Arsenal could move for Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana in the next transfer window, according to reports from Goal. The report claims that Serie A giants Inter Milan have joined the race to sign the Ajax goalkeeper who has less than 12 months left on his current contract.

Imama Amapakabo: Why Andre Onana should consider Arsenal move
Andre Onana leaving Ajax and joining Arsenal would be “a good move” for the Cameroon international, according to former Nigeria U23 coach Imama Amapakabo.

Duncan Castles: Manchester United want rid of David de Gea
Manchester United are ‘not happy with David de Gea’, according to The Daily Record’s Duncan Castles. Speaking on the Transfer Window Podcast, Castles revealed that the club has made a mistake in tying de Gea to a lucrative long-term contract and would be glad to offload the Spaniard should an offer come along for him. ‘United are not happy with the performance of De Gea post signing that record contract’ Castles claims. ‘They basically put themselves in the position where they had to pay him far, far more money than any other club was prepared to pay him.
