WEST HAM

have signed

teenage centre-back

Goncalo Cardosa

from Boavista.

The 18-year-old

has joined the

Hammers on a

five-year contract for

a reported fee in the

region of £2.7million.

Cardosa, who

becomes the club’s

fifth signing of the

summer, played

15 times for the

Portuguese club last

season after making

his debut in October.

He is a Portuguese

Under-19

international.

FULHAM have

landed midfielder

Harry Arter on loan

from Bournemouth.

The 29-year-old

• Fulham boss Scott
  Parker’s brother-in-
  law – will spend the
  2019-20 season at
  Craven Cottage, with
  an option to make
  the move permanent
  next summer.
  “I’m delighted to
  be here at Fulham,”
  said Arter. “They are
  a fanastic club with
  lot of ambition, who
  want to get back to
  the Premier League
  and I hope I can help
  them achieve that.”

the winger spent a spell on

loan at West Brom last

campaign.

Now Fulham, Derby,

Huddersfield and

Sheffield Wednesday

are all keen on

taking the 24-year

old twin brother of

Cardiff’s Josh.

While Lazaar

and Saivet are

both likely to move

to the continent, Colback

could be heading back to

Nottingham Forest, where

he has enjoyed two

successful loan stints.

JACOB MURPHY will lead

the exodus at Newcastle,

with up to six players leaving

in the next 48 hours.

Keeper Rob Elliot,

defenders Achraf Lazaar

and Jamie Sterry,

midfielders Henri

Saivet and Jack

Colback and

Murphy are all

unlikely to make

Steve Bruce’s

25-man Premier

League squad.

Murphy, above, struggled

to establish himself after

arriving from Norwich last

summer for £12million and

GONE:

Koscielny

joins

Bordeaux

WE’LL

NEED

NEW

BACK

NOW

Koscielny exit fuels Gunners

him for nothing. Koscielny had a

medical in France yesterday and

leaves after nine years in London,

where he won three FA Cups.

Arsenal said in a statement: “We

decided to sanction his move to

Bordeaux once we agreed acceptable

transfer terms. We thank Laurent for

his contribution to the club and

wish him all the best for the future.”

Koscielny had rejected a new deal

to stay at Arsenal, saying the terms

on offer did not reflect his

contribution and continued ability.

The club began disciplinary

proceedings against Koscielny after

his refusal to go on tour but finally

accepted his demand to leave after

he made it clear he was not willing

to reverse his decision to quit.

ARSENAL have made signing a new

centre-back their top priority after

finally waving goodbye to Laurent

Koscielny.

The Gunners skipper joined

Bordeaux yesterday after the club

thrashed out a compromise allowing

the wantaway defender to leave.

But they are intent on replacing

him, with RB Leipzig’s Dayot

Upamecano and Juventus defender

Daniele Rugani among their targets.

Koscielny refused to go on the

Gunners’ USA pre-season tour after

they refused to let him go on a free.

Arsenal were holding out for a fee

closer to £10million but ended up

accepting a deal worth £4.6m with

the French club instead. Koscielny

had one year left on his contract and

the Gunners did not want to lose
