Arsenal close in on Guimaraes as surprise Chelsea loan approved

Arsenal are closing in on a deal for Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, one of the most high-profile targets of the summer. A surprise loan exit for Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has also been approved, with the goalkeeper previously expected to be sold this summer. That was just the start of a busy day of transfer news. Manchester United have reportedly received a clear indication over the future of Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye, while Arsenal are in advanced talks over a transfer for Ethan Nwaneri. Chelsea's signing of Jordan Henderson has raised eyebrows, though some believe it could prove to be a masterstroke. Fenerbahce are ready to break the bank for Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford. Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool legend, has reached an agreement with his next club. Newcastle, meanwhile, have identified Borussia Dortmund's Felix Nmecha as their leading candidate to replace Guimaraes. Real Madrid are one step away from signing Manchester City superstar Rodri. Manchester United have told Toby Collyer he is surplus to requirements, Chelsea have performed a U-turn on Josh Acheampong, and Newcastle have been handed the chance to revive their pursuit of Stuttgart star Bilal El Khannouss.
