The summer transfer window is edging ever closer and the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are all wasting no time getting their business done. The Gunners are closing in on the signing of Declan Rice, which would be a club-record deal, and hope to partner him with Brighton’s Moises Caicedo after reviving their interest from January.
At Chelsea, it’s all change in midfield. Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic are in talks with Manchester United and Man City, respectively, while the club are working on a deal to sign Sporting midfielder Manuel Ugarte. N’Golo Kante also faces an uncertain future. Mauricio Pochettino also wants a goalkeeper, with Brentford’s David Raya a target.
United have agreed terms with Mount and must now agree a fee with Chelsea, and are also working on a deal for 20-year-old Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund. Harry Kane is their main target, but he is expected to stay at Tottenham for one more year. Spurs, meanwhile, are closing in on Ange Postecoglou as their new manager.
