The Premier League’s summer transfer window is open with Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal set to be busier than ever.
Liverpool enjoyed success in the Champions League this year and their quest to end their league title drought in 2019 will be bolstered by the arrival of Naby Keita from RB Leipzig. He will not be the last new face on Merseyside, however, with Monaco's Fabinho already in. Stoke's Xherdan Shaqiri could be next or even Real Madrid's Marco Asensio? At United Jose Mourinho looks set to spend big again as he targets reinforcements in his bid to haul in record-breaking Manchester City next season. He's got Fred but another central midfield player is high on his list with a big money move for Gareth Bale not out the question.
For the first time in over two decades Arsenal head into the offseason with a new manager at the helm. That man is former PSG boss Unai Emery after a stunning 11th hour change of heart at the Emirates and he already has two new signings and plenty more on the way with a new central midfielder next on his shopping list. Chelsea are close to appointing a new manager themselves but across London Mauricio Pochettino won't be leaving Tottenham Hotspur after signing a new five-year deal.
We will have all the latest news, views, rumours, gossip and done deals right here so don't touch that dial.

One club who will have a big say on how the summer transfer window plays out is Paris Saint-Germain. They could yet choose to sell one of Neymar or Kylian Mbappe if Real Madrid come calling, and if they do they will be armed with more money than ever before and ready to bring in their next big-name signing.
That man, according to Goal, is Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante, but the France international is being valued at £100m if he is to leave the club this summer.

Arsenal are also in talks with two other midfielders, according to Sky Sports.
It was claimed over the weekend that Sevilla midfielder Steven Nzonzi opened negotiations about a possible move to the Emirates, and even though the Gunners signed Lorient's 19-year-old playmaker Matteo Guendouzi on Wednesday, Unai Emery continues to look at ways of strengthening his squad.

Roma will consider all offers for their goalkeeper Alisson, but have yet to receive any, despite links with Real Madrid and Liverpool.
Sporting director Monchi said: "He has the same chance of staying as all the other players we have not received any offers for.
"If one arrives, we will study it and make a decision. We are working out when he will return to training after his post-World Cup holiday; ready to do even better than he did last season for us."
EVERTON NEWS

Everton are increasing their interest in Barcelona defender Yerry Mina and are ready to offer £21m for the centre-back, according to Goal.
Mina memorably scored Colombia's equaliser that sent the last-16 clash with England to extra-time and, eventually, penalties, and his performances at the World Cup have caught the eye of the Toffees who are looking to strengthen their defence under new manager Marco Silva.
LIVERPOOL NEWS

Liverpool are being linked with a number of incoming players but one who could be on their way out is Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
The 27-year-old faces losing his place in the first team following the arrivals of Naby Keita and Fabinho - who can play in midfield if needed - and according to reports in Turkey he had been given the green light to discuss a move to Fenerbahce.
SPURS NEWS

Tottenham failed in their pursuit of Bordeaux forward Malcom in January but it appears that they have not relented in their pursuit to sign the Brazilian.
France Football reports this morning that Spurs are determined to land the 21-year-old, but face competition from Roma for his signature this summer.

After the blockbuster news of Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Juventus, the £88m transfer is likely to trigger a number of deals in the coming days, with the Premier League already running low on time to complete their business as they voted to end the transfer window earlier than the rest of Europe.
Having splashed out on Ronaldo, Juventus are likely to sell a number of players to balance the books, and Liverpool are looking to take full advantage of that with a move for Argentina striker Paulo Dybala. The 24-year-old faces an uncertain future following Ronaldo's arrival, and according to reports in Argentina Liverpool are ready to offer £80m to land him this summer.
WEST HAM NEWS
13:00
West Ham look to be closing in on yet another signing after reports emerged that a fee has been agreed with Lazio to sign Felipe Anderson.
According to the Daily Mail, West Ham have agreed a club-record deal, and with a work permit already granted ahead of the proposed move an announcement could be made later today.

Liverpool are also facing a different battle on their hands in attempting to keep hold of young English striker Rhian Brewster.
The forward has been linked with both Arsenaland Tottenham already this summer, yet the Sun now reports that heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are also keen on signing the Under-21's star.
Having seen Jadon Sancho and Ademola Lookman enjoy success abroad, could Brewster be the latest youngster heading to mainland Europe?

Xherdan Shaqiri is due to have his Liverpool medical TODAY ahead of a proposed £13.5m move to Anfield.
The attacking midfielder spearheaded Switzerland's World Cup campaign in Russia as they reached the last-16, but with Stoke City being relegated to the Championship a relegation release clause was activated in his contract, making him available on the cheap.
Stoke have now accepted that offer from Liverpool and allowed official talks to begin, with an announcement expected at some point over the weekend.

With Chelsea sticking by the Italian model, what will they get in Maurizio Sarri?

Southampton have confirmed that Vestergaard has signed a four-year deal at St Mary's, and will join up with the squad next week to join Mark Hughes' pre-season plans.
Here's what the new signing had to say:
It feels great. The deal has been under way a couple of days and I’m very excited now it has finally happened.
I knew of the interest before the World Cup and the club has followed me for quite some time and done a lot of scouting, which is also a good sign for me that they know my strengths and weaknesses.
The degree to which the club wanted me was important in my decision. They had done a lot of research, seen a lot of live games and on video as well. I feel I’m at a really good place to develop.
After seeing the place, I have only seen nice people and smiles on faces. I feel very welcome.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has addressed the reasons why he allowed Jack Wilshere to leave the club for nothing, insisting that it had nothing to do with his injury problems in the past.
The England midfielder, who was left out of the World Cup squad, has joined West Ham United on a free transfer, while Arsenal have not wasted any time in bringing in replacements for the midfielder.
LIVERPOOL NEWS

Liverpool's move for Frenchman Nabil Fekir could be back on the table - at least on the player's side of negotiations.
The Mirror reports that Fekir has told Lyon he wants to not only leave the club, but join Liverpool specifically. This goes against what Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas has said publically after he pulled the plug on the move, but it appears that talks could resume one Fekir has returned from the World Cup.
