With pre-season well underway, football managers, agents, and executives are frantically working to secure their targets and finetune their squad with the return of domestic football less than one month away.
After coming within touching distance of a first Premier League title in nearly two decades last season, Arsenal have wasted no time in working to strengthen the squad that spent 248 days at the top of the league before ultimately missing out on success last term.
A delay in announcing the capture of Declan Rice started to put some level of trepidation in the hearts of Gunners fans, but on Saturday Mikel Arteta got his man, with the deal getting over the line for a club-record £105m.
But Rice isn’t the only England star that could be on the move this summer. After finding himself on the fringes at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag, Harry Maguire has been offered a lifeline in the form of a move to West Ham.
Meanwhile, despite recent interest from PSG, Bayern Munich appear evermore confident of securing Harry Kane’s signature this summer before the window slams shut.
As the transfer market continues to heat up, Mail Sport has you covered with all Sunday’s latest news and gossip.
