Arsenal are preparing to make a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze. The Gunners are keen to explore the possibility of signing the England international without activating his £68m release clause. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder has been one of Palace’s standout performers, and his creativity and dribbling ability could offer Arsenal a fresh attacking dimension as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are in the market for a striker and have held discussions with Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta. The 28-year-old has impressed with his physical presence and goal-scoring form, prompting the Reds to initiate talks, with a meeting reportedly taking place recently in Paris.
Manchester United are also active in the transfer market and have reportedly reached an agreement with Brentford to sign Cameroon international Bryan Mbeumo. The 25-year-old forward has consistently been one of Brentford’s most reliable attacking threats, and his arrival could help United add much-needed pace and directness to their frontline.
As Brentford prepare for life without Mbeumo, they are weighing up a move for Ipswich Town winger Omari Hutchinson. The 21-year-old, who also represents England at Under-21 level, had an excellent loan spell last season and is seen as a promising option to replace Mbeumo.
Chelsea could be on the verge of another high-profile departure, as the agent of forward Joao Felix is pushing for a move that would see the 25-year-old return to Benfica. The Portuguese forward had a mixed spell at Stamford Bridge and could now seek a fresh start back in familiar surroundings.
The Blues also continue to be linked with Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho. After initial contact in January, Chelsea are reportedly maintaining a strong interest in the 21-year-old Argentine winger, who is regarded as one of United’s most promising young talents.
Benoit Badiashile, who has been linked with a potential move away from Chelsea, has stated that he intends to stay at the club for the upcoming season. The 24-year-old France international is focused on establishing himself as a key part of the Blues’ defensive setup.
West Ham United are drawing up a list of summer targets and have included two young Liverpool stars: Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton. Both 22-year-olds have impressed at youth and senior levels and could add youthful energy to the Hammers’ squad.
Elsewhere, Manchester United have made an approach to Lyon to inquire about the availability of Corentin Tolisso. The experienced French midfielder, now 30, could bring depth and composure to United’s midfield if a deal is agreed.
Former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looks set for another move, this time back to France. The 36-year-old is expected to leave Saudi side Al-Qadsiah and join Marseille, as he seeks to finish his career in European football.
Manchester City are prepared to sell young midfielder James McAtee this summer. The 22-year-old is being allowed to leave to help the club generate a clean profit in light of financial regulations. He is currently visiting Eintracht Frankfurt, who are among the clubs interested in signing him.
Wolves are close to securing the signature of Fluminense and Colombia winger Jhon Arias in a deal worth around £15 million. The 27-year-old has emerged as a key transfer target for the Premier League side as they look to enhance their attacking options.
Finally, Granit Xhaka has agreed personal terms with Saudi Arabian outfit Neom SC. However, the club is still in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen to finalise a transfer fee for the 32-year-old Switzerland international.
