- Manchester United are targeting Basel striker Breel Embolo this summer, according to German publication Bild. United have reportedly been in talks with the 19-year-old’s representatives and are expected to put in a bid in the next few weeks. There has been an offer from Red Bull Leipzig too, but United can offer a more lucrative financial package and are in the pole position to sign the player.

- According to the Daily Mirror, Leicester City are closing in on £12million Nampalys Mendy as a replacement for in-demand N'Golo Kante. A number of clubs including Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in signing Kante and Claudio Ranieri sees Mendy as an ideal replacement.

- Arsenal have joined the race to sign Fulham striker Moussa Dembele, as claimed by ESPN FC. The 19-year-old will be out of contract at the Craven Cottage next month and has refused to sign a new deal with the club.

- Manchester United are also monitoring German international Julian Draxler, reports the German publication Bild. Draxler is reported to be open to a move away from Bundesliga club Wolfsburg despite signing a five-year deal with the club which has alerted Jose Mourinho, who is looking for world-class players to strengthen his squad.
