Premier League transfer news: Benzema to Arsenal, Umtiti to Manchester United and more, 28th December 2017

#2 The party of the Londoners

Finally off to Arsenal?

Let’s start alphabetically here or else I will lose my grip on reality. Arsenal are interested in a player who has been linked with them in almost every window for the last 9 years: Karim Benzema. According to Don Balon, Wenger has made a £36 million bid to rope in the Frenchman from the Bernabeu.

That’s not the only bid that Arsenal have made in order to sign someone as their £35 million bid for Juventus defender Mehdi Benatia has been rejected by the Old Lady, say Calciomercato.

And now come Chelsea.

The Stamford Bridge outfit are going to go berserk in the window if the news outlets are to be believed. After being linked with Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale, Chelsea have apparently been handed a transfer boost in the case of Bayern Munich’s Arturo Vidal as the Bavarians are unwilling to loan him to Inter, say Calciomercato.

The other player linked to Chelsea is Paris-Saint Germain’s Lucas Moura—reported by Buzz Sport—who is probably finding it hard to break into the starting XI after the arrival of Neymar and Mbappe.

Finally, Tottenham Hotspur.

And this one is also according to Calciomercato, who claim that Tottenham are one of the clubs that want to acquire the signature of Ajax starlet, David Neres. Arsenal and Manchester United are also linked with him.

Speaking of Manchester United…
