Exclusive: Arsenal, City want Ferguson

FootballTransfers understands that Arsenal and Man City are considering a late move for Brighton's Evan Ferguson.

Exclusive: Man Utd sweating over Ugarte

We are also told that Man Utd are facing a race against time in their attempts to sign Manuel Ugarte before the deadline, with the deal not as close as is being claimed.

However, Man Utd are moving towards finally freeing up the necessary funds for his signing.

Is he the right option for the Red Devils though? Man Utd may have let a brilliant alternative slip through their fingers - again.

Exclusive: Augsburg to reject Engels bid

Celtic have launched a bid for Augsburg midfielder Arne Engels, but we hear that it's unlikely to be accepted.

Osimhen bid and Chelsea shock

Saudi giants Al-Ahli have made an official bid for Victor Osimhen.

However, the player's agent appears to have ruled out a move away from Europe.

This is bad news for the Saudi Pro League as trouble is brewing.

However, just because Osimhen doesn't want to go to Saudi doesn't mean that he wants to go to Chelsea.
