Man Utd, Liverpool and Man City eye defender
Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City are all reportedly interested in signing Brazilian defender Diego Carlos.
United, who are looking for a defender to play alongside Harry Maguire, Liverpool and City are all thought to be interested in making a move for the Sevilla man, who has a release clause of £68m, according to Marca.
Sevilla sporting director Monchi is looking to raise funds by selling some valuable assets this summer. Carlos, 27, is believed to have the highest value, while Lucas Ocampos and Jules Koundé could also leave.
When the rumours were put to him, Carlos said: "I speak with my agents to tell them not to tell me anything.
"They only inform me of very advanced things, but I only focus on Sevilla. I said that in the case of leaving Sevilla my goal is to go higher, and Sevilla is a giant."
Arsenal eyeing loan move for Felipe Anderson
Arsenal are eyeing up a loan move to sign West Ham's Felipe Anderson, according to The Mirror.
They report that the Brazilian could pen a loan deal with the Gunners, but it would cost them a £5m fee.
Anderson has fallen out of favour under David Moyes at the London Stadium, scoring just one goal and creating four assists throughout the entirety of last season in the Premier League.
With Arsenal looking to improve their options going forward under Mikel Arteta, the opportunity to sign Anderson on a cut-price deal could be a tempting one, however, the player's £140,000-a-week wages could prove a stumbling block.
Leeds boosted in pursuit of Harry Wilson
Liverpool may be forced to lower their £20m asking price for Leeds United target Harry Wilson, according to Goal.
Leeds, Aston Villa and Newcastle are all said to have registered an interested in the Welsh winger in recent weeks, however the trio baulked at Liverpool's lofty asking price.
However, Goal reports that owing to the impact of coronavirus, Liverpool may need to rethink their valuation of the player, who they have told will not be going on loan this summer.
Fellow Welshman Ben Woodburn has also been told he can leave, the report adds, with Portsmouth, Ipswich and clubs in Germany and Holland interested in his signature.

However, Dean Smith’s side will have to offer more than £15m if they are to land the 28-year-old from Bournemouth.
West Ham target could have contract cancelled
Reported West Ham United target Samuel Umtiti could see his £135,000-a-week contract at Barcelona be cancelled, according to Cadena Ser .
Mundo Deportivo reported in July that the Hammers were interested in bringing the French centre-back to the Premier League.
Umtiti still has three years of his current deal remaining at the Nou Camp, but Barca could look to cancel the big-money deal in order to save on some funds.
The Guardian say that new Barca boss Ronald Koeman has already explained to Umtiti that he has no future at the club.

The 27-year-old is in the final year of his contract in France, and plenty of clubs have shown an interest in landing the French winger.
Thauvin, and his agent, are aware that they will receive “good salary proposals” from other clubs, if he does leave Marseille on a free transfer at the end of the 2020/21 season.
Wolves and Everton chase Atletico winger
Premier League duo Wolves and Everton are both interested in signing Atletico Madrid winger Thomas Lemar, according to Spanish outlet AS .
