Michael Carrick is also eyeing up Newcastle pair Sandro Tonali and Lewis Hall. Ederson, from Atalanta, is expected to be their first new arrival to replace Casemiro.

Chelsea make Acheampong untouchable

Chelsea have rejected multiple transfer approaches for highly-rated young defender Josh Acheampong.

The youngster found himself limited to just 17 Premier League appearances, eight of which were starts, and only completed 90 minutes on one occasion, a goalless draw at home to Crystal Palace in the first match of the season.

Despite his fringe role last campaign, though, Chelsea have no plans to sell the talented defender. Standard Sport understands the club has rebuffed multiple approaches for Acheampong’s services from clubs in England and Europe.

He has been dubbed untouchable ahead of Xabi Alonso’s move to west London.

Atletico 'expect Arsenal to make Alvarez bid as contact made'

Atletico Madrid expect Arsenal to make a move for Julian Alvarez.

Barcelona remain keen admirers of Alvarez, and appear to be Arsenal’s biggest rivals for the player’s signature.

However, Atletico are reportedly refusing to do business with Barca after growing frustrated with media coverage around their player’s future.

Spanish out RAC1 reported on Tuesday that Barca’s first bid, worth €100 million (£86.4m) was rejected by Atletico, who will continue to block the player’s move to Camp Nou.

That leaves Arsenal in pole position.

The same report claims that the Gunners have been in contact with Alvarez’s agent and Atletico are now waiting on official talks to begin.

Atletico have set their asking price at €150m (£129.6m), which would be break the record spent by a British club - surpassing the £120m Liverpool paid for Alexander Isak last summer.

A supposed source at Atletico was quoted by Libertad Digital said of Alvarez’s admirers: “Two weeks ago it was PSG, last week Barcelona, now Arsenal. We count on Julian for next season.”

Barcelona lodge first Alvarez bid

Barcelona believe they are closing in on a deal to sign Julian Alvarez, despite Atletico Madrid’s public stance.

Atletico Madrid questioned reports of an offer from their La Liga rivals over the weekend, but Barcelona maintain that a formal bid worth £86.5 million has been made.

Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo reports that Alvarez has already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with Barcelona, although the two clubs have yet to reach an agreement on a transfer fee.

The Catalan side appear to be Arsenal’s strongest rivals in the race to sign the Argentine forward, who is no stranger to the Premier League after spending two seasons at Manchester City.
