Football rumours: Arsenal race United to sign Youri Tielemans

Arsenal are confident of beating Manchester United in a race to sign 25-year-old Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans, according to The Sun. The paper writes that boss Mikel Arteta believes his £30 million deal for Tielemans is solid despite the interest from Old Trafford and also from Newcastle.

And the same paper reports that Arteta is looking to get rid of seven players to fund their spending this summer. The club have already spent £83m on Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira, Marquinos, and Matt Turner, but are hoping to secure more fresh faces. Arsenal’s ambitions are very high, and it is certain that their matches will be very popular for online betting in the next season as well.

Everton are planning to fend off interest in their 21-year-old winger Anthony Gordon by handing him a new contract, according to The Times. Newcastle have joined the ranks of clubs interested in the England Under-21 international, with a link to Tottenham also being reported.

And boss Frank Lampard may use the same approach to keep 25-year-old striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the club, according to the Daily Mirror.
