Arsenal turn down two offers for midfielder and Ederson eyes Man City exit – latest transfer news | OneFootball

Arsenal have reportedly rejected bids from two clubs for attacking midfielder Emile Smith-Rowe.

Sky Sports say both Crystal Palace and Fulham have made offers for the 23-year-old but that the Gunners have rejected both.

Discussions are said to be ongoing internally at both clubs over whether to go back in with an improved offer, with Smith-Rowe keen on receiving more first-team football.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have confirmed that both Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares have left the club.

Lokonga spent last season on loan at Luton Town and now joins Spanish club Sevilla on an initial loan with an option to buy for around €12m. Sky Sports say Arsenal have inserted 25% sell-on clause for the midfielder.

Tavares, meanwhile, joins Lazio on a loan with an obligation to buy for €5m.

It comes after The Athletic’s David Ornstein reported Arsenal have reached a €1m agreement with Ajax to sign goalkeeper Tommy Setford.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Saudi Arabia side Al Nassr have made an initial proposal to Man City for goalkeeper Ederson worth €30m, but that City are holding out for €50m to let Ederson leave despite the Brazilian having already agreed terms with Al Nassr.

Elsewhere, Manchester United are continuing to work on deals for Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt and Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, Sky Sports say, and also hold interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah and PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte.

United have also agreed a €50m (£42m) deal with Lille for Lenny Yoro but are awaiting the players’ decision.
