Calafiori to Arsenal ‘imminent’
Riccardo Calafiori’s transfer to Arsenal is “imminent” according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.
Bologna had been holding up the deal due to a row over a sell on clause owed to Basel.
The player has already agreed personal terms with The Gunners.
Marseille want Nketiah
Marseille are working on a deal to sign Eddie Nketiah, according to The Mirror.
The club made an opening offer to the Gunners last week to kickstart negotiations.
Marseille favour taking the striker on a loan with obligation to buy.
Bournemouth not expecting to sell Solanke
Bournemouth are expecting Dominic Solanke to stay this summer – despite his £65million release clause.
The striker, 26, drew interest from Tottenham and Arsenal after blasting 19 Premier League goals last season.
Cherries owner Bill Foley confirmed Solanke has a set fee in his contract which, if met, would allow the forward to negotiate a move to other clubs.
Yet the American, 79, said: “I believe Dom is going to be with us this coming year.
“He has a release clause, which is very expensive.
“We shouldn’t reveal anything about the contract but that area (£65m) sounds roughly correct. I guess if someone comes for him, we are going to have to replace him.
“We have two or three candidates that we have lined up. But I believe Dom will be here next year and I believe he is going to score 21 or 22 goals.”
Setford signs for Arsenal
Tommy Setford took to Instagram to celebrate signing for Arsenal after joining from Ajax.
The 18-year old joined for a fee that could rise to £1million.
He said: “I’m very proud to announce my transfer to Arsenal & even prouder that I can now officially call myself a ‘Gunner’.
I2 look forward to developing further at this amazing club, first up is our pre-season tour to America. Can’t wait to get started!”
