© Imago

Marseille are the latest team to express an interest in signing Arsenal centre-back Jakub Kiwior, according to a report.

The Poland international has been forced to play second fiddle to Gabriel Magalhaes for the past two-and-a-half seasons, but he has made a strong impression during the Brazilian's absence with a hamstring problem.

Kiwior has played the full 90 minutes in each of Arsenal's last 11 matches, netting one goal in the 2-2 Premier League home draw with Crystal Palace in late April.

The 25-year-old's partnership with William Saliba has blossomed over the last several weeks, but Gabriel will be expected to waltz back into the starting lineup when fully fit.

A Sterling move? Arsenal flop 'offered' shock Chelsea escape route

© Imago

Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling could supposedly be offered a surprise escape route by ex-Blues boss Jose Mourinho and his Fenerbahce side this summer.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta extended an olive branch to the 30-year-old last year, sanctioning a last-gasp loan deal for his former Manchester City colleague on deadline day.

However, Sterling has been a major disappointment in North London with just one goal and five assists in 27 matches, and he was left on the bench in Sunday's 2-2 draw with former club Liverpool.

The Gunners' agreement with Chelsea does not include an option or obligation to make his stay permanent, and Sterling will be heading back to Stamford Bridge when the campaign comes to an end.

Aubameyang 2.0? Arsenal sent warning over new Trossard contract

Arsenal have been warned off handing a new four-year contract to Belgian attacker Leandro Trossard, but a renewal on shorter terms must not be discounted.

The former Brighton & Hove Albion attacker has yet again proven to be an integral performer for Mikel Arteta this season, thanks both to his attacking output and consistent availability throughout the campaign.

Trossard's 54 appearances in 2024-25 is more than any other player, and he has produced 10 goals and nine assists in the process, form that has reportedly convinced the powers-that-be that he is worthy of a new long-term deal.

The attacker - who has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent times - sees his current terms expire next summer, but the club are said to be in talks with his entourage over a new agreement until 2029, by which time he will be 34.

Villa have allegedly not yet decided whether to sign the Englishman on a permanent basis, and it is believed that the forward is still holding out hope that he may be able to earn a switch to a major club, potentially Barcelona.

Summer arrival? Amorim hints at centre-back addition after worrying Yoro claim

© Imago

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has suggested that the Red Devils could move for a new centre-back during this summer's transfer window amid concerns regarding Leny Yoro's foot injury.

The Frenchman limped off the field against West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday with an injury to the same foot, and he was not present during the team's opening training session on Wednesday.
