PSG and Kvaratskhelia's stance on transfer after Arsenal interest confirmed
Latest from Your Site News' Zinny Boswell:
Your Site News understands neither Khvicha Kvaratskhelia nor Paris Saint-Germain are contemplating a move for the forward this summer, as things stand.
Kvaratskhelia was amongst the list of players Arsenal are considering to strengthen their options on the left-wing this summer.
Newcastle's Anthony Gordon and Real Madrid forward Rodrygo are also potential candidates, as the Gunners look to invest in their starting line-up ahead of next season.
Arsenal will target top quality talent that can improve on their current options in the team.
On the left, Mikel Arteta has used a combination of either Eberechi Eze, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard this season, and the position has continued to be under consideration for improvement by the head coach and sporting director Andrea Berta.
Central midfield is another priority, with Your Site News putting them in the mix for players like Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson, as well as full-back.
Kvaratskhelia and Gordon among Arsenal targets this summer
Latest from Your Site News' Lyall Thomas:
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Anthony Gordon are among the targets Arsenal are monitoring as they look to sign a left-winger this summer.
The Premier League leaders want to bring in top-quality players that can improve their starting options with left wing one of the positions manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta have been focusing on.
Arsenal's most frequently used players on the left, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, only have one more year on their contracts after this season.
Arteta's side can expect to have a lot of competition for Paris Saint-Germain star Kvaratskhelia if he comes on the market, while Gordon has shone for Newcastle across the frontline since he arrived from Everton.
PSG only signed Kvaratskhelia last January and he has quickly established himself as one of their most important stars, playing a crucial role in last season's treble-winning campaign.
The Georgia international has three years left on his contract in Paris and the Qatari owners are under no financial pressure to sell him. Newcastle are in an even stronger position with Gordon's contract, which runs out in 2030.
Your Site Newsreported last summer that Rodrygo at Real Madrid is another player Arsenal have looked at for this position. However, the Brazil international is set to miss the rest of the season and World Cup with a serious knee injury.
Lewis-Skelly on Man Utd's list of transfer targets
Latest from Your Site News' Vik Varange, Dan Khan and Rob Dorsett:
Arsenals Myles Lewis-Skelly is on Manchester Uniteds list of potential left-back targets this summer, Your Site News understands.
On Wednesday, Your Site News revealed the likes of Newcastles Lewis Hall and Eintracht Frankfurts Nathaniel Brown are among those under consideration to strengthen the position.
Englands Lewis-Skelly who signed a new five-year contract at Arsenal last summer is also believed to be another potential part of Uniteds plans.
The 19-year-old is held in high regard at the Emirates, having been one of their best academy graduates in recent seasons, but he has only started one Premier League game all season.
Lewis-Skelly has started six times in the Champions League however, England manager Thomas Tuchel recently told him he needs more game-time if he is to make it into the World Cup squad.
Arsenal are looking to make additions to their squad too this summer targeting top players to improve their first eleven and they will need to sell some players in order to do so.
It remains to be seen who Arsenal receive bids for and willing to let go of but Lewis-Skelly would present 100 per cent profit on the balance sheet having come through the youth ranks.
As well as left-back, United are prioritising central midfield and left-wing; with the likes of Carlos Baleba, Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali, Yan Diomande and Iliman Ndiaye all being looked at closely.
'Real Madrid targeting midfielder - but it might not be Rodri'
Your Site News' Kaveh Solhekol:
"What Man City will try and do is have talks with his representatives and get him to agree to sign a new contract.
"He is such a key player for Man City, he is one of their best ever midfielders and one of the best we have ever seen play in this country.
"You do have to remember he has had a serious knee injury, which he has been recovering from. That is one of the reasons there haven't been in-depth talks about his extending his contract.
"It is interesting what he has had to say. It would've been easy to say he is on international duty and doesn't want to talk about his club future.
"He said what privately a lot of players would say. It is very difficult to turn down a big club like Real Madrid if they come in for you.
"We have to retain a sense of perspective. Just because Real Madrid may want a player does not mean they will get him.
"We do know they are interested in signing a new midfielder this summer. I am sure Rodri is one of the players they will be looking at, they have also been linked with Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo at Chelsea.
"They will have a lot of options. If I were a Man City fan, I wouldn't be getting too worried. I think Man City do want to keep him and quietly, they are probably pretty confident they will get him to sign a new deal."
