Stuttgart centre-back Finn Jeltsch is on ****** nal's radar, with the Gunners considering a move for the defender this summer after he impressed in the Bundesliga last season.
The 20-year-old only joined his current club last year, but he quickly became one of the finest players in the team and secured a regular place in the starting lineup. His performances have attracted attention from some of Europe's biggest clubs.
Jeltsch's mature and impressive displays have convinced ****** nal that he is a player they should not miss out on if an opportunity to sign him becomes available. The Gunners believe he has the potential to continue improving and develop into an even better defender in the future.
Arsenal already has a strong defensive group featuring some of the best players in Europe, but the club is always looking to add more quality options to its squad. Jeltsch has now emerged as a possible target as they look to strengthen their back line.
The defender's ability to perform at a high level despite his age has made him an attractive option. ****** nal believes he could fit well into their system and provide valuable competition within the squad.

Bruno Guimaraes might be closer to a move to **** nal than many expected, as the Gunners continue to push to sign him from Newcastle United this summer.
The Magpies do not want to lose their captain, but at 28, Guimaraes may find it difficult to turn down an opportunity to join a major club like **** nal. The midfielder has reportedly asked Newcastle to allow him to leave as he looks for a new challenge.
Newcastle remains reluctant to sell one of their most important players, but a deal could still be possible if **** nal submits an offer that is too good to reject during this transfer window.
Guimaraes has been in excellent form and has established himself as one of the top midfielders in the world. **** nal believes he can make their squad even stronger and provide the quality needed to compete at the highest level.
The Brazilian also impressed during the World Cup, showing his ability on the international stage. His performances have reinforced the belief that he would be a major addition for the Gunners if they can complete a transfer.

PSG remains keen to keep Bradley Barcola this summer despite the player's reported interest in leaving the club, and the French champions are expected to discourage the ******* nal target from seeking a move when he returns to training.
Barcola is believed to be looking for a new challenge after winning back-to-back Champions League ******* les with PSG, even though he has found it more difficult to secure a regular place in the starting line-up. His situation has attracted interest from several clubs ahead of the new season.
The winger showed at the World Cup that he can perform at the highest level when he is given regular playing time, and ******* nal is eager to sign him during this transfer window. The Gunners believe he would strengthen their attacking options and add further quality to the squad.
However, PSG is unwilling to let Barcola leave without a fight and is determined to persuade him to remain at the club for at least another season. That stance could make it difficult for ******* nal to complete a deal despite its strong interest.
Liverpool is also in the race for the winger, increasing the competition for his signature. Even so, PSG's determination to keep the player may prove to be the biggest obstacle for any club hoping to secure his services this summer.

Arsenal have reportedly been monitoring Jurrien Timber closely after he underwent a minor operation on a groin issue weeks ago. ******* nal manager Mikel Arteta already has fitness headaches to deal with at the Emirates Stadium club ahead of next season. The Gunners boss will be without William Saliba when the 2026-27 campaign kicks off, and Timber will be desperate to return to action for the North London club before the end of pre-season.
The Netherlands international defender missed the World Cup as a result of the injury but has been training with the ******* nal team so far. However, he has yet to make a full return and it is unknown if he will be available for their first pre-season fixture against Girona on Saturday. Timber missed most of the ******* le run-in last term due to the longstanding issue and will hope to be fully fit when the new season starts.
Arsenal also take on Real Betis, Borussia Dortmund and Como in pre-season before facing Manchester City in the Community Shield on August 16. They kick off their ******* le defence at home against newly-promoted Coventry City on August 21.

The board at La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid have come to the collective decision that star attacker Vinícius Jr. will not be allowed to depart this summer.
This of course comes fresh off a surprise round of speculation linking the Brazilian with a move to Premier League giants ****** nal.
Vinícius' future remains something of a touchy subject in Spain's capital at present. Despite long-term efforts to tie him down to a new contract, the 26-year-old is due to see his current terms expire in just 12 months' time.
Mikel Arteta's ****** nal, in turn, have expressed a keen interest in taking advantage of the situation, courtesy of a proposal of their own to Vinícius and his entourage.
As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media on Tuesday is anything to go by, then the Gunners need not get their hopes up.

