Premier League transfer rumours: Leeds United's Ben White hint, Manchester United's Sancho boost

The Premier League season is finally over and now top tier clubs are preparing for next term.

That means trying to improve their squad during the summer transfer window and it has led to plenty of speculation.

Here is the latest round-up of transfer gossip from the competition.

Man Utd deal Chelsea blow

Manchester United are said to have reached a breakthrough in contract negotiations with Dean Henderson, something which impacts Chelsea.

The Blues have been linked with Henderson, who has impressed at Sheffield United on loan.

But Football Insider say that the goalkeeper is edging closer to landing new terms at Old Trafford.

Sancho to Man Utd boost

Manchester United are moving closer to signing Jadon Sancho.

German publication Bild is reporting that the deal is ‘gathering pace’ with the Reds now prepared to meet Borussia Dortmund’s £108 million asking price.

But the report adds that United would want to pay the fee via instalments, and Ed Woodward is willing to offer £63m up front before paying the rest in the years ahead.

Sancho remains top of United's wishlist this summer after an exceptional campaign in the Bundesliga for Dortmund., who, according to the report, are prepared to accept United's proposal.

Arsenal battle Liverpool and Man City for defender

Arsenal are set to target Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos as Mikel Arteta aims for a summer overhaul, according to The Telegraph .

The 27-year-old Brazilian has taken his game to another level in recent seasons.

Carlos has been linked with Liverpool and Manchester City as well.

Villa want Liverpool striker

Aston Villa are interested in signing Liverpool striker Divock Origi this summer.

The Belgium has enjoyed some big moments for Liverpool such as a double in the Champions League semi-final second-leg victory over Barcelona in the 2018/19 season and a goal in the final over Tottenham last year.

But the 25-year-old has found game-time difficult to come by overall and The Sun say that Villa are ready to pounce.

Leeds receive White boost

Leeds look to have been given some fresh hope in their pursuit of Ben White.

The Whites are keen to secure the Brighton defender's services permanently after his outstanding displays during 2019/20.

And in an interview with The Athletic, Brighton chairman Tony Bloom has suggested the club could look to offload some of their centre-backs this summer.

“I’m not going to speculate on whether we may or may not get offers for many of our players," Bloom said.

"We certainly do have an abundance of centre-backs and there are constant discussions between myself and Graham and Dan (Ashworth, technical director) and the recruitment team about what our needs are, what’s going to be happening.”
