transfer.
The 21-year-old Slovenian striker, who has a £69 million release clause, has been on Mikel Arteta’s radar for several transfer windows. With RB Leipzig failing to secure a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League, the Bundesliga side may be open to selling one of their most valuable assets.
Šeško's combination of pace, physical presence, and clinical finishing makes him a highly attractive option as Arsenal look to strengthen their attack ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
Rodrygo Dismisses Exit Rumors Amid Arsenal Transfer Interest
Earlier in the summer, speculation surrounding the future of Brazilian winger Rodrygo ignited widespread interest across Europe, with several Premier League clubs—including Arsenal—reportedly monitoring the situation. The 23-year-old Real Madrid star was believed to be open to a potential move away from the Santiago Bernabéu in search of a more prominent role.
However, fresh updates from Spain suggest that Rodrygo has now committed his future to Real Madrid. Despite the growing interest from top English clubs, the talented winger has reportedly informed Los Blancos of his intention to stay and fight for his place in the team.
Rodrygo’s decision is expected to influence the transfer strategies of clubs like Arsenal, who may now shift their attention to alternative attacking targets in the summer window as they look to reinforce their squad ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Arsenal Consider Joao Pedro as Backup Striker Option in Summer Transfer Plans
As Arsenal continue their aggressive push to strengthen their attacking line this summer, Brighton forward João Pedro has emerged as a potential alternative if the club fails to land its top striker targets.
The Gunners remain focused on securing a marquee signing up front, with Sporting CP's Viktor Gyökeres and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško identified as Mikel Arteta’s primary targets. However, if either deal proves too difficult or costly to finalize, Pedro is reportedly being considered as a strong backup option.
The 22-year-old Brazilian has impressed in the Premier League with his versatility and technical ability. Capable of playing as a central striker or in a supporting role behind the front line, Pedro fits well into Arteta’s flexible attacking system.
With Arsenal looking to add both depth and creativity to their frontline for the 2025/26 season, João Pedro’s name remains firmly on the radar should plans for a blockbuster striker signing fall through.

Breaking Transfer News: Manchester United Secure Matheus Cunha in £62.5M Transfer from Wolves
The 25-year-old striker has agreed to a five-year contract with the Red Devils, which includes an option for a further year. The transfer meets the value of Cunha's release clause, which had been set at £62.5 million when he signed a new contract with Wolves just months ago.
Cunha, who impressed in the Premier League with his pace, versatility, and flair, is expected to play a key role in Manchester United's attacking setup going forward.
This high-profile acquisition signals the beginning of a new era of rebuild under Amorim, with more signings expected as Manchester United aim to improve from a shambolic finish last season.

