Manchester United and Chelsea have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Jonathan Tah, with the Bayer Leverkusen defender keen to secure a transfer move to the Premier League. Tah, 28, has just one year remaining on his current contract at Leverkusen and has no intention of extending his stay with the German champions beyond the end of the 2024/25 campaign. The sought-after centre-back repeatedly knocked back Leverkusen’s attempts to place him on a new deal this summer and made no secret of his desire for a fresh challenge while speaking to the media ahead of Germany’s 5-0 victory over Hungary last weekend. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #tah #bayerleverkusen #transferwindow #football #premierleague

Norway manager Stole Solbakken joked he is not expecting a positive phone call from Mikel Arteta after Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard suffered a serious looking injury last night. The Gunners, already without the suspended Declan Rice and injured summer signing Mikel Merino, now face an anxious wait to find out the severity of the damage their skipper sustained to his ankle ahead of Sunday’s north London derby. Odegaard had to be helped off the pitch by Norway’s medical staff and was in obvious pain following a robust challenge from Christoph Baumgartner midway through the second half of a Nations League match against Austria. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #mikelarteta #liverpool #nationsleague #football

Wayne Rooney said he was both ‘angry’ and ‘disappointed’ following Plymouth’s thumping 4-0 defeat at the hands of Sheffield United and admitted the ugly-looking scoreline was thoroughly ‘deserved’. Rooney, 38, was confirmed as Plymouth’s new head coach back in May, with the legendary ex-Manchester United and England captain succeeding Ian Foster in the hot seat at Home Park. The appointment raised eyebrows given Rooney’s previous managerial stint in charge of Birmingham City lasted just 15 games, with the club slipping from sixth to 20th in the Championship table. On his return to England’s second tier, there was yet more misery for Rooney, who said he was excited for a fresh challenge in the build-up – but cut a frustrated figure in the dugout for the most part at Hillsborough. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #waynerooney #england #hillsborough #football

New Chelsea signing Estevao Willian left the pitch in tears after suffering an injury for Palmeiras on Saturday night. Earlier this summer, Chelsea reached an agreement to sign the 17-year-old from Brazilian side Palmeiras, paying €34 million (£28.7m) up front plus a further €23m (£19.4m) in add-ons. The Brazilian will not make the move to Stamford Bridge until next year after he turns 18, but Chelsea have already earmarked Estevao as an attacking player who can immediately challenge for a place in the first team. However, Chelsea will be concerned after Estevao’s latest appearance for Palmeiras ended prematurely as he was forced off in the second half of the 2-0 defeat to Vitoria on Saturday. #footballfanarena #ffa #Chelsea #trending #transferwindow #football
