Chelsea urged to beat Man Utd to Martinez signing

Former Chelsea and France star Emmanuel Petit has urged Chelsea to sign Manchester United target Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa this summer.

Speaking to EscapistMagazine.com, Petit said: "Emiliano Martinez would be an inspiration in the Chelsea dressing room. I have criticised his behaviour in the past but he knows what it takes to win titles, he has that experience. He can inspire other players and he has all the qualities needed of a top goalkeeper. He would be a very good signing for Chelsea and 32 isn’t old for a goalkeeper. I think he’d link well with Enzo Maresca and the players already at the club. One fear I have is for Aston Villa, I am worried about them with top players leaving the club, I’m not sure where it will leave them next season."

Arsenal told to sign 'amazing' Eze as doubts cast on Martinelli

Ex-England star Micah Richards believes Eberechi Eze will be an "amazing" signing for Arsenal, while downplaying Gabriel Martinelli's importance.

He said on The Rest is Football podcast: "How many times have we said Arsenal need a new striker? We said it every week last season. They’ve needed one for a while now. I still believe they need a left winger as well…they’ve been linked with Eze haven’t they. I think Martinelli can definitely do a job but he’s more of an impact player right now, great to have off the bench, so if they could get Eze that would be amazing."

Newcastle brutally told to sell Isak

Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has told Newcastle exactly what to do in the Alexander Isak saga: "Get him out".

Shearer told The Rest Is Football: "I'm not angry at all towards him. I understand how football works, I know what happens in and around the game. I probably understand his mentality. Do I like it? Do I understand it? Probably two different things. But I know what football is about and I know how it works, and obviously Liverpool have been into him or his agent. I just thought it might have happened next year and if it really is impossible for Eddie to turn him around and he says no, and it sounds like that is the case, I want him to be out now, you get your big money for him, whoever’s prepared to pay that and you get other people in, hopefully beforehand, and then you move on. As I said, no individual is bigger than any football club, and if he doesn’t want to be there, fine, get what you can and get him out and say thanks very much for the memories, off you go.”

After signing several attacking reinforcements this summer, Marseille are preparing to part ways with Neal Maupay to reduce their wage expenditure.