PSG Destroy Inter Milan 5-0 to Clinch Historic First UEFA Champions League Title
Paris Saint-Germain have finally claimed their long-awaited UEFA Champions League title, and they did it in spectacular fashion — demolishing Inter Milan 5-0 in a one-sided final that will go down in football history.
The Parisians came flying out of the blocks, dominating the match from the very first whistle with their high-intensity pressing, dynamic movement, and ruthless attacking play. Inter Milan struggled to deal with the relentless pressure and tempo, especially in the opening 30 minutes.
The breakthrough came in the 12th minute when Achraf Hakimi (corrected from "acaraf") slotted home following a brilliant team move initiated by the impressive Desire Doué. Moments later, Doué turned scorer, finishing off a devastating counterattack to double PSG’s lead.
Inter Milan tried to slow the game down and gain some control, but they rarely threatened PSG’s goal and looked out of ideas going forward. Their compact defensive structure, often effective in Serie A, was repeatedly pulled apart by the movement and speed of PSG’s attackers.
The second half was little more than a procession, as PSG continued to dominate possession and create chance after chance. Doué added his second of the night before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu added their names to the scoresheet, sealing a 5-0 rout that could easily have been even more lopsided.
From start to finish, PSG looked like a team on a mission — hungry, aggressive, and clinical. It was the kind of performance worthy of Champions League glory, and one that firmly announced their arrival at the pinnacle of European football.
As an Arsenal fan, watching the final unfold was bittersweet. There’s a nagging sense of “what could have been” knowing how close the Gunners came to reaching this stage. I even tweeted during the semi-finals that Inter Milan would have been the best possible opponent in the final, and PSG’s dominant display only confirmed that belief.
Arsenal's Striker Hunt: Gyökeres or Šeško Who Solves The Striker Problem.
Arsenal’s search for a new striker has been one of the most prominent subplots of the 2024–25 campaign — a narrative that only intensified after Gabriel Jesus was sidelined for an extended period with another knee injury. While Kai Havertz has done an admirable job filling in up top, he's never been a traditional centre-forward, and Mikel Arteta’s side is clearly in need of a natural finisher.
The statistics back that up. Arsenal scored 22 fewer league goals this season compared to last. While some might have previously argued that the team could get by without investing heavily in a striker, that viewpoint has become increasingly difficult to defend. As the summer transfer window opened, Arsenal’s recruitment team seems poised to make a major move — not just for the immediate future, but for the seasons ahead.
At the top of the club’s shortlist are two names: Viktor Gyökeres and Benjamin Šeško.
Gyökeres: Proven, Powerful, and Ready Now
For those who believe Arsenal need a striker who can hit the ground running, Gyökeres fits the bill. The Swedish forward has been nothing short of dominant for Sporting CP in Portugal. His 39 league goals — including 12 from the penalty spot — comfortably outpaced any other scorer in the division and helped his club secure the Primeira Liga title.
Even without penalties, his scoring numbers remain elite, which is no small feat in a league known for producing rugged defenders and tight contests. Gyökeres isn’t just thriving in Portugal — he also enjoyed a solid spell at Coventry City before making his move abroad, suggesting that a return to English football wouldn't require much adaptation.
However, his European campaign has invited more mixed reviews. A memorable hat-trick against Manchester City caught the headlines, but overall, his six Champions League goals placed him 13th among the competition’s top scorers. Advanced metrics like expected goals (xG) place him near the top 10 when measured per 90 minutes (among players with at least 500 minutes), but slightly lower when you strip out penalties. That’s where Benjamin Šeško starts to shine.
Šeško: The Prospect with Huge Upside
Šeško may be younger, but he’s already making his presence felt in top-tier European football. Despite RB Leipzig's rough Champions League campaign — losing seven of their eight group matches — Šeško’s individual performances have stood out.
His non-penalty expected goals per 90 minutes sits at 0.48, a figure that puts him on par with Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martínez. All three players — Martínez, Gyökeres, and Šeško — are currently outperforming their xG numbers, but Šeško’s ability to find good scoring positions and convert them has been a bright spot in a challenging season.
In the Bundesliga, he has shown consistent growth. While his overall goal tally dipped slightly, he has become more involved in build-up play and chance creation, demonstrating qualities that could potentially allow him to replace the deeper-lying forward traits that Havertz currently offers.
Choosing Between the Present and the Future
Arsenal’s decision may ultimately come down to philosophy. Gyökeres is 27 this summer and seemingly in his prime. He represents a ready-made solution for a team looking to mount a serious title challenge immediately. With over 50 goals in all competitions this season, he’s a proven force.
Šeško, on the other hand, is just 21 and still developing. But the potential is undeniable. Only a handful of players scored more than him in the Bundesliga this year, and clubs have tracked his progress since his breakout with Red Bull Salzburg. While he might not be as explosive statistically as Erling Haaland was at the same age, his ceiling is still considered extremely high.
Arteta and Arsenal have leaned heavily into long-term investments under their current project. Signings like Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber reflect a strategy of building a youthful core that can compete at the highest level for years.
If the club sees 2025 as a make-or-break season for silverware, Gyökeres is arguably the safer, more immediate solution. But if the emphasis remains on sustainability and growth, Šeško may represent the smarter long-term play.
Final Thoughts
There’s no perfect answer in the striker market — especially for a club without limitless spending power. But Arsenal are clearly aware that reinforcements are needed up front. Whether they opt for Gyökeres' current dominance or Šeško’s future promise, the move will send a clear signal: this team is ready to evolve, and it’s not settling for second best.

