Another day, another transfer news update! We take a look at buzzing headlines across the ongoing transfer window. Here you go!

Ramsdale to join Newcastle

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is close to a move to Newcastle, with the Magpies keen on improving their goalkeeper ranks.

With Nick Pope injury-prone, Newcastle has sent a bid to Southampton and already agreed to personal terms with the England goalkeeper. The Saints are keen on allowing Ramsdale to leave, and this should be done in the coming days.

Inter waits on Atalanta for Lookman.

Reigning African Footballer of the Year, Ademola Lookman, could join Inter Milan this week, with Christian Chivu pushing for the Nigerian winger.

Lookman’s relationship with Atalanta has broken down despite the departure of Giasperini, and Inter Milan has made concrete moves for the Nigerian. This should be resolved before the end of the week, according to sources close to the two clubs.

United set to bid for Sesko

Leipzig has reportedly lowered their expectations for Benjamin Sesko, who is now a subject of transfer for Manchester United.

Newcastle is also in for the Slovenian, and the prospect of Champions League football could lure the striker to St. James’s Park. With Alexander Isak likely to move to Liverpool, the Sesko war could be a fierce one between the Red Devils and Newcastle. This should be fun.

Gabriel Jesus to leave Arsenal this summer

Despite currently suffering from a long-term injury, Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus is now being discussed as a possible exit from Arsenal this summer.

Brazilian sides Palmeiras and Flamengo are interested in Gabriel Jesus and could join on loan with an obligation to buy, and it’s left to be seen how Andrea Berta would pull this off before the end of the window. It is widely believed that the Brazilian prefers a move to Palmeiras.

Chelsea nears Hato move.

Jorrel Hato is close to joining Chelsea after the Blues sent their first official bid to Ajax for the versatile Dutch defender.

News of a possible exit from Chelsea for Marc Cucurella has been debunked, as the club doesn’t have to sell the Spaniard to accommodate Hato. Chelsea is confident that Hato will join from Ajax as they seek to bolster their defence ahead of a busy season.
