Euros XI of players set for moves
A number of Europe’s finest stars are going into the Euros with their futures yet to be decided.
For some, they will be hoping to use a European Championship triumph as a springboard for a multi-million pound glamour move.
For others, the Euros could be a chance to put them in the shop window for a transfer that would see them play week-in-week-out for a new club.
Here’s a look at 11 stars that could move once the tournament in Germany is wrapped up.
Sesko ‘says yes’ to Arsenal
Benjamin Sesko has “said yes” to a move to Arsenal this summer, according to reports.
The RB Leipzig forward is also attracting interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.
But the Gunners are in pole position to sign the Slovenia international, 20, who has a release clause of £56million – although Arsenal would be looking to pay less than that.
Mikel Arteta is keen to add depth to his squad this summer and have identified Sesko as an ideal fit for the group.
Arsenal icon slams Man Utd
Cesc Fabregas says “it’s no coincidence” three players have had their careers ruined playing at Manchester United.
The Arsenal and Chelsea icon believes Casemiro, Jadon Sancho and Sofyan Amrabat have all taken a nose-dive in form since moving to Old Trafford.
Fabregas said: “Manchester United will come back because they are a big team but look at Jadon Sancho.
“He’s not doing well at United, he goes to Dortmund and he looks again like the player we all thought he was going to be.
“Look at the midfielder that impressed for Morocco at the World Cup [Amrabat], he was fantastic. And then he goes to Man United and he’s not been the same player.
“Casemiro won Champions League after Champions League at Real Madrid.
“He was the best defensive midfielder in the world and then he goes to Manchester United and looks like a completely different player.
“Obviously it makes me think that something is wrong there. It’s not a coincidence that three top, top players come in and they are not good all of a sudden.”
Sancho thanks Dortmund
Jadon Sancho has released a social media statement to thank Borussia Dortmund for his loan spell.
He took to X to write: “What a crazy 6 months @bvb09. We win together we lose together, these moments only make us stronger!
“I’m so grateful to be apart of such an amazing group of players! I want to congratulate Real Madrid on winning the Champions League.
“We came up short on the night, but we should be super proud of ourselves. We are a family and these moments won’t break us! Thank you to everybody who came out to support us on such a special day!
“@BVB I want to thank everyone involved at such an amazing club. I can’t thank you enough for welcoming me back the way you all have during these last 6 months.
“Thank you to Edin Terzić, Sebastian Kehl and Hans-Joachim Watzke for believing in me and bringing me back.
“Finally a special thank you to the BVB fans. Your support is amazing and I’m forever thankful for you all!”
EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal to sell Nketiah
Arsenal are reluctantly set to let Eddie Nketiah leave the club this summer, SunSport can reveal.
The 24-year-old is highly rated by Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, but he is desperate for first team football.
Now after learning he is set to fall further down the pecking order, Nketiah is set to try and secure a move before the start of the season.
SunSport can reveal that Fulham are in pole position and would be willing to pay up to £30million for the striker.
But they are likely to see competition from Crystal Palace and Wolves.
Everton are also interested in a potential year long loan – an option which could appeal to Arsenal because they are reluctant to let him leave.
The Gunners have been notoriously poor sellers in recent years, but there are hopes that, if any clubs want Nketiah, they can start a bidding war that can drive the final price for him to decent levels.
That would also free up cash for Arsenal who are determined to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko during the summer transfer window.
Arsenal and Chelsea ‘block’ stars from Olympics
Arsenal and Chelsea blocked three stars from joining Thierry Henry’s France team ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
According to The Mirror, Arsenal’s record goalscorer wanted William Saliba in his defence but Mikel Arteta refused to let his top centre-back compete for his country.
Chelsea’s new boss Enzo Maresca also needs time to implement his ideas and thus decided against letting Malo Gusto and Benoit Badiashile link up with Henry.
However, there was a compromise as Maresca allowed Lesley Ugochukwu to travel to his homeland as he needs minutes to regain essential form.
