Exclusive transfer updates on Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle and more!

Happy Monday guys, I hope you enjoy my latest Daily Briefing, thanks as always for reading and commenting! :-)

Today’s top stories:

  • Chelsea had a strong interest in Youssoufa Moukoko

  • How close was Eddie Nketiah to leaving Arsenal?

  • Plus more from Spurs, Newcastle, Man Utd and Barcelona

Ajax

It’s gone a bit quiet on Edson Alvarez and Mohammed Kudus recently, and at the moment I don’t see Ajax selling their stars in January, not easy at all. Let’s see if some English club will move but it’s really not easy after they sold many players in the summer.

Arsenal

What a performance by Eddie Nketiah yesterday as his brace helped Arsenal to a 3-2 win over Manchester United! Despite rumours, he was not close to leaving in the summer - Arsenal were clear in the plan to let Folarin Balogun leave on loan and keep Nketiah. They have been very clear, Mikel Arteta was crucial in this process and they always trusted him, in particular the director Edu Gaspar. Now we can see the trust is paying off, he’s been in superb form to fill in for the injured Gabriel Jesus.
