Fabrzio Romano has provided the latest onRiccardo Calafiori and Arsenal.

He said: "Arsenal made an enquiry to understand the situation of the player. I mean, it’s also normal when you are looking for a left-footed player, a left-foot defender. Calafiori is one of the best available now on the market.” “Arsenal have been showing their interest in the situation, but at the moment, it’s NOT a negotiation. There is no bid, there is no contact with Bologna, so it’s just an enquiry to understand the situation of Calafiori.”

Arsenal's prospects of landing Nottingham Forest defender Murillo have improved thanks to Juventus being forced out of the race for the Brazilian, according to reports in Italy.

Journalist Alfredo Pedulla told Sport Italia:“With the arrival of Douglas Luiz and Adzic, Juventus cannot sign other non-EU players, so any talk about Murillo from Nottingham Forest or other candidates has no reason to exist, we are at wastepaper level.

“Juventus will have to get a central defender, but at least we are at the level of evaluations because – at least in these days – most of the investments are concentrated on midfield and attacking midfield.”

Chelseaare also interested in the centre-back, but Forest have reportedly put a price tag of €82m (£70m) on the player.

Real Madrid are open to selling Andriy Lunin, according to The Sun.

The Ukrainian has been associated with Arsenal as a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale.

PSG have offered midfielder Manuel Ugarte to Arsenal as well as other top Premier League sides, according to The Sun.

The Uruguay star has been courted by Man Utd and has had a price of €60m put on his head.

Napoli boss Antonio Conte has outlined the situation regarding Victor Osimhen, who has been linked to Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG this summer.

He said: "As far as Osimhen is concerned, just as I knew very well about the situation of Kvara, Di Lorenzo, Anguissa, Lobotka, on which I have placed an absolute veto.

"Having said that, I know what the situation is regarding Osimhen. I know that there are agreements, that it is a situation different from all the others. I can only assist. He is a player of the highest level, exceptional, but I cannot enter into any discussion because it is part of previous agreements which have been clearly stated to me."

Arsenal are reportedly only willing to part ways with Albert Sambi Lokonga for 15 million Euros.

The report is according to ABC Sevilla, who report Spanish side Sevilla are interested in Sambi Lokonga's services. However, they cannot afford to meet Arsenal's valuation of the player.

Sambi Lokonga has spent the last two seasons out on loan at Crystal Palace and Luton, are Arsenal would prefer a permanent transfer for the player this time around. Although, the option for another loan is still on the table.

Arsenal are set to earn millions from Omari Hutchinson's sale from Chelsea to Ipswich. Hutchinson left Arsenal to join Chelsea last year and was loaned out to Ipswich last season where he helped the club to promotion to the Premier League.

Now he has made his stay at Ipswich permanent and BBC journalist Nizaar Kinsella has reported Arsenal have a 15% sell on clause meaning they will earn £3m from the deal.

Arsenal will benefit from Chelsea's £22.5m sale of Omari Hutchinson to Ipswich, with the Gunners having inserted a sell-on clause when the youngster moved to Stamford Bridge in 2022.

That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who confirmed that the winger would be having a medical at Ipswich after agreeing a deal with Chelsea.
