Arsenal and Liverpool to go head-to-head for Jack Butland

Both Liverpool and Arsenal are reportedly in the market for a goalkeeper in the summer. The Reds have dallied between Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius this season whereas Arsenal's Petr Cech has suffered a drop in form.

The Sun reports that Jack Butland of Stoke City tops the list for the Premier League giants with Liverpool ready to match the £40 million valuation of the 24-year-old. Arsenal are ready to match the offer for a custodian who has enough Premier League experience under his belt and is tipped to be England's No. 1 in the coming years.

Jose Mourinho rules out David De Gea sale

David De Gea has a Manchester United contract until 2019 with an option to extend it by a year. He has emerged as a top target for Real Madrid in the summer with the European champions looking for an upgrade in the goalkeeping department. But Jose Mourinho has revealed that United have no intention of selling one of their best players.

Talking to the press, Mourinho said, "Do you think a club that is trying to attract the best players is the club that is open to sell the best players? It makes no sense. If you want to go to that level, we have to attract the best players like we did with Alexis Sanchez, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba and so on, and don't let our best players go."
