Football Transfers Heat Up Before Season Start

Christian Eriksen will stay at Manchester United for the rest of the season despite transfer rumors linking him to Ajax and Anderlecht, as confirmed by his agent. Arsenal secured a significant loan deal for Raheem Sterling from Chelsea, covering less than 50% of his salary, strengthening their squad depth as they aim for the Premier League title. Sterling expressed excitement about joining Arsenal after being sidelined at Chelsea by manager Enzo Maresca. Leicester City, struggling early in the season, are close to signing Bilal El Khannouss from Genk for €23 million plus add-ons to reinforce their squad. Meanwhile, Bournemouth made history by signing Brazilian striker Evanilson as their record signing. Aston Villa, despite significant sales, missed out on signing João Félix but added Ian Maatsen from Chelsea.