Arsenal Grind out a Composed 2:0 Victory at the Villa Park
Arsenal earned an important 2-0 win against Aston Villa at Villa Park this evening, banishing the ghosts of their defeat there last season.
The first half was both tense and tightly contested, with Arsenal unable to make the most of their dominant possession.
Eager to attack, the Gunners frequently pushed forward, but Aston Villa countered quickly, nearly scoring on several occasions. Ollie Watkins’ glaring miss was crucial in keeping Arsenal level early on.
Morgan Rodgers emerged as a significant threat for Arsenal, utilizing his direct runs in midfield alongside Leon Bailey's menace, which caused issues for William Saliba and Thomas Partey, leading to Declan Rice receiving a yellow card just before halftime, with neither team managing to find the net.

In the second half, Aston Villa remained resilient, but Arsenal showcased their experience, successfully holding off their opponents, though they were fortunate not to fall behind at least once.
A pivotal moment came when David Raya executed a stunning save to deny Watkins, which arguably shifted the momentum in favor of Arsenal.
Villa’s inability to convert their chances proved costly when Leandro Trossard netted the opener.
Despite a flurry of substitutions from Villa, Arsenal maintained their grip on the match and secured their victory with a second goal from Thomas Partey, who was once again aided by Trossard.
Although Villa put Arsenal’s defense to the test, the backline—especially Saliba—performed exceptionally well, ensuring a clean sheet that reflected their solid display.
This victory marks another away win for the Gunners in 2024, continuing their unbeaten league run on the road this year.

Arsenal Wrapped Up Their Preseason Friendlies With a Comfortable 2:0 Against Lyon.
Arsenal concluded their pre-season with a 2-0 win over French side Lyon, successfully defending the Emirates Cup.
The Gunners had an early chance when Bukayo Saka directed a header from a Martinelli cross on target, but it was easily caught by the goalkeeper. Arsenal controlled the game, generating several corners as they pressed into Lyon's half.
The breakthrough arrived in the 9th minute from one of those set-pieces, as William Saliba rose to head in a delivery from Declan Rice, giving Arsenal a 1-0 lead.
Another corner from Rice caused problems for Lyon, with Saliba again posing a threat in the box. Saka had another header from a Zinchenko cross, but it went wide of the far post. Rice then attempted a long-range shot, which was comfortably saved. A brilliant play by Odegaard allowed Martinelli to break through, but a Lyon defender blocked his cross intended for Havertz. However, from the resulting corner, Arsenal extended their lead. Rice delivered another excellent ball, and Gabriel powered in a header to make it 2-0.
Arsenal nearly scored a third when a superb pass from Havertz sent Martinelli racing through, but a defender managed to disrupt his shot. Havertz then headed over after Martinelli nodded a Saka free kick back across goal, while Lyon had a rare opportunity when Said Benrahma shot wide of Raya’s near post.
A few minutes later, a dangerous cross from Ainsley Maitland-Niles almost found Georges Mikautadze, but Raya intervened to clear the danger. Mikel Arteta’s side held onto their two-goal lead as they went into halftime.
Surprisingly, there were no substitutions at the break. Mikautadze had the first chance of the second half but shot over. Martinelli then set up Odegaard for a shot from the edge of the box, but the Lyon keeper made a fantastic save to tip it around the post.
Partey curled a shot wide after Rice's attempt was blocked, and Havertz also shot wide following good movement from Martinelli. Saka's third header of the match, this time from a Zinchenko cross, struck the bottom of the post.
Saka nearly connected with an Odegaard pass as they combined in the Lyon box. In the 63rd minute, Arteta made his first substitutions, bringing on Riccardo Calafiori for Zinchenko, who received a warm reception from the crowd. Gabriel Jesus replaced Declan Rice, allowing Havertz to move back into midfield, while Lyon made several changes as well. Saliba came close to scoring again, heading a Saka free kick just wide.
With about 15 minutes left, Arteta introduced Jakub Kiwior, Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Jorginho, Leandro Trossard, and Reiss Nelson for Havertz, Saka, Partey, Saliba, Gabriel, and Martinelli. Eddie Nketiah, who has been linked with a move to Marseille, remained on the bench.
Odegaard’s vision set up Nelson for a shot that the keeper saved at his near post. At the other end, a quick long throw caught Jorginho off guard, but Raya was there to deny the Lyon forward as he entered the box.
A clever run from Jesus and a well-placed pass from Odegaard created another opportunity, but the flag was raised for offside. Nwaneri showcased his talent with an impressive run and turn into the box, following it up with a right-footed shot that was saved by the keeper.

