Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich is wanted by a handful of Premier League clubs towards the top of the table, according to the club's former director Michael Reschke. Kimmich is one of several Bayern stars whose contracts expire in the summer of 2025, and with no agreement over a new deal in sight, he has understandably been linked with a move away from the Allianz Arena. Capable of playing in both midfield and at right-back, Kimmich has established himself as one of the world's finest players over the last few years and has helped Bayern win a staggering number of trophies. But with contract talks at an impasse, ex-Bayern chief Reschke has revealed to Sky Sports Germany he understands why Kimmich would explore a move away, particularly given the number of clubs who would like to sign him. "In the Premier League - I can assure you that, without giving away too much background information - there is definitely interest in Joshua. And not at the clubs from sixt...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is set to butt heads with the English FA after ruling winger Bukayo Saka out of international duty. Despite claiming Saka was "in contention" for Sunday's victory over Manchester City, Arteta left the 22-year-old at home and later insisted Saka would not be able to join up with the England squad either. "No, he will not make it," Arteta said. "He has not trained for a single session. He is not available to play Football at the moment." Nevertheless, the Evening Standard state that the FA still expect Saka to report for international duty on Monday, where they plan to conduct their own medical checks on the Arsenal winger. England face Australia in a friendly on Friday and will then switch their focus to a European qualifier against Italy the following Tuesday.

Arsenal have agreed a fee with Brentford for the transfer of goalkeeper David Raya, sources have confirmed to 90min . The Spain international has been looking to leave the Bees this summer after turning down various offers of a new contract. His current deal expires in 2024. Brentford have been willing to facilitate a sale but their initial £40m asking price put off various suitors. Tottenham Hotspur agreed personal terms with Raya but backed away from a deal due to this valuation, while Bayern Munich also dropped their interest for similar reasons. 90min understands Arsenal's opening offer of £20m plus a further £5m in add-ons was knocked back by the Bees, but they have now succeeded with a new bid which is believed to be worth £30m in total. Raya has been determined to secure a move to the Emirates Stadium and he is expected to undergo a medical shortly.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confessed he struggled to come to terms with the Gunners' failure to win the Premier League title last season. Arteta's side spent 248 days at the top of the table - a record for any team who failed to win - but could not get the job done as a late-season collapse in form saw Manchester City roar to what ended up being a reasonably comfortable triumph. While injuries played an obvious part in Arsenal's struggles, Arteta confessed he found himself asking tough questions about his own abilities as a manager. "The first few weeks were very tough, because I went through it," Arteta reflected. "The first thing you have to do is look in the mirror and understand ‘ok, is there something you should have done better, differently?’ and if that’s the case learn from it. "And then judge yourself: are you still the right person to drive the club, the team, forward in the way that you want and do you have that energy and that belie...

Declan Rice has become the most expensive Englishman of all-time after West Ham and Arsenal agreed a whopping £105m deal for his services. While many questioned his capacity to perform at the elite level during the formative stages of his England career, Rice has continued to mature and evolve, blossoming into one of Europe's finest defensive midfielders. Very few now doubt his talent. The Hammers stalwart captained the club to Europa Conference League glory to wrap up his career in east London and will now go in search of Premier League titles at Arsenal . A combative and robust presence in the middle of the park, it's not just his ability that ensures Rice stands out from the rest. An odd shirt number has helped, too.

England manager Gareth Southgate has provided an update on Bukayo Saka after he was substituted with an injury during the Three Lions' 4-0 win at Malta on Friday. Saka was withdrawn at half-time with his side three goals to the good in their Euro 2024 qualifier at the National Stadium in Ta' Qali. The Arsenal winger helped set up England's opening goal on the night, with his cross diverted into the net by Malta defender Ferdinando Apap. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who excelled in his new midfield role, scored the Three Lions' second goal of the evening with a stunning strike from range, before Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot having been fouled by Matthew Guillaumier. Towards the end of the first half, Saka's ankle buckled under a sliding challenge from a Maltese defender. He received treatment for several minutes before limping back on. Saka appeared to be moving with more freedom in stoppage time as he forced goalkeeper Henry Bonello into a low save with a...
