English Premier League
- Leicester City are looking to sign Norwich City winger Robbie Brady this summer, according to reports in The Times. The Foxes have to prepare for the possibility of a mass exodus as they could find themselves without Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante next season. The Republic of Ireland international has two years left on his current deal with the recently relegated Canaries.
- Pep Guardiola is keen to bring in Victor Valdes to Manchester City next season, reports The Guardian. Valdes endured a miserable time at Old Trafford, making just two first-team appearances, and was eventually shipped out on loan to Standard Liege before being released this summer. The pair won Champions League and La Liga titles together with Barcelona and are known to be friends. Despite turning 34, Valdes would be seen as an ideal back-up for No 1, Joe Hart.
- Everton are preparing to offer Romelu Lukaku a new deal in an attempt to keep him at the club next season, ESPN have reported. The Belgian had earlier expressed his desire to leave the club to play in the Champions League, prompting big name clubs with Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus both joining the race to bag the striker’s signature. He has scored 61 goals in 127 games for the Toffees, and new manager Ronald Koeman is desperate to hold on to his star players.
The Merseyside club are also eyeing a move for West Brom’s Saido Berahino should the former Chelsea man decide to go.
