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. Roma's Alisson is next and could Lyon's Nabil Fekir follow? 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 Real Madrid's 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 four new signings and plenty more on the way with more on his shopping list. Chelsea have a new manager themselves after appointing Maurizio Sarri with the future of Eden Hazard high on his agenda 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.

So can a club's shirt sales pay off a transfer fee on their own?
Short answer: No. Not even close.
For the long answer we asked Jake Cohen, a sports lawyer who has worked on a number of high-profile transactions in football, to clear up one of the biggest misconceptions in the modern game.
Neymar has ruled out a summer transfer to Real Madrid and reaffirmed his commitment to Paris Saint-Germain, who he joined from Barcelona last summer in a world record £200m deal.
There has been growing speculation in Spain that Neymar is agitating for a return to La Liga but the 26-year-old, who is currently on holiday after representing Brazil at the 2018 World Cup, has denied that is the case.
Everton are braced for a third bid from RB Leipzig for Ademola Lookman.
The Bundesliga side have so far had two offers rejected to sign the 20-year-old but are preparing a third bid this week to break the deadlock.
Everton want £20million for the player they paid Charlton Athletic an initial £8million for in January 2017. So far Leipzig have only offered £12m plus add-ons and then £14m plus add-ons, both of which Everton have rejected.
But Leipzig are expected to make a third bid this week, which they hope will be close enough to Everton’s valuation to sign the player.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering triggering Adama Traore’s release clause to beat Huddersfield Town to the signing of the Middlesbrough winger.
The former Barcelona forward is as speedy and tricky as they came, with some metrics marking him out as one of Europe’s top dribblers.
And though his final product could still do with some work, the 22-year-old Spaniard is considered a diamond in the rough by both Wolves and the Terriers, who have both made their interest known.
Everton have stepped up their summer transfer activity by bidding a club-record £50m for Richarlison and stepping up talks with Barcelona pair Lucas Digne and Yerry Mina over moves to Goodison Park.
The Toffees have had a significant shake-up this off-season with the hiring of Marco Silva as manager and sporting director Marcel Brands.
Wayne Rooney was among the big-name departures as a squad that had some expensive surgery last year but it doesn’t appear to have put off owner Farhad Moshiri, who is pumping more money into the club’s transfer budget to try and compete for a Champions League spot.
