By all accounts, Arsenal would love to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United this summer. Arsenal have set aside significant funds to sign a new number nine and they’ve brought in a new sporting director in Andrea Berta who has a history of executing big deals. Berta signed several expensive strikers at Atletico Madrid and he’ll now be integral to Arsenal’s efforts to find an upgrade on Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

TBR Football understands that Leeds United are considering whether to bring Kalvin Phillips back to Elland Road this summer. Phillips has spent the season on loan at Ipswich Town from Manchester City, where he’s played nearly 20 games — the most since he left Leeds in 2022. For one reason or another, Phillips has failed to convince Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, who welcomed Nico Gonzalez to their midfield from FC Porto in January.

Andrea Berta has predominantly whittled Arsenal’s striker search down to two names: Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko. In an ideal world, Arsenal would simply pluck Alexander Isak from Newcastle United’s clutches, but the striker is essentially off-limits at St James’ Park. Therefore, Berta has been spending a ton of time exploring alternatives with the club’s scouting team. And whilst the likes of Dusan Vlahovic or Hugo Ekitike have been mentioned, it’s Gyokeres and Sesko who have prevailed.

Chelsea will once again attack the transfer market this summer as they aim to return to the top of the Premier League and Europe. By all accounts, Chelsea are continuing to plan for the future alongside Enzo Maresca despite an indifferent first season at the club. Perhaps under the club’s previous ownership, Maresca would already be gone, however Todd Boehly and BlueCo seem keen to give the Italian more time.
