Chelsea urged to sign 'inspirational' £40m Man Utd transfer target this summer
Former Chelsea star Emmanuel Petit has urged his old club to sign Manchester United transfer target Emiliano Martinez this summer. The Red Devils saw a loan bid rejected by Aston Villa last month – but the 32-year-old goalkeeper is thought to be available for around £40m. Robert Sanchez, who currently operates as Chelsea's No.1 goalkeeper, faced plenty of criticism for a number of his performances last season. Martinez, a World Cup winner with Argentina in 2022, would arguably take Chelsea to the next level – and help them challenge for the top-flight title. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – click here and sign up before Friday to make sure you don't miss the first edition. 'Emiliano Martinez would be an inspiration in the Chelsea dressing room,' Petit told ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. 'I have criticised his behaviour in the past but he knows what it takes to win titles, he has that experience. 'He can inspire other players and he has all the qualities needed of a top goalkeeper. 'He would be a very good signing for Chelsea and 32 isn't old for a goalkeeper. 'I think he'd link well with Enzo Maresca and the players already at the club. 'One fear I have is for Aston Villa, I am worried about them with top players leaving the club, I'm not sure where it will leave them next season.' It is believed that Martinez rebuffed the chance to move to the lucrative Saudi Pro League earlier this summer. Martinez has shined in the Premier League since he moved to Villa Park from Arsenal for £20m five years ago, making 212 appearances to date. More Trending The Argentine was named The Best FIFA Men's Goalkeeper in both 2022 and 2024. But William Gallas believes Chelsea would be wise to avoid a move for Martinez in the summer window, which remains open until September 1. 'I have some serious doubts about whether he would be a good fit for Chelsea,' Gallas told Prime Casino. 'I don't know if he's got the right profile to be the goalkeeper of Chelsea. When I think about his antics, I just don't think he would be a positive addition to the club.'

Benjamin Sesko holds transfer talks as Man Utd and Newcastle wait for answer
Manchester United and Newcastle remain in a tug of war over Benjamin Sesko, whose current club RB Leipzig are preparing to dig their heels in around the asking price RB Leipzig's hierarchy met with Benjamin Sesko and his agent Elvis Basanovic on Sunday night to discuss the striker's possible sale to one of two Premier League clubs. But the Bundesliga club have firmly rejected Newcastle's initial offer of €75 million plus a €5 million bonus, demanding a guaranteed €80 million up front, while Manchester United remain hopeful of usurping the Toon by bringing the Slovenia star to Old Trafford instead. Sesko was not in Leipzig's matchday squad for their friendly against Serie A side Atalanta on Saturday afternoon with the much coveted striker kept out amid the tug of war between the Premier League giants. Newcastle, meanwhile, are in a separate dispute with their current top marksman Alexander Isak looking to pursue a new challenge. Liverpool remain the frontrunner to sign the Sweden international but his asking price remains an issue. It is unclear how interlinked Isak's future is with their move for Sesko with manager Eddie Howe previously stating his desire to have two high-class options for every position. United made their first approach for the Slovenian star last week, through intermediaries, who opened up dialogue over a potential deal. Those talks have progressed and will be stepped up this week, once United have returned home from their three-game tour of the US. Although United are looking to offload several players before the summer transfer window closes, they have scope to sign a striker without selling. Marcus Rashford's season-long loan move to Barcelona cleared £12m off their annual wage bill, with the La Liga club covering his entire salary. United also raised £20.7m from sell-on clauses including Anthony Elanga's switch to Newcastle, moves for Alvaro Fernandez and Maxi Oyedele, and the £5m paid by Chelsea to pull out of their deal to sign Jadon Sancho. In addition, United's failure to qualify for Europe this season – for only the second time in 35 years - means they are not bound by UEFA'S limit of spending no more than 70 per cent of annual income on transfers and wages. The structure of the deals for Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, who cost a combined £133.5m, with payments spread over instalments, has given United greater freedom to spend.

Evacuations and streets closures as Storm Floris hits Fort William
Images shared on social media showed a section of copper roofing coming away from the building housing the VisitScotland information centre on the town's High Street. The thoroughfare, as well as the parallel Middle Street, have both been closed for 'public safety'. "Fort William High Street shut as roof about to fly off!" one user wrote on Facebook, sharing video of fire and rescue personnel on the scene. Storm Floris has hit the Highlands with gusts of more than 90mph, as well as severe travel disruption across road and rail networks. Screens from a video shared to the Glengarry Road Watch Facebook group showing the roof damage from Storm Floris (Image: Facebook) Highland Council said in a statement: '[[Fort William]] High Street and Middle Street are closed for public safety. The road closures are due to a large section of copper roof that has come unstable due to high winds. '[[Highland Council]] roads and building control teams are assisting Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. 'Adjacent buildings have been evacuated, and sections of both High Street and Middle Street have been closed off. 'Structural engineers from building control will assess the damage as soon as possible, however due to the current wind conditions, it's not possible to safely access the roof to assess the full extent of the damage.' It comes after [[Police Scotland]] issued a warning to motorists to avoid the popular Bealach na Ba road altogether, with 'multiple' reports of strong winds overturning campervans both there and along the A87 on Skye. An amber weather warning is in place in an area stretching from the central belt to the north coast until 11pm, with the Met Office saying injuries and danger to life are expected from large waves hitting seafronts, coastal roads and properties. The rest of the country is covered by a yellow weather warning until 11.59pm on Monday. Fallen trees have seen a number of roads closed, including the A95 Rosarie road in both directions and the A96 in a number of locations, while the A9 at Daviot is partially blocked by a fallen tree. High winds have also led to the closure of the A9 Dornoch Bridge in both directions, and the A1 Tyne Bridge is only open to cars and single-decker buses. ScotRail has urged people to secure all outdoor equipment such as trampolines. Posting on social media, the rail operator said: 'We're asking anyone with garden equipment, such as tents, trampolines or furniture, to secure items so that they don't blow onto the tracks and interfere with lineside equipment.'
