The latest news of moves in the Premier League includes Kai Havertz in Chelsea reaching his logical conclusion, Arsenal sneaking past Man United to point out Gabriel, and Man City is about to spend a lot for some other central defender…
[TRANSFER NEWS: Thiago Silva in Chelsea; Man Utd Brooks]
Kai Havertz in Chelsea is the main “wait, this deal is not closed yet?” move the summer saga. The 21-year-old German is closely associated with a move to Stamford Bridge long before the Blues or Bayer Leverkusen finish their respective seasons. The details of the contract were reportedly agreed between Chelsea and Havertz, but the payment remains a friction point (discussions are ongoing and progressing) as the most recent $94 million offer was not enough to satisfy Leverkusen.
Just 24 hours ago, Manchester United would be close to Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes (simply known as Gabriel), but now Arsenal is close to a 22-year central defence deal. It will charge the Gunners more than $35 million, and on the return they have a bright outlook with almost 40 high-level league appearances, plus a level of organization of delight in the UEFA Champions League, which already has to be. Man United would still be in the race for Gabriel, but will have to develop his offer to adapt or surpass Arsenal’s.

Speaking of long-running sorts of moves, Kalidou Koulibaly can, however, manchester City after the PL team agreed to pay with Napoli for the 29-year-old Senegalese central defender. Koulibaly signed for Nathan Ake, who signed for $52 million this month, and Aymeric Laporte to shape the peak productive rotation, and indeed the estimated highest, in the overall for 3 central defenders. Pep Guardiola can opt for a normal rotation or pass to the end at a 3-way crossing for the 2020–21 Premier League season.
Jack Wilshere’s time at West Ham United ended, as the club is doing everything possible to get the injured 28-year-old midfielder out of his records. Although he only has one year left on his contract, it turns out to be one more year for the Hammers, who would be willing to buy Wilshere as part of their contract. It’s hard to see where it’s going to happen after Wilshere, who has played only 16 PL games in two seasons at London Stadium.
