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. 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. A new left-back and central midfield player are high on his list with a big money move for Real Madrid's Gareth Bale not out the question. Could Cristiano Ronaldo join him?
For the first time in over two decades Arsenal head into the off-season 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 one new signing and plenty more on the way with a new goalkeeper and central midfielder next on his shopping list. Chelsea could well be looking for 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.

In news that will please Crystal Palace fans, it looks as though Roy Hodgson is on the verge of signing a new contract that will extend his deal at Selhurst Park by another year, keeping him tied down until 2020.
The Times reports that the offer has already been made to the former England manager, and that announcement will be made sooner rather than later as a reward for their dramatically improved form last season that kept them safe from relegation.

Another player that United are being linked with this morning is Valencia full-back Jose Luis Gaya, who may just be the answer to Jose Mourinho's problems on the left.
Luke Shaw has failed to come on as hoped and while Ashley Young has impressed as a makeshift left-back, it's no surprise that Mourinho wants reinforcements in the position. Having cooled their interest in Juventus defender Alex Sandro due to the Italian club's asking fee, The Mirror reports that Gaya has emerged as the leading contender to move to Old Trafford this summer.

Manchester City meanwhile are closing in on their first signing of the summer, with the move to land Napoli midfielder Jorginho currently stalling as the two clubs haggle over his valuation.
However, the player's agent, Joao Santos, has told Italian radio that a "verbal agreement" is in place with City and that the move could go through next week if talks progress smoothly.
Santos told Calcio Napoli 24 Live:
Jorginho is now in Fortaleza with his family on vacation. In football you need signed documents, without this you can do little.
We have a verbal agreement with City, now we are waiting for Napoli to find the agreement and Manchester [City] to define the deal. Everything depends on this aspect, next week could be the one.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid are all increasing their interest in France striker Kylian Mbappe, who could be on his way out of Paris Saint-Germain after just one season.
Mbappe only joined PSG on loan last summer before making the move from Monaco permanent this year, yet The Mirror claims that both Manchester clubs are ready to enter the race to land the highly-rated teenager along with Champions League winners Madrid.
With Mbappe currently in Russia helping France's World Cup campaign, any resolution looks a long way off, meaning we might just have a fresh transfer saga on our hands.

ARSENAL NEWS

Arsenal's third summer signing - a 30 million euro (£27m) deal for Sampdoria defender Lucas Torreira - appears to be all but confirmed.
The Serie A club's president, Massimo Ferrero, let slip live on Italian television that the Uruguay international's departure was happening.
Torreira, 22, joined Sampdoria in 2015 from Pescara for a reported 1.5 million euros (£1.32m).
Ferrero is said to have let the cat out of the bag while discussing how the club uses the transfer market to make handsome sums by developing players - and they do not sell unless they get "excellent offers".
Torreira would follow Juventus' Stephan Lichtsteiner and Bayer Leverkusen's Bernd Leno in moving to the Emirates as part of Unai Emery's pre-debut overhaul.

Manchester United are also said to have been contacted by Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas, through Jose Mourinho, regarding the future of midfielder Nabil Fekir.
Liverpool came within a whisker of signing Fekir before the World Cup only for the deal to collapse, and while it's widely believed that the Reds remain interested in the France international, he has been offered out to other clubs who are willing to meet his valuation.
Given how the talks with Liverpool unfolded, Lyon could well choose to sell to United in order to get one over the Merseyside club, and Aulas has claimed that he has spoken to Mourinho wile out in Russia.

Here's a bit of information on those reports surrounding Paul Pogba's future at Manchester United.
According to The Sun, United have not expressed their interest in selling Pogba. Instead Paris Saint-Germain believe that they can tempt the Premier League side into letting him go this summer in return of Marco Verratti, with the Ligue 1 side also adding a cash sum to the offer to sweeten the deal.
It's not yet known what Verratti would favour given that reports in Italy claim he is close to signing a new contract with PSG, but with Pogba's future very much up in the air right now it seems PSG have chanced their arm to see whether he can be prised away from Old Trafford.

Riyad Mahrez remains a transfer target for Manchester City, but any move is currently being put off due to the Algeria midfielder's pay-off fee that he is asking for to leave Leicester.
Mahrez has attempted to force through a move to the Etihad twice in the last year, only for the Foxes to block any transfer, but The Sun claims that he could finally be on his way once terms are agreed on his severance deal.

Chelsea have made it clear they want to hold on to Eden Hazard if possible, but reports in Spain suggest that the Belgium star was actually offered to Real Madrid before the final World Cup got underway.
Spanish newspaper Marca claims this morning that Hazard was offered to the Champions League winners before their final triumph over Liverpool, although the club are yet to move on their summer transfer plans after the sudden upheaval of manager Zinedine Zidane.
