Tottenham's transfer merry-go-round has swung into top gear, with a £20m bid lodged for French hotshot Randal Kolo Muani. The Spurs faithful will be rubbing their hands in anticipation as the North Londoners chase down the 27-year-old Paris St-Germain ace, who lit up the Premier League during his loan spell last season. But here's the catch: Italian giants Juventus are still heavily fancied to land him, according to Tuttosport, and Spurs face a major battle to win the transfer war.
Further down the M1, Arsenal are on the cusp of making a massive statement in the market with a £35m swoop for Greek winger Christos Tzolis. The 24-year-old Club Brugge sensation is set to join the Gunners' ranks and bring some much-needed firepower to Mikel Arteta's squad ahead of what promises to be an explosive new season.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford's future at Barcelona hangs in the balance after a report from Sky Germany revealed that the Catalan club has opened talks with Borussia Dortmund over a move for German whiz kid Karim Adeyemi. Could this development spell the end of Rashford's loan spell and his hopes of securing a permanent return to the Nou Camp?
United are also getting in on the act, with preparations underway for a move for French midfield maestro Manu Kone. The 25-year-old is said to be itching to test himself in the Premier League, but there's one major hitch: Juventus are reportedly willing to sell him – if they can get the right price, that is.
And speaking of United, it seems their transfer ambitions have been dealt a crushing blow with the news that Aurelien Tchouameni has committed his future to Real Madrid. The 26-year-old French international agreed a five-year contract extension after Madrid rejected United's approaches – a harsh lesson in the realities of transfer warfare.
In other transfer tidbits, Liverpool and Arsenal are both prepared to loan Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi back to Lille if they can secure his signature this summer. It seems the French club is keen to keep him on board for another season – but who will get their hands on this talented young star first?
And finally, there's a transfer tug-of-war brewing between Crystal Palace and Fulham over Southampton midfielder Shea Charles. The 22-year-old Northern Ireland international has caught the eye of both clubs after Leeds United had two offers rejected, setting up an intriguing battle for his signature.
