Arsenal
Eli Junior Kroupi – Perhaps most linked with Arsenal at the moment, an interesting battle could be on the cards for Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi this summer. If you believe Foot Mercato, the 19-year-old is also wanted by PSG and is interested in a move to the French capital, or other links with PSG have been played down by Get French Football News, then maybe the Gunners have a chance.
Mateus Fernandes – Recently linked with Arsenal by The Times, this exciting talent is not staying at West Ham after their sacking. However, we are seeing interest from Mateus Fernandes from Manchester United and Chelsea.
Ricardo Calafiori – The biggest name likely to be on the way out of Arsenal is Riccardo Calafiori, who has been the subject of interest for Real Madrid, as reported by Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel. Given how prone the Italian international is, perhaps there is a deal to be made there if the Spanish giants are willing to pay a handsome sum.
Leandro Trossard – As exclusively revealed this morning, the Arsenal winger is available if the right offers come in this summer, with Besiktas leading the race for his signature, while Premier League clubs and other European giants are also eyeing his situation.
Jesus Gabriel -Linked to Everton, it’s hard to see Gabriel Jesus staying at Arsenal after his recent poor injury record and lack of impact on the pitch. It will be interesting to see if he stays in the Premier League, but the Gunners may need to lower their asking price, according to Football Insider.
Ethan Nwaneri – Our understanding is that Arsenal could cash in on Ethan Nwaneri for around £35-40m this summer, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, and AC Milan have spoken about us as suitors, while Chelsea have also been interested for a long time after trying to sign him twice before.
Chelsea
João Pedro – The links with Barcelona are not going away, with Joao Pedro proving very impressive in his first season at Chelsea. We recently had reports that Barca boss Deco was in London to negotiate with Pedro, and Ben Jacobs also reported that interest from the Catalan giants is real, although Chelsea do not want to sell…
Although Barcelona’s interest in Joao Pedro is genuine, and some exploratory talks have taken place, Chelsea are not willing to sell him.

Enzo Fernandez – As he has shown moves in recent times, it seems clear that Enzo Fernandez is not happy at Chelsea. What we understand is that the Blues are under pressure to sell the Argentinian, who is attracting Real Madrid.
Marc Cucurella – According to talkSPORT, Marc Cucurella is another Chelsea player whose future seems to be in doubt, with Atletico Madrid showing interest in the Spanish international.
Liverpool
Alisson Becker – After the departure of long-time club legends Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson, we once again saw Liverpool say goodbye to goalkeeper Alisson Becker this summer. As we previously reported, the interest from Juventus is real, even if it is not as advanced as some sources say. With Giorgi Mamardashvili waiting in the wings, perhaps the Reds will be ready to sanction a sale in what looks to be a big summer of change at Anfield.
Curtis Jones -We have been informed that Liverpool are willing to listen to offers for Curtis Jones this summer as he approaches the final year of his contract. Tottenham are currently one of his biggest suitors, and it cannot be ruled out that Inter Milan will try to renew the deal after chasing him in January.
Manchester City
Elliot Anderson – Manchester City have already had a bid rejected by Nottingham Forest, according to Athletic, but don’t expect this story to end. Anderson has long been linked with a number of big clubs, and the general feeling within the industry is that City have done a lot of work in this deal. He is arguably one of the best midfielders in Europe right now, so this one won’t come cheap.
Rodri – Linked many times with Real Madrid, it is not clear if the Spanish midfielder will definitely leave the Etihad Stadium, but it is something to keep an eye on after the departure of Pep Guardiola. Fabrizio Romano confirmed Real’s interest on his YouTube channel, so this is real and true, not just rumours. A new contract is also still possible, though, so we’ll have to see how this goes.
Josko Guardiol – He is not a player Man City will want to lose, but there is growing interest in Josko Gvardiol, with the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich understood to be watching him.
Omar Marmoush – Perhaps the most likely to be available this summer is City’s Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush, who we understand is attracting Barcelona.

Manchester United
Adam Wharton – With Anderson having moved to City, perhaps the next logical move for Manchester United would be to move for Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton. Unfortunately not making England’s World Cup squad, perhaps a big move will help him become a regular at international level, and he won’t be short of suitors. The SUN linked Wharton with United, saying he was determined to move up to the Champions League team.
Morgan Rogers – Another young top English talent who has been linked with Man Utd, as well as other top clubs, is Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers. The Manchester Evening News claim that the Red Devils consider Rogers to be a long-term successor to Bruno Fernandes, so that would be an exciting signing to help Michael Carrick take the club back to the top flight.
Alex Scott – Another option for United in midfield could be Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, who has been linked with MUFC by Athletic. Even if United were to miss out on both Anderson and Wharton, the selection of Scott as a decent alternative shows just how much talent there is in the Premier League right now.
Marcus Rashford – The matter has not been resolved, but the latest in sports is that United may cool their stance by selling Marcus Rashford to Barcelona permanently. The England international came to prominence on loan at the Nou Camp and looks like a decent signing, with €30m perhaps steep for a player of his age, but something that continues to improve.
Newcastle United
Sandro Tonali Since January, it looks like Newcastle will be fighting a losing battle to keep Sandro Tonali this summer. After Alexander Isak’s move to Liverpool last summer, and Anthony Gordon already joining Barcelona this year, there are now growing rumors about Arsenal pursuing Tonali, according to Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel. If there is any consolation for Newcastle, it is that this could be another big sale that could give them some serious working capital in terms of reinvesting in their squad.
Tino Livramento – One of Newcastle’s exciting talents attracting interest is Tino Livramento. The Telegraph previously reported that he would be available for around £60m this summer, which may not be too bad a deal for the Magpies for a man who has been heavily injured.
Lewis Hall – Finally, we could see Lewis Hall leave Newcastle this summer, with our latest information that Man United are preparing to increase their interest. He is also on Barcelona’s radar, according to a recent report from Sports, as quoted and translated by Sports Witness
Tottenham
Jan-Paul van Hecke – Tottenham need a strong summer, and it looks like they are doing everything they can to get off to a good start by making a bid for Brighton defender Jan-Paul van Hecke. According to Athletic, he is a well-known player and has been valued by Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi since his time at Brighton.
