Greece U19 Overview

Chelsea have emerged as a shock destination for Rafael Leao after the AC Milan winger was offered to the Blues in a cut-price deal. The Portugal international had been a primary target for both Arsenal and Manchester United earlier this summer, but both Premier League giants have now cooled their interest.

AC Milan have firmly rejected a €10 million transfer bid from newly promoted Premier League side Coventry City for midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek. New Rossoneri manager Ruben Amorim has personally intervened to block the move, viewing the 30-year-old Englishman as a crucial part of his upcoming tactical project.

Former Juventus midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi believes the Bianconeri possess a stronger squad than most Serie A rivals following their summer transfer window activity. However, he insists title rivals Inter and Napoli still hold a distinct advantage ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Arsenal are bracing themselves for a flurry of late transfer activity as interest in teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri continues to intensify across the continent. The 19-year-old is now the subject of a multi-club tug-of-war involving some of Europe’s biggest names, with offers expected from clubs in Italy, Germany and the Premier League.
