Osimhen willing to reject PSG to join Arsenal

Napoli star Victor Osimhen is reportedly willing to reject a move to Paris Saint-Germain in favour of a Premier League transfer.Despite signing a new contract with Napoli in December, with the striker's release clause worth around £113m ($144m), Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed the Nigerian international would leave the club at the end of the season. The 25-year-old has been linked with PSG, Chelsea, and Arsenal, but according to Italian journalist Gianluca di Marzio, Osimhen would rather play in the Premier League next season, rather than return to Ligue 1.

Chelsea set sights on Pickford

Chelsea are actively exploring options to bolster their goalkeeping department, with Everton's Jordan Pickford and Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale emerging as potential targets for the club's first-choice goalkeeper position, reports Football Insider. At 25 years old, Ramsdale's future at Arsenal appears uncertain, especially with the Gunners poised to secure the permanent signing of David Raya from Brentford. This impending move could pave the way for Ramsdale's departure from the Emirates Stadium. However, acquiring Pickford, who is 30 years old, presents a more challenging prospect for Chelsea. Everton is expected to demand a significant fee for their experienced shot-stopper, potentially deterring Chelsea's pursuit.

Cuadrado might seek new club in the summer

Juan Cuadrado, the veteran Colombian wing-back, is anticipated to depart Internazionale during the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite receiving interest from teams in the United States and Mexico, Cuadrado intends to continue his career in Europe, as reported by Calciomercato. Turkey could potentially be a viable option for the experienced wing-back. However, as of now, there has been no significant movement from Super Lig clubs regarding his potential transfer.
