Today was no exception with developing stories around a number of supposed summer targets.

Samuel Umtiti
Arsenal have been strongly linked with a move for Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti in the summer, and Unai Emery has publicly praised the player.
The centre-back has lost his place in Barca’s first XI following a recurring knee injury, with Clement Lenglet and Gerard Pique now first choice and Matthijs de Ligt looking likely to move to Camp Nou in the summer.
Emery was asked by RMC Sport about signing Umtiti, and he admitted that he’s a fan of the 25-year-old, and stated that he’s fond of signing players with experience of Ligue 1.
"[Umtiti] is a very good player. France has a lot of very good players playing abroad.
"The French championship is a very attractive market for many teams. I have always had French players in my previous teams."

Adrien Rabiot
PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot is set to return to training next week after meeting with club chiefs this week.
The France international was suspended after going to a nightclub following PSG’s Champions League exit against Manchester United and liking a post from Patrice Evra on social media.
His suspension was extended from the end of March until next the end of this week, but ESPN state that Rabiot will return to training at the club.
However, he will still be leaving when his contract expires in the summer, after refusing to sign a new deal in France. Spurs and Arsenal are among the teams heavily linked with a move for the midfielder.

Ryan Fraser
Eddie Howe has admitted there are no guarantees that Ryan Fraser will sign a new deal at Brentford this summer, and the Mirror are saying he has hinted that Fraser might leave.
Fraser has been a target for Arsenal this season after impressing at the Vitality Stadium throughout the season.
Howe said: "We have spoken to Ryan and his representatives about his contract. It is one where we will see what happens.
"There is no doubting Ryan’s quality and how highly we think of him. He is an outstanding talent but it is a two-way prospect to sign a contract, so let’s wait and see.
"Ryan has contributed to the team this season but it’s not the time to talk about speculation. Who knows in the summer? It is that time of year when things change and us ourselves will be looking to sign players."
