Transfer news LIVE: Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah nears exit, Chelsea offer Chilwell to Man Utd plus Sterling future

Girona have agreed a deal to sign Yaser Asprilla from Watford, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Spanish side – who will play in the Champions League this season – are one of several sides to pursue the Colombia winger’s signature.

Asprilla, and his agent, will travel to Spain today to complete a medical.

The Athletic are saying that West Ham are keen on signing Carlos Soler from PSG but will need to sell off players to make funds available.

Talks are ongoing over a season-long loan with an obligation to buy, plus a long-term contract, as West Ham work on sales after a summer of spending.

Max Kilman, Jean-Clair Todibo, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Crysencio Summerville and Niclas Fullkrug have all joined, with Guido Rodriguez, another midfielder, also arriving.

Former Belgium international Kompany, who replaced Thomas Tuchel in the dugout, has been working to restore order in the Bayern ranks and instil confidence among his players.

The new channel launched on Wednesday and in less than 90 minutes it had surpassed one million followers, breaking the world record for most subscribers gained in one hour.

Ronaldo’s new platform is designed to give fans a glimpse into the life he leads with partner Georgina Rodriguez.

In one of the first videos, the couple reveal some of their secrets in the famous Mr and Mrs game.

Ronaldo also shares a number of his passions in another video, and gives his takes on NFL vs NBA, boxing vs UFC and Rafa Nadal vs Novak Djokovic.

Within four hours, his new page had reached more than four million subscribers.

Jadon Sancho’s future at Manchester United has been in doubt ever since he fell out with Erik ten Hag almost 12 months ago, claiming on social media that he had been made a “scapegoat” following criticism from the manager.

The England winger spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund before resolving his differences with Ten Hag.

Sancho came off the bench in the Community Shield at Wembley but was omitted from the matchday squad for United’s league opener against Fulham.

Paris St Germain are keen on Sancho with Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte – who did not feature in the French club’s Ligue 1 opener at Le Havre – possibly moving the other way, while Fulham reportedly remain interested in United midfielder Scott McTominay.

Marc Guehi was always going to be in demand after Euro 2024 and so it has proved with Newcastle boss Eddie Howe identifying the 24-year-old as his top summer signing.

Newcastle have reportedly had four offers rejected by Palace, with the latest said to be worth £60m plus £5m in add-ons.

Guehi showed his continued commitment to Palace by captaining the side at Brentford, but Eagles fans will remain nervous that they could lose him and fellow defender Joachim Andersen, a Fulham target, before the window closes.

Raheem Sterling has been training on his own since Friday, as Chelsea have made it clear that the England international is not a part of Enzo Maresca’s plans for the season.

There could be a familiar name at Arsenal if manager Mikel Arteta gets his way.

Arteta is seeking the final piece in the Gunners’ jigsaw after pushing champions Manchester City all the way last season, and the Basque could return to hometown club Real Sociedad for a spot of late transfer business.

Mikel Merino was impressive during Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph, featuring in all seven games and scoring the quarter-final winner against Germany.

The 28-year-old has a year left on his current Sociedad deal and, standing at 6ft 2ins, would add further aerial strength to that provided by Declan Rice, Gabriel Magalhaes, Kai Havertz, William Saliba and new recruit Riccardo Calafiori.

Sevilla are hoping to secure a deal to sign Brighton defender Valentin Barco on loan, according to The Athletic. The 20-year-old joined Brighton from Boca Juniors in January and has only made seven appearances.

Sevilla’s push for Barco comes after they agreed to sell Marcos Acuna to River Plate.

After a summer of yet more arrivals at Stamford Bridge, it seems inevitable there will be departures in the final days of the window to reduce the numbers of Enzo Maresca’s squad.

Raheem Sterling’s future was placed into sharp focus when he was left out of the Blues squad for Sunday’s 2-0 defeat by Manchester City and his representatives released a statement questioning the decision.

While Sterling’s camp called for “further clarity” on the future of the England international, Conor Gallagher has already completed a move to Spain.

He’s joined Atletico Madrid in a joint deal that sent Joao Felix in the opposite direction. Expect more exits to come before the end of the window.
