Today's key events
Man United 'ready to accept offers for out-of-favour midfielder'
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to accept offers for midfielder Christian Eriksen during the summer transfer window.
Following an eye-catching spell at fellow Premier League side Brentford, the Denmark international made the move to Old Trafford on a free transfer in the summer of 2022.
Eriksen was a key player for Erik ten Hag during his maiden campaign in charge on the red side of Manchester, starting 25 Premier League matches as the Red Devils secured a Champions League spot.
However, the midfielder's influence has waned over the course of the 2023-24 term, with the ex-Tottenham Hotspur man starting just nine matches in the top flight.
Sheffield United 'keen 12-goal Luton attacker'
Sheffield United are reportedly interested in the signing of Luton Town's John McAtee during the summer transfer window.
In search of regular first-team minutes, McAtee has the spent the 2023-24 campaign on loan from Kenilworth Road at League One outfit Barnsley.
McAtee has impressed for the Tykes, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists in 39 third-tier appearances as the Oakwell club fight for promotion.
Barnsley currently sit fifth in the League One standings but are in danger of dropping out of the playoff positions on the final day of the regular season.
Arsenal 'rekindle interest in Serie A striker after failed 2022 move'
Arsenal are apparently planning to rekindle their interest in a highly-rated Serie A striker after trying and failing to acquire his services in 2022.
During his days as a Fiorentina player, Dusan Vlahovic was heavily linked with a switch to the Emirates, and a deal was believed to be on the cards midway through the 2021-22 season.
At that point, the Gunners had acrimoniously severed ties with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while Alexandre Lacazette was in the final six months of his contract and on the way out too.
However, Vlahovic snubbed interest from the Gunners to join Juventus in a deal worth £71.8m, but consistency has been difficult for the Serbian to come by in black and white.
Leeds United legend 'wanted by Sheffield United on free transfer'
Sheffield United are reportedly interested in signing Leeds United's Luke Ayling during the summer transfer window.
Despite arguably having legendary status at Elland Road, the 32-year-old struggled for game time at the Whites during the first half of the campaign.
Looking for regular first-team minutes, Ayling secured a temporary switch in January to fellow Championship side Middlesbrough for the remainder of the term.
The right-back has featured 17 times in the second tier for Michael Carrick's troops, who are set to fall short of their goal of reaching the top six in back-to-back campaigns.
Barcelona 'lining up shock move for Chelsea midfielder'
Barcelona have allegedly identified Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka as a potential summer transfer target.
There is currently uncertainty both on and off the pitch at Camp Nou ahead of concluding a season where it appears that Barcelona will not collect any silverware.
As well as sitting 11 points adrift of Real Madrid in the La Liga standings with six matches remaining, the Catalan giants are in the market for a new manager to succeed the outgoing Xavi.
The financial position of Barcelona also remains well-documented with cutbacks needing to be made in order to fulfil La Liga regulations.
West Ham, Burnley 'chasing 12-goal Scottish youngster'
West Ham United and Burnley are reportedly interested in signing Kilmarnock youngster Bobby Wales during the summer window.
The 18-year-old is currently experiencing his first extended spell of senior football whilst on loan at Scottish League One outfit Alloa Athletic.
Wales has impressed since moving on a temporary deal to the third-tier side earlier this season, finding the net on 12 occasions in 24 league appearances.
The attacker also has experience of playing for Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership, earning 10 appearances across the 2022-23 campaign.
Manchester City facing five-player exodus this summer?
As many as five Manchester City players could leave the Etihad Stadium during the summer transfer window, according to a report.
The Citizens had their unprecedented double-treble hopes quashed by Real Madrid in the Champions League last week, but they remain on course to retain the two domestic trophies they won last season.
Indeed, Pep Guardiola's side secured a 1-0 win over Chelsea to progress to their second successive FA Cup final last weekend, and they are also in a three-horse race with Arsenal and Liverpool for the Premier League title.
After allowing the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez and Cole Palmer to depart the club last summer, Man City bolstered their squad by recruiting Mateo Kovacic, Matheus Nunes, Josko Gvardiol and Jeremy Doku.
Swansea's Sam Parker 'wanted by three Premier League clubs'
Swansea City youngster Sam Parker is reportedly wanted by three Premier League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 17-year-old has enjoyed his first taste of senior football in South Wales this season, being utilised by the Swans as they navigate a difficult campaign.
Parker has featured in two Championship matches for Swansea, starting against West Midlands duo Coventry City and Birmingham City in December and January.
The attacker also earned a starting berth for the FA Cup third-round clash with League Two outfit Morecambe, providing the assist for Charlie Patino's opener in a 2-0 victory.
Rangers handed major boost in pursuit of Premier League defender?
Rangers have reportedly been handed a major boost in their pursuit of West Ham United defender Ben Johnson ahead of the summer transfer window.
Johnson joined the Hammers' academy at the age of seven and worked his way through the youth ranks before making his senior debut for the club in December 2017.
Now 24, Johnson has made a total of 109 first-team appearances for West Ham across all competitions, including 29 outings last season when the Hammers won the Europa Conference League.
The England Under-21 international has since featured 22 times under David Moyes so far this term, although only seven of those appearances have been starts, including just four in the Premier League.
Liverpool 'demand mammoth nine-figure fee for Barcelona-linked Luis Diaz'
Liverpool have reportedly slapped a staggering nine-figure price tag on the head of Luis Diaz amid interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite his status as Jurgen Klopp's first-choice left-winger and his long-running contract at Anfield until the summer of 2027, the Colombian's future on Merseyside is being called into serious question.
Two-and-a-half years on from his arrival from Porto in the January 2022 window, no talks are believed to be ongoing to prolong his terms, and a sale could apparently be considered this summer if the two parties decide against an extension.
La Liga champions Barcelona and Ligue 1 champions-elect PSG are both said to be casting a watchful eye over the situation, but the two clubs could supposedly be quoted a monumental asking price.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea 'learn asking price for Championship star'
Premier League giants Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have reportedly learned what it will take to prise Crysencio Summerville away from Leeds United this summer.
The 22-year-old was recently bestowed with the Championship Player of the Season prize on account of having a direct hand in 28 goals in 41 second-tier appearances in 2023-24.
Summerville has conjured up 19 goals of his own in addition to nine assists, and he once again stole the spotlight during Monday's absorbing 4-3 triumph over Middlesbrough, scoring twice and setting up Wilfried Gnonto.
Leeds' thrilling win lifted them back into the top two of the Championship table at Ipswich Town's expense, although the Tractor Boys - who are one point behind - and leaders Leicester City, who are one point clear, each have a game in hand.
Leicester midfielder Ndidi wanted by Premier League club?
Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is reportedly attracting interest from the Premier League.
The 27-year-old is currently one of the Foxes' longest-serving players having arrived at the King Power Stadium in January 2017.
During that time, the Nigeria international has established himself as a club legend, starring during the FA Cup-winning campaign during 2020-21 and making a total of 270 appearances in all competitions.
However, Ndidi has now reached a point in his Leicester career where he is due to be out of contract at the end of the current season.
Man United 'plotting £232m swoop for three top summer targets'
Manchester United have reportedly identified the three ideal players that they would like to sign during the summer transfer window.
With Sir Jim Ratcliffe now at the head of footballing operations, major changes in all departments are expected at Old Trafford over the coming months.
While work has already been undertaken regarding behind-the-scenes roles, speculation persists that current manager Erik ten Hag could be the next person to leave a high-profile role.
Although United reached the FA Cup final on Sunday with a penalty-shootout victory over Coventry City, letting slip a three-goal lead against the Championship outfit has done the Dutchman no favours.
