Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Galacticos!
Pochettino on the type of player that he wants
Tottenham Hotspur haven’t signed a single player in the last two transfer window and I haven’t missed a single opportunity to bring this up every time I have the chance.
Spurs are expected to break the deadlock this summer as Pochettino has spoken about the type of player that he wants. He stated that the player he would sign has to have the ability to adapt quickly.

"Above all, it’s about being able to adapt quickly to what the coaching staff and club require from you," he said.
He then added that on a personal level, a player’s willingness to give it his best shot is what he looks at. He further stated that the most important thing while managing a squad is having the ability to adapt.
"On an individual level, it’s about the willingness of each player to give his best. It’s a given that players at a professional club are talented. That helps us to achieve our goals.
"The most important thing is the ability to adapt what we have, to what we’re up against every day. That’s a huge challenge when you‘re managing a squad. We need to have the same objectives and to work together to achieve them."
The Argentine also stated that having passion is also a main thing as it is the crux of the beautiful game.
"In football, passion is the main thing. The football we all love comes from emotion and passion. Football inspires and excites us," he said.
Spurs have been linked with the likes of Tanguy Ndombele and Giovanni La Celso.
Stan Collymore on who Liverpool should sign
Former Liverpool forward Stan Collymore has stated that Liverpool need two places to look at in the summer. The Reds have only just won the Champions League and will now look in the transfer market for tweaks.
And according to Collymore, the Merseyside outfit need a dominator in midfield like Fernandinho is for City – someone who is really consistent throughout the season.
He also added that the Reds need a challenger to the place of Robrto Firmino regularly and two more signings to add meat to the roster.
“On the pitch, Klopp needs a midfielder who, like Fernandinho at City, will function at 9.8/10 over a season,” said Collymore.
“And a striker who will challenge Roberto Firmino on a regular basis, as well as a couple more to flesh out the squad.”

Tottenham transfers
Today seems to be a rather active day for the Lilywhites in the transfer rumour mill as there has been some progression regarding the two players they have been linked with.
According to report from Le10Sport, Spurs are ready to up the game to bring Tanguy Ndombele, linked to United as well, to the club. Tottenham have already seen their first bid rejected for the midfielder as Lyon want around €80 million for him.
The report also adds that Lyon want to sell him before June ends, which means that the talks will advance in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, according to Mirror, Betis star Giovanni Lo Celso is pushing for a deal to Spurs. The representatives of the player are convinced that Betis will let him leave should they receive £70 million for the Argentine.
Spurs have seen their first bid worth £62 million rejected for the midfielder.
Manchester madness
And here we are with Manchester madness. In the Premier League, no club need a bigger renovation than the Red Devils as their squad looks heavily depleted. The Old Trafford outfit have been linked with quite a lot of players and one of them is Bruno Fernandes.
The Portuguese superstar has caught the attention of Manchester City as well but the Red Devils seem to be leading the race. According to reports, United have made a sensational €80 million bid for the superstar.
Meanwhile, according to more reports, the Red Devils are now in pole position to sign James Maddison from Leicester City. The Englishman was solid for the Foxes in the recently concluded season and United want to bring him to the Theatre of Dreams.
The report adds that they are in the early stages of enquiry and discussions regarding a potential transfer.
Salah/Rashford wanted by Madrid
Real Madrid are set to have a roller coaster ride in the summer transfer window. After a torrid season, Florentino Perez has rolled up his sleeve and has gotten to work as the Galacticos have confirmed the signing of Luka Jovic.
And now, there is reportedly more to come in the form of Eden Hazard and Ferland Mendy. In some quarters a deal for Paul Pogba and Christian Eriksen is also being touted.
However, there seem to be more targets in their list as according to reports from Spain, Real Madrid have two alternatives for Neymar and Mbappe.
According to the report, Manchester United are willing to let Marcus Rashford go to Real Madrid if the Blancos offer €50 million plus Gareth Bale. The English youngster is not the only one on their list Mohamed Salah is also a name.
Liverpool, however, would ask for more cash even if Bale was involved in the deal.
