Rumour reel: Ozil will commit to The Gunners

Celtic target left out of squad

Celtic manager Brendan Rogers has spent his summer chasing Manchester City player Patrick Roberts, and made the 20-year-old Englishman his number one transfer target. The talented winger impressed during an 18-month loan deal at Parkhead, and The Bhoys want to bring him back, either permanently, or on another long-term loan. He shouldn’t be any great loss to The Citizens, certainly in the short-term, and was left out of the squad to face Brighton on Saturday. Does that pave the way for a return to last season’s treble winners? We’ll find out soon enough. Celtic are also said to be interested in South African defender Rivaldo Coetzee, according to newspaper reports in his homeland.

Newcastle and West Ham want Spaniard

Premier League duo Newcastle and West Ham are set to battle it out for a player from the Championship. Brentford midfielder Jota spent much of last season on loan at Eibar, and was a target for then Rangers manager Mark Warburton in Glasgow earlier this year, but since returning to Griffin Park the Spaniard has done nothing but impress, both his current employers, and managers from the level above. 26-year-old Jota played for Real Madrid B and Celta Vigo, as well as The Bees, and only has a year left on his contract, meaning Brentford will be eager to get things sorted sooner rather than later. Rafa Benitez is said to be at the front of the queue, and he too is in a bit of a rush.
