The transfer window continues for clubs across English football’s top flight with several big money deals still expected.
A Brighton & Hove Albion striker is discussing a move to EFL Championship side Sheffield United who are one of several clubs interested and Wolves are prepared to let an Everton target leave for just £10 million although the player would prefer a move to a club playing European football.
Meanwhile, a Chelsea transfer target is reportedly set to sign a new deal at Bayern Munich this summer while Arsenal are said to be delaying the exit of a midfielder who is out of favour under Mikel Arteta.
Manchester City are apparently monitoring the situation of a Sevilla defender while Premier League icon Wayne Rooney is looking to bring a West Ham United target to his new MLS side.
Elsewhere, Newcastle United are preparing a ‘final push’ for a winger who is valued at £60 million by his current club while Leeds United are said to be ‘in talks’ with an experienced midfielder who has played for several seasons in the Premier League with Manchester United and Chelsea.
Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Manchester United exit could be back on with reports saying a club in Saudi Arabia have made a significant financial offer to the six time Balon d’Or winner.
