TRENDING RUMORS
– Arsenal are interested in Chelsea and England international winger Noni Madueke, reports the Independent. The Gunners have reportedly discussed a swoop for the 23-year-old after struggling to make a breakthrough in talks for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, and the Blues would be open to parting ways with Madueke if they receive an offer worth £50 million. Madueke directly contributed to 10 goals in 32 Premier League matches last season.
– A player-swap deal is being explored by Chelsea and Manchester United involving forward Christopher Nkunku and winger Alejandro Garnacho, reports the Daily Telegraph. Both players are keen to leave their respective clubs and are “weighing up” the move this summer. Garnacho, 20, has been strongly linked with an exit from Old Trafford and appears to be out of manager Ruben Amorim’s plans. The 27-year-old Nkunku has struggled to establish himself as a starter at Stamford Bridge, with 18 of his 27 Premier League appearances coming from the bench in the last campaign.
