We are edging closer to the official opening of the transfer window all of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are expected to be busy. The Gunners are keen to bring Declan Rice to the club as they seek to improve on a disappointing end to the season and he could soon be joined by Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, a player they made multiple bids for over the course of the January window.
Chelsea, meanwhile, could be about to sell Mateo Kovacic to rivals Manchester City before looking to lure Sporting Lisbon midfielders Manuel Ugarte and Gabri Veiga to the club this summer. Mason Mount, meanwhile, is believed to have agreed personal terms with Manchester United and David Raya is close to joining too.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is understood to have emerged as the frontrunner for the job at the moment and he could first have to deal with the prospect of Harry Kane as Real Madrid reportedly look to replace Saudi Arabia-bound Karim Benzema.
