The January transfer window is now little more than a distant memory in European football and as such clubs across the continent are already making plans for the summer window. Teams are working tirelessly behind the scenes on identifying targets and figuring out their budgets.

Managers will be constantly assessing their squads with sporting directors and recruitment staff scanning the market for potential deals. A plethora of players will become available in the summer where clubs famously have more money to spend and aren’t as restricted by financial fair play rules. The rumour mill is beginning to pick up pace and we’ve collated some of the biggest current transfer stories. 

Today’s biggest transfer stories 

Reports in Italy suggest Arsenal are interested in signing Fiorentina’s Italian striker Moise Kean. The 25 year old previously had an unsuccessful spell at Everton, but has bene on fire in Serie A this season.

Lille and England midfielder Angel Gomes has reportedly rejected an approach by West Ham, despite the Premier League club offering him a £100,000-a-week (€120,000-a-week) contract to join when his contract expires this summer

Meanwhile, Manchester United are also reportedly still interested in RB Leipzig and Netherlands midfielder Xavi Simons, who was a target before he moved to Germany on a permanent deal in January.
