Just In: Manchester City Set To Sign English Duo In Record-Breaking Fee

Meanwhile in London, Arsenal are confident to sign Ben White from Brighton in the next few days according to reports. Both clubs are still yet to agree on a final fee, but personal terms have already agreed with the player.

While the Gunners have had an initial offer of around £40 million rejected for the 23-year-old centre-back, talks are still ongoing between both clubs. Brighton are demanding around £50m for White, and reports suggest Arsenal are certain to make an improved bid close to the evaluation of the player who is currently away with England at the Euro 2020.

Another player Arsenal are keeping tabs on is Anderlecht midfielder Lokonga. The transfer news is that player has reportedly been approached by Atalanta but has asked that Arsenal be made priority.

A player set to depart from the Emirates is Lucas Torreira. His agent has said he wants to go to the Serie A. “He wants to come back to Italy. There are proposals from Spain, France and Russia but he wants Serie A. Arsenal understand the situation and now they’ll help us,” he said. The Gunners want €20m for the midfielder who spent last season on loan with Atletico Madrid. Lazio are amongst the clubs interested.

In another part of London, Chelsea look set to miss out on transfer target Achraf Hakimi. Reports suggest the Inter Milan right-back would prefer a move to France to join Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a move to England.

Inter value the player at around €80 million and are said to be waiting on the French club to send a new official bid of around €70 million to complete the deal. Chelsea and PSG both reportedly sent initial bids of €60 million which was rejected by the Italian side.

Meanwhile, Olympique Marseille have asked for AS Roma goalkeeper, Pau Lopez who is set to leave the club this summer. Reports suggest that the player is keen to leave after Roma’s pursuit of Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio has reached an advanced stage. The Portuguese has reportedly already agreed personal terms with Jose Mourinho’s side.

In the managerial department, Lucien Favre, who was reportedly set to sign a three-year deal as the new Crystal Palace manager after a verbal agreement was made and work permit started, has decided to turn down the proposal. Reports suggest he might have been presented a more appealing offer elsewhere.
