Willian close to joining another premier league club side after Nottingham Forest make a promising offer today.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy met with Bayern Munich’s CEO in London amid the reports about Harry Kane, it has been reported.

 

The Athletic say that Levy met with Jan-Christian Dreesen, however, no fresh offer was made and no asking price has been given.

Luton have completed the £4m signing of Birmingham midfielder Tahith Chong.

 

The former Manchester United midfielder scored five goals and registered six assists in the Championship last season.

Bournemouth have agreed a deal with Lyon for midfielder Romain Faivre.

 

The 24-year-old will join Lorient on loan for the forthcoming season and then link up with the Bournemouth squad in the summer of 2024.

 

The total package is believed to be worth €15m (£12.84m).

Aston Villa have been told to smash their transfer record to sign Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby, talkSPORT understands.

 

Leverkusen want a fee in excess of £50m after rejecting Villa’s opening offer of £30m plus add-ons.

 

Talks beteeen the two clubs continue.

Arsenal have signed defender Jurrien Timber from Ajax for a fee in the region of £38m on a five-year deal.

 

The Gunners will pay an initial fee of just over £34m for the 22-year-old Netherlands international, with the remainder payable in performance-related add-ons.

Al Hilal have made a second bid worth close to £30m for Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

 

Fulham’s position remains unchanged and they have rejected the offer, insisting the Serbia international is not for sale.

 

Sky Sports News understands Mitrovic has personally contacted Tony Khan, Fulham's director of football, to ask him to accept the offer.

West Ham have confirmed captain Declan Rice has left the London Stadium for a British record transfer fee between two clubs of £105m.

He's already with the Arsenal squad wherever it is that they are now for pre-season and when Arteta asked him to say a few words he said he was "looking forward to winning a few trophies"

 

 

I previously said in the 2022/23 Premier League thread that Arsenal would miss the top 4 in the 23/24 season but their squad is looking quite stacked now with the signings they've made and hardly anyone has left. If they don't challenge for the league title again it will be a failure for them definitely.

Aaron Ramsey has returned home to sign for boyhood club Cardiff City on a two-year deal.

Lionel Messi has completed his move to David Beckham's MLS franchise Inter Miami on a free transfer.

They've spent a fortune and probably have the 2nd best squad on paper now. They have to challenege for the league title again.

Interestingly they have also impressed hugely because of coaching and tactics as well as spending ££ for making the champions league and we wouldn’t have predicted this this time last year!

I don't know know, I thought they might get Top 4 last year. They've done well to take a place (helped a lot by Chelsea and Liverpool's implosion) and are building from a position of strength. Pressure is on this season though! A bad start and there will be kittens.

Brighton have rejected a second Chelsea bid, believed to be about £70m, for midfielder Moises Caicedo.

 

The Ecuador international asked to leave Brighton in January amid interest from Arsenal.

 

Brighton refused and Caicedo subsequently signed a new contract in March that runs to 2027.

 

However, he remains of huge interest to a number of Premier League clubs, with Chelsea most keen to sign the 21-year-old.

Burnley have announced the arrival of Switzerland international Zeki Amdouni on a five-year-deal from Basel.

 

The 22-year-old striker scored 12 goals in the Swiss Super League last season and was the top scorer in the UEFA Conference League with seven goals.

Leeds United have announced the signing of Ethan Ampadu from Chelsea.

 

The 22-year-old Wales international has penned a four-year contract at Elland Road.

 

It ends Ampadou’s six-year spell at Chelsea, where he made 12 first-team appearances.
