Chelsea signs deal for Zadok Yohanna, Arsenal faces transfer setbacks
Summary

Chelsea has had a £21 million bid accepted for 18-year-old winger Zadok Yohanna from AIK. The Swedish player, who has only made seven league appearances, now has the option to choose between Chelsea and Newcastle, who have also had a bid accepted. Arsenal's pursuit of Julian Alvarez hits a snag, as Atletico Madrid does not want to sell him to Barcelona, leaving the Gunners as the next potential suitor. However, Alvarez reportedly does not wish to move to London. Additionally, Arsenal is at risk of losing another target, Nathaniel Brown, to Bayern Munich, which has reached an agreement with the left-back from Eintracht Frankfurt.
