Manchester United agreed to sign Everton striker Romelu Lukaku

Manchester United have agreed to sign Everton striker Romelu Lukaku for £75 million while reportedly ending their interest in Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata.
Lukaku had seemed destined to move to Chelsea this summer but United have swooped after the Blues struggled to make headway on a deal

United boss Jose Mourinho is hopeful that the transfer of Lukaku will be completed in time for the Belgian to fly out with the first-team squad for the summer tour of the USA on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Reds have reportedly pulled out of negotiations with Real Madrid for 24-year-old Morata.

They had reached favourable terms with the player’s advisers but Goal reported on Wednesday that United’s final €80m offer had been rejected by the European champions, who value Morata at €90m.

Lukaku will be reunited with his former Chelsea boss Mourinho if the transfer is completed, although the 24-year-old only played three games under the Portuguese in 2013-14 before being sent on a season-long loan to Everton. He was then sold to the Toffees the following summer for £28m.

Lacazette to complete Arsenal move

Alexandre Lacazette

        Alexandre Lacazette has travelled to London to finalise a club record move to Arsenal for an initial fee approaching £46 million, Goal understands.

The Lyon striker is expected to sign a five-year contract at the Emirates Stadium after the Gunners increased their opening bid.

       Lacazette, 26, has scored over 20 Ligue 1 goals in each of his three seasons for Lyon and will join Arsenal for a club record fee, eclipsing their previous record transfer of £42.5m for Mesut Ozil that was made in 2013.

With hopes of signing Monaco's Kylian Mbappe - a Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain target - fading, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger managed to convince another of Ligue 1's star forwards to play at the Emirates Stadium.

      Lyon club president Jean Michel-Aulas, who sanctioned the transfer on Sunday, has previously said the Premier League side must part with €65million to prise Lacazette away from Parc Olympique Lyonnais and the newly agreed deal includes bonuses worth £6m.
