Blink and you miss it as far as the summer break is concerned, with the Premier League’s start now just three days away.

Manchester United will kick things off on Friday night at home to Fulham, with Erik ten Hag’s side among the league’s (and Europe’s) top spenders this summer.

Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui’s moves were confirmed yesterday, with the rest of the league playing catch-up in terms of spending.

Newcastle United are among the teams looking to add players to their roster, with Marc Guehi rumoured as a Magpies’ target.

Crystal Palace are keen to keep the centre-back, but chairman Steve Parish has hinted a deal could be struck in the coming days.

Elsewhere, Chelsea have their eyes on a Cole Palmer repeat, whereas Liverpool’s hunt for their first signing of the summer window continues.

Sam Johnstone trolls Oliver Glasner after being stripped of No.1 shirt

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone shared a humourous social media post after being stripped of the No.1 shirt.

Manager Oliver Glasner confirmed yesterday Johnstone would depart if a suitable offer came in.

But the shot-stopper made his feelings clear about the number change, with Johnstone posting: “New day, new number.”

Johnstone accompanied the post with a series of laughing face emojis.

Man Utd ‘still talking’ to key summer target

Despite having signed four new players already this summer, Manchester United are reportedly still in talks for midfielder Manuel Ugarte.

It was reported earlier this month that United had walked away from a deal for Ugarte.

However, as per Fabrizio Romano, the deal could be back on.

It’s claimed by the Italian journalist that PSG are open to selling Ugarte, if United are keen on striking up a deal.

Newcastle issued Marc Guehi instructions by Palace

Newcastle United have been told to pay up or suck up by Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.

The Magpies have reportedly lodged three bids for the defender, but none have been successful so far.

Speaking to Sky Sports News on Tuesday, Parish said: “Nobody has got to the valuation yet. If you want a superstar player you need to pay superstar money. It’s not near the point where we have to make a decision.”

Chelsea eye Cole Palmer repeat after confirming contract extension
