    JEAN-MICHAEL SERI

    Arsenal remain in the hunt to sign for the highly-rated Nice midfielder, according to L’Equipe.

    The 26-year-old’s release clause is considered to be around £33m (Dh173.2m), but the price could be well worth it for the Gunners to replenish their midfield this summer, especially after only winning just seven Premier League games in 2018.

    Seri also attracted the attention of Barcelona, Chelsea and Man United last year, but the North London side appear to be in pole position to sign the Ivory Coast international.

    MAURICIO POCHETTINO

    Chelsea are considering moving for the Tottenham manager if Antonio Conte leaves the club this summer, according to Sky Sports.

    Although the Blues failed to seal Champions League football for 2018-19, they have identified the Argentine as the man to guide the club in the right direction going forward.

    Spurs have finished in the top four in the Premier League for a third successive season under Pochettino, while operating on a tighter budget than Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

    WILFRIED ZAHA

    Manchester City are preparing to launch a fresh bid for the Crystal Palace ace, according to The Mirror. The Sky Blues remain interested in the Ivory Coast forward and are confident of landing the 25-year-old during the summer transfer window. Despite the stunning form of Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, City boss Pep Guardiola is lining up this latest push to strengthen his attacking options. Zaha will cost in excess of £50m and although his contract runs until 2022, Palace are determined to hold on to him.
