Zirkzee battle

Arsenal continue to be linked with a move for Bologna star Joshua Zirkzee. According to Calciomercato, AC Milan are pushing to land the 22-year-old Dutchman, but they see the Gunners as their biggest obstacle.

Mikel Arteta and Edu are said to be ‘serious’ about pulling off a deal, requiring another goal threat at the top end of the pitch, while AC Milan need to replace Olivier Giroud. Zirkzee is said to have an asking price of around £60million, so it will be interesting to see who is willing to stump up the moment.

Sancho decision

Manchester United star Jadon Sancho may have a big decision to make this summer. Currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund and preparing for a Champions League final, it’s unclear whether Sancho has a future at Old Trafford. A stay at Dortmund seems more probable, but United are said to be asking for around £55million, which is £20million more than Dortmund’s record transfer.

On top of that, Sancho earns around £275,000-per-week, and Dortmund are not going to pay anywhere near that amount. That means a stay at Signal Iduna Park would mean a significant pay cut for the winger.

Liverpool business

Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has issued his verdict on Liverpool’s potential transfer business this summer. The Reds need to upgrade their squad while also entering a new chapter with a new manager.

"I think Liverpool with regard to their squad and the number of youngsters that have been blooded during the season by Jurgen Klopp is only going to help the new manager Arne Slot when he does come in,” Sheth told GiveMeSport. "But looking at it from the outset, I think centre-back will be a huge priority for Liverpool going forward in the summer transfer window."
