Arsenal Confirm Gyökeres Medical as No. 14 Shirt Awaits Striker

Arsenal have secured permission for Viktor Gyökeres to undergo a medical on Saturday, finalizing terms of their £55 million deal with Sporting CP. The Sweden international has agreed a five-year contract worth around £125,000 per week and will don the iconic No. 14 shirt vacated by Thierry Henry.

• The Gunners will pay an initial $63.5 million fee plus up to $10 million in performance-related bonuses.
• Gyökeres, 27, scored 43 goals and provided 15 assists as Sporting clinched the Primeira Liga title last season.

The completion of this transfer marks Mikel Arteta’s long-awaited reinforcement in attack as Arsenal prepare to embark on their preseason tour in Singapore.

Newcastle Eye Sesko as Potential Isak Replacement

Newcastle United are preparing for life without talisman Alexander Isak, exploring RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko as a ready-made replacement. With Isak sidelined from the Asia tour amid mounting Liverpool interest, the Magpies have identified the 22-year-old Slovenian—who scored 13 goals in 33 Bundesliga games last term—as their top target should a summer sale materialize.

Financial constraints under Premier League PSR rules mean Newcastle may need to cash in on Isak—valued at over £130m—to fund a €65–70m deal for Sesko. The club’s limited striker depth, compounded by Callum Wilson’s departure and only Anthony Elanga’s arrival so far, heightens the urgency to secure a proven finisher before the Champions League campaign begins.

Barcelona Resolves Tour Dispute as Rashford Loan Approaches

Barcelona have reversed their decision to cancel the July 27 friendly in Japan after resolving a contractual dispute with local promoters. The reigning La Liga champions will now kick off their Asian tour in Kobe before moving on to two fixtures in South Korea.

England international Marcus Rashford sealed a season-long loan from Manchester United just hours before the dispute emerged, and Sunday’s match against Vissel Kobe could mark his first appearance in Barça colours. The 27-year-old is also set to reunite with friend Jesse Lingard when Barcelona face FC Seoul on July 31.

Bayern and Liverpool in talks over Luis Díaz transfer

Bayern Munich have reignited their pursuit of Luis Díaz, lodging a fresh bid close to £60 million for the Colombia international and entering direct talks with Liverpool over a potential transfer. Sky Sports and other outlets report that personal terms have already been agreed between Díaz and Bayern on a contract running until 2029.

The new offer surpasses Bayern’s initial proposal of around £50–58 million.

Liverpool, who initially insisted Díaz was not for sale, are now open to negotiation.

Funds from any sale could help the Premier League champions chase Alexander Isak this summer.

Manchester United Receive Concrete Saudi Offer for Antony as Betis Deal Collapses

Manchester United have received a concrete bid for winger Antony as they look to offload unwanted squad members before the new season. Real Betis’ hopes of re-signing the Brazilian have faded due to financial constraints, leaving two Saudi Pro League clubs in pole position to secure his services.

United currently have four players deemed surplus to requirements in their so-called “bomb squad.”

Antony, signed for £81 million in 2022, is now on the fringes and likely to depart before preseason preparations conclude.
