Arsenal agree deal for USMNT goalkeeper Turner

Arsenal have reached an agreement with the New England Revolution to sign United States men's national team goalkeeper Matt Turner this summer, GOAL can confirm.

The 27-year-old enjoyed a stellar 2021 for club and country and will now look to compete against Gunners starter Aaron Ramsdale with Bernd Leno's future in doubt.

Turner was the 2021 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year after leading the Revolution to the Supporters' Shield last season, which has captured the attention of clubs in Europe.

Wolves set asking price for Man Utd & Arsenal-linked Neves

Wolves have set their final asking price for Manchester United and Arsenal-linked midfielder Ruben Neves - according to The Sun.

The Wanderers won't accept any bids below £40 million ($54m) for the 24-year-old and are growing increasingly confident that he will stay put until the summer.

Neither United or Arsenal have formalised their interest in Neves yet, whose current contract at Molineux is not due to expire until 2024.

Tottenham interested in Bayern keeper Nubel

Tottenham are considering a transfer swoop for Bayern Munich goalkeeper Alexander Nubel, GOAL and SPOX can confirm.

Bayern signed Nubel as a free agent following his departure from Schalke in June 2020, having identified him as the ideal long-term successor for first-choice shot-stopper Manuel Neuer.

However, the 25-year-old has since made just four senior appearances for the German champions and is currently taking in a loan spell at Monaco to get more regular minutes.

Diaz to Spurs held up by Mendes involvement

Luis Diaz's proposed move to Tottenham from Porto is being held up due to the involvement of super-agent Jorge Mendes - according to The Sun.

Diaz has also been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United, but Spurs are pushing to make him their first signing of the winter window.

Barca contact Dortmund over Meunier loan

Barcelona have contacted Borussia Dortmund over a possible loan deal for Thomas Meunier - according to Marca.
