Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup for the day! There are some mad, mad rumours up ahead, so just buckle your seatbelts and get ready for the electrifying ride up ahead!


#5 Crystal Palace and West Ham

There are some rumours surrounding Crystal Palace as Wilfried Zaha will not be sold in the summer. Palace will, on top of that, want to sign Jay Rodriguez and purchase Loftus-Cheek permanently, say football.london.

Meanwhile, West Ham United seem like one hell of an audacious club as they are now being linked with Barcelona defender Yerry Mina. Mina, however, doesn’t want to go to England on loan and prefers learning his trade at a Spanish club instead, state Don Balon.

#4 Sarri talks up future

Sarri could move to Chelsea

Chelsea managerial target Maurizio Sarri has stated that his chapter with Napoli might just be over and that he would prefer to move abroad.

"Everything in life ends and it is better to finish things after writing a beautiful story,” he was quoted by Mirror.

"I don't know if I will stay, I have to talk about it with my family.

"What I do think is that I could not go directly to another Italian team, and that if I had to make a change I would prefer to go abroad."

#3 Sessegnon to Spurs

This trail had gone cold recently but The Telegraph have reignited it as they claim that Tottenham Hotspur are at the front of the queue to sign the Fulham star awarded with the Championship Player of the Year honour.

Meanwhile, Claret and Hugh make a huge claim about Manuel Pellegrini being appointed the manager of West Ham United on a contract worth £10 million-per-year and FULL control over the club’s football affairs.

#2 Manchester madness ft. Liverpool

Bale
to leave?

There is not a day that goes by without this madness as Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has made a stern demand that he needs at least five signings to make Manchester United win the Premier League next season, according to the Mirror.

Meanwhile, Gareth Bale has been linked with a move out of Real Madrid for a long time now and today is no different as Madrid have put a £150 million price-tag on Bale or he could be used in a swap deal to bring Mohamed Salah – according to Don Balon.

#1 Rumour of the day

Liverpool FC Legends v FC Bayern Legends - Friendly Match
Back to PL as an assistant?

The Arsene Wenger era is over – let’s get that sunk in. We will no longer see him in the dugout during Arsenal games. Instead, we will see someone else – and if reports are to be believed, it will be a familiar face in Mikel Arteta.

However, he could be joined by someone else as he will also need help with his job. As it turns out, according to Don Balon, Xabi Alonso has an offer from Mikel Arteta to be his deputy at the club. The former Real Madrid star shall decide before the World Cup.
