Today's key events
Newcastle 'leading Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool in race for £68m defender'
Newcastle United are reportedly ahead of a number of Premier League rivals in the race to sign a highly-rated defender this summer.
In sharp contrast to the team that performed superbly at the back in 2022-23, the Magpies have conceded 54 goals from 33 games during 2023-24.
As a result, Eddie Howe's side are in a fight to secure European football for next season, the club currently sitting in seventh position in the Premier League standings.
Although Newcastle will naturally be making plans for the transfer market, which reopens in June, their spending power will be influenced by whether they are able to add continental action to their schedule.
Chelsea 'set to miss out on Osimhen deal'
Chelsea are reportedly expected to miss out on the summer signing of Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.
The Blues have been continuously linked with the Nigeria international for a number of transfer windows, a consequence of his impressive form in Serie A.
Last season, Osimhen posted 26 goals from just 32 appearances as Napoli ended a wait of in excess of three decades to win another top-flight crown.
However, at a time when Napoli have under-performed domestically this campaign, there has been an acceptance that the 25-year-old will depart Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at the end of the season.
