The transfer window is very close to us, and most Premier League teams have just one game left in what has been a roller-coaster campaign.
The focus is already turning to recruiting, with the biggest teams in the league desperately trying to get their business done early. For Arsenal, their main target is known to all in West Ham captain Declan Rice, and it is believed that the Gunners plan to make their first offer to the Hammers sooner rather than later.
Manchester United have all but secured their place in the Champions League next season and Erik ten Hag believes the club’s forward line must be of the elite level. As a result, the Red Devils are interested in signing Tottenham talisman Harry Kane, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy remains reluctant to let the striker go.
Liverpool are reeling from a draw at home against Aston Villa that almost certainly relinquishes the Reds to the Europa League, but their search for Alexis Mac Allister is giving the Anfield faithful something to look forward to.
Stay tuned all Sunday as we bring you all the latest transfer news and gossip!