Former ******* nal star Takehiro Tomiyasu is currently training with Crystal Palace as he plots a Premier League return, according to The Athletic. The ******* anese left the Gunners in July 2025 after his contract was terminated by mutual agreement at the North London club. Tomiyasu was a key player for ******* nal manager Mikel Arteta whenever he was fit, making 84 appearances for the Emirates Stadium club during his four seasons at the club. The Palace target joined Ajax last December on a six-month deal, leaving at the end of last season.
He is currently a free agent and a move to the Selhurst Park club could be on the cards. The former Gunners star could make an appearance for the Eagles in a friendly later this week. He has been training with the South London club as part of their pre-season preparations. The high-level training environment Palace is providing has come in handy for Tomiyasu as he looks to maintain and improve his fitness.
Tomiyasu made three appearances at the World Cup with ******* an and will fancy his chances of impressing in the Premier League again after overcoming his injury woes.
The Eagles are not the only ones keen on the full-back, with clubs in the Championship and other European leagues also looking to recruit his services.
He will not be short of suitors even if a move to Palace falls through, but a return to the English top-flight appeals to him.

Vinicius Junior has emerged as a leading transfer target for **** nal as uncertainty continues to surround his future at Real Madrid. The Brazilian has reportedly struggled to agree a new contract with the Spanish club over the past several months and has now entered the final year of his current deal.
Vinicius is widely regarded as one of the best players in world football and has continued to demonstrate his quality with consistent performances. Real Madrid are understood to be keen to keep him at the club, but they are reportedly unwilling to meet his current contract demands, leaving his long-term future unresolved.
According to The Telegraph, **** nal are interested in signing the Brazilian attacker and are prepared to offer him a salary of at least £400,000 per week. If such a move were to be completed, he would become the highest-paid player at the Emirates.
Although Real Madrid already pay higher wages than **** nal, the proposed deal would still represent a significant financial commitment from the Gunners. The club have already secured new contracts for several key members of the squad, yet Vinicius would reportedly earn more than all of them if he joined this summer.
The size of the proposed salary underlines **** nal's determination to strengthen their attacking options with one of the game's most highly regarded players. It would also highlight the club's willingness to invest heavily in a player they believe could make a major impact.

Arsenal are continuing their efforts to strengthen their attack after adding Christos Tzolis to their squad from Club Brugge, with their next attacking target potentially coming from La Liga.
The Gunners have improved their squad by bringing in some of the finest names in the game and have continued to demonstrate their ability to identify and sign talented players. Their manager has also shown an ability to keep new arrivals committed to the club's ambitions.
Arsenal are determined to keep improving their squad and have identified two World Cup winners as potential additions. The club believes further attacking reinforcements could help them compete at the highest level across domestic and European competitions.
According to Metro Sport, the Gunners still want to sign either Nico Williams or Ferran Torres during this transfer window after both players combined to score the winning goal at the World Cup final.
Both attackers have remained important figures for Athletic Club and Barcelona respectively, and ******* nal would like to secure at least one of them this summer. Their quality and experience make them attractive options as the club looks to add more strength in attack.

Christos Tzolis became the most expensive transfer in Greek football history, when he signed for ***** nal this week.
To welcome the 24-year-old to the Premier League champions, let's take a look at the other Greek Gunners…
It's fair to say Giannis Tavlaridis doesn't have the legacy in England that he does in France.
Lille supporters affectionately nicknamed the defender 'Taureau' ('The Bull'), but ***** nal fans only caught brief glimpses of him, mostly in the League Cup.
Arsene Wenger became more willing to hand opportunities to young players after the move to the Emirates, so perhaps Tavlaridis was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Arsenal are interested in signing Yan Diomande and are pushing alongside Paris Saint-Germain to add the attacker to their squad during this transfer window. However, the forward could remain at RB Leipzig, with the German club determined to keep hold of one of their key players despite growing interest in his services.
Before the World Cup began, Liverpool made a strong attempt to sign the Ivorian attacker and submitted a significant bid for his signature. RB Leipzig rejected the offer and maintained that the player was not available for transfer, signalling their intention to retain him for the foreseeable future.
The Bundesliga club are eager for Diomande to stay for at least one more season and are reportedly prepared to offer him a new contract this summer. ***** nal are nevertheless prepared to test their resolve as they continue their efforts to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
After missing out on Morgan Rogers, the Gunners have identified Diomande as a player they would like to add to their squad during this transfer window. The club are keen to improve their attacking quality and believe the Ivorian could provide an important boost as they prepare for the season ahead.
According to Fichajes, RB Leipzig have not changed their position regarding Diomande’s future and continue to insist that he is not available for sale during this transfer window. The club regard him as one of the standout players in their squad and are determined to ensure that he remains part of their plans, meaning they are expected to reject any approach from ***** nal.

