Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno is moving closer to joining Fulham after weeks of negotiations between the two sides. A fee of around £8 million is now close to being agreed as the Germany international looks to kickstart his Premier League career at Craven Cottage. Leno was Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper until he was displaced by Aaron Ramsdale last summer . Arsenal have already signed United States goalkeeper Matt Turner as Ramsdale’s deputy this season, in a move which has further opened the door for Leno to leave. Leno joined Arsenal in a deal worth around £20m in the summer of 2018 and he has gone on to make more than 101 appearances in the Premier League, keeping 25 clean sheets. The 30-year-old is understood to be keen to remain in London and, assuming the deal is finalised, he will instantly become one of the senior members of the Fulham squad. Marco Silva, the Fulham manager, has so far strengthened his midfield this summer with the signings of Joao Palhinha from … [Read more...] about Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno closing in on £8m Fulham switch

FRENKIE DE JONG is now ODDS-ON to join CHELSEA from Barcelona this summer. That's despite Manchester United's desperation to sign him in this window. SKY BET: GET £30 IN FREE BETS* That's according to Sky Bet, who have the midfielder at 6/5 to make the move to Stamford Bridge.

It is said to centre around De Jong's contract renewal and his temporary drop in wages which are set to go back up, though Barca are pushing for the midfielder to tear up that agreement and stick to the lower salary. With all this going on, United's pursuit of the 25-year-old continues to stall. United had agreed a fee of around £63million plus add ons with Barca but personal terms have stalled the move with the midfielder wishing to stay and is owed a considerable amount of money from the club.
