Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup for the day. We have some exciting new rumours for you which could put you in a state of delirium. So without further ado, here we go!


#5 Liverpool

It seems as though the Merseyside outfit have some bad news as The Sun report that, according to his agent, Roma goalkeeper Alisson is focused on accolades with Roma, but won’t sign a new deal just yet. He also revealed that they never spoke to Liverpool.

"Will he sign a new contract? Now he is focused only in Serie A and on the Champions League.

"We have a great relationship with Roma. We never spoke with Liverpool about him. Now Alisson only thinks in present time.

Meanwhile, Emre Can has hinted that we will play for a European elite club next summer with both Real Madrid and Juventus being linked to him earlier.

‘I have the self-confidence to say that my qualities are sufficient to play in a very big club next season,’ he was quoted as saying by the Metro.

#4 Tottenham

Crystal Palace v Newcastle United - Premier League
Tottenham have a long-standing interest in Zaha

The North London outfit’s romance with Wilfried Zaha has been going on for quite a while now and they might finally make the marriage happen in the summer as they prepare to make a £40 million bid for the Ivorian in and bring him to White Hart Lane, according to Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, Danish star Christian Eriksen has revealed that he is happy at Tottenham Hotspur.

“To be honest, I do not think about [interest from elsewhere],” he was quoted as saying by Goal.

“You play football in the present, but you also have dreams. Dreams are one thing, but they are only realistic when [an offer] is on the table. Right now, most people are very happy at Tottenham and I am also.”

#3 Manchester madness

Eibar v Real Madrid - La Liga
Bale might finally leave

Mourinho likes a lot of players from Real Madrid it seems and he has eyed three “cracks” at the Bernabeu. The players that Mourinho wants are Raphael Varane, Luka Modric and Isco Alarcon—say Diario Gol­—but Florentino Perez is only willing to let go of Gareth Bale in order to bring in David De Gea.

In similar lines, Don Balon report that David De Gea revealed to Sergio Ramos that Gareth Bale could join the Red Devils.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are trying to unite Marco Asensio and Isco at the Etihad by signing the duo. Marco Asensio, who is enjoying a good run of minutes, isn’t willing to play second-fiddle to players like Neymar and Salah—who could join the Blancos in the summer say Don Balon.

#2 Chelsea and Everton

Tottenham Hotspur v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League
Ready to leave?

The need for a defender has been very apparent for the Blues—despite having quite a few of them—and it turns out they might look towards cross-town rival’s best defender, Toby Alderweireld, to solve their defensive woes, say the Mirror.

Meanwhile, according to Crack Deportivo, Everton have contacted Boca Juniors’ defender Frank Fabra over a potential move and are leading the race for the full-back’s signature, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal.

#1 Arsenal

Everton FC v Olympique Lyon - UEFA Europa League
The man on fire

It is being reported by The Sun that Arsenal want to sign another star from Lyon in the form of Nabir Fekir. His agent earlier revealed that the attacking midfielder could leave Lyon and Arsenal want to pounce on the opportunity to sign him for £45 million.

Meanwhile, Petr Cech is reaching the twilight of his career and Arsenal want to prepare themselves for a life without the former Chelsea goalkeeper, reveal the same outlet. As a result, they have targeted Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno for a £25 million move in the summer with Jack Butland being one of the alternatives.
