Football rumours: Joe Gomez eyes fresh start after failed Newcastle trade

What the papers say

Joe Gomez could still be open to leaving Liverpool after a potential trade to Newcastle United fell through.

The Daily Mail reports the 27-year-old has also had interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.

The England defender has been with the club since 2015 but has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter.

Media reports suggest Gomez is keeping his options open out of a desire for more game time.

The planned Newcastle move collapsed last month at the eleventh hour.

Marseille could be willing to pay £17 million for Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Nketiah is expected to leave the Gunners this summer and has not started a league match with the side since December.

Talks between the two clubs will reportedly continue in the coming days.

The Standard reports Leicester could be eyeing a deal for Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew.

The Foxes are understood to have made a formal approach for the 32-year-old, enquiring about his availability.

Palace are reportedly open to letting Ayew leave for the right asking price.

Ayew has been with Palace since 2019 and signed a contract extension last year which would tie him to the club until June 2025.
