7 Premier League transfers that should happen this week including Arsenal swoop
The Club World Cup has sparked a number of early transfers and Manchester City and Chelsea are set to be particularly busy forming their squad for the tournament in the United States Premier League clubs have already been very busy in the transfer window, which will - for the first time ever - open and close twice this summer. Due to the revamped Club World Cup, which begins on June 15, the window opened early on June 1 and will close on June 10. It will then open again on June 16, before closing for the second time on September 1. A number of big moves have already been completed, with Manchester United notably spending £62.5million to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves. Liverpool have also signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5m as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold after he made the move to Real Madrid. Chelsea have strengthened their attack with the £30m addition of Liam Delap. Plenty more deals could be concluded before the window shuts for the first time but the clock is ticking down. Chelsea and Manchester City in particular will hope to see deals get over the line in time for their trips to the US. Mirror Football has taken a look at seven transfers that may be completed in the coming days. Triple Man City swoop Manchester City are yet to make any signings so far this summer, but deals for three players could be wrapped up soon. Pep Guardiola's team don't want a repeat of last season's results and hope to revitalise their squad. AC Milan star Tijjani Reijnders is set to join in a £46.3m deal, having confirmed that a move is imminent while away on international duty with the Netherlands. "The medical? I couldn't wait to do it," he told Gazzetta. "The plan is to take part at the Club World Cup with City. I'm really excited about that. Doing that means I'll get to know my new team-mates soon." City have also agreed terms to sign Lyon star Rayan Cherki and Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri, with both deals set to cost around £35m. The latter is also said to have undergone a medical, while Cherki's Nations League duties finished on Sunday as he helped secure France's third-place finish. Speaking last week, Cherki confirmed a deal was pending. "It's getting done," he said. "But you already know my answer, everybody knows. But there's still a game to play. Now we have to enjoy and give everything, but after it will be done." Kepa to Arsenal Kepa Arrizabalaga is on the verge of joining Arsenal in a cut-price deal. The Spaniard spent last season on loan at Bournemouth from Chelsea and has a £5m release clause in his contract. The goalkeeper, who joined the Blues for £72m in 2018, signed a new deal at Stamford Bridge 12 months ago before joining the Cherries. That contract saw the introduction of a release clause as he took a pay-cut. Kepa is keen to join Mikel Arteta's team to battle for his place against first-choice option David Raya. Chelsea want two players for Club World Cup Enzo Maresca's team are heading to the United States for the Club World Cup and could yet see deals get over the line. The west London side are closing in on the £15m signing of Mike Maignan from AC Milan and want the Frenchman to play in the competition. The Serie A side had wanted £25m for the goalkeeper who is out of contract next summer. Personal terms are believed to already be agreed between player and club ahead of the move. Chelsea also want to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens. The 20-year-old winger is said to have agreed a seven-year deal with the Blues. A bid of £29.5m has been tabled, though it is some way short of Gittens' £50m release clause. The ex-Manchester City academy star has three years remaining on his contract, but the funds could help for Dortmund's activity in time for their own Club World Cup campaign. Bellingham to Dortmund Borussia Dortmund are moving to sign Jobe Bellingham from newly-promoted Premier League side Sunderland. A £31m deal has been agreed to see the 19-year-old join the side where his older brother, Jude, made his name. Bellingham has been named in England's European under-21 Championship squad but could yet be released to play in the Club World Cup, if a deal is confirmed in time. Sunderland are set to receive £26.96m up front with a further £4.2m available in add-ons as Bellingham signs a five-year deal.

