Deadline day key events
Potential blow: Arsenal transfer target 'set to hold' contract talks
Arsenal-linked attacker Nico Williams is reportedly expected to hold contract talks with Athletic Bilbao.
Barcelona were interested in signing Williams last summer after he played an important role in Spain's triumph at Euro 2024.
However, concerns about Barcelona's ability to register players contributed to Williams' decision to stay put for the 2024-25 campaign.
The winger is currently focused on helping Athletic achieve Champions League qualification as well as their goal of going all the way in the Europa League, with Los Leones dreaming of playing in a European final at their home stadium of San Mames.
Chelsea 'enter talks' to sign Bayern-linked prospect
Chelsea have reportedly held talks over a potential move to sign Bayern Munich-linked attacker Konstantinos Karetsas from Genk.
Enzo Maresca's side are currently focused on matters on the pitch, with the Blues looking to secure Champions League qualification and go all the way in the Conference League.
However, Chelsea's recruiting team are already drawing up plans for the summer transfer window, as they look to strengthen Maresca's squad ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
Their search for reinforcements appears to have led them to the Belgian top flight, where they have identified a highly-rated prospect as a potential transfer target.
Salah succession plan in danger as Prem duo enter race for £25m 'bargain'
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly entered the running to sign Lyon protege Rayan Cherki, who has also caught the eye of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
The 21-year-old has been considered one of the gems in the Gones crown ever since making his debut at the age of 16, and he has already produced 25 goals and 42 assists in 176 appearances for the French giants.
Cherki has enjoyed his most productive campaign to date this term with eight goals and a staggering 18 assists in 35 matches, but Lyon were rocked by a provisional relegation to Ligue 2 earlier this season for financial problems.
The seven-time Ligue 1 champions will likely be forced to sell off some of their prized assets to raise the funds required to avoid demotion, and the 2003-born Cherki certainly fits into that category.
'Surprise' Sancho interest could lead to sensational Man Utd swap deal
Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho - currently on loan at Chelsea - has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for a surprise Premier League team this summer.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City starlet joined the Blues on a temporary deal in January, with an obligation to make the move permanent for around £25m if certain conditions are met.
However, Sancho has failed to cut the mustard under Enzo Maresca in recent weeks, and it has been claimed that a loophole in the terms of his agreement could see Chelsea back out of signing him permanently.
Rather than fork out the £25m to keep Sancho, Chelsea could apparently decide to pay Man United a 'penalty fee' to send the Englishman back to Old Trafford, where his contract only runs until the end of next season.
