Transfer rumours Lacazette

Lyon want to re-sign France forward Alexandre Lacazette, 31, on a free transfer – five years after selling him to Arsenal for £46.5m.

Arsenal are also keen to sign Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans, 25, who will leave Leicester City this summer.

Manchester United are to be presented with an opportunity to sign Real Madrid’s Spain winger Marco Asensio, 26.

Barcelona are set to turn their attention to Chelsea’s Belgium forward Romelu Lukaku, 29, if they cannot sign first-choice target Robert Lewandowski, the 33-year-old Poland forward who is set to leave Bayern Munich.

Manchester City’s Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus, 25, and Ukraine defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, 25, could both leave this summer, while England winger Raheem Sterling, 27, would only consider joining another elite club.

Arsenal have made Jesus their main target although they face competition from Juventus for the former Palmeiras player.

Brentford have offered Denmark playmaker Christian Eriksen a long-term contract and are waiting for a response from the 30-year-old, who was on loan with them from January until the end of the season.

France midfielder Paul Pogba, who will leave Manchester United when his contract runs out at the end of this month, is close to returning to Juventus – and the 29-year-old is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Italian club.

Netherlands defender Nathan Ake, 27, has also been told he can leave Manchester City and that could pave the way for a move to Newcastle.

Dutch defender Sven Botman, 22, wants to leave Lille this summer and says AC Milan and Newcastle are interested in signing him.

Transfer rumours Lacazette

Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign West Ham’s Czech Republic midfielder Tomas Soucek, with talks over a new contract for the 27-year-old having stalled.

Roma would be interested in signing England midfielder Jesse Lingard, 29, when his Manchester United contract expires this summer, but West Ham and Everton remain potential suitors.
