Despite Jose Mourinho claiming that Manchester United will sign four players before the new season, their summer spending spree is set to continue beyond Paul Pogba according to the Times. The Portuguese manager wants to add another central-defender to his squad, with 26-year-old Chris Smalling currently the Red Devils’ most experienced in the role.
New Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is confident his club can re-sign Romelu Lukaku says the Express. After an opening bid was denied, the Blues are set to offer Everton a fee of around £60 million in order to have the striker return to Stamford Bridge.
In more news from Chelsea, fullback Baba Rahman is set to join German club Schalke on a season-long loan in the coming days. The Evening Standard is reporting the news, after the 22-year-old failed to establish himself as a starting XI regular during his first season in London.
As Arsenal’s move for Alexandre Lacazette comes to a crossroads, Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi is now being linked with a move to the Emirates this summer. ESPN claims that the Gunners will offer £50 million if they are unable to strike a deal for French forward Lacazette.
