Man Utd to miss out on attacker as Newcastle United hold ‘talks’ with target
Euro 2024 is currently taking center stage, but behind the scenes, Premier League clubs are busy with the transfer window open for business. Teams across the country are actively seeking new talent to strengthen their squads.
Manchester City clinched the title again last season and are determined to defend their crown. However, Liverpool and Arsenal are both eager to challenge their dominance and are making moves to bolster their squads.
Meanwhile, Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton have ascended to the top flight, replacing Burnley, Luton Town, and Sheffield United. Here’s a look at some of the latest transfer news and rumors circulating in the Premier League.
Manchester United and Manchester City are both set to miss out on signing Michael Olise from Crystal Palace. Despite late attempts by both clubs, Olise is poised to join Bayern Munich, as reported by The Mirror.
Olise, 22, has been a crucial player for Crystal Palace since his 2021 move from Reading. He has made 90 appearances for the Eagles, scoring 16 goals across all competitions.
The talented winger is now set to link up with Vincent Kompany at the Allianz Arena, despite interest from United and City.
Bayern Munich, who narrowly missed out on the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen last season, will be hoping Olise can help them reclaim their crown.
Newcastle United are reportedly in talks to sign Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, according to Sky Sports. The forward has just 12 months remaining on his contract at Goodison Park.
Manager Eddie Howe sees Calvert-Lewin as a potential key addition to bolster Newcastle’s attacking options for the upcoming season.
Calvert-Lewin, who came through the academy at Sheffield United, gained valuable experience with loan spells at Stalybridge Celtic and Northampton Town.
He broke into Sheffield United’s first team before joining Everton in 2016. Since then, the Yorkshireman has scored 68 goals in 248 appearances for the Toffees.
Now, he’s being linked with a move to the North East, where he could spearhead Newcastle’s attack.
Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has joined Wrexham on a free transfer following his departure from Arsenal. Okonkwo, who spent last season on loan with the Welsh side, played a pivotal role in their promotion from League Two.
With the club now preparing for life in League One under the ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Okonkwo is excited to return.
“I’m feeling very good, I’m so happy to have finally signed and I can’t wait to get back to it,” said Okonkwo. “Last season was amazing. We had so many good memories with the fans, and knowing they wanted me back was a big reason I returned. It’s good to finally be here.”
Okonkwo’s return bolsters Wrexham’s squad as they aim to continue their impressive rise through the English football leagues.
The young goalkeeper feels at home at the club, praising the supportive environment created by the co-chairmen, manager, coaches, players, and backroom staff.
As the transfer window progresses, Premier League clubs are making strategic moves to enhance their squads for the upcoming season. From title contenders like Manchester City and Liverpool to ambitious clubs like Newcastle United and Wrexham, the transfer market is buzzing with activity. Fans eagerly await to see how these new signings will impact their teams’ fortunes in the new campaign. Stay tuned for more updates and rumors as the transfer window unfolds.
