Graham Potter turns down offer from Ajax

Former Chelsea boss Graham Potter has reportedly turned down the Ajax manager role as the Dutch giants allegedly could not match his salary demands. The 48-year-old has been out of work since getting sacked by Chelsea in April 2023. The former Brighton head coach has been linked with roles at Manchester United, Crystal Palace and more recently Ajax. Now, Dutch publication Het Parool claims Potter turned down Ajax's offer as it did not come close to the salary he wanted.

Arsenal consider Guimaraes and Luiz offers

Arsenal may turn their attention to Bruno Guimaraes and Douglas Luiz amid concerns landing Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi may be 'difficult'. According to the Evening Standard, the Gunners want to sign at least one midfielder this summer and have had Zubimendi on their radar for quite some time. The report adds the 25-year-old has been reluctant to leave his boyhood club amid interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona. As that transfer proves difficult, Mikel Arteta's men could move for Newcastle United's Guimaraes and Villa's Luiz but both clubs are reluctant to sell - unless a huge offer comes in.
