Arsenal have reportedly joined the list of clubs interested in Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham, according to reports.

The Telegraph says the Blues have already made the 23-year-old available to Inter Milan, Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund, with Arsenal eager to commence talks on Abraham’s situation. However, Abraham’s price tag of £40 million could prove to be a sticking point, with the Gunners likely to need to sell players to get anywhere near it.

Tottenham’s pursuit of Danny Ings has hit a roadblock, with the Evening Standard reporting Southampton are reluctant to do business with the north-London club. Spurs are believed to view Ings as an ideal partner for Harry Kane, but Southampton bosses are believed to still be sour on dealing with Tottenham after a bad experience when negotiating Pierre-Emilie Hojbjerg’s transfer last summer.

Brentford are preparing a club-record £13.5m offer for Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer, according to the Sun. A fee and payment structure has reportedly been agreed to by both clubs, with the Bees hopeful the 23-year-old’s inclusion will help bolster their defensive options for their debut Premier League campaign.

The Daily Mail reports Everton are set to sign 16-year-old striker Francis Okoronkwo from Sunderland in a deal worth up to £1m. He is expected to enter the club’s academy once the deal is ratified by the Premier League.
