Transfer: Arsenal mull £130m bid for Julian Alvarez as Martinelli nears Saudi move

Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli is closing on a £55m move to Al-Hilal.

Chelsea have had three bids turned down for England midfielder Alex Scott, with Bournemouth adamant that neither he nor any of their crown jewels will leave before September 1.

Leeds United remain interested in signing Mykhailo Mudryk on loan from Chelsea. News of talks between the two clubs, and a rejected offer from the West Yorkshire side, broke last week.

Liverpool will have to pay £70m to sign Yankuba Minteh from Brighton after seeing two bids rejected.

Aston Villa have approached AC Milan for Rafael Leao. The English club are serious about the Portugal winger, who has expressed openness to the move.

Atletico Madrid would be prepared to sell Arsenal target Julian Alvarez for £128m, according to The Athletic.
