Man City sign Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan in fourth summer transfer
Tijjani Reijnders has joined Manchester City for an initial €55m (£46m) to give Pep Guardiola four signings this week. The Netherlands international has put pen to paper on a five-year deal at the Etihad Stadium and joins Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Rayan Cherki as the new faces in Guardiola's squad. All four were signed in time for the Club World Cup and could make their City debuts in the United States. Advertisement Reijnders, who scored 15 goals last season, and Cherki, form part of the midfield rebuild and the Dutchman said he had made a conscious effort to become more prolific. Reijnders was named the best midfielder in Serie A last season, and City agreed a £46m fee with AC Milan last week. Watch every Fifa Club World Cup game free on DAZN. Sign up here now While it then took time to finalise the move, Reijnders said he was delighted. 'I am ecstatic to be signing for Manchester City,' the 26-year-old said. 'City are one of the biggest teams in the world, with the best coach, world-class players and outstanding facilities. Under Pep Guardiola, City have won so many titles and I want to help keep that going with a lot more success in the coming years. 'It is also a dream come true to play in the Premier League. This league has seen many of the best Dutch players perform through the years and it's an inspiration to follow in their footsteps. Advertisement 'I'm a box-to-box midfielder who likes to join the build-up from the back. I like to help the attackers, create chances and try to score a goal by myself sometimes. As a midfielder, it's important to score goals as well. Two years ago, I didn't score that many goals and I worked on it that summer and seeing what I needed to do better in front of the goal. This season, it worked out and I got on the scoresheet more.' Director of football Hugo Viana added: 'Tijjani adds extra energy, composure and creativity to our midfield and working with Pep and our coaches will only see him go from strength to strength.'

Report: Gunners make £40m move for proven Premier League star
Arsenal Plot Summer Move for Ollie Watkins: Transfer Gathers Momentum Arsenal are making serious moves behind the scenes as they reignite their interest in Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins. First reported by Record, the North London club have reportedly cooled their interest in Sporting CP's Viktor Gyökeres due to financial constraints, and have now turned their attention back to Watkins — a boyhood Arsenal fan. Watkins Back on Arsenal's Radar The Gunners initially targeted Watkins in January, hoping to capitalise on Villa's need to sell either Jhon Durán or the former Brentford man. However, once Villa offloaded Durán to Al Nassr, that avenue was shut. But the situation has since shifted. Advertisement With Marcus Rashford's arrival on loan from Manchester United, Watkins' game time took a noticeable hit. The England forward, who tallied an impressive 17 goals and 14 assists last season, has reportedly grown frustrated about his lessening importance, opening the door for a potential Emirates switch. Financials Could Make This Deal Appealing Crucially, Record reports that Arsenal have already met with Watkins' representatives to discuss the deal's framework. There is believed to be a readiness for an urgent deal, especially as Villa's asking price is thought to be under the £40 million initially floated. The club's pivot away from Gyökeres — whose £68 million release clause is proving a stumbling block — makes Watkins an attractive, cost-effective alternative. With Benjamin Šeško now reportedly their top target, Watkins might represent the more pragmatic option in a challenging transfer market. A Move That Just Makes Sense Let's not overlook Watkins' personal connection to the club either. His long-standing affection for Arsenal is no secret. Speaking in 2020, Watkins shared: 'That's the dream, to play for Arsenal one day. But, you know, it's a long shot.' He added, 'I'm an Arsenal fan so Thierry Henry was my idol… he was the idol growing up really.' Advertisement This passion could translate into an emotionally charged and high-impact signing, especially for a player who already knows the pace and physicality of Premier League football. His previous London stint with Brentford only sweetens the deal further. A Perfect Fit for Arteta? Watkins' numbers speak for themselves. His combination of goals, assists, and hold-up play could provide Mikel Arteta's side with something they've lacked at times — a consistent Premier League-proven centre-forward with versatility and work rate. At 29, he's also in his prime, bringing both experience and hunger to a squad already brimming with talent. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement If the financials align and Watkins' desire is as strong as reported, Arsenal may finally be on the cusp of landing a striker tailor-made for their system and ambitions. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From the standpoint of an Arsenal supporter, this rumoured pursuit of Ollie Watkins feels like a long-overdue alignment of logic, passion, and practicality. First off, Watkins is Premier League ready — no need to 'adapt to the league' or adjust to Arteta's pace. He knows the demands. He thrives on the left, down the middle, and can drag defenders out of position — a pressing forward who's already delivered 30+ goal contributions in a single campaign. The emotional pull is another layer. 'That's the dream, to play for Arsenal one day.' That line alone will resonate with fans craving players who don't just wear the shirt — they believe in it. Advertisement Yes, he's not as flashy a name as Gyökeres or as hyped as Šeško, but at under £40 million, he's value for money in a market where prices are spiralling. Watkins could do for Arsenal what Gabriel Jesus was supposed to: offer movement, dynamism, and end product — only with greater physical presence and consistency in front of goal. If Arteta wants ready-made impact, emotional investment, and a genuine goalscorer who won't buckle under Premier League pressure, Watkins is the man. For many Gooners, this deal wouldn't just be smart — it would be poetic.

Matildas coach happy with emerging talent
New Matildas coach Joe Montemurro is encouraged by the 'generational change' that's occurring in the national women's squad ahead of next year's AFC Women's Asian Cup. Montemurro's Matildas' tenure officially started on Monday after his appointment as coach was announced earlier this month during Australia's two game-series against Argentina. The matches were the final games on Tom Sermanni's interim coaching stint, with an Australian squad minus a host of its star players – including Sam Kerr, Mary Fowler, Katrina Gorry, Ellie Carpenter and Hayley Raso – winning 2-0 and 4-1 in Melbourne and Canberra respectively. A host of fringe players – including Kahli Johnson, Amy Sayer, Jamilla Rankin, Leah Davidson and Bryleeh Henry – were given chances to prove themselves, with Montemurro happy with what he saw. 'The reality is there is a generational change,' the former coach of the female teams at Arsenal, Juventus and Lyon said. 'What we saw over the last few games is that there is an exciting group coming through. 'Part of my role is to make sure we have a level of sustainability through all the age groups. 'We have the opportunity to give players the opportunity to be part of the Matildas and give them every chance to ply their trade at the right level and at the highest level … (but) we need to find balance. It's not something we can do overnight.' A blend of experience and youth is expected in Montemurro's maiden Matildas squad for the upcoming games in Western Australia against Slovenia (June 26 and June 29), and Panama (July 5 and July 8). Montemurro promised a Matildas 'environment' that was 'safe, humble and honest'. 'That's the best starting point,' he said. 'It's a collective humility, it's a collective honesty and it's a collective selflessness.' However, any hopes that teenage midfielder Indiana Dos Santos had of being part of Montemurro's first squad have been dashed after the Sydney FC star ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in her keen during a Future Matildas program last week. Dos Santos, 17, was awarded the A-League women's young footballer of the year prize. 'I believe in God's plan, even when I don't understand it,' Dos Santos wrote in a social media post. 'This journey won't be easy, but with the love and support I have around me I can accomplish anything.'
