⚽ Chelsea Target PSG's Kolo Muani, Garnacho Spotted in Villa Shirt & Arsenal's Martinelli Linked with Bayern
Download MP3Hello and welcome back to Transfer News Podcast, I'm your host Archer, and if you thought the summer transfer window was quiet, think again because we've got some absolute crackers for you today. From Chelsea making moves in the striker market to some eyebrow-raising social media activity from a certain Manchester United winger, we're covering all the latest Premier League transfer developments that have got everyone talking.
Let's kick things off with some big news from Stamford Bridge where Chelsea have reportedly opened talks for Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani. This could be exactly the kind of clinical finisher Chelsea need to solve their goalscoring woes, and given their recent spending spree, you'd imagine they have the financial firepower to make this happen.
Staying in West London, Fulham have apparently offered Kenny Tete a three-year deal to keep the defender at Craven Cottage. It's a smart move by the Cottagers to tie down a player who's been consistent for them, and with the way the transfer market is inflating, securing your key players early is always good business.
Now here's one that'll get Manchester United fans talking - Alejandro Garnacho has been spotted wearing an Aston Villa shirt, which has inevitably fueled speculation about a potential exit from Old Trafford. Look, players wear all sorts of kit for various reasons, but in the current climate, every little gesture gets analyzed to death, and this certainly won't help calm any nerves among United supporters.
Speaking of Manchester United connections, there's been talk about Paul Pogba potentially returning to the Premier League, but according to our sources, no deal has been agreed yet for the French midfielder. Given his injury history and time away from top-level football, any potential move would certainly be a gamble for whichever club decides to take the plunge.
In some non-Premier League news that caught my attention, Damien Duff has reportedly walked out on Shelbourne ahead of their UEFA Champions League campaign. It's a shocking move from the former Chelsea and Newcastle winger turned manager, and you have to feel for Shelbourne fans who were probably dreaming of European nights.
Back to Premier League matters, and there are whispers that Arsenal might be looking to offload Gabriel Martinelli, with Bayern Munich reportedly showing interest in the Brazilian winger. If true, this would be a massive story considering how highly rated Martinelli has been at the Emirates, though perhaps his playing time concerns are driving these rumors.
Liverpool fans will be interested to hear Jeremie Frimpong's comments about potentially filling Trent Alexander-Arnold's 'big boots' should the England right-back move on. The Bayer Leverkusen defender certainly has the confidence and attacking attributes that Liverpool value in their full-backs.
Chelsea are back in the news with reports suggesting Nicolas Jackson is not for sale despite ongoing speculation about his future. The Senegalese striker has shown flashes of brilliance but inconsistency too, so it'll be interesting to see if he can establish himself as Chelsea's main man up front.
Finally, in some Scottish football news, Andreas Cornelius is set to join Ross County, which should provide the Danish striker with regular first-team football after his time in various European leagues.
