LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Shakhtar Donetsk is dreaming of Stamford Bridge. Unable to use the Donbass Arena since 2014 and forced to play domestic home matches between Kyiv and Lviv—and European fixtures across Germany, Slovenia, and Poland—the Ukrainian club is reportedly considering playing its upcoming Champions League matches at Chelsea’s home ground, according to BBC Sport.

Negotiations are said to be underway; with a capacity of 40,000, Stamford Bridge represents the ideal choice compared to Fulham’s Craven Cottage or Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium—other venues under consideration but with smaller capacities. Shakhtar and Chelsea enjoy an excellent relationship, thanks to the Mudryk transfer (signed by the Blues in 2023) and the “Game4Ukraine” charity match. The Stamford Bridge option has emerged because Chelsea failed to qualify for European competitions this season, and Shakhtar hopes to draw many of the 32,000 London residents of Ukrainian origin to the games.

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Victor Osimhen: the former Napoli striker is the marquee signing Arsenal dreams of securing to wrap up their transfer window. According to The Telegraph, the interest in the Nigerian player is linked to inquiries made by Galatasaray regarding Gabriel Martinelli—for whom the Gunners are asking €45 million—and Ethan Nwaneri, who is returning from a loan spell at Marseille.

Arsenal reportedly used these discussions as an opportunity to talk about Osimhen; the Turkish club had previously rejected a €130 million offer from Al-Hilal for the striker but showed a willingness to negotiate, particularly if the Gunners were to include one or more players of interest to the Istanbul side as part of the deal. So far, the English champions have already spent over €170 million to sign Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis, as well as to make Piero Hincapié’s move from Bayer Leverkusen permanent.
