Arsenal are realistic about their chances of signing Alvarez before next week’s transfer deadline.
Do they want him? Yes. Are they trying? Yes. Can they pull it off? The answer to that question is less unequivocal.
Manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta know it is a long shot, not least because former Manchester City forward Alvarez, at least so far, has shown little indication he would be willing
Burnley manager Nicky Hayen has told Zian Flemming he should stay with the Clarets despite being linked with a possible Premier League move.
Coventry, Leeds and Brentford are reportedly interested in Flemming, who scored two late goals to salvage a point against West Ham in the Championship on Sunday.

Captain Cristian Romero is among those likely to leave the club.
Romero was criticised for his decision to fly back to Argentina while injured before the final game of the season – a match for which he did ultimately return.

Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola wants midfielder Alexis Mac Allister and goalkeeper Alisson to remain at the club.
Argentina international Mac Allister has two years left on the five-year contract he signed at Liverpool when he joined the Reds in 2023.
The 27-year-old has yet to begin talks over a new deal, which has prompted speculation he could leave Anfield this summer.
However, Iraola told a news conference in Chicago at
Wales manager Craig Bellamy’s proposed move to take charge at Championship side Burnley has fallen through.
The Clarets approached the Football Association of Wales with a view to appointing Bellamy as Scott Parker’s successor.
The 46-year-old had talks with the Lancashire club but the move now looks to have collapsed.
The breakdown is understood to not be related to compensation for the FAW, while negotiations for Bellamy’s backroom staff to
“Promotion as League One champions, staying up – kind of against the odds – two seasons running, particularly this last season when your main contributor in terms of creation, Josh Murphy, missed 22 Championship games and Colby Bishop had an off year.
“There were injuries as well, many of them, and yet Pompey still stayed up pretty comfortably.”

Bristol City have taken up an option in defender Ross McCrorie’s contract to keep him at the club until at least the end of next season.
McCrorie signed a three-year deal when he joined from Aberdeen in 2023 with the clause of an additional 12 months, but had been linked with a return to Scotland this summer.
The 28-year-old has made 89 appearances for Bristol City – 41 of
