Widespread reports on Sunday night claimed United had reached an agreement to sign top target Antony from Ajax in a whopping £84 million deal - a record for an Eredivisie transfer. The Brazil international has been desperate to link up with Erik ten Hag again and according to Fabrizio Romano, is poised to sign a contract until 2027 but with the option of an extra year.

Chelsea make late move for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha

Image
Chelsea have revived their interest in Wilfried Zaha and are exploring a deal to sign the Crystal Palace forward before the transfer window closes. The Ivory Coast winger has been a target for Chelsea in the past but Palace’s asking price last summer was around £90m. Chelsea were unwilling to pay that much but Zaha has just a year left on his deal at Selhurst Park, which has weakened the Eagles’ hand. Patrick Vieira is desperate to keep Zaha but the club know his ambition is to play in the Champions League and this could be the club’s last chance to get big money for the winger. Chelsea had been negotiating a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but Barcelona are seeking around £30m for the 33-year-old. Thomas Tuchel wants to strengthen his attack following the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.
