Chelsea bid accepted for star, as Arsenal’s Alvarez move halted – transfer round-up | OneFootball

Chelsea have had a £21 million bid accepted by Swedish side AIK for the highly-rated, 18-year-old winger Zadok Yohanna.

However, The Mail report that, as well as the Blues, Newcastle have also had a bid accepted for the Nigerian. The Magpies are searching for reinforcements after selling Anthony Gordon to Barcelona.

Despite playing just seven league matches, Yohanna has caught the eye of many top European clubs. The AIK forward will now have the ability to choose his next destination.

Meanwhile, the Julian Alvarez transfer saga continues to develop. Barcelona have been leading the race for the Argentina international, but Atletico Madrid are unwilling to sell to their La Liga rivals. This should come as a major boost to Arsenal, who are next in line to land the star.

The Gunners are continuing to pursue a striker this summer. However, according to Spanish media Cadena Ser, Alvarez has no desire or intention to move to London. This could act as a roadblock to Mikel Arteta’s plans to lure the 26-year-old to the Emirates.

Elsewhere, another player that Arsenal had their eye on is about to slip out of their hands. The Premier League champions had been linked with Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown. However, Sky Germany report that Bayern Munich have now reached a full agreement with the 22-year-old.
