Arsenal and Chelsea are locked in a transfer battle to sign Barcelona midfielder Marc Bernal, according to reports from Caught Offside. Chelsea have been working hard to rebuild their squad this summer under the guidance of manager Xabi Alonso following a difficult campaign last season. While the Blues had previously focused on recruiting highly talented young players, they have shifted attention toward adding more experienced names to their ranks. Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing Danny Welbeck from Brighton and Hove Albion and Jordan Henderson from Brentford as part of that rebuild. Despite interest in Henderson, Chelsea have also earmarked…
Manchester United have reportedly done groundwork to sign AFC Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, who is also a priority target for Chelsea this summer. The Red Devils have made midfield reinforcement their main focus following the departure of Casemiro and a serious knee injury suffered by Manuel Ugarte. United have already moved to strengthen their engine room by signing Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa this transfer window. Despite those additions, the club are reportedly planning to bring in a third midfielder and have identified Scott as a serious option to fill that role. Chelsea remain the…
Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard lifted the Premier League trophy this season, becoming the first Gunners player to do so in 22 years. The Norwegian captain has been Mikel Arteta’s voice on the pitch, serving as a calming and respected presence within the squad for several years. A year ago, Arteta asked the entire squad to vote on who their captain should be, and the resounding answer was Odegaard. However, a significant problem has been developing around the skipper that Arsenal must now address sooner rather than later. Odegaard arrived from Real Madrid in August 2021 for just £30m, a fee that…
Chelsea are reportedly keeping a close eye on Bayer Leverkusen forward Kerim Alajbegovic, according to a report from The Athletic. The Blues overhauled their left flank last year, purchasing Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United and Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund to strengthen their attacking options. Garnacho failed to deliver the expected impact at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea have since allowed him to join Aston Villa on loan this summer. That loan arrangement with Villa reportedly includes a conditional obligation to buy, signalling that Garnacho’s time as a Chelsea player could effectively be over. Gittens endured a difficult debut season due…

Neto produced an impressive campaign for Chelsea last season, registering 10 goals and 10 assists across all competitions to total 20 goal contributions. The Portuguese winger is currently valued at £51 million on Transfermarkt and is contracted to Chelsea until 2031, giving the Blues significant leverage in any negotiations. Matheus Cunha and Amad Diallo served as Carrick’s preferred wide options…
Arsenal enter the 2026/27 season as Premier League champions for the first time in over two decades, having pipped Manchester City to the title in a dramatic final day. The triumph was not without its pain, however, as Mikel Arteta’s side suffered heartbreak in Europe, losing the Champions League final on penalties. Despite already possessing one of the strongest squads in England, Arsenal have moved to strengthen their ranks ahead of the title defence. The most significant incoming business of the summer so far is the addition of Ecuador international Piero Hincapie, who has made his loan from Bayer Leverkusen…
Chelsea are working to secure a deal for Brentford midfielder Jordan Henderson, according to transfer expert David Ornstein of The Athletic. The Blues are currently leading the race to sign the 36-year-old, who still has 12 months remaining on his existing Brentford contract. Brentford are prepared to allow Henderson to leave for free this summer, and the player himself is open to making the move to Stamford Bridge. Fabrizio Romano has also reported on X that two additional clubs, beyond Chelsea, are showing interest in the former Liverpool captain. Chelsea’s pursuit of Henderson reflects a broader shift in their transfer…
