Plus, Man Utd are eyeing a forgotten former Chelsea wonderkid and Man City have experienced a mad 48 hours. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Exclusive: Arsenal want Duran

FootballTransfers understands that Arsenal are looking at Aston Villa's Jhon Duran as an alternative to Viktor Gyokeres.

More clubs have joined the race for the latter, which would make it more difficult for Arsenal to sign him.

The Gunners have also been interested in Benjamin Sesko, but they may have dodged a bullet by missing out on him.

Man Utd want Dibling

Man Utd are interested in Southampton wonderkid Tyler Dibling who had a very forgettable spell at his favourite club Chelsea at one point.

Here is everything you need to know about one of this season's breakout stars.

Man City madness

Man City were fuming after their 2-2 draw with Arsenal, but the Cityzens are hypocrites.

After the game, Erling Haaland was caught on camera ranting at Mikel Arteta and company.

Rodri, meanwhile, will likely miss most if not all of the season after suffering an ACL injury.

A replacement is already being lined up.

Real Madrid's war of words

While Haaland insulted Arteta, Jude Bellingham took aim at a LaLiga referee - and he has gotten away with it.

In other news, former Valencia president Paco Roig has launched into a bizarre racist tirade against Vini Jr.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has also spoken to the public and he sent a clear message to his heir apparent Xabi Alonso.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Enzo Millot is in stunning form at VfB Stuttgart. Could he be Arsenal's wildcard Martin Odegaard replacement?

Rio Ferdinand has questioned Erik ten Hag's handling of Marcus Rashford's situation at Man Utd.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has aimed a sly dig at Jurgen Klopp.

A former Chelsea midfielder has admitted that leaving Stamford Bridge was a blessing for his career.

Christopher Nkunku is reportedly fighting for his future at Chelsea.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has seemingly suffered a career-threatening injury.

Barcelona could therefore sign a free agent and a former Liverpool flop is among their targets.

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that the 'best in the world' has been handed a new Real Madrid contract.

Chelsea have been told to stop looking for a new striker as Nicolas Jackson continues to thrive.

Man Utd are looking at long-term replacements for Bruno Fernandes.

Could Victor Osimhen end up at Juventus next year?

Lastly, Mykhailo Mudryk will be given one more chance to salvage his Chelsea career.
