ARSENAL, MAN CITY CONSIDERING HUGE SWAP DEAL
Arsenal and Manchester City are weighing up an incredible straight swap of Alexis Sanchez and Argentine forward Sergio Aguero.
Discussions are already said to have taken place about the South American pair swapping clubs this summer, according to the exclusive report in the Daily Star.
City boss Pep Guardiola has made former Barcelona hitman Sanchez, 28, his No.1 strike target this summer but Gunners chief Arsene Wenger insists that he will not sell the player to a rival Premier League club.
However, it’s reported that Wenger would consider a deal that sees Aguero, 29, make the move in the opposite direction, particularly with Arsenal set to lose Sanchez on a free transfer next summer.
Aguero is an extremely attractive option for the Gunners, especially with Lyon wanting £57m for France international Alexandre Lacazette, while Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe would cost over £100m.
The Argentine scored 33 goals for City in all competitions last season, despite the odd injury issue, while Guardiola dropped the frontman a couple of times for Brazil starlet Gabriel Jesus.
EVERTON SNUBBED IN £30M PLAYMAKER BID
Everton have had a £30m bid rejected for Swansea’s Icelandic Midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.
The Toffees have made an early impact in this summer’s transfer window after splashing out big money for Sunderland keeper Jordan Pickford and Ajax captain Davy Klaasen.
Ronald Koeman is also expecting to tie-up a deal for Malaga striker Sandro Ramirez straight after the European Under-21 Championship, but Sigurdsson is proving trickier to land, according to the report in the Daily Mirror.
Everton are, however, expected to test Swansea’s resolve by upping their offer for the 27-year-old, while Sandro Ramirez’s imminent arrival at Goodison should also provide good news for the Swans.
