The end of the Premier League season is just around the corner, which means it will not be long until the summer transfer window opens for business. Clubs up and down the country will be finalising their recruitment plans for what promises to be another summer full of gossip and plenty of exciting deals.
Liverpool are expected to be active players in the market as incoming boss Arne Slot prepares to take over from Jurgen Klopp. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be hoping for another productive summer window after signing the likes of Declan Rice, David Raya and Kai Havertz last time around.
Manchester United have also been tipped to spend heavily, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe targeting some high-quality additions to lift the Red Devils out of their current rut. It could be a similar story at Chelsea, who have splashed more cash on players than any other Premier League club in the last few seasons.

Luis Diaz opens up on Liverpool future
Luis Diaz has insisted that he is perfectly happy at Liverpool amid speculation linking him with a summer move away from Anfield.
He said: “The truth is that I am very happy to be here. Great years are coming for the club, I have no doubt about that.
“I will always try to do my best, always try to give 100 per cent, to always stand out on the field, which is what I came [here] to do. I’m always grateful to God for every opportunity.
“It’s no secret, we didn’t finish as well as we hoped. For us, it was crucial to win the league and all the competitions we were in.
“Unfortunately, the results lately could not be achieved. We fell [behind] as a team, but we made a decent season, both individually and as a group.
“There are many things to improve so we can have a perfect season, but I’m happy and content to be here.”
Bayern Munich weigh up Adam Wharton move

Man Utd tipped to sign their own Cole Palmer
Michael Olise could have a similar impact to Cole Palmer at Chelsea if he joins Manchester United in the summer, according to former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Robinson said: “Without a doubt, I can see him fit in. He would go straight into the Manchester United team.
“The way that Cole Palmer has left and gone to Chelsea, somebody like that would go straight into a Manchester United side.
“For him, if he is to go, he has to go somewhere and he has to play.”
Frenkie de Jong giving Barcelona the silent treatment
Frenkie de Jong has not responded to Barcelona’s latest contract offer as speculation over his future ramps up.
According to the print edition of Sport, he was offered a new deal on reduced terms but has remained silent, declining to accept or reject the proposal.
Manchester United tried to sign De Jong two years ago and have been tipped to reignite their interest in a move ahead of next season.
If he fails to agree a new deal at Barcelona, he will reportedly be put up for sale with Bayern Munich also said to be keen on his signature.

Man Utd make decision on Mason Greenwood swap deal
Manchester United are reluctant to accept a swap offer from Barcelona for the services of Mason Greenwood, according to HITC.

The Catalan giants have been tipped to make a player-plus-cash offer for Greenwood but United would reportedly prefer to negotiate a straight sale.
Arsenal chief Edu planning to sell seven players
Arsenal director Edu is willing to listen to offers for seven first-team players when the bidding opens next month.
That’s according to The Mirror, who are reporting that Arsenal are looking to supplement their transfer budget with a handful of notable departures.
Bids will be considered for Aaron Ramsdale, Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe, Kieran Tierney, Nuno Tavares, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Reiss Nelson.
Cedric Soares, Mohamed Elneny and Arthur Okonkwo will also leave the Emirates Stadium when their contracts expire in June.
Liverpool linked with surprise Anthony Gordon move
Liverpool are weighing up a surprise move for Newcastle winger and former Everton starlet Anthony Gordon, according to the Daily Star.
The Reds have reportedly added Gordon to their list of targets as they prepare for life without Jurgen Klopp next season.
Any move will certainly not come cheap, though, with Newcastle said to be demanding at least £100m to part ways with Gordon.
The 23-year-old, who came through Everton’s academy, was said to have been a Liverpool fan growing up.
