Transfer news LIVE: De Jong's Man Utd stance, Chelsea close on Kounde, Ronaldo and Lingard latest
Edu makes Raphinha admission Arsenal technical director Edu has confirmed that the Gunners were interested in signing Raphinha this summer - but the Brazilian was set on a dream switch to Barcelona. The Spanish giants finally landed the former Leeds United man earlier this summer after months of speculation. Arsenal and Chelsea were also in the race for the winger, but Edu has played down the Gunners attempts to lure Raphinha to the Emirates. He told Sky Sports: "People think we went in too deep about Raphinha, because Raphinha was everywhere. It's fair we did have some conversations with Deco because Deco is his agent and I have a good relationship [with him] - we are friends. "I just said to Deco, 'Can you explain to me the situation with Raphinha?' and he was clear, 'Edu, we have a good relationship but I'm not going to lie to you, his idea is to go to Barcelona because he's dreaming to go to Barcelona, and we've been talking to Barcelona since a long time ago'. "Okay, thank you very much, if something happens then just let me know because I can explore and understand the situation. If not, no problem and we carry on with our relationship."
Molde midfielder Fredrik Aursnes welcomes Atletico Madrid interest
Molde midfielder Fredrik Aursnes is a target for Atletico Madrid. VG says Atletico are watching Aursnes ahead of the summer market. "I have to play well," Aursnes said in reaction to the interest. "So I feel like I'm good enough for a bigger league. I feel like I've done well in the last few seasons. And that it may be a good time to go to a bigger league and a better club." Toulouse failed with a €30m offer for Aursnes last year. Need a VPN? Or seeking to switch? Then support Tribal Football by clicking here to sign up with our official partners NordVPN.
