The summer transfer window does not open for a few more weeks yet but wheels are already in motion across many clubs. Chelsea are expected to confirm Enzo Maresca as their new manager within hours, and Crystal Palace's Michael Olise could be his first signing in a £60million deal. Alternatively, it could be Victor Osimhen from Napoli with Romelu Lukaku going the other way. Levi Colwill could leave, though, with Manchester United keen on his signature.

United could have a new manager of their own, with Roberto De Zerbi and Thomas Frank of interest, but Erik ten Hag could get keep his job. Tottenham are prioritising a striker and a cut-price £40m deal for Ivan Toney is an option, while there is also interest in Dani Olmo as Spurs re-sign Timo Werner on loan.

Arsenal were interested in Toney, but Nico Williams, Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak are further up their striker shortlist. Joshua Zirkzee has also been offered to the Gunners. In midfield, Bruno Guimaraes and Xavi Simons are targets. Reports also suggest Mikel Arteta has spoken to Marcus Rashford over a summer move. Liverpool are keen on Leny Yoro, who could join Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid. Follow all the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip live below!

Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat has opened the door to staying at Old Trafford.

He told Ziggo Sport: “We’re going to talk. Staying is certainly an option.

“Listen, I think it has been a very difficult season. For Manchester United it has to be much better, and also for me personally. We will talk.

“Manchester United are the biggest club in the world, so who wouldn’t want to play football here? But all parties have to be happy with each other, so we will now sit together and see what happens.”

Liverpool learn hefty price tag for Teun Koopmeiners

Atalanta are increasingly unlikely to cash in on Liverpool target Teun Koopmeiners.

The Dutch midfielder has been strongly linked with being Arne Slot’s first signing for a few weeks, and expressed his desire to leave Bergamo earlier this year.

However, TMW now say Atalanta want to keep hold of Koopmeiners.

They will demand a high price just as they did for Rasmus Hojlund a year ago, with an asking price of over £50m plus bonuses expected - and the Serie A club are hoping for a bidding war to up the price further.

Done deal!

Tottenham have re-signed Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig.

The German forward initially arrived in January and scored twice in 15 appearances, providing three assists, before his season ended prematurely due to a hamstring injury.

Spurs had been linked with a fresh move for Werner and held a £14.5million purchase option as part of his original loan stay.

However, they have instead signed the 28-year-old on fresh loan terms.

Werner will return to north London for next season on a 12-month deal which holds a new £8.5m option to make the transfer permanent.

Victor Osimhen swap deal could work for Chelsea

Chelsea and Napoli could be coming together for a swap deal of sorts.

Incoming Partenopei coach Antonio Conte has reportedly eyed Romelu Lukaku as his first signing.

And La Gazzetta dello Sport say he would be the replacement for Victor Osimhen.

Named as leading the race to sign Osimhen are… Chelsea.

The Nigerian forward has a £113m release clause in his contract and Lukaku would cost £34m, meaning it could effectively turn into a swap deal with Lukaku heading to Napoli along with £89m for Osimhen.

“You never know, do you? That's football,” Bijlow told Voetbalzone when asked about his future. “You never know that.

“I'm ambitious, I've always said that. If the opportunity presents itself and a good club comes from abroad, I am open to it. I've always said that.

“As long as I am under contract with Feyenoord, that is never a punishment and I will give everything as long as I play there.”
