Thursday Transfer Gossip: Arteta Signs New Arsenal Deal as Truffert, Morton and Cherki Attract Interest

Mikel Arteta has signed a new deal at Arsenal, while Adrien Truffert, Tyler Morton and Rayan Cherki are among the big names drawing interest, according to the latest transfer gossip from MatchHeadlines.

Arteta will stay at Arsenal until 2030, the Premier League champions said on Wednesday. 

Martin Odegaard, 27, is expected to sign a new long-term deal too, says TEAMtalk. Meanwhile, Declan Rice, 27, is close to a new deal, says BBC Sport. His contract ends next summer, and he would get a big pay rise on his reported £240,000 a week. That would put him level with Bukayo Saka, thought to be the top earner on about £350,000 a week.

Arsenal are also ready to make a fresh try for Julian Alvarez, 26, in January, says TEAMtalk. The Atletico Madrid and Argentina striker is now seriously thinking about a move to the Gunners.

Manchester United are set to face tough competition from Liverpool for Bournemouth left-back Adrien Truffert, 24, says TEAMtalk. The France international is valued at about £60m.

Newcastle United are favorites to beat Nottingham Forest to Lyon midfielder Tyler Morton, 23, says Football Insider. He is doing well in France after leaving Liverpool last year.

Paris Saint-Germain are keeping an eye on Manchester City attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki, 23, for a move in January or next summer, says TEAMtalk. They see the France international as a great tactical fit. They also want to see if City's punishment for breaking the Premier League's financial rules makes him want out.

Former Manchester City midfielder David Silva has come out of retirement at 40 to sign for Hong Kong Premier League side Sha Tin.
