Kieran Trippier
Manchester United are lining up another major signing this summer.
All that effort for another top four finish and maybe - at a push - a Carabao Cup semi-final.
Kieran Trippier is prepared to sit tight over the coming weeks as Manchester United try to raise funds through player sales before making a move for him. The England full-back is keen on the move. (Source: Telegraph)

Granit Xhaka
Xhaka was one of the few consistent performers for Arsenal last season. He also enjoyed a great Euros campaign with Switzerland.
After all the rumours surrounding Xhaka and a move to Roma, he might end up staying at Arsenal after all. 🤷♂️

Arsene Wenger
Arsene Wenger was the ultimate wheeler dealer!
🗣Jamie Carragher on Arsene Wenger: “We [Liverpool] signed Emile Heskey for £11 million, Wenger signed Henry for £11m. We signed Nick Barmby for £6m, #Arsenal signed Robert Pires for £6m. Wenger was a genius in the transfer market." pic.twitter.com/jMU3TvB03E

Never gonna happen
That's a Haaland teaser if there ever was one!
It's probably the closest they'll get to signing the star striker.
