Manchester United is interested in signing Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, while Arsenal seems to be ahead in the race to acquire Benjamin Sesko.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Ajax, has made a defiant statement regarding his future at Manchester United. He stated, “If they don’t want me, I will go anywhere else to win trophies.” This comes as speculation grows about his potential move to United.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is considering a move for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah. With injuries plaguing their defense and Raphael Varane leaving the club, United is eager to strengthen their backline. Chalobah, a 24-year-old defender, is reportedly available for £25 million and is on United’s shortlist.
According to The Independent, Chelsea is willing to do business on Chalobah or Connor Gallagher to meet profit and sustainability rules. United is weighing up a bid for Chalobah, but any move would come as part of a planned overhaul of their recruitment approach. The new Ineos-run football leadership aims to sign players under the age of 25 who fit into modern pressing demands.
In other transfer news, Arsenal seems to have won the battle to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. The 20-year-old Slovenian international scored 14 goals in 31 Bundesliga appearances last season. Sesko reportedly prefers a move to Arsenal over Chelsea and Manchester United, giving the Gunners a significant boost in their pursuit of the £45 million-rated forward.
Saudi Pro League clubs have shown interest in Liverpool duo Luis Diaz and Joe Gomez.