Matthew and Elijah Upson made history this week by becoming the first father and son to sign professional contracts with **** nal.
Matthew Upson made 57 appearances for the Gunners, playing his part in the club's memorable domestic Double-winning campaign in 2001/02.
What are the odds of your child not only making it to the professional game in the same position, but also signing his first professional contract with the very club his father represented?
Upson senior must have felt incredibly proud walking back into London Colney.
Interestingly, the 47-year-old was also 18 when **** ne Wenger brought him to **** nal.

Arsenal's interest in Bruno Guimaraes is well known, but the Gunners have still not made a formal approach to Newcastle United for the midfielder's signature, a situation that has reportedly frustrated the Magpies.
Guimaraes represented Brazil at the World Cup and is currently enjoying his holiday. Once he returns, discussions about his future are expected to increase, while Newcastle are also planning to offer him a new contract this summer.
Guimaraes has established himself as one of the best midfielders in England, making **** nal's desire to sign him unsurprising. The Gunners are looking to improve their squad and believe the Brazilian could become an important addition to their team.
Arsenal already have several high-quality players in their squad, but they remain focused on strengthening further during the transfer window. Guimaraes is believed to be one of their key targets as Mikel Arteta continues to reshape the team.
According to Sky Sports, Newcastle are yet to receive an official offer from **** nal for Guimaraes. Instead, the report states that the Gunners have used intermediaries to communicate their interest and discuss a possible move.

In a recent post on X, journalist Ben Jacobs mentioned that ***** nal are showing interest in Red Bull Leipzig winger Yan Diomande this summer. It has been claimed that the Gunners have made an enquiry about the Ivory Coast international, who has his heart set on a move to Paris Saint-Germain this off-season.
Diomande enjoyed a brilliant campaign at the German club in the previous campiagn when he put in a series of impressive displays for them on the offensive end of the field. The 19-year-old banged in 13 goals and grabbed ten ***** ists in 36 matches for Red Bull Leipzig last season across all competitions.
The Ivory Coast talent is currently among the most feared wingers in the Bundesliga. Thus, ***** nal would do well to get him on board in this summer transfer window.
His current contract at the Red Bull Arena will run out in the summer of 2030, which could make it tough for the Gunners to sign him on the cheap this off-season.

Chelsea are reportedly ready to challenge ******* nal for the signing of Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.
The West Londoners broke their transfer record earlier this week to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa and are continuing to invest as part of a rebuild under Xabi Alonso.
Next in the Spaniard’s sights is a central midfielder, amid doubts over Enzo Fernandez’s future and the exit of Andrey Santos for Manchester United. According to Chelsea-focused journalist Simon Phillips, Guimaraes is a name that has been discussed at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazil international has told Newcastle he wants to explore an exit this summer, amid an approach from ******* nal.
The Gunners saw a £55m verbal offer turned down earlier in the window. Newcastle do not want to sell the club captain after losing Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon, though could consider offers upwards of £80m.

Barcelona are not interested in a deal to sign ******* nal and Liverpool target Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spanish champions have been linked with a move to sign Barcola in recent days, as the club seek an attacking addition. Barcelona have bid for Julian Alvarez, of Atletico Madrid, without success and remain keen to add another goalscorer to their ranks.
However, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Barcelona are not targeting Barcola. The La Liga side remain intent on signing Alvarez and are seeking an out-and-out number nine, following Robert Lewandowski’s exit.
Liverpool are leading the chase for the 23-year-old, though face a fight to convince PSG to sell. According to French journalist Sebastien Vidal, Liverpool are preparing to lodge an opening offer of around £85m.
Arsenal also admire Barcola, as Mikel Arteta seeks forward additions. The Gunners have completed the signing of Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge for £34m, but remain keen to sign another left-sided forward.

