Latest transfer news today: Arsenal ‘weigh up’ signing a Gunners fan as Man City target £70m defender

The 2026 World Cup may be stealing the global spotlight, but the transfer market isn’t slowing down for anyone.

English giants are pressing ahead with big business as the summer window accelerates.

Football Whispers takes a look at the biggest headlines dominating the day's headlines.

Arsenal could move for Gunners fan Morten Hjulmand

It’s rare in football to play for the club you grew up supporting, but Arsenal could make that dream a reality this summer.

Reports in Portugal suggest the Premier League champions are ‘weighing up' a move for Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand, a player who even has a tattoo dedicated to the Gunners.

Many will remember the Dane’s strike against England at Euro 2024, and he now looks set for a Premier League switch, with Manchester City also interested.

Hjulmand’s release clause stands at £68 million, though the Portuguese giants are expected to accept closer to £40 million.

Everton handed boost over Gabriel Jesus

Arsenal aren’t only focused on arrivals this summer, with several fringe players linked with moves away as Mikel Arteta looks to reshape his squad, and Gabriel Jesus appears to be among those at risk.

Everton have held a ‘long-standing' interest in the Brazilian, but his price tag has always been a major obstacle, perhaps until now.

According to reports, the Gunners have reduced their valuation of the 29-year-old, who could be available for as little as £20 million.

That would be a tempting deal for the Toffees, offering a five-time league champion and two-time Champions League runner-up, hefty £265k-per-week wages aside.

Man City submit Malo Gusto enquiry

Manchester City – still yet to confirm their next manager – continue to push ahead with summer recruitment, with Malo Gusto now emerging as a target.

Fresh reports suggest the champions have lodged an enquiry for the Chelsea full-back, who previously worked under incoming boss Enzo Maresca.

City have monitored the France international for some time and now appear ready to move, viewing the 23-year-old as an ideal fit thanks to his ability to operate on both flanks

The Blues, however, are expected to stand firm on their valuation and are unlikely to entertain offers much below £70 million, which is a figure City currently consider steep.
