Gabriel Jesus close to a return to Brazil
Gabriel Jesus's adventure at Arsenal could be coming to an end. According to RTI Esporte in Brazil, the international striker is in advanced talks with Flamengo over a loan deal.
The arrival of Viktor Gyökeres at Arsenal has shaken up the Gunners' attacking hierarchy. Already sidelined by injuries (out until November), Gabriel Jesus now sees his playing time under threat. With less than a year to go until the 2026 World Cup, he is considering a departure.
RTI Esporte also reports that both clubs are negotiating a loan deal in which Arsenal would cover half of his weekly salary, estimated at £265,000. Motivated by the chance to regain match fitness ahead of the World Cup, the former Manchester City forward is said to be open to a move back home. This is a transfer saga to watch closely in the coming days.

Exiles 'suffered' once again but battling qualities shone throgh
NEWPORT County AFC started their League Two campaign with a 1-1 home draw against Notts County on Saturday on a day when the football was overshadowed by a concerning medical emergency before kick-off. Once play did get under way an hour late, the visitors dominated the first half, but the Exiles held on and broke the deadlock against the run of play when Ged Garner headed in four minutes after the restart. The Magpies earned a point thanks to Jodi Jones' superbly struck penalty on 65 minutes before Michael Reindorf rattled the post soon afterwards. David Hughes' men now have a clear week to prepare for their trip to Crawley Town this coming Saturday and, despite being happy with the point, the manager knows there is still plenty to work on... Under the cosh Notts County hit the bar after 10 minutes and the visitors could easily have been out of sight by half-time, so it's easy to see why Hughes and most fans were reasonably satisfied with the end result after a much-improved second-half showing. The Exiles have certainly shown their battling qualities in the first two competitive matches of the season - they have faced a worrying 35 shots combined against Barnet [in the Carabao Cup preliminary round last Tuesday] and Notts and they had just 31 per cent possession on Saturday, compared to 23 per cent at The Hive Stadium. On the plus side, they have conceded just three times - thanks to some heroic defending from Lee Jenkins and James Clarke in particular, some poor finishing and the general excellence of new goalkeeper Nik Tzanev. Hughes would argue that it has been a team effort and the two games so far have highlighted his players' willingness to dig in and work for each other when things are not going their way. After Barnet, the manager admitted his side had "suffered" and that was something he prepared them for in pre-season with a trip to former Commonewealth super-bantamweight champion Jamie Arthur's gym in Rhydyfelin. 'It was almost like a mental toughness, conditioning session,' Hughes told The Guardian. 'It was just to try and take the group somewhere you think about the skillset you need to be a boxer, they definitely suffer to win. And all we're trying to do is have a culture where we understand and appreciate that winning looks different at times. To win games of football, at times you've got to suffer.' Speaking after Saturday's match, he praised the players' attitude: "We have provided a platform in these first two games to what needs to underpin our performances moving forward. "The first pillar underpinning performance, for me, is a willingness to work tirelessly for your team and I think the reaction of the supporters afterwards tells you their feelings on the performance. "They were really positive about the level of energy and intent the players showed. And that's the base level. What we have to do is add layers on top of that in key areas, but we're really pleased. "There are areas we want to work on, but I think the lads should be immensely proud of themselves." (Image: Kian Abdullah/Huw Evans Agency)Strikers scoring After suffering in the first half, Garner surprised most people inside Rodney Parade - possibly even himself and definitely the visiting defence - by ghosting into the area to nod in from Jenkins' long throw into the box from close range. It was nowhere near as spectacular as Reindorf's rocket against Barnet, but it was just as welcome and it's a big positive that both new strikers have now found the net in their first competitive starts - especially after Garner's penalty miss in the shootout last week. "From a confidence perspective, centre forwards will always judge themselves on goals and we're trying to get them into areas on the pitch [where they can threaten] and support them in key areas," explained Hughes. "They come in different areas. I 'm sure Ged didn't think he'd be heading in a long throw from Lee, but they're really important. To win games of football, you've got to find different ways of scoring a goal and we did that. We were a threat from set-plays." (Image: Kian Abdullah/Huw Evans Agency)Harsh penalty It looked a questionable decision at the time and, looking at the replays of the penalty incident, it appears as if the Exiles were hard done by when referee Peter Wright pointed to the spot following an innocuous-looking tangle between Matt Baker and Matt Dennis that started well outside the area. The referee could easily have given a free-kick the other way but, to his credit, Hughes didn't take the opportunity to moan about the officials as some of his predecessors loved to do with tiresome regularty. "If it was given for you, would you be disappointed? Probably not," he reflected. "It's a coming together; Matt's backing away, the centre forward is backing in, one loses balance. Who knows? It's such a contentious decision and it's gone against us. But, let's focus on the positives. I thought, to a man, everybody was outstanding." The manager instead chose to vent his anger at the EFL over the scheduling of last week's cup tie and he will be pleased to have no Tuesday fixture this week. "It's a really good start, but it is only a start," he added. "Let's not get too high when we've had a good performance. We have to follow this up with a really good week's work and another good performance at Crawley next Saturday."

