With pre-season well underway for Premier League clubs, so is their summer transfer business.
Due to Euro 2020 likely delaying some of the summer’s biggest moves, the top players are now free to sit down and discuss their futures.
Whether it be Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal, each club has plenty of reasons to keep the rumour mill turning.
Jadon Sancho, although not yet officially a Red Devil, is the biggest switch this summer so far but with Ben White, Jack Grealish and Harry Kane all potentially on the move, plenty more fellow English stars could soon join him on the move.
That is without mentioning the likes of Erling Haaland and Raphael Varane, who are both keenly admired by the English top-flight.
Here, Mirror Football gives you some of the latest transfer rumours from around the Premier League.
