Arsenal transfer news: Eberechi Eze saga takes fresh twist as Gunners agree deal
Arsenal have been heavily linked with Eberechi Eze throughout the summer transfer window but it's Tottenham who are the favourites for his signature, while Oleksandr Zincheko could be on his way out It all starts here. Arsenal will kick off their 2025-26 Premier League campaign on Sunday, travelling to face Manchester United at Old Trafford. But the start of the new season doesn't mean the end of the Gunners' transfer business. In fact, things are set to get much busier after a relatively quiet few weeks after the signing of Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker's arrival took Arsenal's summer spending to £195million, as Mikel Arteta bids to build a squad capable of finally winning the Premier League title. It's not all about incomings, though. Sales will be needed to offset the Gunners' spending, with a number of exits are in the pipeline. Here's a round-up of the latest transfer news from the Emirates. Eze to miss Crystal Palace opener Eberechi Eze is expected to be left out of Crystal Palace's opening game of the season as he edges closer to a move to north London - but not with Arsenal. Tottenham have been installed as the favourites to sign the England international after Spurs star James Maddison suffered a serious knee injury in pre-season. Eze, 27, is open to joining Tottenham as he wants to play Champions League football, according to the Sun. Sources add that the Palace midfielder is unlikely to face Chelsea on Sunday at Stamford Bridge. Should Arsenal hijack Tottenham's move for Eberechi Eze? Have your say in the comments section. Fenerbahce agree deal for Zinchenko Oleksandr Zinchenko reportedly has the chance to sign for Fenerbahce after Arsenal agreed a deal for his departure. Zinchenko, 28, is open to leaving Arsenal after entering the final year of his contract. Turkish outlet Sporx claim that Fenerbahce have been in talks with the Gunners for a week, adding that their sporting director, Devin Ozek, has met with Arsenal's Andrea Berta to discuss the Ukrainian defender. The two clubs are said to have agreed a €3m (£2.6m) loan fee with a €10m (£8.6m) option to buy at the end of the season, with all eyes now on Zinchenko's decision. De Jong plan drawn up Arsenal are planning to sign Frenkie de Jong as a free agent next summer, it's claimed. De Jong's current terms with Barcelona expire in June 2026 and despite indicating that he wants to stay, the 28-year-old midfielder is yet to sign a new contract amid their well-documented financial woes. Fichajes report that Barca need to beware, as Arsenal are plotting a move. Arteta sees De Jong as the perfect man to compliment his current midfield options and believes that his experience would be greatly beneficial.

Manchester City squad too big and ‘not healthy', warns Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola said he was delighted with his new signings' immediate impact in Manchester City's 4-0 rout of Wolves but insisted his squad is too big and at risk of being unhealthy. The summer arrivals Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki both scored in the victory at Molineux, where goalkeeper Ederson and midfielder Savinho were absent amid doubts over their long-term futures. The City manager said the club's hierarchy must 'find a solution' before the transfer window closes next month. The injured City pair Rodri and Phil Foden were in the stands, while Guardiola also cited Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol, who are both nearing returns to match fitness. Ederson has been linked with a move to Galatasaray while Savinho is of interest to Tottenham. Rico Lewis, who is wanted by Nottingham Forest, started at full-back in a sign he could stay at City. Asked if he was happy with his squad after the victory at Wolves, Guardiola replied: 'Too many people. It's not about Eddy [Ederson], today [there] was [no] Rodri, Phil, Kovacic, Savinho and Josko. On the bench we had Nathan [Aké] and Gündo [Ilkay Gündogan]. I like a deep squad to compete in all competitions but I don't want to leave players at home. It's not healthy. You cannot create a good vibe or atmosphere to compete. 'The club has known [about] it since last season but the situation is what it is. In the next two weeks, people will talk with players and agents to find a solution. We have to reduce the squad because it will be difficult to sustain the vibe of the team.' Wolves paid tribute to Diogo Jota in their first competitive game since the death of their former player and his brother, André Silva. 'Jota and his brother are in our minds and were in our hearts before, during and after the game,' said the Wolves head coach, their Portuguese compatriot Vítor Pereira. 'They are still with us and we tried to do our best to honour them as players, people, because of their families. We will keep him in our hearts for the future and he will be with us for ever.' Jota's parents and his wife, Rute Cardoso, were in attendance, along with his former teammate Rúben Neves and Portugal's manager, Roberto Martinez.

Unprecedented strike action shows strength of feeling in racing
S o, is this it? For decades British racing has been signalling distress only to be ignored by the government and still survive. The unprecedented 'strike' whereby the British Horseracing Authority will cancel all four race meetings on Wednesday, September 10, to protest against a betting tax hike comes after long years of ebbing tide. Unless the government changes the way it blows, this time we really could be on the rocks. The plan, as explained in The Sunday Times, is fascinating on many counts. For its shock tactics, for it being the first significant move since Lord Allen took up his BHA chair, and for its timing on the eve of the classic Doncaster meeting at which Sir Keir Starmer last year became the first prime minister to attend the St Leger since Winston Churchill in 1953. But as important as any, it represents a unified front from racing's two biggest racecourse groups, the Jockey Club and Arena Racing, the former owning Kempton Park and Carlisle, the latter Uttoxeter and Doncaster.
