The summer transfer window is approaching quickly on the horizon and clubs are already busy working on deals to acquire their top targets. For most clubs, planning will already be complete and they will have identified which players they want to sign, and which players they want to sell.
Managers will be constantly assessing their squads with sporting directors and recruitment staff scanning the market for potential deals this summer. The rumour mill is still gathering pace and we’ve collated some of the biggest current transfer stories – you can access the full rumour mill below.
Today’s biggest transfer stories
Bayern Munich are targeting Bournemouth starlet Junior Kroupi after his breakout season in the Premier League. The 19-year-old scored 13 goals for the Cherries to help them qualify for the Europa League and has been linked with Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Newcastle have reportedly identified Real Betis winger Abde Ezzalzouli as a replacement for Anthony Gordon. The 24-year-old, who will play at the World Cup with Morocco this summer, is also attracting interest from Aston Villa and Tottenham. He has a market value of €30 million, but Betis may ask for double that to let him leave.
Chelsea are one of several clubs monitoring FK BodøGlimt wonderkid Mikkel Bro Hansen. The striker, 17, is out of contract next summer and the Norwegian outfit could cash in, with Newcastle and Manchester City also circling Hansen.
