London trio 'to battle for Premier League Golden Boot contender'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in securing the services of Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke during the summer transfer market, but they could face competition from two other London clubs for his signature.

It is understood that Spurs are looking to sign a striker in the summer to alleviate the pressure of goal-scoring responsibilities from Heung-min Son and Richarlison.

With 19 goals and four assists in 36 appearances across all competitions this season, Solanke has started to attract significant interest from some of London's biggest clubs.

The England international is currently enjoying his best-ever Premier League season and is striving to make a comeback to Gareth Southgate's squad for this summer's European Championships in Germany.

Man Utd to use Greenwood in swap deal for centre-back?

Manchester United are reportedly willing to include Mason Greenwood as part of a potential deal to sign Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer in the summer.

The 22-year-old, who is currently on loan at Spanish side Getafe, has not featured for the Red Devils since January 2022, when he was arrested and charged with attempted rape and assault.

While those charges were dropped 13 months later, United opted against reintegrating the attacker back into the side and instead sent him out on loan to the La Liga outfit at the start of this season.

Greenwood has featured in 26 of Getafe's 31 league games this term and has scored eight goals and provided five assists across all competitions since arriving in Madrid.

Toney wage demands 'would see him earn more than Bruno Fernandes at Man Utd'

Ivan Toney is reportedly asking for a salary higher than that of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes next season, should he finalise a transfer to Old Trafford this summer.

The 28-year-old has netted four goals in 13 club appearances since his return from a betting ban, following his impressive 20-goal tally in the Premier League last season. He also marked his debut for the England senior team with a goal last month, converting a penalty in their 2-2 draw against Belgium.

Despite Brentford moving out of the relegation danger zone, the Bees' forward has been strongly linked with a move away from the Gtech Community Stadium at the end of this season, with Arsenal previously considered the frontrunners to secure his signature.

However, the Gunners are set to face competition in that regard, as it is understood that Manchester United have now joined the race to acquire the striker's services.

Liverpool midfielder asks agent to find him summer move

Thiago Alcantara has reportedly instructed his agent to find him a move away from Anfield in the upcoming summer transfer market.

The 33-year-old midfielder arrived at Liverpool in the autumn of 2020, only a month after winning the Champions League title with Bayern Munich.

However, his time in England has been significantly disrupted by injuries. The Spaniard suffered an injury against West Ham last April, which kept him out for the rest of the year, and despite briefly returning for a cameo in the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on February 4, he experienced another setback and has not played since.

With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, the chances of an extension beyond the summer seem highly unlikely.

Three strikers Man United could sign this summer to support Hojlund

Manchester United will acquire a new striker during this summer's transfer window, but it will again be a huge challenge for the club to bring in the right player in the final third of the field.

In an ideal world, the Red Devils would have signed Harry Kane last summer, but the England international ultimately made the move to Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur.

Rasmus Hojlund was supposed to be in and out of the team this season, but he has had to take on a leading role due to Anthony Martial's struggles and unavailability.

All things considered, Hojlund has enjoyed a positive season, scoring 13 times in all competitions, but the 21-year-old needs support next season, and it is set to arrive.

Villarreal 'make decision on Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee'

Villarreal head coach Marcelino is reportedly eager to pursue a permanent deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Goncalo Guedes.

Marcelino is currently in his second stint with the Yellow Submarine, with his current reign commencing in November soon after his departure from Marseille.

With Villarreal down in ninth position in the La Liga standings, the 58-year-old cannot claim to have enjoyed an overly-productive opening run in the dugout.

Nevertheless, with just six defeats coming from 25 games in all competitions, there is every expectation that Marcelino will remain at the helm for 2024-25.

Barcelona defender confirms talks over permanent exit

Barcelona defender Sergino Dest has revealed that he could join PSV Eindhoven on a permanent basis during this summer's transfer window.

The United States international moved to PSV on loan last summer, and he has been in impressive form for the Dutch outfit during the 2023-24 campaign, making 37 appearances in all competitions, contributing two goals and seven assists in the process.

The Eredivisie team are believed to have the option to sign the right-back permanently during the summer market for a fee in the region of €10m (£8.6m).

Man Utd 'cool interest in Everton man, prioritising £40m alternative'

Manchester United have reportedly cooled their interest in Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite and are instead stepping up their attempts to sign Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice.

The Red Devils were heavily linked with Todibo towards the end of last summer's transfer window, but a deal would only have been possible if Harry Maguire had moved on, and the England international rejected interest from West Ham United to remain at Old Trafford.

There will be at least one centre-back acquisition at Man United this summer, but it is likely that two will arrive, as Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans are both out of contract, while there is uncertainty surrounding the futures of Maguire and Victor Lindelof.

Branthwaite has been linked with a switch to Old Trafford, but there have been suggestions that the Everton defender could cost as much as £80m.

Shakhtar Donetsk CEO Sergei Palkin has revealed that he expects Georgiy Sudakov to leave for a top European club in the summer.

The 21-year-old has progressed through the Ukrainian side's academy system to establish himself as one of their key players in the senior ranks.

Sudakov, who can play in a range of midfield roles, has contributed 17 goals and 15 assists from his 95 appearances in all competitions.

With a contract until 2028, it is plausible that Sudakov could continue to ply his trade for Shakhtar for the foreseeable future.

Spurs 'expect to receive multiple bids for wantaway midfielder'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly confident that they will receive multiple offers for midfielder Giovani Lo Celso in the summer.

