Arsenal tipped to sign Brozovic

First up and the Express are reporting that Arsenal are favourites to sign Marcelo Brozovic with Inter Milan set to hold talks with interested clubs next week.

Brozovic joined Inter from Dinamo Zagreb in 2015 heralded as one of the most promising young midfielders in European football and he’s now a regular with the Croatian national team.

The 24-year-old endured a mixed campaign last season and speculation has linked him with a move away from the San Siro this summer with a switch to north London now in the pipeline.

The Express cite a report from SportItalia that claims Inter will hold talks with potential suitors over the coming week with Arsenal the most keen to get a deal agreed to sign Brozovic before the window closes.

Arsene Wenger has been tipped to sign another midfielder this summer as the long-term future’s of Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Santi Cazorla are in serious doubt so reinforcements are needed.

Brozovic appears to be on Arsenal’s radar and the Croatian midfielder could prove to be a shrewd piece of business if the Gunners can snap him up at the right price.

Spurs close-in on Foyth

Next up and the Guardian claim that Tottenham are hoping to wrap-up a £9m deal to sign Juan Foyth from Estudiantes over the coming days.

The north Londoners have been strongly linked with Foyth in recent months as Mauricio Pochettino looks to try and further strengthen his defensive options before the window closes.

The 19-year-old has been with Estudiantes his entire career having joined the clubs youth ranks and has progressed through the system to become a first team regular.

Foyth caught the eye of several top European clubs after playing for his country at the U20 World Cup earlier in the summer but it looks as though Spurs are now closing-in on his signature.

The Guardian claim that with Inter Milan and PSG also eyeing the centre-back, Tottenham have now entered advanced negotiations with Estudiantes over a £9m deal and hope to get the transfer wrapped-up over the coming days.
