Transfer news, rumours as they happened: Unai Emery set for Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and more

All the latest Premier League transfer news plus gossip, rumours and done deals

January transfer window 2018 shuts: Ten of the top moves

The Premier League’s summer transfer window is open with Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal set to be busier than ever.

For the first time in over two decades Arsenal will head into the off-season with a new manager at the helm. That man looks set to be Unai Emery, who has beaten Mikel Arteta to the job. At United Jose Mourinho looks set to spend big again as he targets reinforcements in his bid to haul in record-breaking Manchester City next season. A new left-back and central midfield player are high on his list.

Liverpool have enjoyed success in the Champions League this term and their quest to end their league title drought in 2019 will be bolstered by the arrival of Naby Keita from RB Leipzig – he will not be the last new face on Merseyside, however. Chelsea could well be looking for a new manager themselves with the future of Mauricio Pochettino across London at Tottenham Hotspur less certain than ever before.

We will have all the latest news, views, rumours, gossip and done deals right here so don’t touch that dial.

AC Milan are increasingly confident they can prize Marouane Fellaini away from Manchester United this summer as they look to snap him up on a free transfer.

The Belgian’s Old Trafford contract expires next month meaning he is free to enter into talks with any club – although he has not ruled out staying at United, with the club still expected to make an improved offer for him.

Milan are the other offer currently on the table for him and their sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli confirmed on Sunday that the Serie A side believe he will leave United.

Jurgen Klopp has identified Burnley's James Tarkowski and Newcastle United's Jamaal Lascelles as his summer centre-half targets, as he seeks to bolster his Liverpool squad for next season.

The Champions League finalists want to bring in three to four players in the close-season window - including a goalkeeper, likely Jack Butland, and another attacker - but centre-half is again a priority position.

Klopp and the Liverpool transfer committee feel Tarkowski and Lascelles both fit what they want, and the club will try to buy one.

West Ham United are closing in on the appointment of Manuel Pellegrini as their new manager.

Pellegrini is meeting the West Ham chairman David Sullivan today to discuss replacing David Moyes as manager, with Sullivan ready to pay a salary of £10m per year to land Pellegrini, making him one of the highest paid managers in the Premier League.

Pellegrini has been managing Hebei China Fortune for the last two years, since leaving Manchester City at the end of the 2015-16 season. During his three years at City, Pellegrini won the Premier League in 2013-14 season, a success to go with a strong track record earlier in his career.