#Liverpool

Alex Scott enjoyed an impressive season with Bournemouth, which has made the midfielder one of the club’s most sought-after players. His performances have attracted interest from ****** nal and several other top clubs ahead of the current transfer window.
Scott played a key role under Andoni Iraola as Bournemouth secured European football last season and narrowly missed out on a Champions League place. His contributions in midfield, along with several important goals, helped the Cherries achieve an excellent campaign.
One of Scott’s memorable moments came when he scored at the Emirates as Bournemouth stunned ****** nal in April. That performance appears to have strengthened the Gunners’ interest, with the ****** le holders keen to add him to their squad.
However, Bournemouth have so far blocked his departure this summer despite the player wanting a new challenge. The 22-year-old could potentially increase pressure on the club by making his desire to leave clear, forcing them to consider a sale.
Scott’s contract with Bournemouth runs until the summer of 2028, and the club have attempted to secure his long-term future by offering him a new deal. However, those efforts have not been successful so far.

Arsenal's midfield plans are coming into sharper focus, and Bruno Guimaraes remains right near the top of the list. According to Ben Jacobs, the Gunners are likely to come back with another attempt for the Newcastle United captain, with Mikel Arteta pushing for more quality and control in the centre of the pitch.
The basic issue is straightforward. Newcastle value Guimaraes at £100 million or more. ******* nal's opening verbal offer is understood to be roughly half that. That gap is huge, and in modern transfer terms it tells you everything. One club wants to test the waters, the other wants to make it clear there is no discount aisle here.
There is also a familiar layer to this. Newcastle's public line is that Guimaraes is not for sale. ******* nal's position is that they know what the player is worth to them, and they are not going to wander into a bidding war for the sake of it. If Newcastle are willing to talk properly, there may be a deal to discuss. If not, ******* nal will move on.
From a football perspective, the interest makes sense. Guimaraes gives ******* nal intensity, technical security and personality. He can dictate tempo, handle pressure and add bite in midfield. Those are premium qualities, and they are exactly why Newcastle can hold such a hard line on the fee.
Timing also matters. Guimaraes still has two years left on his contract, plus an extra club option. Newcastle are under no immediate pressure to sell, which means ******* nal are negotiating against a club with little urgency and plenty of leverage.

#guimaraes #arsenal #wants

Arsenal are ready to step up their pursuit of Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.
Various reports claim the Gunners have opened talks over a deal to bring the Brazilian to the Emirates.
But Newcastle are said to want a similar fee to the one which took Sandro Tonali to Spurs, in a deal which was worth around £100m, to even consider selling the 28-year-old.
Sky Sports, meanwhile, say Newcastle have been frustrated by ******* nal's pursuit of their star man and would only consider at least £80m, with official talks still yet to be opened.
Elsewhere, Morgan Rogers says he has joined "the biggest club in London" after completing his move to Chelsea from Aston Villa or £117m.

Tottenham Hotspur are growing increasingly confident of beating North London rivals ****** nal to the signature of West Ham United academy prodigy Isaac Allen. Roberto De Zerbi, Mikel Arteta and Nuno Espirito Santo are at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Emirates Stadium and London Stadium respectively. Spurs have moved swiftly to hijack a deal for the 15-year-old defensive midfielder, aiming to deliver a significant developmental blow to their neighbours.
This escalation marks a dramatic twist in the race for one of English football’s most coveted teenage prospects. ****** nal had spent weeks actively pursuing Allen, identifying the highly rated youngster as a priority for their Hale End academy. Gunners recruitment staff held extensive talks with the player’s camp, looking to secure his services as part of Mikel Arteta’s plan to integrate top domestic youth into the club’s long-term pathway.
However, Tottenham’s recruitment team has launched an aggressive counter-move in recent days. Spurs are reportedly very optimistic about reaching an agreement to bring Allen to Hotspur Way, having presented a clear pathway to senior football. With Tynan Thompson recently leaving Spurs for Manchester United in an £8 million deal, Tottenham are eager to replenish their academy ranks with elite domestic talent.
Losing Allen represents a painful double blow in the capital. For West Ham, the departure of their youth starlet is a bitter pill to swallow. The Hammers had hoped to tie down the England Under-15 captain to long-term scholarship terms at Chadwell Heath, but with the player seeking a fresh challenge, the East London club are now focused on securing maximum training compensation.
Allen’s stock has risen sharply over the past year, thanks to his tactical discipline, composure, and natural leadership qualities. Having captained England’s U15 squad, he is widely regarded by top-flight scouts as a generational anchor in the making.