Arsenal Demolished Bayern Leverkusen 4:1 in a Preseason Friendly
Arsenal showcased their dominance with a decisive 4-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in their penultimate pre-season friendly at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. This performance serves as a strong indicator of their readiness for the upcoming season. Early goals from Oleksandr Zinchenko and Leandro Trossard set the tone for the match, following the team's summer tour in the USA. Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz also contributed to the scoreline, as Mikel Arteta’s confident squad overcame last season’s formidable German double winners, who narrowly missed an unbeaten season under Xabi Alonso and lost the Europa League final to Atalanta.
Arsenal, still anticipating the arrival of new signing Riccardo Calafiori, began the match with high intensity, taking the lead within the first eight minutes. Zinchenko initiated and completed a swift attacking move, releasing Havertz down the left flank before firing a low shot into the bottom corner after a clever layoff from captain Martin Odegaard.
The Gunners quickly doubled their advantage when Leverkusen's attempt to play out from the back backfired. Trossard capitalized on the error, and after a series of passes involving Odegaard, Jesus, and Havertz, he calmly slotted the ball into the net, evading a desperate sliding challenge.
Trossard later forced Leverkusen's goalkeeper Matej Kovar into a diving save with a long-range effort, while Odegaard had two shots blocked. Arsenal extended their lead to three goals before halftime when Jesus intercepted a poor throw-in from Leverkusen, surged forward, and saw his weak shot inadvertently redirected into the net by Kovar, who should have done better.
Leverkusen, who were behind Arsenal in their pre-season preparations with the Bundesliga season starting a week after the Premier League, appeared sluggish and lacking in both energy and quality. Their first-half efforts were limited to a few promising runs from Jeremie Frimpong and a blocked shot from Odilon Kossounou, with David Raya only called into action just before the break.
At halftime, Arteta made strategic substitutions, introducing Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Jakub Kiwior, and Myles Lewis-Skelly, giving the England duo their first minutes of pre-season after extended breaks following their Euro 2024 final run.
Leverkusen's Nathan Tella volleyed off target, and they survived a penalty appeal after a physical encounter between Havertz and Jonathan Tah. Havertz then made it 4-0 after Aleix Garcia failed to clear the ball in his own box, following a strong run from promising young talent Ethan Nwaneri and a dangerous low cross from Saka.
Leverkusen managed to score a consolation goal 15 minutes from time when Tella assisted Czech forward Adam Hlozek, who finished cleverly past Raya. However, last season's late-game specialists never looked likely to mount a comeback, instead reflecting on an unusually poor performance as they prepare for their final friendly against LaLiga side Real Betis and their upcoming German Super Cup clash with Stuttgart.
For Arsenal, only Lyon remains on their pre-season schedule before they kick off the new Premier League season at home against Wolves on August 17.

Champions League Quarter-Finals Second Leg Preview, Arsenal Faces Bayern Munich Showdown at the Alianz Arena
Arsenal heads to the Allianz Arena for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich. The first leg at the Emirates last week ended in a 2-2 draw, with the Gunners requiring a late equalizer from Trossard.
Both teams had a difficult weekend, with Bayern Munich despite winning their game lost their Bundesliga title to Bayern Leverkusen, while Arsenal suffered their first Premier League defeat of the year against Aston Villa at the Emirates. Both teams however aim to advance to the semi-finals, where they are likely to face the winners of Manchester City and Real Madrid, the two favorites to win this year’s Champions League.
Reports from the training ground at London Colney today indicate that all players were available for the session, including Ødegaard, who was substituted at the weekend game due to some pain he felt during the game . This news will be welcomed one by Arsenal fans, as they could hardly afford to miss their talisman for such a crucial match. Bayern Munich on the other hand weren’t so lucky, they have been dealt some injury blows, with Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry being serious doubts for their home leg against the Gunners.
The last time Arsenal played Bayern at the Allianz Arena in the knockout stage, the Gunners lost 5-1 to their German counterpart a result they hope to rectify by advancing to the semi-finals of this year’s Champions League.
