Around two weeks remain until the summer transfer window opens, and Premier League clubs are readying themselves to complete their business. Euro 2024 begins in Germany on the same day, which could disrupt early dealings as players focus on their countries.

But Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have been among the outfits at the forefront of speculation ahead of another summer of movement.

United are being linked with a blockbuster swap deal involving Mason Greenwood, who is expected to leave Old Trafford permanently in the coming months.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are circling an exciting striker and may have leapt over a significant hurdle regarding an agent fee.

And Chelsea have seemingly identified the first position they want to bolster once Enzo Maresca takes charge.

Liverpool target Ollie Watkins

Aston Villa face a battle to keep Ollie Watkins ahead of a potential Liverpool swoop this summer, according to The Sun.

New Liverpool boss Arne Slot reportedly admires Watkins, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season.

Slot is said to harbour doubts over Darwin Nunez and views the 28-year-old as a replacement.

West Ham set to sign Wes Foderingham

West Ham United are in talks to sign Sheffield United goalkeeper Wes Foderingham on a free transfer, according to the Evening Standard.

The 33-year-old is out of contract this summer after playing 29 Premier League games last season.

West Ham want cover for Alphonse Areola and Lukasz Fabianski, with current No. 3 Joseph Anang due to be released.

Jean-Clair Todibo responds to Man Utd links

Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo has remained coy about a potential summer switch to Manchester United.

The 24-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford to replace Raphael Varane.

And he refused the rule out the possibility when asked whether a United transfer would appeal to him this summer.

“I’m going to keep that for me! Nice try,” Todibo told the Daily Mail.

Chelsea eye new goalkeeper

Chelsea are eyeing a new goalkeeper at the start of Enzo Maresca’s reign as head coach, and contact has already been made with a target, according to BBC Sport.

It’s claimed the Blues have contacted the camp of Villarreal’s Filip Jorgensen about a possible summer switch.

Maresca views a goalkeeper who is comfortable with the ball at his feet as crucial for his possession-based style of play.

Arsenal ready to pay high agent fee for Joshua Zirkzee

Arsenal are reportedly circling Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee as Mikel Arteta eyes upgrades to his attacking firepower this summer.

Corriere dello Sport report the Gunners are the frontrunners for Zirkzee, who has a release clause of £34m.

But the total package could be worth £47m, including a hefty fee that could be between £9m and £13m.

And Arsenal are claimed to have agreed that is worth paying to lure Zirkzee to the Emirates Stadium.

Man Utd considering Mason Greenwood swap

Manchester United are considering a swap deal involving Mason Greenwood and Atletico Madrid striker Joao Felix, according to reports.

The Daily Star claim Atletico are willing to offer Felix, who is keen to leave permanently this summer after loan stints at Chelsea and Barcelona.

However, the 24-year-old would reportedly prefer a club that can offer Champions League football.
