Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori is ‘open’ to joining Arsenal this summer but could yet receive a rival proposal from Chelsea, according to reports. Calafiori impressed at Euro 2024 despite reigning champions Italy’s deflating last-16 exit at the hands of Switzerland. The 22-year-old was named in Luciano Spalletti’s Euros squad following a brilliant season for Bologna, who he made 33 appearances for and helped qualify for the Champions League. Arsenal have identified Calafiori as a key target this summer, reportedly approaching Serie A side Bologna with a proposal worth £40m. Fabrizio Romano also claims the Premier League runners-up have contacted Calafiori…

Five England players will be walking a disciplinary tightrope in the Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland. Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions, who pulled off a dramatic comeback to beat Slovakia in extra-time, meet Switzerland in Dusseldorf on Saturday for a place in the semi-finals. Barring a crazy few minutes against Slovakia, in which Jude Bellingham scored a stunning overhead kick and Harry Kane headed home an unlikely winner, England are yet to really get going at the Euros. The pre-tournament favourites opened their campaign with a nervy victory over Serbia before failing to beat Denmark and Slovenia, though they still managed to…

Marc Cucurella has revealed he’s been trying to convince Spain team-mate Nico Williams to snub Barcelona and join Chelsea while at Euro 2024. Barca are keen to bring Williams to the Nou Camp this summer following his impressive spell at La Liga rivals Athletic Bilbao and his superb performances at the Euros. The 21-year-old, who has a £46.5m release clause, has started three of Spain’s four games over in Germany and scored in their last-16 victory over Georgia. Spain defender Cucurella believes Williams would be a ‘great signing’ for Barcelona but admits he hopes he moves to Chelsea, who have…

Rodri admits he has been surprised by the level of Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella during Spain’s Euro 2024 campaign. After hammering Georgia 4-1 in the last-16 stage, Spain are now preparing for their Euro 2024 quarter final against tournament hosts Germany this Friday. Cucurella, meanwhile, has struggled to make an impact at Chelsea following his move from Brighton in a £62 million deal in August 2022. However, the 25-year-old has established himself as Spain’s first-choice left-back at Euro 2024 and Manchester City midfielder Rodri concedes he did not expect the Chelsea defender to deliver such impressive performances. When asked which…

Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams says he has told his inner circle he does not want to hear about speculation over his future as he gets ‘distracted easily’ and needs to ‘focus’ on Spain’s Euro 2024 campaign. Williams enjoyed an eye-catching season with Athletic last term, racking up five goals and 11 assists in La Liga, and the winger has taken his barnstorming form into this summer’s European Championship, where his stock continues to rise. The 21-year-old has arguably been Spain’s standout performer in Germany and his outstanding displays have put him front and centre in the shop window, with…
