Chelsea have successfully had their £21 million proposal accepted by Swedish club AIK for their promising 18-year-old winger, Zadok Yohanna.

According to reports from The Mail, Newcastle United have also had a bid accepted for the Nigerian youngster. The Magpies are actively seeking attacking options following the sale of Anthony Gordon to Barcelona.

Although Yohanna has featured in only seven league outings, his performances have already drawn attention from several elite European sides. With both Chelsea and Newcastle’s offers approved, the AIK forward now faces a crucial decision regarding his next move.

In other transfer news, the ongoing saga surrounding Julian Alvarez continues to unfold. While Barcelona have been leading the pursuit of the Argentine international, Atletico Madrid are reportedly reluctant to sell to their La Liga rivals. This development could prove to be a significant advantage for Arsenal, who remain keen to secure the forward’s services.

The Gunners are determined to sign a new striker this summer. However, as per Spanish outlet Cadena Ser, Alvarez is currently uninterested in relocating to London. This stance could complicate Mikel Arteta’s plans to bring the 26-year-old to the Emirates Stadium.

Meanwhile, another Arsenal target appears to be slipping away. The Premier League champions had been monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt’s left-back Nathaniel Brown. Yet, according to Sky Germany, Bayern Munich have now reached a complete agreement with the 22-year-old defender, effectively ending Arsenal’s hopes of landing him.
