Sports Mole rounds up some of the latest transfer rumours, including Lazio being keen on Emerson Palmieri and Watford holding an interest in Manchester United youngster Ethan Laird.

Lazio are reportedly interested in securing a deal for Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri.

The full-back spent the 2021-22 campaign out on loan at Lyon, making a total of 36 appearances in all competitions, but the Italy international has featured in a number of Chelsea's pre-season friendlies.

Nevertheless, according to Calciomercato, Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri is keen to be reunited with a player who he worked with during his time at Stamford Bridge.

The report claims that a season-long loan deal could be a possibility with Lazio possessing the option to sign the 27-year-old for a fee in the region of £8m.

Palmieri, who has previously represented Lazio's fierce rivals Roma, has two years remaining on his contract at the Premier League club.

Watford have reportedly emerged as the latest club to take a look at Manchester United defender Ethan Laird.

At one stage this summer, Ajax were linked with the academy graduate, who has made two appearances for the United first team in European competition.

However, according to The Athletic, Watford appear to be a more likely destination with regular game time the priority for the 20-year-old.

While the full-back spent separate temporary stays at Swansea City and Bournemouth during 2021-22, he only made six outings for the latter in the second half of the campaign.

Laird made a positive impression during United's recent tour of Thailand and Australia, keeping him in the thinking of Erik ten Hag.

Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey continues to attract interest from a wide range of clubs after his release from Juventus.

Although the Wales international was deemed surplus to requirements in Turin, the playmaker has opportunities to join other notable European clubs should he so wish.

Nevertheless, according to the Daily Mail, a number of MLS teams are said to be weighing up the possibility of signing the 31-year-old.

The report claims that several sides view Ramsey as a player with the kind of profile who they would like to be the face of their club.

Monza, who has been promoted to Serie A, are also said to be contemplating an official bid for the former Arsenal man.

Staying on the theme of Italy, a number of Championship clubs are said to be weighing up whether to move for Fiorentina defender Jacob Rasmussen.

Although the 25-year-old has been contracted to Viola since 2019, he is yet to make a first-team appearance, spending the last two seasons on loan at Vitesse.

According to Football Insider, Norwich City, Queens Park Rangers and Swansea City could look to sign the former Denmark Under-21 international.

However, it has been claimed elsewhere that Feyenoord may attempt to keep Rasmussen in the Eredivisie for another season.
