Arsenal Seal Cut-Price Departures as Liverpool Treat Isak's Fitness With Care

Reports detail nominal Hamburg deals after a £250m spend, with Sweden's coach calling Isak's immediate use too risky.

Overview

  • Fabio Vieira joined Hamburg on a season-long loan, with no loan fee due if he features regularly, and the club hailed his creativity in an official statement.
  • Albert Sambi Lokonga moved to Hamburg permanently for an initial £260,000 plus bonuses, according to German reporting, reflecting Arsenal's late push to trim costs and the squad.
  • Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson left Alexander Isak on the bench against Slovenia after only three training sessions and said using him now carries too much risk, while eyeing a possible substitute role versus Kosovo.
  • Sporting president Frederico Varandas publicly praised Viktor Gyokeres after his £63.7m move to Arsenal, and the striker has agreed to testify as a witness in a Swedish defamation case next year that could affect his availability.
  • Manchester United have an agreement in place to loan Andre Onana to Trabzonspor subject to the player's decision and personal terms, with Turkey's transfer window open until September 12.
