Eddie Howe looks far from done in the window this summer though, with the Daily Star reporting Bournemouth is hoping for a £15 million QPR double-swoop. Claims are the South Coast side want to bring in defensive pair Steven Caulker and Nedum Onuoha, after losing two senior members of the backline in Sylvain Distin (released) and Tommy Elphick (Aston Villa).
In another Liverpool player move, the club has announced Martin Skrtel will join Turkish side Fenerbahce. The Slovakian international made 320 appearances for the Merseysiders, scoring 18 goals in the process after linking up with the Reds back in 2008 from Zenit St Petersburg.

The blue half of Merseyside is also at risk of losing players this summer, with the Liverpool Echo suggesting that Stoke have enquired about midfielder James McCarthy. The 25-year-old has formed a key part of the Toffees’ lineup since joining from Wigan Athletic back in 2013 for £13 million.
Leicester City are hoping to secure Burnley defender Michael Keane in the coming weeks, preparing to launch a third and final bid according to Metro. The offer is rumoured to be around £15 million for the former Manchester United product who played a key role in helping the Clarets gain promotion to the Premier League last season.
Despite rumours linking their players with moves away from the Turf Moor, Burnley are still looking to add depth to their squad for 2016-17, with the Guardian linking them with a move for Crystal Palace’s Lee Chung-yong. The South Korean midfielder joined the Eagles back in 2015, but has failed to establish himself as a first team regular and has made only 20 appearances.
Manchester City’s name keeps appearing in the world of transfers and if the Daily Mail is to be believed, the club is interested in signing Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich. Pep Guardiola is said to see the 21-year-old as a replacement for Pablo Zabaleta at right-back, after impressive performances for Germany at the recent European Championships.
Joel Campbell may need to look for a new employer, with Bleacher Report claiming that manager Arsene Wenger has told the winger he has no future at Arsenal. Spanish side Valencia have shown an interest in bringing the Costa Rica international to La Liga.
Stoke City could be set to lose star Xherdan Shaqiri this summer, with the Stoke Sentinel linking German giants Borussia Dortmund with a move for the winger. Dortmund are on the lookout for a replacement speedster following Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s move to Manchester United earlier in the window.
