Everton are set to complete another signing in the next 24 hours according to the Daily Mirror. Their report speculates that the Crystal Palace winger is set to link up with the Toffees in a £25 million deal, earning himself £90,000 per week in the process.

In possibly the best news for Leicester City fans this summer, Riyad Mahrez has accepted he will not be leaving the club this summer according to the Guardian. The 25-year-old Algerian has been linked with a big-money move to Premier League rivals Arsenal throughout the transfer window.

Manchester United are set to allow winger Adnan Januzaj to join former manager David Moyes on loan for the upcoming season. However, the move will be unable to be made permanent at the end of the loan spell, Goal reports.

Tottenham’s move for Marseille winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou could be on the brink of collapse according to reports from the Guardian. It claims the possible deal for the 21-year-old could be off as a result over a disagreement of the way the £11 million fee would be paid.

Leicester City are set to face competition from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid if they are to complete the signing of Gabriel Barbosa this summer. Mundo Deportivo is claiming that Atletico have launched a £17.2 million bid for the 19-year-old who is touted as one of the brightest prospects in Brazillian football.

Manchester City defender Jason Denayer could make a permanent move to Turkish club Galatasaray this month, reports the Manchester Evening News.  The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at the club, and feels a move away from the Etihad could offer him more first team opportunities.

Another striker is being linked to Crystal Palace this summer, with the Liverpool Echo reporting Oumar Niasse has been offered to the Eagles by Everton. After joining the Toffees in January, the Senegalese international made just five appearances, failing to get on the scoresheet.

Southampton have suffered a blow in their pursuit of young Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Marko Rog, having seen a £6.8 million bid rejected according to the Daily Star. Despite their initial bid being turned down, it is thought the Saints will lodge an improved offer for the Croatian.
