Richarlison ‘to seek’ Spurs exit, Arteta ‘close’ to new Arsenal deal, Zubimendi and Hall updates

Richarlison’s Tottenham future, Mikel Arteta’s new Arsenal deal, interest in Martin Zubimendi and a Lewis Hall update headline the latest transfer lines.

BBC Sport reports that Richarlison wants to be released from the remaining nine months of his Tottenham contract, with the parties in dispute. Spurs are said to be unwilling to agree a termination settlement.

The forward was left out of the Premier League squad after a proposed £35m return to Everton collapsed late in the summer over personal terms. With options narrowing abroad, a move home now appears the only viable route amid strong interest from Vasco da Gama.

talkSPORT claims Newcastle could still sell Lewis Hall next summer despite a new long-term contract that lacks a buyout clause. Manchester United remain interested in a deal either in January or at season’s end.

TEAMtalk says Martin Zubimendi would push to leave Arsenal in January if he does not regain a regular starting place. Chelsea and Real Madrid are still keen, with further interest said to be emerging from Saudi Arabia. The midfielder arrived from Real Sociedad last summer for £60m and played a major role in the title win.

BBC Sport adds that Arsenal are finalising a new contract for Arteta, whose existing deal expires next summer. Talks have been ongoing for some time.
