Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Arteta has until October to save Arsenal job

Mikel Arteta faces a fight to save his job at Arsenal, with the Spaniard in a race until the October international break to turn things around, says <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/08/23/mikel-arteta-has-five-games-turn-arsenal-around-face-fight-job/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>. The former Gunners player has claimed silverware in successive seasons since his arrival in 2019, with FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs. But two losses from his opening two games - after a free-spending summer to boot - means he is truly under fire as he aims to get things back on track.

Liverpool midfielder&nbsp;Xherdan Shaqiri has completed his move to&nbsp;Lyon on a €6 million (£5m/$7m), three-year deal, plus add-ons. The Switzerland international swaps the Premier League for Ligue 1 following a triumphant three-year spell that saw him win domestic, European and world honours at Anfield. Now, he arrives at&nbsp;Groupama Stadium on a contract that runs through June 2024, bringing to an end a six-year stay in England that also included a three-year spell with Stoke City. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/liverpools-shaqiri-completes-6m-move-to-lyon-on-three-year/gw8y8byjmw6614ldw27s4mfjo" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Barcelona are willing to let Samuel Umtiti leave the club for nothing before the transfer window closes - according to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-negocia-umtiti-salga-libre-12009471" target="_blank">Diario Sport</a>. The Blaugrana are eager to get the Frenchman off their books, and have received offers from Nice and Monaco. Umtiti is holding out for a Champions League club, but Barca will let him go on a free transfer if he agrees to join a lesser club as they continue to try and reduce their wage bill.

Manchester City will make another push to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham in the coming week, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/08/22/harry-kane-makes-cameo-tottenhams-narrow-win-against-wolves/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>. The England international came off the bench to play almost 20 minutes as Spurs beat Wolves 1-0 on Sunday, but coach Nuno Espirito Santo could offer no guarantees that he will be there to face&nbsp;Pacos De Ferreira in the upcoming Europa Conference League play-off clash. But while City are set to make a new attempt to buy the striker, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy still does not want to sell him this summer and the north London team could still force him to stay.
