Today's key events
Arsenal 'leading race for in-demand midfielder'
Arsenal are reportedly one of three clubs leading the race for one of the Premier League's most in-demand midfielders ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Gunners forked out in excess of £200m on four new players last summer, including the record £105m signing of Declan Rice and the £65m acquisition of Kai Havertz.
Havertz began the campaign operating in a three-man midfield, but Mikel Arteta has since moved the German into a centre-forward role where he has thrived, scoring eight goals and providing five assists in his last 11 Premier League games since mid-February.
Despite that, Arsenal have been tipped to recruit a new striker ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, but the addition of a new midfielder is also thought to be high on their agenda, amid uncertainty over the futures of Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, Mohamed Elneny and Charlie Patino.
Sancho comments on Man Utd future after starring in CL semi-final
Jadon Sancho has commented on his Manchester United future after starring for Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old re-joined Dortmund on loan from the Red Devils in January following his public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag earlier this season.
Sancho has since made a positive impact at BVB and has featured regularly under Edin Terzic, chipping in with three goals and two assists in 17 appearances across the Bundesliga and Champions League.
The winger received plenty of plaudits for his most recent performance on Wednesday when he helped Dortmund beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 on home soil in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
Man Utd, Spurs-linked midfielder rules out summer transfer
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been dealt a blow in their efforts to sign a new midfielder in the summer.
With the summer transfer window opening in June, clubs are beginning to put together their respective shortlists for the upcoming market.
United and Spurs have spent the season competing for a place in the top four of the Premier League standings, yet it appears that both may miss out on their target.
While United are already out of the running, Spurs sit seven points adrift of Aston Villa, albeit with two games in hand, and they must string together a run of wins during the run-in.
South American giants 'make official offer for Chelsea defender'
Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has reportedly received an official offer from Fluminense.
On Monday morning, the legendary centre-back confirmed that he would be departing Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, concluding a four-year stay.
As it stands, it is unclear whether the 39-year-old will be able to add to his 151 appearances in all competitions courtesy of the groin injury that he sustained against Aston Villa last weekend.
With just two-and-a-half weeks of the season remaining, the chances are that the Brazil international may now not play again until the Copa America in the summer.
Liverpool drop major Salah, Van Dijk transfer hints in new kit launch
Liverpool have dropped a major hint over the futures of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk in the launch of their new home kit for the 2024-25 campaign.
On Thursday morning, the Reds unveiled their new jersey inspired by the 1983-94 team, who became the first top-flight English side to win three trophies in one campaign.
The red shirt with a yellow chrome pattern and iconic collar pays homage to Joe Fagan's men, who clinched the First Division title, beat Everton in the EFL Cup final replay and bested Roma on penalties in the European Cup final.
A selection of prominent men's and women's players modelled the 2024-25 shirts for the Liverpool website, including two star names whose Anfield futures have been called into question in recent weeks.
