Supposedly Brentford’s Ivan Toney is being eyed by Newcastle, West Ham and Leeds, not to mention Manchester United who are keeping a mere half an eye on the striker. He scored 12 goals in the Premier League last season which has enticed a few clubs who are looking for a reliable striker.
Jack Harrison is another wanted by moneybags Newcastle but Leeds will demand £35m for the winger, which would put off most teams. It could be good news for Manchester City who would pocket a few quid thanks to a sell-on clause.

Not happy with just signing Kalidou Koulibaly, Chelsea are after another centre-back in the form of PSG’s Presnel Kimpembe who could cost a whopping £55m.

Sevilla could be about to pay the big money for Blackburn’s Chilean striker Ben Brereton Díaz who would cost in the region of £20m.
