Bayern Munich targets Gyökeres as potential striker replacement
Bayern Munich may soon lose striker Mathys Tel to Tottenham Hotspur. This move could allow Bayern to target a replacement, with eyes on Viktor Gyökeres and Nico Williams. Reports say Bayern expects Tottenham to trigger a €60 million clause to make Tel's loan permanent. If this happens, Bayern could miss out on their top target, Gyökeres from Sporting CP. They are also considering Williams from Athletic Club for a wing position. Meanwhile, West Ham United is working to sign Sunderland's Chris Rigg. They are in a strong position despite competition from Tottenham. The Hammers are also interested in Angel Gomes from Lille, who is set to become a free agent but has not yet accepted West Ham's offer of £100,000 per week. Arsenal has joined the race for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato, who can play both left-back and center-back. He is also attracting interest from Real Madrid, Chelsea, and AC Milan. AFC Bournemouth plans to make Kepa Arrizabalaga's loan from Chelsea permanent this summer, but it will depend on the goalkeeper's willingness to accept a pay cut. West Ham is tracking Udinese centre-back Oumar Solet, facing competition from other clubs, including Lazio and Inter Milan. Solet might be interested in the move despite joining Udinese only in January. In other news, Al-Duhail is looking to sign Marco Verratti from Al-Arabi in Qatar. Aston Villa is discussing a new contract with midfielder Boubacar Kamara. Crystal Palace is also negotiating a deal for manager Oliver Glasner, and Everton plans to start talks with defender Jarrad Branthwaite to secure him long-term.
