Welcome to the heights (or depths) of the summer silly season, as the major international tournaments are now over. It’s all preseason friendlies and transfer window talk for the next month, until the season begins. Let’s take a look at the latest narratives churning in the Arsenal transfer rumor mill.

Both Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United have made it officially official now– the agreement on the transfer of Jadon Sancho. The 21-year-old English winger leaves BVB, who will receive a fee of €85 million. One of the longest and most tedious transfer sagas in recent memory has now reached its natural and logical end.

In 136 appearances with Dortmund, United’s new right-sided attacking player scored 49 goals (38 goals in Bundesliga play, 5 goals in Champions League, 6 goals in DFB-Poka). Sancho also registered 63 assists across all competitions.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has turned a new £50million contract offer from the club, and that means he’s set to depart this summer. French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain are willing and ready to pay United a £45m transfer fee for the pleasure of bringing Pogba back to his home country.,

The Frenchman turned down an extension that would provided him wages of £350,000-a-week. With just one year left on his current deal, Old Trafford must sell now, or risk losing him on a free next summer.

Happy official Jadon Sancho unveiling day to those who celebrate! Yes, the deal is done, and the 21-year-old English winger is signed, sealed and delivered. In the process of unveiling/announcing Sancho, United took a short, subtle swipe at Borussia Dortmund, the club they bought him from for £73m.

As you can see from the tweet below, United included the phrase “you love to see it” in announcing the arrival of their splash signing. That’s a dig at how extremely long and overly protracted this transfer saga was, and it references BVB’s tweet from a year ago.

However, now that they have landed the forward, they  truly now boast one of the most potent striking forces in all of the Premier League.
