Transfer rumours round-up: Tottenham set Tanganga price tag, Saliba's agent has dinner with Marseille chief

By Shamanth Jayaram

Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and a bunch of other sides feature in our transfer rumours round-up on Tuesday, July 26.

Chelsea and Tottenham are both keen to sign Marco Asensio this summer. The Spaniard, who has entered the final year of his Real Madrid contract, is desperate for regular game time ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later this year, and he’s looking for a move now. (Calcio Mercato Web)

Bayer Leverkusen appeared to be on the verge of signing Manchester City youngster Samuel Edozie, but Southampton have just joined the race and are looking to hijack the deal. (Fabrizio Romano)

The battle between AC Milan and Leeds United for Charles De Ketelaere may soon come to an end. The Italian giants are now considering Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech as an alternative if they can’t sign the talented Belgian. (Daniele Longo)

Marseille president Pablo Longoria flew over to London to have dinner with the agent of Arsenal defender William Saliba last night. The young Frenchman spent last season on loan at the Stade Vélodrome, but the Gunners are keen to retain his services now. (Fabrizio Romano)

Transfer news: Tanganga, Arthur, Broja and more

Tottenham have now set their asking price for Japhet Tanganga if any interested club wants to sign him on a permanent deal. AC Milan are said to be the keenest side at the moment, and they have been quoted a fee of £21.2 million. (CMW)

Leeds United have made a £1.7million bid to sign Mergim Berisha from Fenerbahce. That, however, is around £2.5 million short of what the Turkish side are demanding for the forward. (Yeni Şafak)

Everton and Newcastle United have stepped up their interest in Armando Broja after West Ham United’s pursuit of the Albanian appears to have cooled. Frank Lampard’s connection with the Blues could potentially help him secure a move. (iNews)

It is no secret that Tottenham like AS Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo. Spurs have been linked with a move to sign the Italian on numerous occasions, and a latest rumour has claimed that Antonio Conte is willing to offer Giovani Lo Celso plus cash to sign the talented 23-year-old. (CMW)

Our last two stories are about the same player.

Arsenal are said to be the most interested club in the race to sign Arthur Melo from Juventus this summer. Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma are also keen. (Mundo Deportivo)

Another outlet backs the claim that Arsenal are interested in signing Arthur this summer, but there’s no way that this deal will include Gabriel Magalhaes, who is said to be a key target for Juventus. If Arsenal are to sign Arthur, it will be a separate deal. (Calciomercato)