Manchester City have reached an agreement to sign Mishel Nduka after the midfielder turned down a new deal at **** nal.
David Ornstein reports the 16-year-old is expected to undergo a medical imminently before joining City on scholarship terms. A professional contract will follow once he becomes eligible.
Arsenal had fought to keep him. The Gunners offered Nduka a highly competitive long-term contract, but the England youth international opted to continue his development at the Etihad instead.
His decision caps a rapid rise in north London. Nduka joined **** nal from Charlton Athletic in September 2025, and quickly progressed above his age group.
He made 10 appearances for the Under-18s last season and also featured for the Under-21s and in the UEFA Youth League.

Arsenal are actively ******* sing the market for attacking additions and one of the more intriguing possibilities now under discussion is Julian Alvarez. According to talkSPORT, the Gunners are alert to the chance of signing the Argentina international this summer, with early contacts already touching on creative deal structures involving Viktor Gyokeres.
The situation around Alvarez is developing quickly. He has reportedly told Atletico Madrid he wants to leave, with Barcelona described as his preferred destination. Atletico, however, are reluctant to sell to a direct LaLiga rival, especially after already rejecting an £86million offer and directing interested parties towards a £432m release clause. Real Madrid also failed to make progress, with Atletico said to have been angered by a £129m approach earlier in the window.

Against that backdrop, ******* nal have explored whether Gyokeres could be used as a makeweight in negotiations. At this stage, that appears to be no more than an exploratory concept. Atletico hold interest in the Sweden striker, but ******* nal have not yet decided whether they would sanction any sale, and talks over Alvarez remain at an early stage.
What is clear is that ******* nal's recruitment team are keeping several attacking tracks alive at once. Interest in Morgan Rogers continues, while positive discussions are also ongoing with Club Brugge over Greek winger Christos Tzolis. Those moves are understood to be separate from any attempt to land Alvarez, underlining the club's desire to add flexibility and variety in the final third after Leandro Trossard's £17million move to Besiktas was confirmed.

Christos Tzolis's proposed move to ***** nal is reportedly 'set to accelerate'.

Ben Jacobs notes on X (formerly Twitter) that the deal – potentially costing around £30m-35m – will have no impact on the Gunners' push to bring Morgan Rogers to north London.
This comes despite the Greek forward publicly suggesting he'd sign off on a transfer to a 'crazy team' like Liverpool.
Another day, another rival closing in on a move for a quality footballer – and this one potentially coming at an astonishingly low price in the current market.

Arsenal are stepping up efforts to sign Kolkheti 1913 attacker Andria Bartishvili, according to the BBC reporter Sami Mokbel. The Gunners missed out on Jeremy Monga after the England youth international snubbed the Emirates Stadium club for Manchester City. ***** nal are looking elsewhere and the 17-year-old Bartishvili has emerged as a target as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his ranks at the North London club. The Gunners are monitoring the Georgia under-21 international, sending recruitment specialist Micheli to watch him play for Iberia 1999 against Flora in their Champions League qualifier last Wednesday.
The 'very special' teenage sensation is currently on loan with Iberia 1999 and has been dubbed the biggest Georgian talent since Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. ***** nal are not the only Premier League keen on Bartishvili, with Liverpool also looking to bring him to England. The Emirates club will be desperate not to miss out on another talented attacker after the Monga blow. They are now stepping up efforts to sign him and could look to integrate him into the first-team immediately.
Bartishvili has played 39 games at senior level in the Georgian top-flight, weighing in with two goals and four ***** ists. Joining ***** nal could appeal to him as Arteta gives chances to the players in the Gunners' youth ranks. 16-year-old Max Dowman made 13 appearances across all competitions for the North Londoners last term and Bartishvili will get opportunities if he is good enough. A deal could be reached in the coming weeks if ***** nal and Kolkheti 1913 can come to an agreement.

The back injury that France's centre-back William Saliba (25) had been carrying since the later stages of the domestic season finally caught up with him as he was forced off during the first half of les Bleus' semi-final defeat to Spain.
Arsenal defender Saliba had been playing through the pain in order to help the Gunners to win their first ****** le since 2004 and, while the injury had been kept largely under wraps, once the domestic season was over it became the main concern for France ahead of Deschamps' squad announcement.
The national team's staff have largely managed Saliba's back problem well, resting him in friendlies and against Norway in the final group match and dispensing him from much of France's training sessions.
Saliba's performances throughout the tournament alongside Dayot Upamecano had been excellent, despite his showing some signs of discomfort on the poor pitch of the MetLife stadium against Sweden in the round of 32. The Premier League defender's ****** ured showings were a big reason why France had conceded only two goals (one of them in the Norway match) leading up to the semi-final.
However, with France 1-0 down following Spain's successful penalty, Saliba kicked the ball away and slowly lowered himself to the ground on the half-hour mark, saying that his back had gone. He was helped off the pitch looking understandably upset and was replaced by Maxence Lacroix. The Crystal Palace defender put in a good performance considering the difficult circumstances of his entry into the match, but could do nothing to prevent les Bleus' defeat.

