<\/a>Liverpool get Bradley Barcola boost?<\/p>\n

Liverpool remain interested in signing Bradley Barcola this summer as the Reds bid to talk Paris Saint-Germain down from their \u00a3140m asking price.<\/p>\n

But Liverpool could have received a boost by the news that PSG are set to sign Monaco\u2019s France international winger Maghnes Akliouche in a \u00a342.8m deal.<\/p>\n

Could PSG already be lining up Barcola\u2019s replacement in the 24-year-old Akliouche?<\/p>\n

<\/a>Man Utd ‘learn Lewis Hall decision’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Newcastle are determined to keep Lewis Hall this summer, even if Manchester United are interested in a \u00a360m transfer.<\/p>\n

Hall, 21, has emerged as Manchester United\u2019s No 1 target for left back but Newcastle do not want to sell another first-team player this summer, with Bruno Guimaraes set to follow Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon out of the club.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to The Athletic<\/a>, who report that Newcastle are insisting that Hall is not for sale.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Mohamed Salah \u2018in talks\u2019 to join Turkish side Trabzonspor on free transfer<\/p>\n

Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor say they have begun transfer discussions with Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian is available on a free transfer after leaving Liverpool at the end of last season, and the club\u2019s chairman said he hopes that a deal will be finalised later this week.<\/p>\n

“Negotiations have been launched to transfer professional footballer Mohamed Salah, who is in a free status, to our club,” the club said in a statement on Turkey’s public disclosure platform.<\/p>\n

Salah left Liverpool this summer after nine years, having scored 257 goals in 442 appearances, where he won the Premier League twice and the Champions League once.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Why Arsenal want Bruno Guimaraes so badly<\/p>\n

Arsenal look likely to bring Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes into the club this summer, but what will the Brazilian midfielder bring to Mikel Arteta’s side? Archie Corbett <\/strong>takes a look at Bruno’s strengths, his suitability for Arsenal’s tactical setup, and which of the current Arsenal squad would benefit the most from his arrival.<\/p>\n

Why Arsenal Want Bruno Guimaraes So Badly<\/p>\n

<\/a>Arsenal close in on Guimaraes with \u2018agreement\u2019 reached<\/p>\n

Good morning and welcome. Here\u2019s more on today\u2019s top story: Arsenal\u2019s move for Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes is finally nearing completion.<\/p>\n

The Gunners are confident of finally singing the 28-year-old midfielder, whose future has been the subject of frenzied speculation for weeks ever since it emerged that he had indicated that he wanted to leave Tyneside for the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

Guimaraes reported for duty at Newcastle\u2019s pre-season training camp in La Manga in Spain on Monday, just hours after Newcastle rejected an opening bid from Arsenal.<\/p>\n

It now appears that significant progress has been made with the Premier League champions closing in on a deal which would see them finally capture a man they have long coveted.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have known for months that they might have to make a decision over a player they did not want to sell, while holding a valuation \u2013 understood to be in the region of \u00a380m \u2013 at which business might have to be done.<\/p>\n

David Ornstein<\/strong><\/a> reported earlier that Arsenal are nearing \u201ctotal agreement\u201d with Newcastle. The Magpies had rejected Arsenal\u2019s first bid out of hand.<\/p>\n