How 9 ex-Chelsea stars have fared at Arsenal as Gunners edge close to £5m deal
Arsenal are poised to sign another Chelsea player in the summer transfer window - and they have a long history of doing so, with Kepa Arrizabalaga ready to follow in the footsteps of others Arsenal have made a habit out of signing players from their rivals Chelsea in recent years – and they are close to repeating the trick. The Gunners are in the market for a back-up goalkeeper in the summer transfer window and Chelsea have what they need. This time it is Kepa Arrizabalaga who appears set to make the switch between the London rivals, with a £5million transfer lined up. Kepa spent last season on loan with Bournemouth and, after Neto returned to the Cherries following a campaign with Arsenal, they are now eyeing the Spaniard. He moved to Stamford Bridge in a £72m deal seven seasons ago from Athletic Bilbao, but is now available for a cut-price fee. Should the deal go through, Kepa will provide competition to his compatriot David Raya in north London. It remains to be seen how the move will go down – but Kepa is following in a long line of Chelsea players to move to Arsenal. Here Mirror Football takes a look at how his predecessors have fared. William Gallas The ultimate in controversial moves between London clubs. Gallas swapped Chelsea for Arsenal in 2006 after winning back-to-back Premier League titles at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho. Things went sour – and after reportedly threatening to score an own goal if selected – he left for Arsenal. Never one to hide from the spotlight, Gallas was often the main character during his time at Arsenal, where he made 142 appearances and scored 17 goals. Best remembered for his infamous strop against Birmingham in February 2008, when he sat down on the pitch. Lassana Diarra Hardly a memorable move. Diarra struggled at Chelsea and then struggled at Arsenal. The French midfielder made just seven league appearances in 2007/08 before being flogged to Portsmouth five months later. Petr Cech A fantastic move for Arsenal. Cech won 15 trophies in 11 years at Chelsea, yet his status as a blue didn't undermine his work as a Gunner. He won the Golden Glove during his first season at Arsenal after keeping 16 Premier League clean sheets in 2015/16, stayed for four years and won the FA Cup with the Gunners. Yossi Benayoun The Israel international, who also played for West Ham and Liverpool, moved on loan from Chelsea to Arsenal for the 2011/12 season. He got six goals and three assists in 25 appearances across all competitions as Arsenal finished third. Willian Here's one that didn't work out. Willian enjoyed a very productive time at Chelsea, winning two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Europa League in seven years with the club. But when they wouldn't give him a new three-year deal, he opted to join Arsenal on a free transfer. The Gunners handed out a three-year deal and were made to regret it. He finished the 2020/21 season with just one goal in 37 appearances across all competitions and that was that. David Luiz A very divisive player. The Brazilian centre-back, who was known for his passing ability and penchant for shooting from distance, swapped Chelsea for Arsenal in 2019, like Cech. He lasted two seasons in north London after signing for £8m. While there were the typical moments of madness, including three red cards and conceding six penalties in his 53 Premier League appearances for the club, there were some good times too. Luiz helped Arsenal win the FA Cup and was a well-liked member of the dressing room before leaving for Flamengo in 2021. Jorginho Mikel Arteta was very keen to land Jorginho in 2023, with the Italy international's experience and leadership rated highly by the Arsenal boss. He got his man and Jorginho stayed for two seasons, becoming a key player in midfield alongside Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey. The 33-year-old has now left for Flamengo, but his influence is greater than many players who only played two seasons at the club. Kai Havertz The £65m Arsenal paid Chelsea to sign Havertz in June 2023 was widely ridiculed at the time, with fans confused why Arteta would sanction such a spend on a utility forward who, while a good player, wasn't a world-class one. He's shown why in the following two years, becoming a real fan-favourite with his own chant that references the transfer fee. Havertz has 29 goals and 13 assists in 87 matches for Arsenal – not far off the tally of 32 goals, 16 assists that he managed in 139 games for Chelsea – and his importance to the side was obvious when he was injured at the back end of the 2024/25 season. Raheem Sterling Arteta was behind this deal, too, having worked with Sterling during his time as a coach at Manchester City. Sterling joined Arsenal on loan for the 2024/25 season but never found his feet, with one goal and five assists in 28 appearances all that the Gunners got from the move. Sterling was scarcely used by Arteta, who frequently left him on the bench, leaving fans to wonder why the loan was sanctioned in the first place.

Here's Tottenham's full statement after Ange Postecoglou's dismissal: Ange Postecoglou dismissal statement Tottenham released a lengthy statement explaining their decision to dismiss manager Ange Postecoglou: FOLLOWING a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties. Ange joined us from Celtic in the summer of 2023 and oversaw a period of change on the pitch, returning us to the attacking brand of football that has traditionally been associated with the Club, while writing a new chapter in our history by leading us to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao last month - an achievement that will live with us all forever. We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw. However, the Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph. It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision. We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future - he will always be welcome back at our home. News on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course. Copy link Copied 1 …

Arsenal to sign Chelsea outcast in cut-price £5million transfer
Kepa Arrizabalaga is set to sign for Arsenal in a £5m deal from Chelsea and will provide competition for fellow Spain international David Raya at the Emirates Arsenal are closing in on a cut price £5m deal to sign goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea with the Spain international set to provide competition for compatriot David Raya. Kepa became the world's most expensive goalkeeper when he moved to Stamford Bridge in a £72m deal seven seasons ago from Athletic Bilbao. But he spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, starting all but three Premier League games, after signing a new deal at his parent club that included a £5m release clause and also saw his salary lowered significantly. Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca does not consider him part of his plans going forward. He played 163 times for the club, keeping 59 clean sheets and winning four major honours. But he last featured for them in 2023 having also been sent on loan to Real Madrid, where he made 20 appearances. Bournemouth were keen on making his switch to the south coast permanent with head coach Andoni Iraola saying: 'I think it is a matter of negotiating with Kepa himself and with Chelsea. I think both sides are very happy with his loan spell.' However, Kepa, 30, is now set to become the latest player to swap Chelsea for the Gunners. Raheem Sterling spent a difficult spell on loan at the Emirates in the season just passed, alongside former Blues Kai Havertz and Jorginho. The Gunners had initially been keen on Espanyol's Joan Garcia, but he seems increasingly destined for Barcelona. Mikel Arteta's pursuit of a new centre forward continues, meanwhile, with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres near the top of their wishlist. A deal to sign Spain midfielder Martin Zubimendi is also progressing, with the Real Sociedad star having a £51m release clause. Chelsea, meanwhile, have already landed striker Liam Delap from relegated Ipswich Town in what is expected to be another hectic transfer window in West London. And the new addition is set to feature in the controversial FIFA Club World Cup that begins next weekend having not been selected by the England Under-21s for their defence of the European Championships.