Arsenal have reached an agreement to sell Leandro Trossard to Turkish side Besiktas, marking the end of the 31-year-old's three-and-a-half-year stay at the Emirates Stadium.
The Belgium international, who arrived in north London from Brighton in January 2023, played a pivotal role in Mikel Arteta’s squad last season, helping the Gunners secure their first Premier League **** le in 22 years.
Trossard’s contributions included six goals in 31 league appearances, notably scoring the late winner against West Ham in May, a crucial victory that kept **** nal firmly in the **** le race.
His final outing for the club came in the Champions League final against Paris St Germain, where he **** isted Kai Havertz’s early goal in a 1-1 draw in Budapest before **** nal ultimately lost on penalties.
While Trossard is yet to finalise personal terms with the Turkish club, both sides have publicly confirmed the agreement.

Arsenal have confirmed that a deal has been agreed to sell Leandro Trossard to Besiktas.
The 31-year-old has been granted permission to travel to Istanbul to complete a medical and move to the Turkish club.
Trossard joined ****** nal in 2023 from Brighton, playing 174 times for the club since then and playing a key role in helping Mikel Arteta’s side to win the Premier League last season.
He made 31 Premier League appearances during the last campaign, scoring six goals and setting up another six.
The Gunners are set to receive around £17m for the Belgium international.

Arsenal's reported interest in Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães continues to generate headlines, and now a Magpies legend has admitted losing the Brazilian to the Gunners would be "absolutely devastating".
We have previously covered reports suggesting Guimarães is open to joining the Premier League champions this summer, while Newcastle are yet to receive a formal approach despite speculation surrounding the midfielder's future.
Now, former Newcastle midfielder Lee Clark has shared his thoughts on the situation, acknowledging both the impact Guimarães has had at St James' Park and why he could understand the player's desire to seek a new challenge.
According to NewcastleWorld, sources close to Newcastle have neither confirmed nor denied reports that Guimarães has informed club officials of his desire to join ****** nal.
The report adds that, as things stand, Eddie Howe's side have not received an official approach from ****** nal, with much of the current speculation being driven by intermediaries.

Arsenal could face a more difficult task in their pursuit of Morgan Rogers after Manchester United reportedly reached an agreement to sign Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.
The Gunners have admired Rogers for some time and are expected to increase their interest following the World Cup. However, Aston Villa have maintained that the England international is not available for transfer despite continued speculation over his future.
Although Villa insist that Rogers is not for sale, every player has a value, and the club could consider offers if the right proposal is received. At the same time, they are unlikely to allow too many key players to leave during the same transfer window.
According to Standard Sports, Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Tielemans from Aston Villa. The report suggests that the Belgian midfielder's departure would make it much more difficult for Villa to sanction the sale of another important player such as Rogers.
Tielemans has been one of Villa's most influential performers, and losing him would represent a significant change to the squad. As a result, the club are expected to be reluctant to weaken the team further by allowing Rogers to leave as well.

Arsenal has been one of the biggest contributors to the England national team over the years. The club's academy has consistently produced talented players for the national youth sides, and that tradition has continued at senior level with several Gunners representing their country on the biggest stage.
England's current World Cup squad includes four ***** nal players, underlining the club's continued importance to the national team. Thomas Tuchel selected Eberechi Eze, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke and Declan Rice for the tournament in North America, and each has played a part in England's campaign.
Rice and Madueke have been among the regular starters throughout the competition, helping England reach the World Cup semi-final. Their contributions, alongside those of Saka and Eze, have ensured ***** nal continue to be strongly represented in the national team.
England has overcome several difficult challenges to remain in the tournament and now stands within touching distance of lifting the trophy. Every additional match provides ***** nal's representatives with another opportunity to contribute while also adding to their international appearance totals.
According to ***** nal Media, the appearances of Eze, Saka, Madueke and Rice against Norway have taken ***** nal's combined total to more than 1,000 England caps. The report highlights another significant achievement in the club's long history of producing players for the national team.
