Arsenal and Chelsea could be aided in the summer transfer window by Liverpool's unexpected move for RB Leipzig star Dominik Szoboszlai. The deadline in his contract for a €70million (£60.1m) release clause being triggered was June 30 and with a major midfield rebuild needing to take place at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp sanctioned the move with hours to spare.
In the hours following this decision, Szoboszlai was informed his release clause had been activated with medical tests being scheduled after personal terms had already been agreed. The Reds aren't the only team looking to complete a mini rebuild in the middle of the park with Arsenal and Chelsea also hoping to seal several moves in that position this summer.
Alexis Mac Allister has already been signed by Liverpool and Szoboszlai joining will make it another midfield addition. The Gunners, meanwhile, are in a similar position with one player already through the door in Kai Havertz and another in Declan Rice expected to follow shortly, as negotiations with West Ham over the £105million deal could be finalised by Monday.
