Arsenal draw up summer transfer shortlist after Bayern defeat – Paper Round

Arsenal plan summer overhaul

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is planning to strengthen his forward line next season with a shortlist of names in the frame.

Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sekso, Pedro Neto, Alexander Isak, Nico Williamsand Martin Zubimendi are all suggested by the Mirror.

The paper writes: “Mikel Arteta will be given major funds to help bolster his strike force after Arsenal’s Champions League exit.

“Arsenal have been tracking Sporting Lisbon centre forward Viktor Gyokeres, RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko and are long term admirers of Alexander Isak but Newcastle are unlikely to sell. Wolves winger Pedro Neto is top of their list of potential wide players but they have also scouted Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams.

“Arsenal also want Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi as part of their rebuild and a new partner for Declan Rice.”

Chelsea and more chase Sesko

Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are all keen on RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko.

The Slovenian forward is attracting interest after he continued to impress for his Bundesliga side.

The Evening Standard reports: “Arsenal are stepping up their plans to sign a forward this summer, with RB Leipzig frontman Benjamin Sesko on their radar.

“The Gunners are drawing up transfer plans after their Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.

“Arsenal will face competition for the 20-year-old Slovenian, with Chelsea and Manchester United also tracking him.

“Sesko’s representatives have been guests at both Chelsea and Manchester United matches this season.”

Lijnders wanted by Besiktas

Besiktas hope to land Pep Lijnders when he leaves Liverpool along with Jurgen Klopp.

The Dutchman is looking for a fresh challenge and the Turkish side sacked Fernando Santos already this month.

The Athletic explains: “Besiktas are the latest club to show an interest in Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders.

“The Turkish club are searching for a new head coach after sacking Fernando Santos earlier this month, and they rate the Dutchman highly.

“Lijnders will leave Liverpool after a decade of service next month when the curtain comes down on Jurgen Klopp’s reign.

“The 41-year-old, who intends to pursue a managerial career of his own, is continuing to assess his options ahead of embarking on a new challenge this summer.

“He has also been linked with Ajax, who appointed John van ’t Schip as interim coach following the departure of Maurice Steijn earlier this season.”

Benitez set for Sao Paulo job

The Sun reports that former Real Madrid boss Rafael Benitez is close to joining Sao Paulo as their new manager.

The experienced Spaniard left Celta Vigo a month ago and is already close to a new gig.

The paper states: “Rafa Benitez is the top candidate to take over as manager at Sao Paulo.

“Former Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton boss Benitez, 64, has been out of a job for a month after being sacked by Celta Vigo.

“Negotiations have been brokered by super agent Giuliano Bertolucci, who represents some of the best Brazilian players like Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Magalhaes and Marquinhos.

“If Benitez signs with the Brazilian giants then he will be linking up with the same team that denied him the Club World Cup in 2005.”

Salah strike in vain as Liverpool dumped out of Europe by Atalanta

Mohamed Salah was on target but Liverpool’s hopes of a famous comeback were thwarted as they bowed out of the UEFA Europa League at the quarter-final stage despite a 1-0 victory at Atalanta.

Jurgen Klopp’s men faced an almost impossible task following a shock 3-0 home reversal in the first leg at Anfield and so it proved as La Dea progressed 3-1 on aggregate.

The Merseyside club got off to the perfect start on seven minutes when Salah netted his 24th goal of the season from the penalty spot.

The Egyptian then wasted a gilt-edged chance to double Liverpool’s lead on the night when he lobbed wide when sent clear by Cody Gakpo.

Atalanta improved following the interval and should have levelled but Ederson shot straight at Alisson.

Liverpool ran out of ideas midway through the second period and never looked like setting up a barnstorming finale in what will prove to be Klopp’s final match in charge in Europe.

Atalanta will now meet Marseille or Benfica in the semi-finals. Liverpool will turn their full attention to the Premier League title race and a match at Fulham on Sunday.

Talking Point – Liverpool fall short as Klopp’s farewell tour comes down to Premier League push

When Salah struck inside the opening 10 minutes the talk of stirring European comebacks gathered momentum on social platforms, but in the end it wasn’t to be as Liverpool’s first-leg nightmare proved too much of a mountain to climb.

Klopp may well regret picking a weakened side to start that game at Anfield and he didn’t make that mistake here, with Trent Alexander-Arnold showing how influential he can be early on in his first start since injury. Understandably, he ran out of steam – and so did his teammates – with the visitors’ first-half promise fizzling out.

Indeed, Liverpool won the night but it’s the Italians who move on after securing arguably the finest triumph in their history.

The Merseysiders will now need to focus all their energies on their final six Premier League matches, with no margin for error and favours needed to reel Manchester City back in.

