Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Edu vow, Jorginho contract, Isak, and Sesko linked

Arsenal reject Sancho

Arsenal have turned down the chance to sign Manchester United ace Jadon Sancho this summer.

Sancho has fallen out of favour at United after a public spat with manager Erik ten Hag, who remained in charge after winning the FA Cup.

The winger spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund and played in the Champions League final.

According to reports in Italy, United have been offering the England international out and are looking to make a profit.

The Gunners were offered the chance to sign the 24-year-old but opted against it, just like Chelsea did last month.

Callan Hamill interest

St Johnstone defender Callan Hamill is eyed by both Celtic and Rangers.

Hamill is currently training at Arsenal during the summer transfer window.

The two Scottish giants are looking at signing the centre-back.

That is despite the 15-year-old being primed to move to England when he turns 16.

Djourou’s new job

Former Arsenal star Johan Djourou has sunk his teeth into a tasty Swiss role … by becoming boss of the country’s national women’s team.

The ex-defender ended an 11-year spell with the Gunners in 2014. He won 76 Switzerland caps.

The Swiss FA has now appointed Djourou, 37, as sporting director of the female national side.

He will oversee Aston Villa superstar striker Alisha Lehmann, 25, as well as Tottenham’s 28-year-old defender Luana Buhler.

The Ivory Coast-born ace will also promote the game ahead of Switzerland staging the Women’s Euros next year.

Xhaka to start vs England

Granit Xhaka is expected to start against England on Saturday – despite struggling with an adductor problem.

The Switzerland captain was a doubt ahead of their Euros quarter final with the Three Lions in Dusseldorf after having a scan on the issue on Monday morning.

Former Arsenal midfielder Xhaka, 31, had treatment on the pitch during their 2-0 last 16 victory over Italy last week but was able to carry on.

However, those concerns have been put aside for now, despite the Swiss national team confirming he would be doing individual work today away from the squad.

It is understood that this is precautionary and Xhaka will return to full training with his teammates at their base in Stuttgart in the next 24 to 48 hours.
