Atletico Madrid interested in Pulisic

2023-02-13T21:30:52.000Z

Christian Pulisic looks set to leave Chelsea at the end of the season, and Spanish outlet Fichajes are reporting that Atletico Madrid are one of the clubs monitoring his situation.

The relationship between the two clubs following the loan signing of Joao Felix this January is thought to aid any sort of move, with Atletico hopeful to land the USMNT star on a cut-price deal.

Pulisic has fallen out of favour under Graham Potter, and any progress has been cut short by numerous injury issues.

Costa to leave Wolves in the summer

2023-02-13T20:15:54.000Z

Diego Costa looks set to leave Wolves in the summer, according to journalist Dean Jones.

"I mean, it was always viewed as a short-term solution this one while they figured out how to move forward; it's not impossible to get another year if things were to really pick up, but it's still unlikely that he stays," Jones told GiveMeSport.

The veteran forward signed from Atletico Miniero on a free transfer last September following the ACL injury suffered by Sasa Kaladjzic. However, given the multitude of attacking options now at head coach Julen Lopetegui's disposal, Costa will likely not extend his stay beyond the 2022-23 campaign.

Brazilian starlet Vitor Roque is reportedly top of Arsenal's summer transfer shortlist, writes Spanish AS, as sporting director Edu is thought to have already made contact with his representative.

The 17-year-old centre-forward currently plays for Brazilian outfit Athletico Paranaense and recently featured in the South American U-20 Championship for eventual winners Brazil.

Despite Arsenal being committed to landing the youngster's signature, the Gunners look set to face competition from Barcelona in the pursuit.

The Dutch full-back had a falling out with head coach Jose Mourinho back in November after a draw against Sassuolo, and has not been a part of his plans since.

It was largely expected that he would leave the club in January as a result, but he didn't and now looks set to receive a second chance after a three-month exile.

Leeds Utd target interim manager after failed approaches

2023-02-13T17:15:00.000Z

Leeds United will look to appoint a manager on interim basis until the end of the season after their approach for Andoni Iraola failed, according to The Guardian.

The current Rayo Vallecano boss had been identified as a target for the job, but he is unwilling to leave his post in Spain.

With moves for all their desired candidates - including Arne Slot, Alfred Schreuder and Marcelo Gallardo all failing - it looks increasingly likely that they will instead appoint someone to try and steer them away from relegation, before reassessing at the end of the season.

According to transfer insider Dean Jones, Youri Tielemans could still join Arsenal in the summer.

The Leicester City midfielder will likely see his contract expire in June, and the Gunners have been linked heavily in recent transfer windows, though no deal has ever materialised.

Jones told GiveMeSport: "Ultimately, the player now has a big window of opportunity in terms of where he could land next.

Mount tipped for Liverpool switch

2023-02-12T21:08:02.113Z

Former goalkeeper Paul Robinson has suggested that Mason Mount would be keen on a summer transfer to Liverpool amid recent links.

Whilst both Chelsea and the Reds look as though they could miss out on Champions League football next season, the pundit has claimed this wouldn't prevent any potential deal.

The former England goalkeeper told Football Insider: "Liverpool are an attractive proposition for the player even when they are not in the Champions League. It was not so long ago that they were in the Champions League final.

“I think Mount would see it as a great opportunity despite the recent struggles.

“Liverpool have to invest. I know that the owners are trying to sell the club but they have to invest at the same time. The must protect the club and protect their asset."
