Bayer Leverkusen is interested in signing Granit Xhaka although any deal will only be possible next summer when his current deal runs out. In theory, Bayer may consider signing the player the following summer. The team is still looking for an aggressive midfield commander. Xhaka led the squad in the Europa League this year, even though Martin Odegaard currently serves as the club’s captain at Arsenal. The 30-year-old can picture a comeback to the Bundesliga. Granit Xhaka was on the verge of joining Bayer Leverkusen twice previously, most recently last summer. Under Mikel Arteta, the Switzerland captain has revived his Arsenal career and is now a vital member of the squad that is vying for the Premier League championship this year.
West Ham would permit Declan Rice to depart this summer if a Champions League team makes an offer of £120 million to them. West Ham, who have already had queries regarding the midfielder, would also accept £100 million plus a player for him. Arsenal now seems to be his most likely final destination, although the English international has also drawn interest from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool. This summer, Rice’s contract will expire after one year, although West Ham has the option of extending it by an additional year. 18 months ago, he turned down an offer for a new, £200,000-per-week deal. West Ham won’t sell unless the price is right, and all earnings from any prospective sales would go towards bolstering the team.
Viktor Gyokeres, a striker for Coventry, is a target for Wolves. However, there haven’t yet been any discussions to sign the player, and if Coventry is promoted from the Championship will also be important. They qualified for the playoffs on the final day of the regular season, and if they win, he could decide to stay at the team to see them through their first campaign back in the top division. Gyokeres is rumored to have fans in West Ham and Crystal Palace as well. He has scored 43 goals in 116 appearances since joining the Sky Blues in 2021, and 21 of his goals have come in 46 Championship outings this season.
