Transfer news LIVE! Arsenal-Sesko ‘agreement’, Cunha boost, Man Utd near Dorgu deal

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira says Matheus Cunha needs to get his mind right after the striker stormed down the tunnel at Stamford Bridge instead of acknowledging the travelling supporters.

Cunha had a frustrating evening with just one half chance hooked wide of the target and only Matt Doherty, who poked home after an error from Robert Sanchez, bringing joy to the away fans.

Arsenal are still tracking several forward options for a potential signing this month, and they may have received a slight boost on one after comments from Wolves manager Vitor Pereira.

During Wolves’ loss to Chelsea last night, Matheus Cunha was substituted and went straight down the tunnel rather than onto the bench with his teammates.

This prompted Pereira to say after the game that he didn’t like the forwards’ “body language”.

“This is something that cannot happen again, the frustration is the frustration, I understand everything, we need to be together,” said Pereira.

“And together we can fix the problems and stay in the Premier League, if we start to complain about this and that, with this it won’t work.

“He’s [Cunha] committed to Wolves, but when you start to listen to the other clubs, I think he’s human, the players start to be a little bit… It’s normal in football,” he added.

Cunha is a reported target of several clubs, including Arsenal and Man Utd, and has so far delayed on agreeing a new contract at the Molineux.

Plenty of reports continue to emerge around the future of Marcus Rashford, though Fabrizio Romano has denied one rumour.

The Italian transfer guru says that “Monaco are not working on Marcus Rashford deal”, despite reports emerging that the club would be willing to pay almost all of his wages during a loan.

Instead, according to Romano, “Barcelona (depending on Ansu Fati’s exit) and Borussia Dortmund remain the two main options” if Rashford were to leave.

English media reported yesterday that Rashford is willing to stay and fight for his place at his boyhood club, and he has no issue with new manager Ruben Amorim.

On the subject of Southampton, it appears that the club are set to make a midfield signing.

Sky Sports reports that the Saints are close to completing a deal for Albert Gronbaek from Stade Rennais on loan.

The 23-year-old Denmark international midfielder will initially join until the end of the season, while the club have the option to purchase him for £12.7m at the end of the loan.

According to Sky Sports, RB Leipzig are targeting a move for Southampton forward Tyler Dibling.

Florian Plettenberg says that the German side “are willing to pay €30m for the winger”.

However, “Southampton want significantly more” than that fee, as they believe the 18-year-old will develop into a top player.

The Saints are also hoping to extend Dibling’s contract beyond the current deal, which runs until 2027.

Former Chelsea, Arsenal and PSG defender David Luiz has signed for Brazilian side Fortaleza.

The 37-year-old last played at Flamengo in his homeland, where he won the Copa Libertadores in 2022.

He has signed a two-year contract with his new club, having left Flamengo at the end of 2024.

The defender signed from Lens for €40m, plus add-ons, on a four-and-a-half year contract at the Etihad Stadium.

The 20-year-old will become the first Uzbekistan international to play in the Premier League.

The defender’s debut will take the number of nations represented in the competition, since its rebranding in 1992, to 126 and Uzbekistan will be the 19th with just a single player. 106 of those nations have had goalscorers.

Here is a look at Khusanov’s fellow trailblazers:

Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas reports that Omar Marmoush “is undergoing a medical with Manchester City today”.

“The Egypt international agreed in principle to a move to City last week, pending an agreement between the clubs,” adds Thomas.

The reported fee is claimed to be around the €80m mark.

More reports seemingly confirming that Alphonso Davies will sign a contract extension with Bayern Munich.

The Canadian had been targeted by Real Madrid as he ran into the last six months of his current contract, but both parties made a breakthrough in negotiations and Fabrizio Romano reports that they are “all set to proceed with [the] new deal soon”.

The rumour mill is in overdrive regarding Alejandro Garnacho, with Chelsea and Napoli appearing the most interested clubs.

Garnacho’s agent was spotted at Stamford Bridge last night for the match against Wolves, further fuelling rumours of a move to the capital.

However, it still seems as though Napoli are leading the race, with various reports claiming that they have already had a bid rejected, and that Garnacho has also agreed personal terms with the Italian side.

Conversely, Sky reports that the Argentine is not “actively” looking to leave Old Trafford.
