As the Premier League season approaches its climax, the transfer market is buzzing with activity involving some of the biggest clubs.
Here's a roundup of the latest transfer rumours and news from Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, and other Premier League clubs.
Liverpool want Kudus?
Liverpool are reportedly set to make a bold move by triggering the £85 million release clause of West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus, according to a new report from Ghanasoccernet.
This significant investment highlights Liverpool's intent to bolster their attacking options next season in a world post-Jurgen Klopp.
Additionally, the Reds are apparently eyeing Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, who is reportedly valued at nearly £100 million by the Magpies (via the Daily Star), indicating a potentially huge summer spending spree at Anfield.
Manchester United in for Frenkie de Jong?
Manchester United are in the headlines with an apparent strategic swap deal proposition involving Bruno Fernandes and Barcelona's midfielder Frenkie de Jong, according to El Nacional in Spain.
This swap is part of a broader strategy by United's manager Erik ten Hag to reshape the midfield.
Additionally, United's interest in Vitor Roque could lead to further dealings with Barcelona, potentially facilitating the transfer of Mason Greenwood (via HITC).
Arsenal and Spurs jostling for Barcelona ace?
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been presented with an opportunity to sign Barcelona winger Raphinha for around £50 million (via TBR Football).
This comes as Barcelona apparently looks to offload the Brazilian international. Both clubs are assessing the winger's fit into their squads as they look to strengthen for the next campaign.
