Arsenal are still looking to sign Morgan Rogers despite agreeing a deal for Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis. James Gill – Danehouse/Getty Images- Arsenal are set to accelerate their efforts to complete a deal for Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, who is the Gunners’ priority as they look to sign a winger, reports transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. Talks are already advanced on the 23-year-old’s side, and the case is separate from that of Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis, as Arsenal always wanted to sign both of the wide players. There are no talks for Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola.
– Tottenham Hotspur right back Pedro Porro has impressed Barcelona with his performances for Spain during the World Cup, reports Mundo Deportivo. In addition to scoring against Austria and France, the 26-year-old has built up a relationship with Lamine Yamal on Spain’s right-hand side. Spurs have already moved to extend his contract to 2031, though, so signing him is reportedly just “a pipe dream” for the Blaugrana. Their priority is re-signing João Cancelo from Al Hilal, and they will only sign a center back if Ronald Araújo leaves.
