Ajax

Ajax director Edwin van der Sar on Manchester United links: “It's never been that close. I’ve a good relationship with Man United board and I had a fantastic six years in Manchester, but I'm not finished here [at Ajax] yet.”

Arsenal

I’m aware that there’s been some speculation about Arsenal being interested in Eintracht Frankfurt defender Evan Ndicka.

I’m told there are many, but really many clubs interested in Ndicka. I’m also told there’s a very good chance for Ndicka to leave on a free, so many clubs - not just in England - are exploring the situation.

Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo: “Rodrigo de Paul for sale? We don’t know anything about it. De Paul is a good player, he’s from Atlético de Madrid, we’re happy with him. We don’t have any problems, there can’t even be any doubts.”

Bayern Munich

Bayern director Hasan Salihamidzic on Harry Kane: “For sure Kane is a top player in the world, but we don't talk about players under contract at other clubs. I'm sure that Mathys Tel will also show what he can do this season.”

💬 Would Harry Kane be the right fit for Bayern Munich? Does he need to leave Spurs for a club like this in order to win trophies? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Brighton

Roberto De Zerbi on Billy Gilmour: “I really like Gilmour, I think he can improve a lot with us. But Caicedo and Mac Allister are two big players for us. He has to find the space to play and I have to give him more space but it is difficult.”
