Arsenal agree terms to sign De Almeida from PSG

By Staff Writer — 1 September 2026

Arsenal have agreed terms to sign France defender Elisa de Almeida from Paris St-Germain.

Sources in France suggest the fee could be about £550,000 and she is expected to join before Thursday’s transfer deadline.

The versatile 28-year-old can play at centre-back - an area where Arsenal need cover at the start of the season because of injuries.

De Almeida has spent five years at PSG, making more than 100 appearances and has experience of competing in the Women’s Champions League.

She has spent her entire career in France, representing Paris FC before a spell at Montpellier, prior to joining PSG.

De Almeida has played 52 games for France and was part of Les Bleues’ squads at the 2023 Women’s World Cup and Euro 2025.

Arsenal are seeking to win a first Women’s Super League title since 2019 and have strengthened this summer, with additions including England midfielder Georgia Stanway and Spain full-back Ona Batlle.

Renee Slegers’ side start their season at Brighton on Sunday, 6 September (12:00 BST).

Barcelona complete signing of Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus

Barcelona complete signing of Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus

By Staff Writer — 1 September 2026

Barcelona have completed the signing of Gabriel Jesus on a permanent deal.

It comes after BBC Sport reported that a deal for the Brazilian to move to Barcelona for a fee of £8.6m (10m euros) was close to be being confirmed.

Jesus has fallen down the pecking order in recent seasons at Arsenal due to injury issues, as well as Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres being the preferred central strikers at the club.

Napoli had also shown an interest in Jesus, but the Brazilian has now joined last season’s Spanish league champions after completing his medical on Monday.

Jesus joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022, scoring 32 goals and adding 22 assists in 123 appearances for the Gunners.

Speaking to the media before Arsenal’s win over Aston Villa, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that Jesus was not training with the squad.

When asked whether that meant the forward was leaving, Arteta said: “Personal situations, whatever they are, I think it’s clear.”

Jesus would be Barcelona’s third signing from a Premier League club this summer, following the arrivals of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle and Rodri from Manchester City.

Barcelona have also been pursuing a deal for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez but Atletico have been clear of their intention to not negotiate with their La Liga rivals.

Arsenal have also been chasing Alvarez but it is unlikely that a deal is completed at this stage.

The Gunners have also sold Fabio Vieira to Hamburger SV while Ethan Nwaneri is getting closer to completing a loan move to Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez joins Como on loan

By Staff Writer — 1 September 2026

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has joined Como on a season-long loan after losing his starting spot to Emiliano Martinez.

Sanchez started the Blues’ 3-2 win against Fulham in their Premier League opener but allowed Josh King’s shot to slip through his grasp at the near post during an error-strewn display.

Concerns over the Spaniard’s performances led to Xabi Alonso’s side signing Argentina’s Martinez from Aston Villa in a £7.5m deal.

Martinez started Chelsea’s 4-3 win against Brighton on Sunday - just hours after the club announced his transfer - while Sanchez was dropped from the matchday squad.

Sanchez, who was Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper since joining from Brighton in 2023, made 112 appearances and won the Conference League and the Club World Cup with the Stamford Bridge club.

BBC Sport understands Como, managed by former Chelsea and Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas, have an option to buy the 28-year-old at the end of the loan.

Sanchez’s exit represents a remarkable turnaround in opinion at Stamford Bridge.

Those in charge at Chelsea had been keen to back Sanchez but he was deemed surplus to requirements after his mistakes against Fulham and the arrival of Martinez days before the transfer deadline.

The club also have Mike Penders, a £17m signing from Genk, among their options. The Belgian made his debut in the Carabao Cup victory over Luton Town last week and was on the bench against Brighton at the weekend.

Meanwhile, Como have also signed Italy international Moise Kean, 26, from Fiorentina on loan with an obligation to buy.

The former Everton and Juventus striker scored eight goals in 26 Serie A appearances for Fiorentina last season.

Como finished fourth in Italy last season and will feature in the league phase of the Champions League this term.
