It seems like the gloves are off for a goalkeeper-heavy transfer window. Man Utd are moving first to tie down their number one David de Gea to a new five-year deal, ending persistent talk of a move to Real Madrid. The Manchester Evening News report that terms have been agreed and the Spain keeper, fresh from last night’s dramatic 3-3 draw with Portugal, will commit his future to Old Trafford. But that is only one domino in the chain… and Real Madrid are still widely reckoned to be chasing a keeper this summer. Roma are worried that they will turn to their own Brazil star Alisson Becker… who is also apparently wanted by Liverpool. Premium Sport claims that will mean they turn their attention to Bayer Leverkusen’s Bernd Leno, which would be bad news for Arsenal… who are supposedly in talks to sign him for £22m.

Transfer talk is continuing to build, even more so with the window opening on Thursday. Clubs are being linked to hosts of players and here we bring you some of the latest news and gossip. PREMIER LEAGUE Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho could be a very busy man in the coming days and not just because of the FA Cup final.
