John Terry says Arsenal should sign Harry Kane
The summer transfer window is already throwing up some potentially massive deals as Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United all look to strengthen ahead of the new season. The Gunners are keen on signing Christos Tzolis but any move for the Club Brugge is not expected to have any impact on interest in Morgan Rogers or Bradley Barcola.
A new midfielder is also thought to be high on Arsenal's wishlist, with Bournemouth's Alex Scott joining Ayyoub Bouaddi and Manu Kone in being linked to the Premier League champions. Man United are too aiming to bolster their engine room and are targeting a signing on top of Ederson, who should be announced imminently, and have been credited with interest in a stunning swoop for West Ham duo Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes.
Chelsea are on the market for a left-back after cashing in on Marc Cucurella, while another exit is on the cards as new manager Xabi Alonso begins to build a squad in his image. Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign Jan Paul van Hecke but could miss out to Manchester City for Sandro Tonali, while Liverpool have hijacked Newcastle's move for Victor Munoz.

Latest transfer news and rumours
Chelsea monitor Diogo Costa
Chelsea are monitoring Porto's Diogo Costa as they consider bolstering their goalkeeping department.
Robert Sanchez was the number one for the majority of the season, though with Filip Jorgensen expected to leave this summer in search of regular first-team football, there could be some movement.
However, any deal for the Portugal international will cost £51million, according to the Mirror.
Liverpool to sign Victor Munoz
Liverpool have successfully hijacked Newcastle’s move to sign Osasuna’s Victor Munoz.
The 22-year-old winger caught the eye of various clubs across Europe with his performances this season.
Newcastle were the first Premier League side to move for Munoz, who is presently representing Spain at the World Cup, but Liverpool have beaten them to the punch.
The Reds have triggered the player’s €40million (£34.6m) release clause, per The Athletic, and flown out club doctors to conduct his medicals at Spain’s World Cup training base in Atlanta.

Barcola bid
Arsenal are looking into the necessary details before lodging a bid for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola.
That is according to the Independent who also claim there is a possibility that the Gunners also buy Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa.
It has previously been rumoured that PSG will demand at least £100m for the Frenchman, who scored in the win over Senegal earlier in the week.
Spurs join Summerville race
Teamtalk report Tottenham are among the clubs interested in West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville.
The forward, who scored in Netherlands’ World Cup opener against Japan, is rated at around £50m by the Hammers.
Their relegation means they have to sell high-value assets like Summerville, who Manchester United have also enquired about signing.
McInnes leaves Hearts; joins Rangers
Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Derek McInnes from Hearts on a three-year contract.
McInnes leaves Hearts after almost winning their first Scottish title in 66 years, but was thwarted by Martin O’Neill’s Celtic on the final day.
He replaces Danny Röhl, whose exit to join Austrian outfit RB Salzburg was confirmed earlier today.
Villa want Rashford reunion
Aston Villa and Unai Emery could reunite with Marcus Rashford, say Sports Boom.
Rashford - on loan at Villa from January to May 2025 - has a reported £40m release clause in his Man United contract, which Villa want to activate.
He was on loan at Barcelona last season, scoring 14 goals and assisting 14 goals, but they reportedly turned down the chance to make the move permanent.
The Catalan side signed Anthony Gordon for £69m earlier this month.
Cambiaso a target for Chelsea
Chelsea are looking at Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso to replace Marc Cucurella - who moved to Real Madrid for €55m on Monday - according to Gianluca DiMarzio.
Cambiaso, 26, is worth around €20m and has three years on his contract remaining.
Xabi Alonso’s side are also reportedly considering Madrid’s Alvaro Carreras.
Trossard considering Villa move
Mikel Arteta has sanctioned Leandro Trossard’s exit from Arsenal this summer, Football Insider reports.
Trossard, 31, has one year remaining on his contract and a move to Aston Villa is on the cards.
Unai Emery wants to add depth to his squad after they secured Champions League qualification for the second time in three seasons under Emery.
RB Leipzig to appoint Demichelis
Some more managerial movement: Martin Demichelis is set to become RB Leipzig’s new manager, according to Florian Plettenberg.
The former Manchester City defender, 45, took over at La Liga side RCD Mallorca in March, but his side were relegated in 18th.
The Argentine will replace Ole Werner, who Leipzig confirmed had been let go about 45 minutes ago.
Plettenberg reports Leipzig will pay a €2.5m release clause to Mallorca to secure Demichelis’ services.
City to rival Spurs for Tonali
The Athletic have reported Manchester City are interested in Sandro Tonali and will compete with Tottenham for his signature.
Spurs and Tonali’s camp were said to have held positive talks yesterday, but City’s interest could scupper those plans.
City remain in pursuit of Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, after their £106m bid was rejected last week.
