Transfer news LIVE! Pochettino wants Man United; Chelsea eye McKenna, Arsenal bid rejected, Spurs want Gimenez | OneFootball

All this talk of early transfer deals and players making moves before the Euros, and it is the managers who are dominating the headlines. While Chelsea appear to have wrapped up their first deal of the summer, in the form of Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian, they have also lost another manager, with Mauricio Pochettino leaving by mutual consent.

That means the third permanent manager search in just over a year and a half, with Kieran McKenna and Enzo Maresca the key targets, while Pochettino is of interest to Manchester United... and England. Vincent Kompany was considered but looks to be off to Bayern Munich. Liverpool already have a new manager in Arne Slot, who wants to make PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko his first signing.

Transfer-wise, Arsenal want a new striker with Alexander Isak the main target, but Ajax’s Brian Brobbey and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko are considered more likely options. Tottenham are in the same boat, with Feyenoord's Santiago Gimenez of interest, along with Ivan Toney and Dominic Solanke.
