Trent Alexander-Arnold has confirmed he'll be one of the summer's big movers after confirming his Liverpool exit. After spending his entire career with the Reds the right-back has now chosen to pursue a new challenge.

Real Madrid are expected to be his destination, but nothing has been confirmed for Alexander-Arnold, who issued a heartfelt message upon his exit. He leaves a huge void at Anfield with the Reds needing to replace him.

Manchester United are in need of major surgery with their loss at the weekend again highlighting their issues. Ruben Amorim will need several big signings if they are to close the gap on the elite sides but their business is likely to depend on whether they get into the Champions League.

Arsenal's summer will be dominated by their need to add a striker. Not having a prolific No 9 has cost them at times this season with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres among those they're eyeing up. Manchester City need to right the wrongs from this season with Chelsea's approach also set to be telling.

We'll keep you up to date with all the latest with transfer rumours, news and analysis.

Man Utd ready to sell all but FOUR stars

Just four Manchester United stars are viewed as being 'untouchable' in the summer transfer window. The Red Devils are gearing up for a busy off-season after a miserable campaign under Ruben Amorim.

It appears that United chiefs are ready to be even more ruthless than many expected they might be. With the Red Devils needing to sell, it has now emerged than only four players are certain to stay.

That is according to the Daily Star, who report that United are willing to sell 'most members' of the current squad. The club are said to be 'desperate' to meet financial spending rules, while also being able to supply Amorim with the funds necessary to make new signings.

As a result, only captain Bruno Fernandes, veteran defender Harry Maguire, young attacker Amad and January signing Patrick Dorgu are 'immune' from the fire sale. The quartet will not depart no matter the fee offered.

Frimpong's Liverpool desire

One of the players Liverpool have been linked with as a replacement for Alexander-Arnold is Jeremie Frimpong. The Bayer Leverkusen star has four goals and 12 assists in 47 games this season and has caught the eye of scouts.

The 24-year-old has played for Leverkusen for the past four years, but started out in the Manchester City academy. However, explaining his journey as a youngster, he said he would have preferred to join Liverpool instead.

“One time with AFC Clayton, we had a final. I scored a hat-trick and won player of the tournament," he told Rising Ballers. "There were scouts from Liverpool, Man City, Bolton and lots more. I chose Liverpool first. I was going to sign for them but back then, driving wasn’t a thing. My family wasn’t driving and it was far. Man City was local so I tried Man City next. It made more sense. It was 15 minutes on the bus.”

Arsenal urged to go after KDB

Mikel Arteta has been told by Jamie O'Hara that he should be doing whatever he can to persuade Kevin De Bruyne to swap Man City for Arsenal when he departs the Etihad at the end of the season.

The former Wolfsburg man has already been linked with clubs in the United States but he has also refused to rule out playing for another team in England.

And O'Hara says that pursuing a deal for the player who has been City's orchestrator-in-chief during a period of sustained success is a no-brainer for an Arsenal side who have failed to win the Premier League title in successive years.
