Arsenal add two teenage defenders to transfer shortlist but face competition
Arsenal are monitoring the progress and availability of two teenage defenders, with both Rosario Central's Juan Gimenez and Real Madrid Castilla's Victor Valdepenas on their shortlist. The Gunners are expected to have a significant summer in the transfer market after falling short of winning silverware again this season. There is a clear need for a new striker who would be ready to go straight into the first team, while there will likely be further signings for the starting XI. However, Arsenal are still planning for the future, with Gimenez and Valdepenas pegged as prospects for years to come. Sky Germany report that both players are being monitored by Arsenal, although there is interest elsewhere, especially in Gimenez.

With the Argentina Under-20 international still playing in his home country, other European clubs see an opportunity for a good deal, especially as his current contract only runs until the end of 2025. Borussia Dortmund have been named chief among his admirers, with Arsenal and other big clubs interested. Valdepenas, while still playing for Real Madrid Castilla, clearly has a route to playing for Real Madrid, having signed for the club from Leganes in 2022. The 18-year-old is primarily a centre-back but his versatility is seen as a great strength as he can be deployed at left-back, wing-back or even in midfield. He is yet to make his Real Madrid debut, but has been playing for their C and reserve teams, while also being capped at Under-19 level by Spain. The Madrid native actually left Real for Leganes in 2020 but returned to the Spanish giants two years later. Relevo report that his physicality stands out for his age and compared him to former Real Madrid man, now a PSG star, Achraf Hakimi. The 19-year-old is chiefly a centre-back but can also operate at the base of midfield. Right-footed, the teenager already has plenty of first team experience for Rosario Central in Argentina's top flight and has played regularly for his country's Under-20 side. Gimenez has also been linked with Manchester United in the past and there will be no shortage of options for him this summer if Rosario choose to cash in on him before the end of his contract. Arsenal have two more games to play this season before attention fully turns to the transfer market and they will be hoping to end the Premier League campaign strongly to secure second place. Mikel Arteta's side host Newcastle on Sunday, with the Magpies two points and one place below them in third. Avoid defeat in that match and second place will remain in their own hands as they go into the last fixture of the season at Southampton a week later.

Ederson's goal earns Atalanta 1-0 win away to Milan

(EPA Images pipc) MILAN : Atalanta came away from the San Siro with a 1-0 win over AC Milan on Sunday thanks to Ederson's second half goal, which consolidated their place in Serie A's top four and all but ends the hosts slim chances of earning a Champions League spot. After a goalless first half, Atalanta took the lead in the 62nd minute through Ederson's diving header and Milan offered little after the goal with the visitors looking more likely to find a second. The final whistle was greeted by loud cheers from the away fans who had travelled in numbers from nearby Bergamo, and jeers from the home crowd who again spent much of the game protesting against the Milan hierarchy. The win moved third-placed Atalanta to 64 points, four points ahead of Bologna who beat leaders Inter Milan 1-0 earlier on Sunday, while Milan remain ninth in the standings on 51 points.

Serie A: Inter Milan beat Bologna 3-1 to stay in title hunt against Napoli
Santiago Gimenez scored twice and had a goal disallowed as AC Milan rallied to beat Bologna 3-1 in Serie A on Friday and keep alive its hopes of European soccer next season. It was the second game in row in which Milan has come from behind to secure three points. Milan is eighth in the Italian league, a point above Fiorentina and two points behind a faltering Bologna. The top four will go into the Champions League and the fifth- and sixth-placed teams qualify for the Europa League and Europa Conference League, respectively. Juventus is fourth with 63 points, the same as the two teams behind it, Roma and Lazio. Bologna was hoping to snap a two-game winless run and it took the lead after 48 minutes when Riccardo Orsolini cut in from the right and fired a low drive past Mike Maignan. However, Gimenez equalized in the 73rd minute with a cool finish after Christian Pulisic set him up inside the box. The Argentina-born Mexican international had a second goal disallowed two minutes later but another goal seemed inevitable as Milan pushed forward. It came four minutes later and again Pulisic was involved. Joao Felix's 79th-minute shot was blocked but fell perfectly for the American and he coolly slotted the ball home from 12 meters out. Gimenez capped a standout performance in stoppage time when he made space for himself inside the box and scored his second and Milan's third. The game was a dress rehearsal for next Wednesday's Coppa Italia final in Rome.
