Wednesday delivered some huge stories as another club joined the race for an in-demand Arsenal star.

Plus, Man Utd are at risk of losing the 'next Bukayo Saka' for a trifling sum and Juventus are stepping up their pursuit of Mason Greenwood. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Exclusive: Leicester join Nketiah race

FootballTransfers can reveal that promotion-chasing Leicester are the latest side to pursue Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah.

Nketiah could be key to the Gunners signing a big-name striker and their scouts were once again in attendance to watch top target Viktor Gyokeres.

But there is a solid argument to be made that the north London club should be looking at a Premier League striker instead.

Man Utd outgoings

Man Utd are in serious danger of losing 16-year-old wonderkid Bendito Mantato, who has been likened to Bukayo Saka.

While Mantato could leave, Mason Greenwood will leave and Juventus are stepping up their pursuit of the forward.

Barcelona x Arsenal

Arsenal and Barcelona will meet each other in the transfer market this summer, with the Gunners keen to beat the Blaugrana to a major signing.

A Barcelona transfer could also unlock a sensational move back to the Premier League for an Arsenal target.

Player profiles

Man Utd are interested in Nice full-back Melvin Bard and the Frenchman could become a key player at Old Trafford.

Bard has been solid this season, but he has been nowhere near as impressive as left-back Maximilian Mittelstadt, who is set to star for Germany at Euro 2024.

Rodrygo to the Premier League?

Real Madrid star Rodrygo continues to be linked with a move to England, with Arsenal at the front of the queue for the Brazilian.

But would such a move be a good choice? The data suggests otherwise.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Man City selling Cole Palmer will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in recent history.

PSG have already held transfer talks with not one but two Barcelona stars.

In-demand head coach Gary O'Neil has blown his future wide open after a public tirade against Wolves' owners.

Man Utd have received a huge boost in their pursuit of Ivan Toney.

Man Utd are lining up a former coach of theirs as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag.

Romelu Lukaku already knows the club he wants to play for next season - and to no one's surprise, it's not Chelsea!

Aston Villa can ruin a huge Bayer Leverkusen transfer by swooping for one of Europe's biggest talents.

Chelsea youngster Alfie Gilchrist has committed his future to the Blues, but he won't be playing at Stamford Bridge next season.

Lastly, Jadon Sancho is ready to facilitate a permanent move to Borussia Dortmund by taking a massive pay cut.
