Arsenal have agreed £6.8m fee with Belgian club KAS Eupen for Nigerian striker Henry Onyekuru with personal terms yet to be agreed, Sky sources understand.

He was the joint top scorer in Belgium last year with 20 goals.

ETA: Celtic nearly signed him in January, but his work permit fell through.

Spending €180 million last year really helped City with those trophies this year, right? We can't all have a sugar daddy.

Go and read anything on Ederson from the Benfica subreddit or anyone else who has watched every game he's played.

It's of great opinion that he is the best goalkeeper they've had in recent times and that includes Oblak and Julio Cesar.



Lol citing Reddit


I watched plenty of the Portugal league the last couple years. Bc it was on BT.


He's a good gk but he's not world class or worth most expensive gk in the world type money. Does he have the potential to be world class? He certainly does but money like this ruins the market. But hey this sends DDG's value up to £60 million plus.

BBC and TalkSport confirming Aubameyang to PSG for 70 million euro

A little mixed on this signing. Obviously a great player but not sure if he's going to play the wing or what. Cavani is coming off a 49 goal season. Feels like a signing they made to sell shirts first.

Yea €70 million for a signing that really makes no sense.

if he were like 23 or something then you could say okay well he'll step in for Cavani in a season or two and have 5-7 years as the main striker...but he's 27, only 3 years younger than Cavani.

And PSG have a slew of u21 wunderkid attackers.

Should have focused on a left back to replace Maxwell and another top end midfielder (never really replaced the role Motta was playing 2-3 years ago and Matudi has regressed a bit).

I'm sure it will be fun to watch him cut up the french mid table but unless PSG are set to drop 200 million plus this window it's a questionable signing.

I thought he always wanted to play in Spain. Kinda crazy that it happened so early. They must bring paying him a ton.

Supposedly Salah's agent is talking to Liverpool about a potential transfer in addition to Monchi at Roma about a renewal.

No idea what Monchi has planned since De Francesco will likely take over as Roma manager this week and rumor is that he wants to bring Berardi with him from Sassuolo.

It's a lot of cash... but you need a quality striker to keep pushing Cavani... Currently, Cavani is all you have as a proven #9...

Yeah I mean it's not horrible. He's a great player and you're right they do need another striker. I just thought it should be a lower priority. But hey if they are going to buy a few more 50 mil plus players then go for it

Would like to see some of the kids get a shot as well.

I would have spent £300 mil to not have fricking Wenger as my manager for two more years.

Have fun sinking into mediocrity and losing Sanchez.

The GK market is all jacked up. DDG's price has sky rocket the last couple days.

I mean, doesn't that seem like a mistake? I feel like 60m is great return.
