Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup for the day. Today’s rumours are dominated by London and Manchester, so without further ado, let’s begin.


#5 West Ham and West Brom

According to HITC, Preston North End’s defender Greg Cunningham has attracted interest from Premier League outfit West Brom as they stare at relegation and at least a year in the Championship.

Meanwhile, Danny Drinkwater, who was signed by Chelsea last summer to the surprise of many, is frustrated at the lack of games that he is getting at the club and wants to leave in the summer with West Ham interested, says ExWHUEmployee.

#4 Arsenal

Outbound?

ESPN are usually the reliable ones and they are now reporting that Chelsea’s Kenedy has quite a few clubs interested in acquiring his signature.

Along with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal also want to sign him after a great loan spell at Newcastle this year.

Meanwhile, there is some bad news for Arsenal fans from the Mirror as Gunners’ target Jonny Evans is reportedly set to snub the London club in favour of Manchester City in the summer.

Evans has a £3 million relegation release clause and is likely to leave the club in the summer.

#3 Chelsea

The tactical genius

With the Chelsea boss expected to leave the club at the end of the season, the London outfit are set for a revamp in the summer and one of the players who could be pursued keeping that in mind is Eder Militao, says the Mirror, and is rated at £20 million.

Apropos to what was written earlier, Chelsea are looking for a new manager to take over after Antonio Conte leaves.

According to the Mirror, Chelsea have made a move for Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri as he has won a lot of plaudits for his attacking brand of play.

The Reds are on a rise ever since selling Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona and could now bring back former player Suso from AC Milan to make themselves a better unit.

The Spaniard has a €40 million release clause and Liverpool could now activate it, say CalcioMercato.

Ryan Bertrand is another left-back who used to ply his trade at Chelsea and is now attracting interest from a lot of clubs as Manchester United, Newcastle, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are in a race to acquire his signature, say The Sun.

#Bale11

Manchester Evening News state that Manchester United chairman Ed Woodward is a huge fan of Gareth Bale and dreams to land him at Old Trafford while unveiling him with #Bale11 hashtags on social media.

Faouzi Ghoulam to Manchester United is apparently half done, if a claim from Ciro Venerato – a journalist from RAI – is to be believed. According to him, Ghoulam is wanted by Manchester United and the deal is half done.
