Arsenal are aiming to kickstart their summer spending with a big-name striker signing. Newcastle star Alexander Isak is the dream addition but a £200million price tag has been slapped on the player, meaning RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko is considered more realistic. However, reports claim that Victor Osimhen, previously expected to join Chelsea, could be the new top target, while Newcastle now missing out on European football could lead to one of Isak or Bruno Guimaraes departing.

Talking of Chelsea, their manager search appears to be narrowing down to Enzo Maresca, Kieran McKenna and Roberto De Zerbi, with a new manager expected to be in place by the end of next week. Transfer dealings continue without a head coach, though, with Crystal Palace's Michael Olise due to be signed for around £60m and a £20m bid now being prepared for Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.

Manchester United will likely soon also be on the hunt for a new manager, with Erik ten Hag’s future still subject to huge doubt despite winning the FA Cup. McKenna has been tipped as his replacement, and the interest is mutual. Meanwhile, Tottenham are weighing up moves for Conor Gallager, Ivan Toney and a wide forward, with a battle brewing with Arsenal and Manchester United for Desire Doue.
