Hi and welcome along to AFTV Transfer Daily,
the show that keeps you up to date with players that
may link with a summer transfer move to Arsenal.
Just over 21 days to go now till the end of the transfer window.
It's been a real different transfer window with the World Cup going on.
So far, three signings for Arsenal.
Ilhan Meslir, third choice goalkeeper.
Christos Solis, who's coming on that left-hand side,
but he's coming to replace Trossard, who left.
And of course, Bruno Guimaraes, who was unveiled on the pitch.
That Arsenal friend on Sunday.
Hopefully, we get to see him play tomorrow in that friendly against Como.
But we still need a left winger.
We still need a centre-back and maybe even a right-back.
Centre-back, right-back, maybe even a forward.
Three to four players still probably required at Arsenal.
After missing out on targets, so far this summer,
we've missed out on Morgan Rodgers, Jeremy Munger, Vinicius Junior.
So who are Arsenal going to bring in,
especially in that left-wing attacking position?
Will they be able to get their man?
One of the players they've been looking at after missing out on Vinicius Junior
has been Keenan Yildiz of Juventus.
And we've got an update on that due to various reports that are coming out today.
Again, conflicting.
But there's a big one that's saying that
Arsenal could miss out on signing Keenan Yildiz
because Juventus are saying he's untouchable.
They do not want to sell him.
Remember, he only signed a new contract with Juventus in June.
So, you know, Juventus knew that this would be coming.
They knew that there were going to be lots of teams interested in him.
He's one of the hottest prospects in European football right now.
And he signed a new contract.
And Tute Juve today saying that, you know,
Juventus are saying to Arsenal he's not for sale.
We're not going to sell him.
He's untouchable, not for sale.
There are other reports out there today saying that, you know,
Arsenal's still going to push, still think they could get him.
There's even been reports saying that Yildiz would like the move.
But reports coming out that he's untouchable, not for sale.
So it's one we're going to have to keep our eye on.
I do feel that it's going to be very difficult to get him away from Juventus.
He is the jewel in the crown, you know what I mean?
They don't want to sell him.
But who knows in these situations?
What about Bradley Barcola?
It was really interesting, this one.
Yesterday I was listening to Perry Groves, ex-Arsenal player.
He was speaking on Talk Sport.
Of course, Liverpool are the favourites to sign Bradley Barcola.
They're said to be, you know, have been in talks and, you know,
they're just waiting on the bid, basically PSG.
They want a lot of money from him.
Liverpool was prepared to pay about 100 million.
But ex-Arsenal player Perry Groves yesterday talking on Talk Sport said
that he's got intel on it that Bradley Barcola wants to live in London.
That's what he said.
He goes he's not going to say who his sources are,
but he said Barcola wants to live in London.
Now, you're not going to live in London and travel up to Liverpool every day.
That's a very, very long trip.
And he ain't going to want to do that.
If he's going to want to live in London,
that means he wants to play for a London team.
The London team that's interested in him is Arsenal.
Now, listen, this is just coming from Perry Groves.
This is what he's saying.
He said he's got intel on it, you know.
So could Arsenal hijack Liverpool's move for Bradley Barcola?
We need a left winger.
He's a, you know, a left winger.
We all know he's played in the Champions League final,
played for, you know, France at the World Cup,
scored in the World Cup.
Could Arsenal make a move for Bradley Barcola
before the end of this transfer window?
It's a player they've been interested before in the past as well.
Going to be one to watch.
Going to be one that's very, very interesting.
This one came up yesterday.
I don't think too many Arsenal fans would be pleased with this link.
And that's Pedro Neto of Chelsea.
Straight away, lots of Arsenal fans are saying,
not another Chelsea player, please, right?
But he's been linked with a move to Arsenal.
It's the journalist Simon Phillips claiming that
Arsenal have made an inquiry about Pedro Neto's availability.
We know that Manchester City have been interested in him.
Of course, Maresco used to have him at City.
Tottenham, also interested in Pedro Neto as well.
We're said to be the latest club interested in him.
Where he play, I don't know.
Because when you watch him play,
he plays predominantly as a right winger.
That's his position, right wing.
We've got enough players on the right wing.
We've got Madawaki.
We've got from Chelsea.
We've got Saka.
Max Dowman can play right.
