Cole Palmer is set to start Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth this weekend after missing the international break with England. Palmer was initially called up by Lee Carsley for England’s Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland. However, the 22-year-old quickly withdrew from the squad with the Football Association confirming that the midfielder and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins had returned to their clubs ‘to continue their rehabilitation from ongoing issues’. But Palmer appears to have overcome his injury concerns during the international break with Chelsea confirming that he has taken part in full training this week. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #colepalmer #astonvilla #football #transferwindow

Erling Haaland took part in Manchester City training on Friday ahead of their Premier League clash against Brentford. The striker was granted the option of compassionate leave this week following the death of his close friend Ivar Eggja. When asked about Haaland’s availability during his press conference on Friday, Pep Guardiola said a late decision would be made over the 24-year-old. ‘It’s a tough moment for him and his family,’ Guardiola said. #footballfanarena #ffa #mancity #erlinghaaland #premierleague #trending #pepguardiola #football #transferwindow

Mikel Arteta already knows which two players he wants to buy next after signing a new three-year contract with Arsenal. The Gunners boss has committed his future to the Emirates in a deal worth £30million after coming agonisingly close to winning the last two Premier League titles. ‘Together with the players and everyone at the club, we are looking forward to the coming years, with our supporters, who have emotionally transformed the club and the team,’ Arteta said. ‘Our supporters have transformed individuals and we are different now. You can tell that we are different and for me, that is down to them. We look forward to continuing the journey together.’ #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #mikelarteta #premierleague #football #transferwindow

Enzo Maresca says Jadon Sancho has produced exactly what he expected from him so far in Chelsea training, but it is Noni Madueke who he feels is the club’s most dangerous winger right now. Sancho completed his somewhat unexpected loan move from Manchester United to Stamford Bridge before the transfer deadline but is yet to make his debut for the Blues. He looked to impress his new boss, Maresca, during the international break, and it seems like he managed that, with the Italian speaking highly of the England international. ‘He has been exactly what I expected,’ Maresca told club media. ‘He’s a very good player, a one-v-one player with quality in the last third. I’m sure he’s going to help us. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #enzomaresca #sancho #manchesterunited #transferwindow #football #premierleague

Ben Chilwell is still ‘more than happy’ to play for Chelsea despite being banished from the first-team by Enzo Maresca. The left-back was one of over a dozen players, known as the ‘bomb-squad’, exiled by the new manager over the summer and told they had no future at the club. But while the likes of Raheem Sterling, Conor Gallagher and Romelu Lukaku were able to secure a transfer away, Chilwell is still at Stamford Bridge. There was never any serious interest in the England international thanks to his high wages, said to be £ 200,000 a week, and his injury history. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #enzomaresca #romelulukaku #transferwindow #benchilwell #football

Antony will reportedly continue at Manchester United despite a late push to head to Turkey in a loan deal. The 24-year-old has found it difficult to break into Erik ten Hag's first-team plans at United this season. His only appearance so far was a brief 89th-minute cameo against Brighton, raising questions about his future at the club. The former Ajax star had reportedly expressed his desire to leave on loan in search of regular game time, with several clubs keen to secure his services including Turkish giants Fenerbahce, coached by former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho. The Turkish transfer window is still open until September 13. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #antony #eriktenhag #transferwindow #football

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

Manchester United were one of three teams interested in signing Cristian Romero this summer with Tottenham refusing to listen to offers for their centre-half. Romero initially joined Tottenham on loan from Atalanta in 2021 with the move made permanent the following year in a deal worth £46million. The 26-year-old has developed into one of the best centre-halves in the Premier League, forming an impressive partnership under Micky van de Ven under Ange Postecouglou in north London having also played a key role in Argentina’s recent World Cup and Copa America triumphs. TYC Sports reports there was substantial interest in Romero during the summer transfer window, with United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain showing interest in luring him away from Spurs. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #tottenham #premierleague #realmadrid #spur #transferwindow #football

Arsenal have lost another academy star to Manchester United this summer after talented goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk made the switch to Old Trafford. Graczyk, who joined Arsenal from Everton when he was 14, was let go by the Gunners when his contract expired at the end of last season. The 21-year-old was not long without a club, though, and has now completed the move to join United’s Under-21s side for the upcoming season. While the deal has not been officially confirmed, Graczyk was named on the bench for United’s Under-21s last Friday as they beat Blackburn Rovers 3-1 in the Premier League 2. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #arsenal #everton #premierleague #graczyk #transferwindow #football
