The midfielder flies in for negotiations after Arsenal makes a "big bid" for the striker.


According to reports, Arsenal have made a hefty bid for long-term striker target Benjamin Sesko.

Spanish news outlet Fijaches claims Arsenal has made an offer of €70 million to RB Leipzig for the 21-year-old.

Hayters TV understands, however, that a deal for Sesko is unlikely to be completed this month due to RB Leipzig's high demands.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports that midfielder Sverre Nypan arrived in London on Sunday night for negotiations with Arsenal.

Manchester City is also reportedly interested in the 18-year-old prodigy, who now plays for Rosenborg in his home Norway.

According to Sky Sports, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund remain interested in buying Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko this week.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle will not sell Alexander Isak this month, despite the fact that he is still Arsenal's "dream" striker acquisition.

According to Sky Sports, Chelsea defender Renato Veiga has reached Italy in preparation for finalizing his loan transfer to Juventus.

Romano adds that Chelsea will have a "busy week" before the transfer market closes since the Blues are eager to sign Mathys Tel, a forward for Bayern Munich.

Axel Disasi, a defender for Chelsea, may be leaving, though, as journalist Pete O'Rourke claims that Aston Villa is interested in a loan deal.

Dean Huijsen, a Bournemouth defender, is also a target for Chelsea, according to Romano, with the 19-year-old's contract apparently including a release clause this summer.

Manchester United are preparing to make a third proposal for Lecce's Patrick Dorgu, but the Serie A club's president, Sticchi Damiani, claims the club is attempting to "resist" United's approach.

According to Sky Sports, Dorgu's acquisition would allow Tyrell Malacia to move out on loan this window.

According to the Daily Mail, Bayer Leverkusen is in talks with Manchester City about signing offensive midfielder James McAtee this month.

Borussia Dortmund, Stuttgart, and Mainz are also reportedly interested in the 22-year-old.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own.

Barcelona dealt enormous injury blow ahead of Inter and Real Madrid clashes.

In a heartbreaking evening, Barcelona came back from two goals down against Inter in the Champions League semi-final first leg. The Blaugrana will believe they should have won the game after losing twice from set pieces. Now they're calculating the expense. After only 42 minutes, French defender Jules Kounde collapsed on the pitch, clutching the back of his calf. He had to be replaced by Eric Garcia, who performed admirably as a right-back out of position. Kounde's injury has raised concerns ahead of a number of critical games. Kounde will be tested on Thursday, but it appears that he has a muscle problem, most likely more serious than a grade tear. According to Sport, Kounde will miss their La Liga match against Real Valladolid, their Champions League return leg in Milan against Inter, and their decisive Clasico against Real Madrid the following weekend. Kounde was seen limping as he exited the stadium, telling the cameras, 'We'll see tomorrow'.
