Last Word On Football’s Football Transfer News brings you the latest Premier League transfer rumours. Today, we look at which Arsenal<\/a> midfielder may be heading for the exit; as well as the latest in Aston Villa<\/a>‘s hunt for a goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

Premier League Transfer Rumours<\/h1>\n

Transfer Rumours – Manchester United<\/h2>\n

According to Dan Sheldon of the Southern Daily Echo<\/a>, Manchester United<\/a> are exploring the possibility of signing Southampton<\/a> midfielder Mario Lemina.<\/p>\n

The midfielder has fallen out of favour at Southampton. As a result, he has not travelled with the squad to their pre-season training camp. Last season he made 23 appearances for the Saints, scoring just the one goal.<\/p>\n

Lemina undoubtedly is a quality midfielder, having signed for Southampton from Juventus<\/a>. As a result, he has also been attracting interest from Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Transfer Rumours – Arsenal<\/h2>\n

According to Turkish outlet Fanatik<\/a>, Fenerbahce are targeting a move for Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The German had a tough 2018\/19 season under new manager Unai Emery. He scored just six goals in 34 appearances last season. As a result of his poor form, Arsenal may look to offload their highest earner.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa Turn to Burnley in Goalkeeper Hunt<\/h2>\n

According to Alan Nixon of The Sun<\/a>, Aston Villa have turned their attention to Burnley<\/a>‘s Tom Heaton<\/a> in their search for a new goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa are looking to replace Jed Steer<\/a> as their number one, despite his efforts in helping them back to the Premier League. They have been linked with a number of targets, including Jack Butland<\/a> and Neil Etheridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, they have now turned their attention to Tom Heaton. The 33-year-old has just one-year left on his deal at Turf Moor. As a result, he may begin to look for a new challenge.<\/p>\n

Watford Interested in Nice Winger?<\/h2>\n

According to Blake Welton of Sky Sports<\/a>, Watford<\/a> are looking to bring Nice winger Allan Saint-Maximin<\/a> to Vicarage Road.<\/p>\n

The French Under-21 international scored six goals last season as Nice finished seventh in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n

As a result, he has caught the attention of Watford manager Javi Gracia, who is willing to spend a club-record fee on the forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
