Arsenal have made a late offer to rival Serie A side Napoli for Fiorentina midfielder Jordan Veretout, according to reports.

Following an indifferent spell during his time at Aston Villa, Veretout has carved out a good reputation for himself in Serie A and was one of La Viola’s standout performers this season.

That has led to interest in the player from Carlo Ancelotti’s Napoli and a deal – reported to be worth around €22m (£19.89m)  – has been struck between the two Serie A sides.

The sale will mark quite the profit for Fiorentina, who paid Villa around €7m to sign Veretout in summer 2017.

But with Unai Emery seeking a new box-to-box midfielder to replace Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal are reported to have matched Napoli’s bid for Vetertout in a bid to bring the Frenchman back to the Premier League.

The Gunners were first linked with the player back in April when it was claimed they had held initial talks with the player’s agent.

Emery is being forced to work with a reduced budget this summer after the Gunners missed the chance to return to the Champions League after defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League final.

The Spanish coach now must work with a reduced budget of around £35m this summer – and L’Equipe claims Vetertout has emerged as a serious option for the Gunners boss.

The 26-year-old scored five times and laid on three other goals this season, with the report claiming Emery thinks the player would be a useful addition to his midfield.

News of Arsenal’s reported interest in Veretout comes after the club were also linked with Sampdoria midfielder Dennis Praet. He is also valued around the €22m mark, but it seems Arsenal may be set to miss out on the Belgian if their bid for Veretout is confirmed.

Veretout is contracted to Fiorentina until 2021 and, as well as Napoli, Sevilla and Roma are also said to be keen on a potential deal for the midfielder.

Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is unsure whether to try and complete a move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes despite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer giving his seal of approval, according to reports.

Fernandes has emerged as a primary target for a number of Premier League clubs, with Liverpool also interested.

Manchester City have reportedly withdrawn from the race to sign the midfielder, but United and Tottenham were thought to be pushing ahead with their plans.

Both see the 24-year-old’s scoring prowess – he has 32 goals and 18 assists in 53 games for Sporting this season – as ideal to solve their respective creativity struggles.

However, O Jogo (via Metro) claims that Woodward has thrown a spanner in the works for United as he has become ‘hesitant’ over a deal for Fernandes.

The report adds that United have stalled and are showing ‘indecision’ during negotiations, despite requesting a meeting next week in Lisbon to discuss the potential transfer.

Any deal for the Portugal international would cost United in the region of £71million with Woodward keen to avoid making any more big-money mistakes.

 

Wales suffered a Euro 2020 setback as Croatia beat them 2-1 on a scorching afternoon in Osijek.

A 17th-minute James Lawrence own goal and an Ivan Perisic strike at the start of the second half sealed Wales’ fate on a day when Croatia were too hot to handle.

Substitute David Brooks gave Wales a lifeline 13 minutes from time with a deflected drive and the Bournemouth forward almost equalised in the final seconds to snatch an unlikely point but it was Croatia who took top spot.

Here’s how Ryan Giggs’ men rated, according to Press Association…

Wayne Hennessey: The veteran Crystal Palace keeper was caught out for the opening goal, the ball deflected past him by Jamie Lawrence, and was then given little chance when Ivan Perisic smashed in a low effort early in the second half, but did make a couple of smart saves – 6/10

Connor Roberts: The Swansea man was given the runaround by Perisic early on, but improved later and felt he should have had a penalty after joining the Wales attack on the overlap during the closing stages – 6

Chris Mepham: The Bournemouth defender had to keep a close eye on former Leicester frontman Andrej Kramaric, who looked to capitalise on any errors around the edge of the box – 6

Jamie Lawrence: Anderlecht defender turned a cross past his own keeper on 17 minutes and should have hacked the ball clear in the build up to Croatia’s second goal – 5

Ben Davies: Tottenham defender played through the pain barrier after his hernia operation was postponed, but did not look at 100 per cent especially when aiming to support the attack – 5

Harry Wilson: Derby man was switched to the right wing as David Brooks missed out, and had a great chance to break the deadlock early on when sent clear after a long throw from Gareth Bale, but shot straight at the Croatia keeper – 5.

Joe Allen: Stoke midfielder made his 50th appearance for Wales and did his best to muster some forward thinking in what was often a damage limitation exercise – 6

Matthew Smith: Manchester City youth product spent last season on loan in Holland with FC Twente, but struggled to make an impact and was replaced just after the hour – 5

Daniel James: Manchester United-bound midfielder struggled to get on the ball during the first half as Croatia dominated possession, but showed his potential when setting up a late chance just before the break. Given a breather for the closing stages – 6

Will Vaulks: Rotherham man made a first competitive Wales start in central midfield role. Had a chance to mark the occasion with a goal, but somehow failed to guide the ball past the Croatia keeper when his big moment came late in the first half – 5

Gareth Bale: Real Madrid man often came in for some rough treatment. Sent a 25-yard free-kick over and had another sight of goal on the hour when picked out by Joe Allen and cut inside at the edge of the box, but could not find the finish – 6

SUBSTITUTES

David Brooks (for Smith, 63): Bournemouth midfielder came on as part of a double substitution aimed to freshen things up. Deflected effort from the edge of the box saw him score a first senior goal to give Wales hope in the closing stages, and almost grabbed an equaliser in stoppage-time – 7

Ethan Ampadu (for Vaulks, 63): Chelsea teenager was straight into the thick of the action and full of running as he aimed to make an impact from the bench – 6

Rabbi Matondo (for James, 80): Schalke winger came on for the closing stages after Wales had pulled a goal back, but little opportunity to conjure something late on – 5

Manchester United moved for Dan James after they were priced out of transfer for Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser, according to a report.

