Transfer rumours: Florian Wirtz, Benjamin Sesko and Alejandro Garnacho could all be on the move very soon
Arsenal are chasing a deal for Benjamin Sesko with the first summer transfer window now officially open. Andrea Berta is said to have held talks with RB Leipzig over a £70million deal, though the Gunners are still being heavily linked with Viktor Gyokeres having also been offered Leroy Sane and also reportedly looked at Rodrygo and Rafael Leao as they look to close the signing of Martin Zubimendi and face Barcelona interest in Thomas Partey.
There has been a fresh twist in the Florian Wirtz to Liverpool saga, with Bayer Leverkusen now said to want either Jarell Quansah or Harvey Elliott as part of the deal with new discussions planned this week. The Reds have also been handed a boost over Milos Kerkez, though are said to be behind Chelsea in the battle for Hugo Ekitike as Luis Diaz potentially prepares to leave Anfield.
Manchester United desperately hope to keep Bruno Fernandes after signing Matheus Cunha as they also target Pervis Estupinan, though Alejandro Garnacho is believed to want to join Chelsea, who are expected to complete the signing of Liam Delap on Monday after a medical.

Liam Delap to seal Chelsea move today
There is expected to be one new signing through the door at Chelsea - maybe as soon as today - in Liam Delap.
The Blues saw off stiff competition from the likes of Manchester United, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Everton in the race for the Ipswich striker, who has a £30m release clause at Portman Road following the Tractor Boys’ relegation from the Premier League.
Delap has agreed a long-term contract at Chelsea and underwent the first part of his medical on Sunday.
He is expected to complete those formalities today ahead of an official announcement this week.
The only issue for Chelsea to sort now is whether he goes with them to the Club World Cup, which clashes with the Under-21 European Championship.

Alejandro Garnacho wants Chelsea move
Alejandro Garnacho looks set to leave Manchester United this summer and reportedly wants to stay in the Premier League with Chelsea.
It was a very difficult end to the season at Old Trafford for the Argentine, who was none too pleased with being named on the bench for the Europa League final and in the fallout was apparently told in no uncertain terms by Ruben Amorim to find a new club.
There have once again been links to Serie A champions Napoli, along with Chelsea, who have also been strongly interested in Garnacho in the past.
Per The Sun, the 20-year-old wants to head to Stamford Bridge this summer in a deal that could be worth around £50m.

Liverpool handed new Florian Wirtz twist
There appears to have been another twist in the Florian Wirtz to Liverpool saga.
The Premier League champions are wasting no time this summer and have been busily trying to complete a swift and blockbuster deal for the German forward after already sealing the £29.5m signing of his Bayer Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong to replace the Real Madrid-bound Trent Alexander-Arnold.
