Today’s biggest transfer stories

Christian Pulisic is reportedly on Liverpool’s shortlist as they consider options for a new winger this summer. Yan Diomande was their priority target but the Ivory Coast international prefers a move to PSG and AC Milan star Pulisic is a potential alternative.

Tottenham are on the verge of completing a deal to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United. It’s understood Spurs will pay around €98m for the midfielder, which will smash their transfer record. Manchester United were also interested but Spurs have won the race.

Chelsea’s dream signing this summer is Bournemouth attacker Junior Kroupi. The 19-year-old was a revelation for the Cherries in his maiden Premier League season with his price tag around €100m.
