TRENDING RUMORS

– Chelsea are “red hot favorites” to sign Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap this summer ahead of a host of Premier League rivals, the Daily Mirror has revealed. The 22-year-old is also wanted by Manchester United, Everton, and West Ham United, but Chelsea hold a key trump card that could see them win the race for his signature. Club manager Enzo Maresca previously worked with Delap at Manchester City’s academy, a link which may ultimately decide where the England Under-21 international chooses to play next season. Delap has a £30 million release clause in his contract that becomes valid this summer if Ipswich are relegated.

– Tottenham could rival Arsenal for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman this summer, reports TEAMtalk. The France international has largely been used as a substitute this season by Vincent Kompany and now looks set to leave the Bavarians after an eight-year stay. Arsenal are long-term admirers of Coman, although Spurs could enter the race to sign him once Timo Werner leaves the club. Southampton’s Tyler Diblingwho has a £100m valuation following a breakout Premier League campaign, is also on their winger shortlist.

– It has been reported for a while that Juventus are interested in Manchester United forward Rasmus Højlundbut Transfer market claims that the club could offer Dusan Vlahovic in return. Højlund, 21, could move back to Serie A just two years after signing for £64m from Atalanta, having scored only 13 goals in the Premier League, and Vlahovic would be an able replacement. Both clubs value their strikers at around £60m, so it could work for both parties.

– RB Leipzig are willing to let striker Benjamin Sesko leave the club this summer, but only for €95m, says Bild. Sesko, 21, has seen interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal as he has scored 11 goals in 28 Bundesliga games this season, and penned a new contract last year to remove a €65m release clause. The Slovenia international signed from FC Salzburg for €24m in 2023, so Leipzig are looking to make a major profit on the deal.

– Chelsea’s Moses Caicedo is a summer target for Saudi club Al Nassr, according to The Telegraph. The 23-year-old is said to be a “dream” option for them, who would be willing to pay a club-record transfer fee to sign him. The Ecuador international’s transfer cost Chelsea an initial £100m when he joined the West London club in 2023, and given the six years left on his contract, the Blues would be unwilling to let him go for anything less.
