Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd deal 'on hold', Chelsea £20m boost, Liverpool eye new Salah

Chelsea are close to hijacking Newcastle’s deal for Tosin Adarabioyo, reports Fabrizio Romano.

The Magpies have been negotiating with the defender, who opted to become a free agent after running down his contract with Fulham, for weeks and were confident that they would secure his signature soon.

But Chelsea have now swooped to assert themselves as ‘clear favourites’ to sign the 26-year-old, with Enzo Maresca is keen to make the centre-back the first signing of his tenure.

Tottenham have reportedly put Richarlison, along with 10 other stars, up for sale this summer.

According to the Evening Standard, Spurs will ‘consider’ offers for the Brazil international, despite the forward publicly attempting to squad speculation about his future.

The 27-year-old is attracting interest from several Saudi Pro League side’s and offers in the region of £60million would test Tottenham’s resolve.

Emerson Royal, Bryan Gil and Djed Spence are among a host of stars also set to leave Spurs this summer.

Arsenal have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Napoli star Victor Osimhen.

The Nigeria international has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with Chelsea previously viewed as the leading contenders to secure his signature.

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the Blues are not looking to sign the ex-Lille star this summer as they are targeting alternative striker options.

The transfer decision will provide Arsenal with plenty of food for thought as they had previously shortlisted Osimhen as one of their key considerations this summer.

Ipswich are plotting a £20million move for Chelsea’s Omari Hutchinson this summer, reports Football London.

The winger shone on loan with Kieran McKenna’s side last season, scoring 11 goals and helping the club to promotion to the Premier League.

Hutchinson made a significant impression at Portman Road Stadium and Ipswich are now willing to spend big to retain his services, in what will be music to the ears of Chelsea given that they must raise funds before their respective spending spree gets underway.

Liverpool are reportedly plotting a move for Brentford playmaker Bryan Mbeumo.

According to L’Equipe, the Reds are set to battle it out with Newcastle to secure the signature of the 24-year-old this summer.

Mbeumo is said to be keen to make the move to a top club this summer and has publicly encouraged teams to come forward and open talks with the Bees.

After a sensational debut season, Manchester United are keen to tie Kobbie Mainoo down to a new contract.

However, the Daily Star report that the midfielder has put negotiations ‘on hold’ whilst he focuses on the Euros this summer, with talks expected to resume in July.

The midfielder is set to see his current salary quadrupled, with the higher powers at his boyhood club hoping to agree on a long-term contract to highlight how highly-regarded he is internally and why he is viewed as a key figure in INEOS’ project.
