insider: Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Barca signings announced

insider transfer news: Signing Friday as Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Barca seal deals Make us your Google favourite insider brings the latest transfer news, with Lucas Bergvall and Pedro Neto signing new contracts, Arsenal landing a Georgian wonderkid and Harry Kane continuing talks with Bayern. Lucas Bergvall makes Tottenham U-turn with new contract Romano admits he has been surprised by developments at Tottenham, with Bergvall closing in on a new deal. “Lucas Bergvall has signed a new contract at Tottenham Hotspur. That's a very surprising one, probably. If you had asked me in June, I probably would not have predicted this,” he said on his YouTube channel. “Why? Because Lucas Bergvall's initial idea was to leave Tottenham in this summer transfer window, and not because he's not happy at Tottenham. I'm also told that Lucas Bergvall is a big fan of how Roberto De Zerbi wants to play football, so the connection is very good with everyone. “He just had a feeling that after signing Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, and with Tottenham having no European football, he was not going to play football, basically. So he wanted to go and play. “He had several possibilities. One was from Nottingham Forest, another was from a club abroad. There were also some calls from Chelsea on Deadline Day to understand the situation of the player, although they never sent a bid. So there was a lot of interest around Lucas Bergvall. “But the decision made by Tottenham Hotspur, in a very clear way with the player and his camp during the summer transfer window, was: despite this desire from Lucas, stay with us, continue with us. We will give you a contract, because we believe in you. “Tottenham didn't want to lose the player. Now they have reached an agreement on a new contract, with an improved salary for Lucas Bergvall, who is going to be part of Tottenham's future.” Pedro Neto commits his future to Chelsea until 2032 Similarly, Chelsea confirmed the signing of Pedro Neto to a new contract after significant summer transfer rumours. Romano said: “It's a new deal for Pedro Neto and it's confirmed and signed today until June 2032. So it's a new long-term deal for the Portuguese winger. Now we can call him the Portuguese wing-back because Xabi Alonso believes in the player in this new position as well, and Pedro Neto is absolutely comfortable with that. “It's a new contract in this case too, with an improved salary for Pedro Neto, who was one of the players already negotiating with Chelsea before the beginning of the summer transfer window. Then it didn't advance during the window because there were some movements around Pedro Neto. “The reality is that Pedro Neto was on the list at Al-Hilal. He was one of three names. Al-Hilal then decided to go for Gabriel Martinelli, but Pedro Neto was on the list. “He was also on the list at Tottenham. If they didn't get Savinho, there were possibilities at one point in the market for Savinho to receive another offer. In that case, Pedro Neto was going to be the option for Tottenham Hotspur. “Pedro Neto was also on the list at Manchester City . City had several conversations with the agents of Pedro Neto, but then decided not to proceed. “Why? Because Chelsea always asked for around £100 million for Pedro Neto, a very expensive transfer fee. So Chelsea didn't want to get rid of Pedro Neto. It was an important bid or nothing. Nothing happened. “So now there is a new contract for the Portuguese winger.” Arsenal win the race for Georgia's next big talent Romano explained that Arsenal have signed an electric talent in the form of Andria Bartishvili, who will join them in 2027. “To complete our London tour in terms of signings, there's Andria Bartishvili, this 17-year-old Georgian talent,” he said. “In Georgia, those who follow football and know things in the industry say that they haven't seen another talent with this kind of quality and potential since Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Bartishvili is seen as a huge, huge talent. “There were many proposals from other English clubs and from German clubs for Bartishvili. Arsenal won the race. “The boy was in London last week to complete many tests and sign the contract. Today, there was the announcement: Bartishvili is a new Arsenal player. Everything confirmed. The 'here we go' from two weeks ago is now in place and confirmed. “For Bartishvili, it's a big opportunity. A big opportunity because Arsenal are going to sign him for 2027
