Man Utd's 'sensational' two player £100m swap deal as Liverpool offer €70m for 'bomb of the summer'

These are your latest transfer rumours from the Premier League and around the world.

Man Utd's 'sensational' swap deal offer

Manchester United are said to be readying a "sensational" players-plus-cash offer for West Ham United's Declan Rice.

Arsenal and Manchester City have been the frontrunners for the Hammers' skipper - with the Gunners long considered the favourites for his signature.

But with City gatecrashing the chase, the race is now wide open and United have made their intentions clear, according to Football Insider, by offering the east London club £45million plus two United players - one of whom is Harry Maguire.

The same publication labels it a "sensational" offer and one which might appeal to the Hammers, who have coveted Maguire and are in need of a centre-back.

West Ham have slapped a £100million fee on Rice's head and have rejected two bids from the Gunners so far - the last being a £75million offer with £15million in add-ons.

Liverpool to offer €70m in 'bomb of summer'

Next up is Liverpool's bid to completely reshape their midfield for next season.

Jurgen Klopp's side fell well short of their standards last term and with Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain now gone from Anfield, the German is on a mission to bring in fresh legs.

Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch and Nice’s Khephren Thuram have been the names on everyone's lips on the red half of Merseyside but reports from Spain have added the name of Real Madrid's Federico Valverde to the mix, with Nacional stating the Reds are willing to front up a €70million offer for the star.

The arrival of Jude Bellingham at Los Blancos has pushed him further down the pecking order and the same publication state he can become the "bomb of the summer" with his "surprise" move from the Bernabeu. Klopp is described as being "in love with Valverde’s virtues".

Arsenal close in on Havertz

Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has said Arsenal will announce the signing of Kai Havertz this week.

The Chelsea attacker is intent of moving across London, with the Blues shipping out a load of talent to balance their bloated squad.

A £65million deal is in place and a medical was said to have taken place over the weekend, with the move now almost done.

When asked if a deal would be official this week, the Sky man said: "That's the direction of travel. I think the medical was happening over the weekend abroad. We think it might have been in Spain just to fit in with the player's schedule. I think Arsenal went to him, so we think that that medical will have been completed or close to being completed over the weekend and today.

"Personal terms are not expected to be a problem at all. He'll sign a long-term contract at Arsenal. A formal announcement on that £65m deal will be coming in the coming days, you would expect, so Kai Havertz is very close to swapping Chelsea for Arsenal."

Midfielder to leave Chelsea

Sticking with the Blues and another player is set to seal an exit from Stamford Bridge this summer.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to Calcio Mercato, will become an AC Milan player in a €15million move. Loftus-Cheek had been "pushing for a new adventure", state the publication (via SportWitness) and his arrival at the San Siro is now said to be close.

The midfielder has spent a decade in west London but has never been able to nail down a starting spot. Should the deal be concluded, he will join former Blues team-mate Fikayo Tomori in Milian.
