Arsenal handed new Erling Haaland boost
Could Erling Haaland really end up at Arsenal?
uncertain
Haaland → hand → Arsenal
It is hard to believe, but the outcome of Manchester City’s ongoing appeal against the guilty verdict returned by an independent commission last month on 114 of their 115 Premier League charges will surely have a decisive say on the future of arguably the world’s best striker.
It has previously been reported that Haaland could leave City next summer regardless despite only signing a new long-term contract last year, with a high-profile move to LaLiga said to be top of his wishlist amid long-standing interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
However, Football Insider now claim that a desire to break Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goal record could yet convince the Norwegian superstar to stay put in England.

JJ Gabriel holds new Bayern Munich talks
JJ Gabriel has held fresh talks with Bayern Munich, according to reports.
The 15-year-old sensation stunned Manchester United last month when he informed them of his desire to leave the club with immediate effect, just days before he would have been handed a likely senior debut by Michael Carrick in the Carabao Cup.

uncertain
Bayern → struggle → Germany
However, the reigning Bundesliga champions have apparently not made an official offer to Gabriel’s camp having not received a firm commitment amid fears that he prefers a switch to either Real Madrid or Barcelona.
