Confirmed: Harambee Stars Defender Dumped by South African Club
Harambee Stars defender Brian Mandela will have to look for a new club yet again after his release from Premier Soccer League side Stellenbosch FC was confirmed.
Rodrygo’s uncertain role at Real Madrid, culminating in his omission from the Club World Cup final, has convinced the Gunners hierarchy that a deal could be possible in the coming weeks.
“Mirror Football revealed last month that Arsenal are prepared to bide their time if they have a chance of landing Rodrygo. And as things stand, a move would seemingly not be beyond the realms of possibility,” read the update on the Brazilian’s situation.
Despite Rodrygo’s desire to stay and fight for his place under Carlo Ancelotti, Arsenal are quietly optimistic that an ambitious bid could tempt Real Madrid to cash in, especially as they look to balance the books after heavy investment in Kylian Mbappe.
Closer to home, Eberechi Eze remains an intriguing option as Arsenal seek to add craft and flair to their midfield. However, Crystal Palace are holding firm on their £86 million valuation, underpinned by the playmaker’s release clause.
“Crystal Palace will not sell Eberechi Eze for less than the midfielder’s £86million release clause, according to a new report from The Standard,” stated the report.
Arsenal would prefer to negotiate more flexible payment terms, with Palace insisting that two-thirds of the fee must be settled by next summer.
Arteta’s big summer vision gathers pace

With Kepa Arrizabalaga already confirmed as the club’s new goalkeeper, Arsenal’s recruitment drive is far from over.
Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and Brentford’s Christian Norgaard are both targets to reinforce the midfield, while the addition of a prolific striker and a versatile wide player would round off a transformative window.
