🔥 Deadline Day Chaos: Liverpool Stars Pursued, Chelsea's Fernandez Shock & Late Moves Drop
Download MP3Hello and welcome to the Transfer News Podcast, I'm Archer, and it is an absolutely chaotic deadline day here in the Premier League. We've got exits confirmed, loan deals flying left and right, and clubs scrambling to get business over the line before the window slams shut. Let's dive straight into the madness.
Starting with Liverpool, and Inter Milan are reportedly pursuing Curtis Jones on loan. The Italian giants want to bolster their midfield options and see the Englishman as an ideal temporary solution. With Liverpool's squad depth, this could be one to watch as the clock ticks down.
Manchester City are keeping tabs on Trent Alexander-Arnold, which is quite the development. The full-back's future has been a hot topic, and City monitoring his situation adds another layer of intrigue to an already complicated contract scenario.
However, Alexander-Arnold won't be heading to Real Madrid this window. Reports confirm there's no exit to the Spanish capital happening right now, so the defender stays put for the moment.
Tottenham could pay five million pounds for Andrew Robertson, which feels like remarkable value if true. Thomas Frank would be getting an experienced left-back who knows the Premier League inside out, though convincing Liverpool to sell to a rival might be the bigger challenge.
Mohamed Salah remains a prime target for the Saudi Pro League, with clubs over there still very keen on bringing the Egyptian superstar to the Middle East. His contract situation continues to generate massive interest from multiple Saudi sides.
Ibrahima Konate's contract situation at Liverpool hasn't been settled yet, adding another name to the list of Reds players whose futures need clarifying. Arne Slot will want these contract matters resolved sooner rather than later.
Moving to Chelsea, and the Blues are open to selling Enzo Fernandez, which is a stunning turnaround given what they paid for him. Liam Rosenior appears willing to reshape his midfield significantly.
Chelsea have also made a move for Jacquet, looking to add more young talent to their already bulging squad. The recruitment strategy under the current ownership continues at pace.
Brighton have rejected an approach for Lewis Dunk, with Fabian Hurzeler making it clear his captain isn't going anywhere. The Seagulls are holding firm on their key defensive leader.
Nottingham Forest have made a thirty-five million pound bid for Jean-Philippe Mateta, showing serious ambition from Sean Dyche's side. However, reports suggest Mateta only wants a move to Milan from Palace, which could complicate Forest's pursuit significantly.
Aston Villa are targeting Ruben Loftus-Cheek, with Unai Emery looking to add midfield reinforcements. Villa are also interested in Mateta themselves, so there's clearly competition for the Crystal Palace striker's signature.
Oliver Glasner is on Manchester United's radar as they search for a permanent manager, with Michael Carrick currently in interim charge. The Crystal Palace boss has impressed many with his work at Selhurst Park.
Atletico Madrid want Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes, which would be a significant loss for Rob Edwards. The Brazilian has been excellent since moving to Molineux and is attracting serious continental interest.
Manchester City have made a move for Anderson, continuing their pursuit of young talent to complement their established stars. Pep Guardiola's side remain active even with their squad strength.
Everton are eyeing Arsenal's Ben White, which would be quite the coup for David Moyes. Convincing Arsenal to part with the versatile defender will be extremely difficult though.
Barcelona want Marcus Rashford to stay beyond his loan spell, indicating the forward has impressed during his time in Catalonia. His future remains uncertain with plenty of interest from multiple clubs.
Arsenal are monitoring Valentino Livramento, with Mikel Arteta looking at options to strengthen his full-back positions. The young defender has caught the eye with consistent Premier League performances.
Bournemouth are keen on Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri, with Andoni Iraola wanting to add the highly-rated teenager to his squad. Whether Arsenal allow him to leave remains to be seen.
Some confirmed business now. Nottingham Forest have agreed a deal for Davide Frattesi, which represents a major statement signing. The Italian international brings quality and experience to Sean Dyche's midfield.
West Ham have confirmed Lucas Paqueta's exit, ending the Brazilian's time in east London. Nuno Espirito Santo will need to replace the creative midfielder quickly.
West Ham are bidding for Taylor Harwood-Bellis as they look to reinvest that Paqueta money, targeting the Southampton defender to strengthen their backline.
And finally, Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko has completed his medical at Ajax, with the Ukrainian set to depart the Emirates. Mikel Arteta is reshaping his squad and the left-back heads to the Netherlands.
