BILD believe the nine-goal forward will have his pick of clubs in the summer, with Bayern Munich also considering cherry-picking their divisional rivals.<\/div>\n<div style=\"word-break:break-word\" class=\"first:font-bold md:text-lg text-base paragraph-content\">It&#8217;s set to be a busy summer at Manchester United, as the Red Devils clear out the deadwood. Turkish outlet Sporx claim <b>Altay Bayindir<\/b> is set for Besiktas and could form part of a surprise swap deal for ex-Leicester midfielder <b>Wilfred Patience. <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"word-break:break-word\" class=\"first:font-bold md:text-lg text-base paragraph-content\">Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund hope to persuade the soon to be out-of-contract <b>Jadon Sancho<\/b> back to the Westfalenstadion for a third spell (The Times), while Juventus have been told it will cost \u20ac25m to sign <b>Joshua Zirkzee<\/b> (Tuttosport).

The decorated defender&#8217;s deal is up in the summer and an extension appears unlikely. Everton are keen to re-sign their former favourite, a decade on from his departure. TEAMtalk tell us that Stones is open to a return to Merseyside.<\/div>\n<div style=\"word-break:break-word\" class=\"first:font-bold md:text-lg text-base paragraph-content\">Bodo\/Glimt&#8217;s fairytale run in Europe is over, but heroes of their campaign are in demand. Celtic are reportedly leading the chase for <b>Kasper H\u00f8gh<\/b>despite competition from Leeds United. H\u00f8gh&#8217;s hit 45 goals in 88 games for the Norwegian outfit, including five in the Champions League this season.<\/div>\n<div style=\"word-break:break-word\" class=\"first:font-bold md:text-lg text-base paragraph-content\">Finally, over in Spain, Barcelona believe a deal can be done for <b>Julian Alvarez<\/b> &#8211; if the Catalans can get creative. QuiThiJugues report that the La Liga champions feel \u20ac100m (\u00a386.3m) will be enough to sign Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, if a player is also offered in exchange as a sweetener.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s transfer rumours include a Chelsea and Tottenham tussle for Hoffenheim hot-shot Fisnik Asllani and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
