Man Utd plot Chelsea hijack as Arsenal eye £69m spending spree
The summer transfer window has kicked into gear over the past few days, with Chelsea, Aston Villa and Everton all completing early business before the upcoming accountancy deadline for the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules on June 30. Other top sides are also expected to dip into the market imminently, with spending sprees planned up and down the country.
Manchester United are hoping to welcome new arrivals at both ends of the pitch, with Joshua Zirkzee shortlisted as a leading candidate to lead the line at Old Trafford next season and Jarrad Branthwaite identified as the club’s top defensive target.
Arsenal are also keen to bolster their ranks, with Mikel Arteta’s side appearing to be assessing several options who have release clauses in their respective contracts, such as Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.
