Latest transfer news today: Marc Guehi update as Newcastle eye £60m Alexander Isak replacement

The 2025 summer transfer window is the gift that keeps on giving, and last night, another blockbuster moment happened when Eberechi Eze slammed the brakes on his imminent move to Tottenham to agree terms with Arsenal instead.

The 27-year-old is now expected to complete a move to Arsenal in the coming days and could potentially even play for the Gunners this weekend against Leeds.

Meanwhile, another Crystal Palace star features in today's headlines.

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has been the subject of transfer interest from the Premier League this summer, with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City all linked with the Brazilian.

Today, the saga has taken its next turn, with news that Rodrygo's agent has flown into the United Kingdom to hold talks with Liverpool and Arsenal about a move.

According to reports, Man City are now out of the running, as the Cityzens are now expected to keep hold of Savinho.

Real Madrid would reportedly want a fee of around €100m (£86m) for the 24-year-old, and the player himself is open to leaving the Bernabeu. His place in the Real Madrid squad isn't as secure as it once was due to high competition for places in forward positions.

Newcastle set to bid for Alexander Isak replacement

Jorgen Strand Larsen could become the latest Wolves player to depart the club this summer, with Newcastle reportedly lining up a bid for the striker.

Although the Norwegian only signed for Wolves on a permanent deal last summer, the Magpies have been in talks with the Midlands club for his signature for a couple of weeks.

According to journalist Liam Keen, the Carabao Cup winners are now getting closer to Wolves' valuation, while other reports suggest that an official bid is ‘imminent'.

 

Strand Larsen scored 14 Premier League goals for Wolves last season, while on loan from Celta Vigo. If Newcastle can get this deal over the line, then it could finally see Alexander Isak depart for Liverpool.

Liverpool learn new Marc Guehi transfer update

An interesting update in the Marc Guehi transfer saga was provided by Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol earlier today – and it's bad news if you are a Crystal Palace supporter.

According to the reporter, the Eagles would be more open to negotiating his exit if they can record a big win in their Europa Conference League playoff first leg tonight. The reason being that it would guarantee the club a certain amount of money for the season ahead.

On the flip side, if Palace don't kill the tie tonight, then they will want Guehi to play in the second leg next week to ensure qualification.

Liverpool are still the firm favourites to sign Guehi if he does become available this summer, but the Reds wouldn't be against waiting a year to sign him as a free agent. Liverpool have already spent more than £250m on transfers this summer.