Player of the match

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool). The right-back demonstrated the creativity the Reds have been missing in his absence on what was his first start since February 10. It was his cross that led to the only goal while his comfort in possession and long-range passing caught the eye for the majority of his 70 minutes on the pitch. It may not have helped a Liverpool revival here, but it bodes well for the PL run-in.

Man Utd, Liverpool in ‘bidding war’ for Brazilian teen Nunes – Paper Round

United join race for Nunes

The Sun reports that Manchester United are the latest side to show an interest in Brazilian teenager Gustavo Nunes.

The 18-year-old forward is attracting attention from around the Premier League.

The paper writes: “Manchester United have joined Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool in the bidding war for a Brazilian wonderkid.

“United sent a scout to Brazil to watch Gremio starlet Gustavo Nunes, 18, in action last week during the 2-0 loss to Huachipato in the Copa Libertadores.

“Gustavinho, as he has been nicknamed by fans, only made his senior debut in February but quickly rose through the ranks after impressing manager Renato Gaucho.

“The winger came on as a half-time substitute as he replaced Everton and showed his skills in front of the Red Devils’ representative.”

Shakhtar youngster attracting interest

Shakhtar Donetsk expect to sell their promising young midfielder Georgiy Sudakov with some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League interested.

Serie A’s Napoli have already made an offer in January, but the Ukrainian side are looking to cash in this summer.

The Evening Standard reports: “Shakhtar Donetsk believe £60million-rated midfielder Georgiy Sudakov will “definitely” follow Mykhailo Mudryk in leaving Ukraine for a top Premier League club this summer.

“Arsenal are tipped to make a move for the 21-year-old, who is widely considered the next top talent to emerge from Ukrainian football and has also been linked with Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool.

“Shakhtar officials have been in London this week as they plan for the summer transfer window, when they expect to lose their star man Sudakov.

“Napoli had a £34m bid for Sudakov, who has 14 Ukraine caps, rejected in January and did not match the £43m counter offer from Shakhtar, which did not include potential add-ons.”

Sancho set for Dortmund transfer

Manchester United expect to sell winger Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund when his loan deal ends.

The player is frozen out at Old Trafford but the club hope to have him on his way out soon.

The Daily Star states: “Manchester United are confident of striking a permanent deal with Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho.

“Sancho returned to Dortmund in January on loan for the rest of the season, following his stand off with United boss Erik ten Hag.

“The German outfit do not have a clause in the agreement which makes it permanent – meaning Sancho will return to United on July 1.

“But United bosses are still determined to sell Sancho, and believe a price can be agreed with the Bundesliga club.

“And while new United investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe is willing to cut his losses on Sancho, he will still demand a fee in the region of £45m for the 23-year-old.”

Toney wants huge pay rise

Ivan Toney hopes that when he moves on from Brentford that he will secure a big increase in his salary.

The Mirror explains that the forward is expected to be sold in the summer and Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are all linked.

The paper reports: “Ivan Toney is after a pay packet which would see him earn more than Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.

“England and Brentford striker Toney is expected to leave his club over the summer, with the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea previously linked with a swoop in addition to United. The 28-year-old has four goals in 13 club outings since returning from a betting ban, after scoring 20 in the Premier League last season.

“United were keen to add a striker in January but financial restrictions stood in their way. While Toney may fit the bill for manager Erik ten Hag, his reported demands could upset high earner Fernandes.

“Toney is after £250,000 per week, the equivalent of £13m per year. That’s said to be £10,000 per week more than Fernandes, with the demands also potentially standing in the way of a new Brentford deal for Toney.

“Fernandes isn’t United’s highest earner, despite wearing the armband. That honour is understood to belong to Casemiro, with Raphael Varane, Marcus Rashford and out-on-loan Jadon Sancho all on £300,000 or more per week. Mason Mount and Anthony Martial are reported to be on £250,000 per week, though the latter is set to depart in the summer.”

How to watch Atalanta v Liverpool on TNT Sports and discovery+

Former West Ham forward Gianluca Scamacca left Jurgen Klopp needing a miracle as he scored twice in an impressive Atalanta performance.
After Liverpool’s 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace at the weekend in the Premier League, their campaign for further silverware needs to quickly get back on track.

European comebacks are a Liverpool speciality and Klopp has produced some incredible nights in his era at Anfield, including a famed win over Barcelona in the 2019 Champions League semi-final. After losing 3-0 in the first leg, Liverpool produced an iconic 4-0 win in front of the Kop to head to a final that they eventually won.

A comeback could be on the cards, but Klopp will need to shore up his team’s leaky defence or else their dream of another European title will be vanquished.
