    WILLIAN

    Manchester United are ready to launch a move for the elusive Chelsea attacker, as Anthony Martial continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

    According to the Express, Jose Mourinho is a keen admirer of the Brazilian and wants to sign him this summer.

    While the Blues refused to sell, Willian’s future hangs in the balance and he is said to be open to a move away from West London.

    The 29-year-old has made over 200 appearances since moving to Stamford Bridge in 2013, scoring six goals and providing seven assists this season.

    CAGLAR SOYUNCU

    Arsenal are pushing ahead with a move for the highly-rated Freiburg defender, according to the Telegraph.

    The Gunners are currently without a manager after Arsene Wenger left the club, but are still determined to secure a deal for the 21-year-old.

    Soyuncu was a regular for the Bundesliga side this term, making 32 appearances in all competitions.

    A number of Premier League clubs are said to be interested in the Turkish international but the North London side are in pole position to acquire his services.

    MATTHIJS DE LIGT

    Tottenham are lining up a £50m (Dh 248.5m) bid for the Ajax star, reports the Daily Mail.

    The 18-year-old is considered one of the best defensive prospects in world football – and has attracted interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

    But Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is expected to use the money raised by the expected sale of Toby Alderweireld to bring in the youngster.

    Barcelona are believed to be hot favourites to land his signature, but Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City have been all been linked with the Dutchman.