Nantes in talks to sign Sturm Graz striker Amady Camara
Nantes have submitted Sturm Graz an offer to sign centre-forward Amady Camara (20) on loan with an option to buy, according to Ouest-France. The Ligue 1 side is reportedly confident that a deal could be struck swiftly with the Austrian outfit. The 20-year-old Malian international striker joined Sturm Graz two years ago. Camara can also play on the right wing. Camara would bring competition to Youssef El-Arabi, Mostafa Mohamed and Matthis Abline. Although it must be stressed that the Egyptian centre-forward and the France U21 international could still leave Luis Castro's Canaris before the end of the summer transfer window. Mohamed was reportedly of interest to Nice. Nantes are planning a revamp of their attacking options. They are set to sign AZ Alkmaar winger Mayckel Lahdo on loan. GFFN | Bastien Cheval

Tottenham player ratings vs Newcastle: Kevin Danso stands out as Brennan Johnson sends reminder
Tottenham ended their pre-season tour of Asia with a 1-1 draw against Newcastle in Seoul. On what will be Heung-min Son's final Tottenham appearance, his farewell dominated proceedings in what was a fairly uneventful game until James Maddison's injury. Tottenham started brightly and took an early lead through Brennan Johnson's deflected effort from outside the area. Despite their early energy, Tottenham were unable to capitalise and were pegged back when Harvey Barnes rifled a shot in off the post to bring Newcastle level. The second half saw a flurry of changes for both sides, with neither team able to find a winner, with Maddison being taken off on a stretcher overshadowing the final minutes. Tottenham remain unbeaten under Thomas Frank and end their pre-season preparations with a trip to Germany to face Bayern Munich. Antonin Kinsky 6 Even though Barnes' equaliser beat Kinsky at his near post, there was nothing he could do about the goal. Otherwise rarely called into action. Pedro Porro 6 Allowed Barnes to cut inside him far too easily for Newcastle's equaliser. Defensively, Porro is still vulnerable, but Frank will really appreciate his attacking qualities. The Spaniard is the perfect fit for his system. Kevin Danso 7 Thomas Frank loves his defenders to be aggressive and proactive. He'll have thoroughly enjoyed the way Danso won possession to turn the ball over for Tottenham's opening goal. He's by no means the finished article, but Danso will provide valuable cover for Romero and Van de Ven. Cristian Romero 6 A solid performance from Romero, who dealt well with Newcastle's physicality. Similarly to Danso, Frank will like how aggressive Romero is when attacking balls into the box and winning back possession high up the pitch. Ben Davies 6 Newcastle caused Davies problems down the left hand side but the Welshman recovered well and restricted the lively Anthony Gordon. Given Destiny Udogie's injury, Frank will be glad to be able to call upon Davies. Rodrigo Bentancur 5 Wasn't one of his best performances as Newcastle were able to cut through Tottenham's midfield fairly easily in the first-half. Archie Gray 6 Newcastle dominated the midfield battle after a bright start from Tottenham. Still, some more valuable minutes for Gray in his favoured position. Pape Matar Sarr 6 He wasn't quite able to emulate his goalscoring heroics from Thursday's 1-0 win over Arsenal as Newcastle got control of the midfield. Brennan Johnson 7 The Welshman opened the scoring with a deflected effort from outside the box but faded as the game wore on. Mobbed by Son following his goal, he will be expected to step up in the South Korean's absence. Mathys Tel 5 Tel is 20 years old, and it shows - all the confidence without the conviction. Plenty of energy and potential, but Frank needs to channel it into something more productive. Heung-Min Son 6 This afternoon was hardly ever going to be about Son's performance, and luckily so, as it was a pretty anonymous showing from the 33-year-old, who was routinely caught offside. Micky Van de Ven 6 The Dutchman looked assured as Newcastle struggled to create any meaningful chances. Wasn't tasked with too much, but when called upon he stood up to examination. Lucas Bergvall 6 There are a lot of questions to be answered in the middle of the park for Tottenham, but Bergvall can certainly be part of the solution. The young Swede tried to wrestle back control of the midfield, but struggled as the game hit a lull in the second-half. Richarlison 5 Tottenham lacked an out-and-out forward in the absence of Dominic Solanke and Richarlison did little to suggest he is the answer. The Brazilian struggled to lead the line, but he wasn't helped by a lack of service. Djed Spence 6 Newcastle had looked lively on both flanks early on but Spence got to grips with his position well and ensured Tottenham stayed resolute. Yves Bissouma 5 Couldn't turn the tide for Tottenham in the midfield despite an energetic performance. His performance was symptomatic of a lack of quality in the second-half. James Maddison 5 A really unfortunate way to end his pre-season as he was stretchered off injured in the 85th minute. The Englishman couldn't provide the spark to help Tottenham break out of pressure. A few nice touches, but he went missing in a physical affair. Mohammed Kudus 5 Struggled to impact the game off the bench. Crowded out in a suffocating midfield battle, there wasn't a lot of space for Kudus to work with. Wilson Odobert 5 A difficult cameo for the teenager, who like his team-mates couldn't find any rhythm in a stop-start game. Luka Vuskovic 6 Helped Tottenham see out the result with an industrious display. The young Croatian stood up to task without standing out. Yang min-hyeok n/a Had a late chance as he jigged his way into the area, but having replaced Maddison with just five minuted left to play, there wasn't enough time for the youngster to find his feet in the game.
