Anderson stance
The Athletic's David Ornstein has provided the latest on Elliot Anderson's future amid links with both United and City.
Speaking on Reddit, he said: "No news but, as previously reported, there’s a good chance he moves this summer, and I would expect most of the biggest Premier League clubs (Arsenal aside) to be in the mix and some of the European giants, too. Manchester United are huge admirers and many expect them to be rivalled by Manchester City, Bayern Munich and others. It’s going to take a very high fee to prise Anderson from Nottingham Forest. He already earns in excess of £100,000 per week, so the salary expectation will also be challenging."

Zinchenko deadline
Arsenal have reportedly been given a strict deadline over Oleksandr Zinchenko's potential move to Ajax. The Ukrainian is set to be recalled early from his loan at Nottingham Forest with a view to joining a new club. Ajax want the experienced left-back, with a transfer fee and a contract already agreed. The sticking point, according to reports in the Netherlands, is whether Arsenal are prepared to pay up the remainder of his salary, with his Gunners deal due to expire this summer.
