Arsenal are reportedly plotting a blockbuster move for Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez in 2027, having failed to land him during the summer transfer window. The Argentina international stayed at Atletico despite interest from Arsenal and Barcelona, leaving Mikel Arteta’s attacking options unchanged heading into the new campaign.

Merson said: “I think they’ll win the Premier League, but I think they’ll fall short in the Champions League because of not having that extra person up front. Havertz and…

The Reds have made an unbeaten start to the season, picking up successive draws before securing that maiden victory under the Spaniard’s leadership this week. Iraola replaced Arne Slot, who won the Premier League in his first season but oversaw a damaging second campaign that left Liverpool trophyless and finishing fifth.

Arsenal are reportedly eyeing a January move for Chelsea winger Pedro Neto, with the club looking to address a significant gap in their attacking options. The Gunners had a busy summer transfer window, bringing in five permanent signings as they looked to bolster their squad ahead of the new campaign. Despite the activity, Arsenal made only one forward acquisition in Christos Tzolis, a decision that raised eyebrows among supporters and analysts alike. The club parted ways with two left wingers in Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli during the summer, leaving a noticeable void on that flank. Tzolis is considered inexperienced…
Burnley’s miserable start to the Championship season deepened on Saturday as Bristol City claimed a dramatic 2-1 victory at Turf Moor to leave the Clarets rock bottom of the table.

Everton made a late move to sign Aston Villa centre-forward Tammy Abraham on the final day of the transfer window, according to BBC journalist Sami Mokbel. A deal between the two clubs was reportedly agreed upon, but Abraham himself turned down the opportunity to join the Toffees. The 6ft 4in striker instead chose to remain at Villa Park, ending Everton’s hopes of adding a senior centre-forward to their squad before the window closed.
