  • The summer transfer window for Premier League clubs is open while international deals can be completed from early next month.

    That has started a frenzy of speculation as players and coaches look for their next moves.

    MARIO MANDZUKIC

    The powerful Croatian is available for a move this summer after Juventus told the forward he can leave, according to the Daily Mail.

    At 32, the frontman – who netted just five Serie A goals for the Old Lady in their title-winning season – could potentially have one last big move in him and has yet to ply his trade in the Premier League.

    That has alerted Manchester United to his signature, given the World Cup-bound forward is capable of having a positive effect on the squad akin to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

    The Red Devils are also in the running to sign West Ham star Marko Arnautovic, but could value the experience of the former Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid man more highly.

    Experienced: Mandzukic has won three consecutive Serie A titles with Juventus.

    BADOU NDIAYE

    The Gunners are the latest Premier League club who are ready to raid relegated Stoke in the close season.

    According to Senegalese news outlet Galsenfoot, the African star is attracting interest from Arsenal, Besiktas and West Ham.

    With Championship football on the horizon, the Potters are resigned to losing many of their big-name performers and 27-year-old Ndiaye was one of the brightest lights in a gloomy campaign.

    Unai Emery is likely to ring the changes in midfield, with Jack Wilshere set to depart and Granit Xhaka’s future looking uncertain.

    Ndiaye will be a fixture in his national team’s line-up in Russia.
