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 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 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.

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.

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's third summer signing - a 30 million euro (£27m) deal for Sampdoria defender Lucas Torreira - is 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.

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 more information on those reports surrounding Paul Pogba.
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.
