Good morning everyone and welcome to the latest edition of the Daily Briefing! Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy :-)

Today’s top stories:

• Arsenal edge closer to midfield signing.

• Harry Kane lifts Bundesliga title.

• Defender keen on Liverpool move.

Arsenal

• Arsenal agree deal to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, here we go!

  Zubimendi has now verbally agreed to sign a long term deal… so formal steps must follow soon with Arsenal to trigger €60m clause. Zubi, ready to become the first signing of the new season.

Barcelona

• Alejandro Baldé and Marc Casadó get the green light to return as part of Barça squad, available for El Clasico.

• Hansi Flick: “I don't think either Balde or Lewandowski will start El Clásico, maybe they will get minutes in the second half. Gerard Martin is doing very well. Szczesny will start in goal”.

• Hansi Flick: “I’m happy with Szczesny, I’d like him to stay and I think he’s happy in Barcelona too!. You know he smokes a little, which I’ve never seen before… but well, he’s at the right age and he’s calmer!”.

• Raphinha: “I will be forever grateful to Hansi Flick. He changed my entire career. He wanted to see me train before taking any decision with my future. He saw me in his plans. Without Flick, I was maybe at another club and not at Barça now”.
