North London giants Tottenham Hotspur have pulled out of the race to sign Saint Etienne defender William Saliba according to the newest reports coming out of the media in the United Kingdom.

William Saliba has sparked the bidding war between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks but it seems like the Gunners have won the race to sign the young French defender.

According to Sky Sports, Spurs have pulled out of the race to sign the 18-year-old centre back.

William Saliba wants to join Arsenal this summer though he’s expected to return to French club Saint Etienne on loan for just one season after his signing has been confirmed.

North London giants Arsenal are reportedly closing in on the loan signing of Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos.

According to Sky Sports, the loan signing of Dani Ceballos is almost a done deal for the Gunners.

Dani Ceballos is surplus to requirements at Real Madrid at the moment but the Spanish midfielder is keen to prove his worth at the club in the long-term.

The 22-year-old wants to go out on loan this summer rather than a permanent transfer as he still retains the hopes of securing a spot in the Real Madrid XI in the future.
