What the papers say

Newcastle have pulled out of negotiations to recruit England defender Marc Guehi as Crystal Palace refuse to budge on the £70million fee. The Telegraph reports while the Magpies have not ruled out a last-minute signing, it looks likely they could keep quiet until January.

Newcastle had looked confident of signing Guehi throughout the summer, but Palace refused to lower their asking price during several rounds of negotiations. While the deal is not dead, it looks increasingly unlikely it will meet the Friday night cut-off.placeholder image

Time is running out for England and Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who could be left in limbo as the transfer deadline looms, the Daily Mirror reports. Saudi Pro League Club Ah-Ahli held discussions with Brentford over a potential deal, but no offer has been made by a Premier League club despite early interest.

This leaves Toney in a race against time as the European transfer window closes on Friday night. Alternatively, a move to Ah-Ahli would have to take place before the Middle Eastern transfer window slams shut on Monday.placeholder image

Arsenal continue to weigh up late bids for Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman or Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling. The Independent reports Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is on the hunt for an “explosive” player to expand the team’s attacking options. Top target Nico Williams has opted to stay in Spain.

Arteta reportedly has a strong relationship with Sterling stemming from their time at Manchester City, but has reservations about his high weekly salary, reported to be £325,000 a week at Stamford Bridge.
