Transfer News: Done Deal, Chelsea target could become available, Man Utd eye ‘technical’ winger

Chelsea target could become available

Inter Milan owner Steven Zhang wants to bring in around £65m from player sales in the final month of the market.

That means either Denzel Dumfries of Milan Skriniar leaving – both of whom have been linked to Chelsea.

According to Corriere dello Sport, coach Simone Inzaghi met Zhang yesterday and reiterated his desire to keep both defenders, leading to an ongoing debate at Inter.

Man Utd eye ‘technical’ winger

Manchester United have made contact with the entourage of PSV winger Cody Gakpo, according to ESPN.

The Dutchman, who scored twice in the opening round of Eredivisie fixtures, has a £35million price tag and is currently managed by Red Devils hero Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Erik ten Hag is said to be impressed with Gakpo, 23, who is reportedly open to joining United if terms can be agreed.

Man Utd offered Morata

Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, according to ESPN.

The Red Devils have withdrawn their interest in Marko Arnautovic after fans complained about the prospect of signing the Bologna star, but Erik ten Hag remains intent on signing a physical striker.

Gil set for Valencia return

Valencia are hopeful of concluding a season-long loan deal for Tottenham winger Bryan Gil.

As reported by Diario AS, Gil – who spent the second half of last season on loan at Los Che after joining Spurs from Sevilla last summer – is nearing a return to the Mestalla with the two clubs in negotiations over the wage structure.

Hull interested in signing Watford right-back Jeremy Ngakia

The Athletic has learnt that Hull are interested in signing Watford right-back Jeremy Ngakia. The 21-year-old has had limited opportunities at Vicarage Road since signing on a free transfer from West Ham in 2020.

It’s unclear at this stage whether Watford would be prepared to let Ngakia leave.

Watford replaced Kiko Femenia with Mario Gaspar in that position (effectively a swap with Villarreal) and have been playing Hassane Kamara as a makeshift right wingback.
