Arsenal have withdrawn from the race with Chelsea to sign Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane, according to reports in Germany. The former Manchester City winger appeared to be on course to sign a new contract with Bayern this month before he opted to switch his representation to Pini Zahavi’s agency.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has admitted the club are preparing for discussions over the future of winger Jamie Gittens, who is a target for both Arsenal and Chelsea.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that the club is no longer pursuing a move for Athletic Club winger Nico Williams. While the Spaniard was previously on their shortlist, Barcelona are now focusing on other targets ahead of the summer window.