Why would Arsenal go out and fork out nearly £70 million,
which is what he costs, to bring in Pedro Neto?
Just don't make no sense to me.
Listen, last year, the Madawaki thing didn't make sense to us either.
We got Wengeri.
We got Dowman.
And we went and got him.
So you can't say never, say never.
But I doubt this one.
I really do doubt this one.
I do think, you know, as well,
maybe the hierarchy are sort of realising that, you know,
Arsenal fans are getting fed up of buying players from Chelsea, right?
Unless it's Karl Palmer or somebody like that.
But Pedro Neto being linked with a move,
I want to ask you guys today in the comments,
let me know,
would you like to see Pedro Neto at Arsenal?
I'll tell you the truth.
At one time, I wanted him at Arsenal
because I was like, he could be a good backup to Saka.
But where would he play?
So let me know in the comments if you'd like to see him at Arsenal.
I spoke yesterday about Endrik being linked with a move to Arsenal.
I poured a lot of doubt on it.
And today, we're hearing reports that he's set to stay.
He had been very heavily linked with Aston Villa
because the talk was he'd go out on loan to get a lot of game time
because, you know, how's he going to play many games
when, you know, you look at that front three that they've got at Real Madrid.
But being reported today that he's going to stay at Real Madrid,
at least till January anyway,
Jose Mourinho said he doesn't want Endrik to go out.
He wants Endrik to stay at Real Madrid.
So that kind of kills that one.
I don't think there was much in that anyway.
We spoke about it yesterday,
but I don't think that was a rumor, really,
that was ever going to happen.
But Arsenal are being linked today with another young player,
young prospect player.
But actually, you know, a young prospect player
has been playing quite a lot of games.
And again, it's from Leicester City.
Remember, we tried to get Jeremy Monger from Leicester City,
he ended up going to Manchester City in the end.
But we're in for another youngster now from Leicester City
and he goes by the name of Louis Page.
He's a central midfielder, got a contract until 2029,
and he's seen as a real hot prospect.
One of the players, really, that Leicester sort of counting on
to try and get them out of League One this season.
According to the journalist Peter O'Rourke,
Arsenal are interested in him
and are preparing a final, a formal offer
to sign the highly rated midfielder.
Manchester United also said to be another club
that are very interested in him.
Leicester would like to keep him,
but Leicester's financial position,
they're probably going to have to sell.
So one to keep an eye on there.
We know that Arsenal bringing in these young,
talented players into the squad,
getting them into Hale End
and maybe they sell them on in the future
or maybe they're good enough to come through to the first team
and he's another one that they've identified.
Now, Gabriel Jesus, his agent,
was speaking to Corriere dello Sport yesterday.
That's the Italian news outlet for sport.
And he said that he's had many approaches for Gabriel Jesus,
including from free Italian clubs.
One of those is said to be Napoli,
although he denied that he was in Napoli
to do a deal with them.
The other two are said to be AC Milano and Juventus,
all of them interested in signing Gabriel Jesus.
Arsenal looking for £20 million for him.
That is a sticking point
because a lot of these teams don't want to pay that.
Jesus also got some very high wages as well.
But he's saying there's a lot of interest from Italy.
He also said that whilst they've been approached
from clubs from Turkey,
and we've heard about rumours of Galatasaray, Fenerbahce,
and he's not interested in going to Turkey.
He doesn't want to go to Turkey.
If he does move, he's more than likely
to be one of these Italian clubs.
So let's keep an eye on that situation.
But he's being heavily linked again with moves to Italy.
And you know what?
I've got to finish on this story.
This one made me laugh.
A journalist in Turkey was arrested.
And maybe this might be a message
to a lot of the ITKs out there
and a lot of the journalists who,
quite frankly sometimes,
some of the stories that they come out with,
you really have to wonder.
This Turkish journalist was arrested
for spreading false transfer rumours.
The rumours were related to Jamal Musiala
and linking him with a move from Bayern to Galatasaray.
He'd done it multiple times.
I think the club had told him,
these are fake rumours.
He persisted and he's been arrested.
I like this.
Maybe we need to bring this in all around
and we get some more accurate rumours around players.
Well, that made me laugh.
That really did tickle me.
So those are the rumours for today.
Don't forget, we will be back tomorrow,
as usual, right until the end of the transfer window.
Keep it locked here on AFTV
and you won't miss a thing.
