Transfer news, rumours LIVE - Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus, Arsenal in talks with third midfielder, Manchester United move for Willian, Liverpool latest gossip

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. Could Cristiano Ronaldo join him?

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.

I think it was a number of things, the manager being one and the way he wants to play and where he sees me playing.

The fans, of course – everyone knows how big West Ham’s fanbase is – and especially in this new Stadium. Not many clubs could fill it week in, week out, and West Ham do.

I want to be playing here in front of the Hammers, and my bond I’ve had with the Club over my childhood will make it even more special.

MANCHESTER UNITED NEWS
12:27
Manchester United are on the prowl for reinforcements this summer, but one player who could be heading for the exit is defender Daley Blind.

Here's the latest:
ARSENAL NEWS
11:30
Arsenal are monitoring Borussia Dortmund'sMario Gotze after the midfielder signalled he wants to move to the Premier League, the Daily Mirror reports.
 
The 26-year-old scored Germany's World Cup-winning goal in Brazil in 2014, however an English club could land him for a reasonable £18m. Everton and West Ham are also said to be keeping tabs on Gotze, who missed out on selection for Russia.
 
SPURS NEWS
11:15
A dream move to Manchester United for Danny Rose is off the cards after Jose Mourinho shelved plans to sign another full-back, the Daily Telegraph reports.
 
The paper says the Tottenham defender had been hoping to secure a £50m transfer to Old Trafford after the World Cup, but Mourinho has suspended a move for the 27-year-old after signing full-back Diogo Dalot.
 
MANCHESTER UNITED NEWS
11:00
Manchester United are hopeful that Brazil's exit from the World Cup will kick on their pursuit of Willian.
 
The attacking midfielder was part of the Brazil side that was knocked out by Belgium on Friday, and with Jose Mourinho a long-term fan of the Chelsea star, a move could well be in the pipeline.
 
The Sun reports that United are confident of landing Willian as part of the revamp that will occur at Stamford Bridge this summer, and hope that progress will now speed up as a result of his return home.
 
WEST HAM NEWS
10:45
One player who could be on the way to the London Stadium is Borussia Dortmundforward Andriy Yarmolenko.
 
West Ham's struggles in front of goal last season were well-documented, and with the 28-year-old Ukraine international yet to settle in at the Bundesliga club he could be available for as little as £17.5m according to Sky Sports - despite joining Dortmund last summer for £23m.
 
CHELSEA NEWS
10:30
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.
 
MANCHESTER UNITED NEWS
10:15
Manchester United are being linked this morning with another World Cup name in Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic, and once again it appears to be a cut-price deal.
 
Juventus are currently looking at ways to revamp their attack - more on that shortly - and one player who could be on his way out is Mandzukic. With interest in Matteo Darmian, the Mirror claims that a swap deal could be on the cards this summer.
 
MANCHESTER UNITED NEWS
10:00
Manchester United have already entered one transfer battle with Liverpool as the race to sign Nabil Fekir from Lyon simmers throughout the summer, but it looks as though Jose Mourinho is ready to go toe-to-toe with Jurgen Klopp in another face-off to land one of the World Cup's brightest stars.
 
With Xherdan Shaqiri looking to leave relegated Stoke City, Mourinho is eyeing a low-cost bid for the Swiss international, according to the Sun.
 
Shaqiri is available for £12m and after impressing in Russia, his stock appears to have risen onto the Old Trafford radar.

Now this is an interesting one.
 
We've brought you the latest on Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Juventus, and while nothing had been confirmed yet, it looks as though there will be a development in this saga sooner rather than later.
 
But few of us expected that development to be about Ronaldo's pant...
 
His CR7 underwear range has had an online update, and the new banner looks suspiciously like the Juventus colours, while a separate image of the Allianz Stadium has also been uploaded.
 
Could an announcement be imminent?
 
09:30
What appeared to be just another rumour at the start of the week now looks to be a very realistic proposition of Juventus moving for Cristiano Ronaldo.
 
Our chief football writer Miguel Delaney can reveal that Ronaldo is open to a move to Italy in order to test himself in a new league, while Real Madrid are considering a rejuvenation of what is an ageing squad.
 
Furthermore, we can reveal that Manchester United enquired about the prospect of re-signing Ronaldo, only to be informed that talks with Juventus are at a genuine and advanced stage.