United revealed on Friday that they had agreed a deal in principle for Swansea winger James to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first summer signing.

It is understood that United will pay Swansea £18million, including add-ons, for the 21-year-old player, with the move expected to be formally completed on Tuesday, when FIFA’s international transfer window – the Transfer Matching System – opens.

James though, who scored five goals and laid on five assists in the Championship last season, was not Solskjaer’s first choice with the United boss keen on Fraser.

The London Evening Standard claim Solskjaer made an enquiry to Bournemouth about Fraser’s availability but were told it would cost them over £40million to sign the Scotland winger, who has also been interesting Arsenal.

United were apparently not too keen on paying that price for the 25-year-old despite only Eden Hazard having more assists in the Premier League last season than Fraser, who managed 14 and also scored seven goals.

Instead United went for the cheaper and younger alternative in James, leaving the way clear for Arsenal to firm up their interest.

The fee though will very likely put off the Gunners, while last month Fraser sent a message to interested clubs.

He said: “I’ve got a year left. There’s a very good chance I’ll be here next season.”

Gareth Southgate is happier with England fans booing Virgil van Dijk rather than their own players.

Van Dijk was jeered throughout England’s Nations League semi-final defeat to Holland on Thursday night, causing some sections of the media to get their knickers in a twist.

When he was asked about the booing before the Three Lions clash with Switzerland on Sunday, Southgate admitted he was happier that the jeers be directed at the opposition rather than his own team.

“I’d say I’m happier they’re booing the opposition now than when they booed our players when we started,” he said with a smile.

“I’d say we’re making progress. Driving through the streets of Malta and some of the songs that were being sung to us that night, so if Virgil has to take a bit, fair enough.”

Premier League clubs have issued their list of players being released this summer. Some, like Petr Cech and Rob Green, are retiring while a few have already found new clubs, like Aaron Ramsey getting fixed up at Juventus and Ander Herrera set to join PSG. But most of this mixture of internationals, seasoned pros and academy youngsters are on the hunt for a new employer…

Liverpool have confirmed that Connor Randall and Adam Bodgan will leave this summer.

After bidding farewell to Daniel Sturridge and Alberto Moreno earlier this week, the European champions released their retained list on Friday.

Randall and Bogdan were the two most notable names, both of whom were on the bench for Jurgen Klopp’s first game as manager against Tottenham in October 2015.

They will be released when their contracts expire in the summer, with Randall having made eight appearances and Bogdan six.

The Reds also announced that academy players Juanma, Conor Masterson, Glen McAuley, Corey Whelan and Ben Williams will leave, while new contracts have been offered to Bobby Adekanye, Daniel Atherton, George Johnston, Abdi Sharif and Edvard Tagseth.

Randall was somehow named in Klopp’s updated Premier League squad in February, but has not even been on a league bench for the club since October 2016.

Bogdan spent the season on loan at Hibernian, last featuring for the club in May 2016.

Ryan Sessegnon ‘has set his heart on a move to Tottenham’ after telling Fulham he will not extend his contract.

Click Here: cheap kanken backpack

Sessegnon has one year remaining on a Fulham deal he signed in June 2017, but has no intention of signing new terms.

The 19-year-old has instead decided to either spend the next 12 months with Fulham in the Championship before leaving for free, or leave Craven Cottage this summer.

And The Guardian says Sessegnon ‘has set his heart’ on joining long-term suitors Tottenham, despite interest from PSG and Manchester United.

It even seemed as though he could be Liverpool’s next relegated signing but Sessegnon wants to join Tottenham ‘as he believes he would thrive under Mauricio Pochettino’.

The manager would like to complete any potential deal before July 8, when his squad returns for pre-season training, but Tottenham and Fulham remain at an impasse over the fee.

Fulham would want around £45m for the England youth international, while Tottenham ‘are not inclined to pay more than £25m’.

The north Londoners hope that they can capitalise on ‘the disastrous prospect’ of Fulham losing Sessegnon for mere compensation if he was to leave when his contract expires.

 

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has not the ‘slightest idea’where Antoine Griezmann will move this summer.

Griezmann announced his intention to quit Atletico at the end of the season bringing down the curtain on a five-year stay with the club.

The France star was expected to join Barcelona but the Catalans have yet to make an approach to Atletico. Manchester City and PSG are also unwilling to meet the attacker’s release clause which drops to £106million next month.

Cerezo was unable to add any clarity over Griezmann’s future when he was asked by Onda Cero.

“Griezmann has been with for five years and done a splendid job,” the president said.

“We have a good relationship. Nice, trustworthy.

“I hope wherever he goes he will be treated the same as he has been with us.

“I don’t know where he’s going, he didn’t say. I don’t have the slightest idea where he will go. I don’t think anyone knows.

“No one from Barca has contacted me.”