With the playmaker having spent a near 18-month loan stint at Villarreal, it seemed likely that he would not be reintegrated back into the Spurs squad.

However, the arrival of Ange Postecoglou as head coach, plus no suitable bids being received, led to the Argentina international spending 2023-24 in North London.

Although the 28-year-old has been a regular in the squad, just four starts and 13 substitute appearances have been made in the Premier League.

Man Utd midfielder considering return to former club?

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek is reportedly open to re-joining Ajax in the summer.

When the Netherlands international departed Ajax for Old Trafford for £35m in September 2020, the expectation was that he would command a regular place in the starting lineup.

Van de Beek has previously starred in an Ajax side that came agonisingly close to reaching a Champions League final, as well as contributing 41 goals and 34 assists from 175 appearances.

However, the move has proven to be a disaster for all parties, Van de Beek remarkably making just six Premier League starts for United during that time.

Chelsea youngster signs new contract

Chelsea have moved to extend the contract of another of the players from their academy system.

Earlier this month, the Blues announced that they had tied down Alfie Gilchrist to a longer-term deal at Stamford Bridge, a reward for his recent progression into the senior ranks.

On Wednesday afternoon, it was revealed that Charlie Webster is the latest youngster to commit his immediate future to the Premier League outfit.

The circumstances are different in comparison to Gilchrist with Webster having been due to be out of contract at the end of the season.

Arsenal, Liverpool 'enquire about £51.3m Bundesliga defender'

Arsenal and Liverpool have reportedly both made an enquiry about a highly-rated Bundesliga defender who could cost north of £50m this summer.

Eintracht Frankfurt's Willian Pacho only joined the German giants from Belgian side Royal Antwerp last year, but he has enjoyed a seamless adaptation to Bundesliga football.

The 22-year-old - who is left-footed and stands at 6ft 1in tall - has provided one assist in 39 games for Frankfurt, starting 28 of their 29 top-flight matches in 2023-24 so far.

A 10-cap Ecuador international who made his nation's squad for the 2022 World Cup - albeit without playing a single minute - Pacho has also scored twice for the Tricolor, who are on course for 2026 World Cup qualification as they sit fifth in the CONMEBOL standings.

Arsenal 'demanding club-record fee for 24-year-old attacker'

Arsenal have reportedly set a hefty asking price for one of their out-of-favour attackers this summer.

Academy graduate Eddie Nketiah has played third fiddle to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus in the number nine spot this season, despite managing 36 appearances across all competitions.

Nketiah's numbers hardly stand out, though, as he has recorded just six goals and three assists in that time, albeit including an impressive hat-trick against Sheffield United in October.

The England international has only made the first XI on 10 occasions in the current Premier League campaign, though, and his last top-flight start came in the Gunners' defeat to Fulham on New Year's Eve.

Arsenal among six clubs who rejected chance to sign Crystal Palace star

Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze has revealed the six clubs who rejected the chance to sign him as a youngster before he penned his first professional contract with Queens Park Rangers in 2016.

Following a successful loan stint at Wycombe Wanderers, Eze established himself as a first-team regular at QPR and made over 100 appearances during his four-year spell at the Championship club.

The midfielder's impressive form in the EFL caught the attention of Premier League clubs including Crystal Palace, who decided to fork out a reported £17m in the summer of 2020.

Eze has since developed into a key player for the Eagles, contributing with 22 goals and 15 assists in 119 games across all competitions, including seven goals and four assists in 26 outings so far this season.

Everton man 'ready to leave amid Saudi Pro League interest'

Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye is reportedly keen to leave Goodison Park this summer in order to secure a move to a club competing in the Saudi Pro League.

The 34-year-old initially spent three years with the Toffees between 2016 and 2019 and made 108 appearances before joining Paris Saint-Germain for around £30m.

Gueye then returned to Everton for a reported £2m in August 2022 and has since featured 57 times in all competitions, including 23 outings so far this season.

The Senegal international has played regularly under manager Sean Dyche this term, but a groin injury has reduced his minutes in recent weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly emerged as contenders to sign Manchester United forward Anthony Martial on a free transfer at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

Martial has been restricted to just 19 appearances in all competitions this season due to injury, and he has not featured for Erik ten Hag's side since December 9 against Bournemouth.

The forward was initially absent through illness before it was revealed that he had undergone a groin operation.

Manchester United are reportedly keen to move Antony on this summer but are yet to receive any interest in the Brazilian attacker, who has struggled to make his mark at Old Trafford.

Antony, 24, arrived at Man United from Ajax in the summer of 2022, with Erik ten Hag pushing to sign the attacker in his first transfer window with the 20-time English champions.

The forward arrived at Old Trafford off the back of scoring 24 goals and registering 22 assists in 82 appearances for Ajax, but he has only managed 10 goals and five assists in 77 matches for the Red Devils.

Antony showed glimpses of his talent during his first season at the club, but his performance level has dropped this season, only managing two goals and two assists in 33 appearances.

Manchester United 'remain in hunt for Bundesliga striker'

Manchester United are reportedly preparing to reignite their interest in Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy during this summer's transfer window.

The Red Devils were heavily linked with the 28-year-old during the January market, but the club were ultimately not able to spend in the winter window due to financial restrictions.

The 20-time English champions will sign a new forward ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, with the position viewed as a priority this summer due to the lack of options in that area of the field.

According to Bild, Man United remain keen on Guirassy, and it is understood that the release clause which was widely mentioned earlier this year is still present, with the fee thought to be around £17m.
