Sunderland have blasted Chelsea for a disrespectful and insulting £8m bid for Granit Xhaka, telling the London club the former Arsenal midfielder isn’t for sale at any price.

Former Gunner Granit Xhaka wants to join Chelsea this summer, with Sunderland’s desire to keep him seemingly the only thing likely to scupper a transfer.

Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, seemingly ending their pursuit of Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori for this summer.

Kepa Arrizabalaga could leave Arsenal for the same amount the club signed him for last summer, with the goalkeeper reportedly having a release clause in his deal.
