Transfer news LIVE: All the deals from this summer’s thrilling window

Arsenal City raid

Mikel Arteta has been urged to sign Julian Alvarez from Manchester City.

The Argentine forward has been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium and William Gallas believes he would be a “great signing” for Arsenal.

Gallas told Genting Casino: “He is a world champion, Copa America winner, won the Premier League twice in a row and won the Champions League. 

“He has played most of City’s important games and is a starter for Argentina, he would bring so much winning experience and… wants to reach his very highest level by playing as many minutes as possible. 

“Alvarez would take Arsenal to the next level. I don’t know if he could score 20 goals but he can play on the flank or behind the striker and be very influential.” 

More on Guehi

Newcastle have opened talks with Crystal Palace over a move for Marc Guehi.

Guehi has rejected a new contract at Selhurst Park and his current deal expires in 2026.

According to The Athletic, the Magpies have now made a move to sign the centre-back.

The England international has also had interest from Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United.

Bayern turn down Man Utd

Manchester United have seen a joint bid for Bayern Munich stars Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui rejected.

De Ligt has not travelled with the Bayern squad to South Korea for their pre-season games, as he eyes an exit.

Mazraoui, who also played under the Red Devils’ boss Erik ten Hag at Ajax, could come in to compete with Diogo Dalot for the right-back spot.

The Manchester giants hoped their joint bid would be enough to secure the targets but the offer was rejected by the Bundesliga giants, according to The Athletic.

It is not yet known how much was put on the table in order to snap up the pair, though United’s £30million bid for De Ligt was turned down last week.

Agent Rafaela Pimenta, who represents both players, was reportedly shocked that Bayern changed their stance especially after new manager Vincent Kompany informed the defenders they were surplus to requirements ahead of the coming window.

De Ligt and Mazraoui have reportedly agreed personal terms on five-year deals at Old Trafford.

Hammers medical

West Ham have agreed a deal to sign Argentine midfielder Guido Rodriguez.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the 30-year-old is set to undergo a medical on Saturday before signing his contract.

Rodriguez has been a free agent since leaving Real Betis earlier this summer.

He had previously agreed to join Barcelona before the move collapsed.
