Exclusive: Arsenal to trigger Williams clause

FootballTransfers can exclusively reveal that Arsenal are ready to trigger Nico Williams' release clause.

The Spain international is also on the radar of Barcelona and a free-spending PSG.

Ten Hag's future

Saturday was all about Erik ten Hag who made headlines in the morning with an explosive interview.

He revealed what the owners told him about his future.

He then outcoached Pep Guardiola to win the FA Cup thanks to his only positive Man Utd legacy: Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho.

He achieved this without Casemiro, whom he dropped, hinting at another falling-out.

Afterwards, he brazenly said that he didn't care if he got sacked because he would just go somewhere else to win titles.
