Premier League clubs could spark a move for RB Leipzig ace Dani Olmo.
The Spanish star is tipped to move during the summer transfer window, with Fabrizio Romano reporting he boasts a £51million release clause in his contract.
Football grounds across the country could be welcoming a familiar face next season if Wayne Rooney is appointed as Plymouth Argyle boss.
The ex-Manchester United man has emerged as a possible candidate for the Argyle job, as per The Telegraph.
Rooney has been out of work since being sacked by Birmingham City earlier this year.
Arsenal will have to splash a club-record fee to pry Alexander Isak to the Emirates Stadium this summer, as per The Telegraph.

Lucas Paqueta’s recent charge from the FA for betting offences could spell bad news for Newcastle United, if Manchester City make a move for Bruno Guimaraes.
Pep Guardiola’s side are rumoured to be in the market for midfield reinforcements this summer, with Guimaraes having emerged as a potential candidate.
But given their shortlist of options has taken a hit with the Paqueta news, City could look to move in for Guimaraes sooner rather than later.
It’s suggested the Brazil ace has a £100million release clause – something City would likely be able to match.
Speaking ahead of the final, Ten Hag said: “Transfers? Of course I’m thinking about it, but my focus is until Saturday”
Manchester City‘s summer 2024 transfer plans have been dealt an early blow following news that Lucas Paqueta has been charged by the FA.

City legend Vincent Kompany is set to be appointed Bayern’s new manager, despite suffering Premier League relegation with Burnley this season.

Benfica have completed the permanent signing of Manchester United left-back Alvaro Fernandez after triggering a buy option in his contract.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Fernandez has signed a five-year deal, with United earning around £5m from the sale.
The Red Devils are said to have a buy-back clause, sell-on clause, and matching rights.
According to The Telegraph, both names have featured prominently in recruitment meetings ahead of the transfer window.
A winger is said to be a priority this summer, but Newcastle understand a deal for Bowen, and Calvert-Lewin, will be complicated and pricey.
Manchester United are leading Newcastle United and other rivals in the race for Michael Olise this summer, according to reports.
It’s claimed that Olise would prefer a move to Old Trafford in a deal that could be worth around £60m.
The 22-year-old winger is a boyhood United fan and is ready to answer the club’s cries for an upgrade on the right flank.

Dwight Yorke believes Manchester United must give Erik ten Hag the third year of his contract if he wins the FA Cup on Saturday.
“Listen, I’m a future big-time manager in the making,” Yorke told Express Sport on behalf of Crypto Casino.
“If I were to come in at any club and win two trophies back-to-back in both years, I’ve got to think I’ve saved my job somewhere along the line because no manager has been able to do that [since Sir Alex Ferguson].
“So, having my manager head on, from that standpoint, I would say he needs to stay.”
He added: “I think you’ve got to be fair. But if he were to win the FA Cup, I like to be fair because I like to be treated fairly as well. If I win two trophies in two years, fair enough.”
A deal is in place for Newcastle United to sign Lloyd Kelly on a free transfer this summer, according to the Mail.
The 25-year-old defender is set to leave AFC Bournemouth after five years, with St James’ Park his destination.
Newcastle are also said to be closing in on Fulham centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer.
The Ipswich Town manager reportedly wants to challenge himself at the highest level amid heavyweight interest.
Brighton and Hove Albion and former club Manchester United are also said to be circling.
Any suitor would owe Ipswich around £4m in compensation to lure McKenna away from Portman Road.
Mason Greenwood has hinted that his future may lie away from Manchester United, according to The Sun.
It’s claimed that the 22-year-old has put his £2m Manchester mansion up for rent at £14,000-a-month.

Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga has confirmed that he is looking to leave the club this summer.
The 24-year-old midfielder has made just 39 appearances since his £17m arrival in 2021, spending this season on loan at Luton Town.
“For me, I had a discussion with Arsenal and the conclusion was the best thing for me was to leave the club, so now it’s up to my agent and the club to find something,”Lokonga said.
“I still have a contract there, 1 year plus 1 year option so let’s see what happens.”
Newcastle United were reportedly close to completing a deal to sign Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer.
However, BBC Sport claim that United are pushing to recruit the Fulham defender this summer.
The Red Devils are thought to be in a tight financial position heading into the transfer window.
And a bargain deal for the 26-year-old would represent a perfect start to the INEOS era.
