Today's key events
Arsenal defender admits he will likely leave club this summer
An out-of-favour Arsenal defender has admitted that there is a strong chance he will leave the club during the summer transfer window.
Scotland left-back Kieran Tierney quickly made himself a fan favourite at the Emirates upon his arrival from Celtic in 2019, even if injuries did hamper his early months at the club.
Fitness concerns have continued to bedevil the 26-year-old, but he proved himself as a crucial player to Arsenal when fit, scoring five goals and setting up 13 more in 124 games in all tournaments.
However, Tierney was demoted to second-choice left-back in the summer of 2022 due to the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko, who was better equipped to adapt to Mikel Arteta's desire for an inverted left-back.
Klopp comments on Nunez future amid Barcelona links
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp responded defiantly when asked whether Barcelona-linked striker Darwin Nunez could leave the club in the upcoming transfer window.
The former Benfica striker has been a stalwart of the Reds' XI throughout the 2023-24 season with 52 appearances to his name, coming up with 18 goals and 13 assists in that time.
Despite his respectable output and ability to bring an air of unpredictability to Liverpool's attacks, Nunez has been lambasted for his well-documented wastefulness and low big-chance conversion rate.
The 24-year-old has only made the first XI in one of Liverpool's last four Premier League matches, and he missed a gilt-edged chance to score as a substitute in last weekend's 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal suffer blow in pursuit of Newcastle United duo
Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has insisted that the club do not want to sell Alexander Isak or Bruno Guimaraes, amid interest from Arsenal in the duo.
Sweden international Isak has kicked on during his second campaign in the Premier League, scoring 20 times in just 27 top-flight appearances for the Magpies.
The 24-year-old is only trailing Manchester City's Erling Haaland (25) and Chelsea's Cole Palmer (21) in the race for the division's Golden Boot.
Providing 12 goal contributions from the engine room, Guimaraes has also continued to be a talismanic figure for Europe-chasing Newcastle this term.
Arsenal 'eyeing England international as Ramsdale replacement'
Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford as a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale.
The 30-year-old has been the first-choice goalkeeper for the Toffees since securing a high-profile switch from his boyhood club Sunderland during the summer of 2017.
Pickford has certainly paid back his £30m transfer fee, featuring in 277 matches for Everton across all competitions, helping keep the club in the Premier League during a difficult period financially.
The shot-stopper has excelled in the top flight this term under Sean Dyche, managing 12 clean sheets in 36 Premier League contests for the Merseyside outfit.
Tottenham 25-year-old 'already looking for new club'
Tottenham Hotspur's Emerson Royal is reportedly set to leave the club in the summer, with the defender already looking for new employers.
The 25-year-old has played a bit-part role under the stewardship of Ange Postecoglou this season, with the Australian aiming to transform the Lilywhites' fortunes on the pitch.
Royal has featured in 21 Premier League matches - starting just 11 of those - finding the net on just the single occasion, during a draw with Brentford back in August.
Since making the permanent switch from La Liga giants Barcelona to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer of 2021, the full-back has appeared exactly 100 times in a competitive sense for Spurs.
Crystal Palace confirm three first-team contract extensions and two departures
Crystal Palace have confirmed that Will Hughes, Jeffrey Schlupp and Joel Ward have all extended their contracts with the club.
The Eagles trio, who have made a combined 672 appearances between them (Hughes 82, Schlupp 230 and Ward 360), have all extended their deals until the summer of 2025.
All three players have served as core members of the first-team squad and remain in the plans of new manager Oliver Glasner, who replaced Roy Hodgson in mid-February.
Captain Ward has been at Palace since 2012 and the 34-year-old has featured regularly as either a right-back or right-sided centre-back this season, making 25 Premier League appearances.
Sean Dyche provides update on defender's future at Everton
Sean Dyche has said that the "mindset" of Everton captain Seamus Coleman "is to keep playing" next season ahead of Saturday's final home fixture of the current campaign against Sheffield United.
Coleman joined Everton back in 2009 for just £60,000 from Irish club Sligo Rovers and has since made a total of 420 appearances for the Toffees across all competitions.
The 35-year-old has suffered with several injuries during the latter stages of his career and has been reduced to just 10 Premier League outings this term, including only five starts.
Coleman has earned legendary status at Goodison Park, but his long-term future at the club remains uncertain as he is due to see his contract expire at the end of the season.
'They're every kid's dream team' - Sullivan comments on future Man City move
Cavan Sullivan has confirmed that there is an agreement between his current club Philadelphia Union and Manchester City over a future transfer to the Etihad Stadium.
Philadelphia announced on Thursday that 14-year-old Sullivan has signed the largest homegrown contract in Major League Soccer history.
Sullivan, who joined Philadelphia's academy at the age of 10, now becomes the club's youngest ever player to be added to the first team roster as well as the fifth youngest player to sign a first-team contract in MLS history.
Although the financial details have not been disclosed, Sullivan's record deal runs until 2028 and it has widely been reported that Philadelphia have formed a partnership with Pep Guardiola's Man City, allowing the youngster to make a move to England in four years' time.
PSG drop major Kylian Mbappe future hint in new kit launch
Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain have dropped potentially the biggest hint yet that Kylian Mbappe will not be at the club next season.
The former Monaco starlet has now entered the last two months of his contract with Les Parisiens, and he is expected to depart for Real Madrid on a free transfer during the summer transfer window.
Neither PSG nor Los Blancos have officially confirmed Mbappe's decision, and the France international is also yet to make a public announcement, but the signs have been there for a few months now.
In February, Mbappe apparently told PSG that he would be leaving the club when his deal expires at the end of the season, and he has often been omitted from the starting XI or substituted early by head coach Luis Enrique ever since.
Barcelona 'planning 17-player summer exodus in summer'
Barcelona are reportedly open to parting ways with as many as 17 players during the summer.
The Catalan giants have endured a disappointing campaign during 2023-24, failing to defend their La Liga title and currently sitting below second-placed Girona in the standings.
Furthermore, Xavi's side suffered a quarter-final exit to Paris Saint-German in the Champions League, and they will end the campaign trophyless.
Although Barcelona have been boosted by Xavi reversing his decision to depart Camp Nou, the club's hierarchy are under pressure to substantially reduce their wage bill and generate funds ahead of next season.
Man City 'set defender asking price amid Leverkusen, Juventus interest'
Manchester City have reportedly reached a decision over an asking price for defender Yan Couto.
Pep Guardiola's side are currently focused on trying to end the season with another Premier League crown and FA Cup trophy to their name.
However, there is expected to be transfer activity during the summer as the Spaniard bids to freshen up his squad.
Reports have already indicated that Girona winger Savio - on loan from Troyes - will be completing a transfer to the Etihad Stadium, City able to benefit from their multi-club model.
Brentford midfielder 'set to sign new contract in coming weeks'
Brentford midfielder Josh Dasilva is reportedly set to sign a new contract to extend his six-year stay with the Bees.
Dasilva has made 157 competitive appearances since joining the West London club from Arsenal in the summer of 2018.
The Arsenal academy product featured in 36 Premier League matches last season to help Brentford achieve a top-half finish.
Unfortunately for Dasilva, he spent the majority of the current campaign on the sidelines after suffering hamstring and ankle issues, before he was forced to undergo knee surgery in February.
