Gabriel Jesus

  1. Interested clubs: Arsenal, Chelsea
  2. Rumoured fee: £45m

Following the arrival of Erling Haaland, there were always going to be departures at Manchester City and Gabriel Jesus fits that bill.

The 25-year-old has struggled for regular minutes despite Pep Guardiola singing his praises, with Arsenal ready to hand him responsibility as their central striker.

Jesus has already worked with Mikel Arteta which suits the Gunners, but with one year left on his contract and needing a Romelu Lukaku replacement, Chelsea lurk with intent.


Raphinha

  1. Interested clubs: Arsenal, Tottenham
  2. Rumoured fee: £55m

After the emotional mid-season divorce with Marcelo Bielsa, Leeds scraped Premier League survival last term and nobody was more influential than Raphinha.

The Brazil forward made 14 goal contributions (11G, 3A) and caught the eye with some scintillating performances, drawing interest from both Arsenal and Tottenham.

It’s understood that Raphinha would prefer to join Barcelona, although their financial situation could make it a straight shoot-out between North London rivals.


Raheem Sterling

  1. Interested clubs: Chelsea
  2. Rumoured fee: £55m

Much like Gabriel Jesus, a change of scenery could be perfect for Raheem Sterling after seven years at Manchester City.

There is a feeling that his career has stalled despite maintaining respectable numbers and fallen down the pecking order with Phil Foden and Jack Grealish often favoured.

Chelsea are the only club expressing serious interest and playing just off the striker, as part of an interchangeable front three under Thomas Tuchel could reignite his talent.


Christian Eriksen

  1. Interested clubs: Brentford, Manchester United
  2. Rumoured fee: Free transfer

It’s been just over one year since Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field against Finland, having suffered a cardiac arrest. And what a journey it’s been.

After terminating his contract with Inter, the 30-year-old joined Brentford on a six-month loan and quickly settled back into English football with some top performances.

With Tottenham cooling their interest, the love story could either continue with the Bees, or will the Dane opt for one last dance at the top level with Manchester United?


Kalvin Phillips

  1. Interested clubs: Manchester City
  2. Rumoured fee: £55m

Sorry, Leeds fans. This is another potential heartbreak departure with Kalvin Phillips likely to spread his wings this summer.

Manchester City have made no secret of their interest in the 26-year-old and what City want, they usually get.

Having played a significant role in their climb back up the English tier system, Phillips will command a sizeable fee for his boyhood club who can then rebuild.
