Gyokeres 'did well' as Arsenal grind out Old Trafford win

Arsenal are reportedly in the market for another new striker after a major injury blow to Kai Havertz .

The transfer market is hotting up with one forward in the centre of the market, Alexander Isak , changing the tone of his saga late on Tuesday night with an explosive statement . He accused Newcastle United of “broken promises” and “lost trust” with Liverpool still strongly linked with a move for the Swedish striker.

The Reds’ offer of £110m fell well short of Newcastle’s valuation with the deadline for the transfer window now fast approaching, but the player has three more years on his contract, retaining some leverage for Eddie Howe’s side.

The Premier League champions are still linked with Crystal Palace ’s Marc Guehi , too, with the England defender a year away from becoming a free agent , though the FA Cup holders have stood firm on a valuation, despite the difficult situation.

Rodrigo Muniz is set to sign a new contract at Fulham, reports Miguel Delaney .

The Brazilian striker, who scored the late equaliser at Brighton last weekend to earn the Cottagers a point, was linked with a move to Atalanta.

But Muniz, after Fulham knocked back a £35m bid for the 23-year-old, is now set to remain at Craven Cottage for the foreseeable future.

Thi is perhaps a slightly surprising development – Galatasaray are pushing to sign Manuel Akanji.

Akanji has become an integral part of Manchester City’s defence, intelligent and versatile in what he offers across the back line. But Pep Guardiola is open to the move as he bids to reduce the City squad before the deadline, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Negotiations underway but no agreements in place yet.
