Plus, Chelsea signed one of the world's biggest wonderkids and Man Utd are keen on one of the worst signings of the Todd Boehly era at Stamford Bridge. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Arsenal's Dutch boost

Arsenal have received major transfer boosts in pursuit of Joshua Zirkzee and Jorrel Hato.

Chelsea sign Estevao

Fabrizio Romano has delivered his 'here we go' on Chelsea signing 17-year-old Estevao from Palmeiras.

One of Chelsea's other young talents, meanwhile, could be heading to Strasbourg to solve a crisis caused by owners BlueCo.

Man Utd want Cucurella?

Man Utd are interested in Chelsea flop Marc Cucurella. Here's why this would be a terrible move.

Sesko stars

Benjamin Sesko's good end to the season has seen his release clause increase by 50%.

It is not hard to see why Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd are after him: he's a machine.

Bundesliga Team of the Season

Despite Sesko's good form, he did not make it into our Team of the Season. Find out who did here.

PSG's exits

Kylian Mbappe won't be the only major PSG exit this summer. Even a signing from last year could head for the door.

What next for De Zerbi?

Roberto de Zerbi will leave Brighton this summer, the club have surprisingly announced.

What next for the Italian? There are several options on the table.

Man Utd, however, may not be one of them after Sir Jim Ratcliffe's interesting comments on Erik ten Hag.

If they were to make a change, though, should they perhaps look at sacked Juventus boss Max Allegri over De Zerbi?

Graham Potter is being eyed by yet another European giant after rejecting Ajax.

Lille have set their price for Leny Yoro as PSG, Real Madrid and Man Utd circle.

Serie A giants Napoli have made contact with Man Utd over Mason Greenwood.

Lens' coach has admitted that he would love to have Raphael Varane back at the club.

Man Utd's transfer stance on Bruno Fernandes has been revealed.

Jadon Sancho could be set for an awkward reunion with Erik ten Hag.

Joan Laporta isn't the only one fuming with Barcelona coach Xavi - even the players are in revolt.

Chelsea have been very good since the winter - it is time to put some respect on Mauricio Pochettino's name.

Lastly, Chelsea have found a potential upgrade on Conor Gallagher - but there's a problem.
