Plus, Chelsea face a revolt at sister club Strasbourg and Real Madrid are plotting a sensational move for Liverpool superstar Trent Alexander-Arnold. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Exclusive: Man Utd want Gomes

FootballTransfers can exclusively reveal that Man Utd are interested in Joao Gomes but that Wolves will not entertain bids below £40 million.

Maybe that's a good thing for the Red Devils as Gomes' numbers look anything but impressive.

Instead of trying to sign Gomes, they should make their interest in Leicester's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall concrete.

Exclusive: Partey makes future decision.

FootballTransfers understands that Thomas Partey wants to stay at Arsenal but if he were to be forced out, he would favour a move back to LaLiga.

Chelsea's Strasbourg drama

Chelsea's relationship with Strasbourg has become more strained in light of the news that Blues loanee Angelo Gabriel - the French club's only right-winger - could be out for the season.

Real want Trent

Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract situation at Liverpool. The right-back is only tied down until next year.

Here's how Los Blancos would line up with the England star.

Managerial merry-go-round

England boss Gareth Southgate has addressed the sensational links to Man Utd.

Xabi Alonso, meanwhile, could snub Liverpool and Bayern to replace Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid in the future.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Arsenal and Man Utd target Jeremie Frimpong has already 'agreed' a transfer.

Dayot Upamecano could move to the Premier League this summer, but what is his best option?

Speaking of Bayern defenders, there has been a new twist in the futures of Matthijs de Ligt and Kim Min-jae.

Leny Yoro continues to be in the news and his future is anything but set in stone at this stage.

Kylian Mbappe's arrival will create chaos at Real Madrid, according to Barcelona president Joan Laporta.

At PSG, Luis Enrique already knows his Mbappe replacement, but unfortunately for the Spaniard, there's a catch.

Man Utd have received an encouraging update on Donyell Malen.

Liverpool are ready to sign Teun Koopmeiners after three years of interest.

Harry Maguire has claimed that Man Utd have the 'next Jude Bellingham' in their ranks.

But does his assertion hold up to scrutiny?

Lastly, Man Utd have been given an ideal opportunity to sign an alternative to Michael Olise.
