Arsenal are preparing to make a concrete move for Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers as Mikel Arteta prioritises a left winger addition this summer. The Gunners have been credited with a “genuine interest” in the 23-year-old, with Standard reporting that an opening bid is expected to arrive sooner rather than later. Rogers is widely anticipated to leave Villa Park following a season in which he helped the club qualify for the Europa League in 2025/26.

Manchester United have reportedly opened negotiations with Brighton and Hove Albion over a move for Swedish midfielder Yasin Ayari, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.

Ayari was sent out on loan on a couple of occasions to gain regular playing time and accelerate his development as a professional footballer. Those loan spells clearly paid off, as the midfielder returned to establish himself as a key starter for Brighton last season, contributing four goals…

Chelsea are accelerating their efforts to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan this summer, with the French international reportedly open to a fresh challenge. The Blues have been left unimpressed by their current goalkeeping options, with both Filip Jorgensen and Robert Sanchez failing to convince at Stamford Bridge. According to Milan News 24, Chelsea have emerged as a serious potential destination for Maignan as they seek a high-quality option between the posts.

The Uruguayan was a regular starter under former manager Ruben Amorim but found himself on the periphery once Michael Carrick took charge of the club. Ugarte started only…
