TRENDING RUMORS
- Manchester United's Rasmus Højlund is on West Ham's striker shortlist should they fail to make Evan Ferguson's loan permanent, TEAMtalk reports. The East London club are keen to bolster their attacking options, with question marks remaining over the long-term fitness of Michail Antonio and Niclas Füllkrug. As such, they could turn their attention to Højlund, who has failed to make the centre-forward position his own at Old Trafford since signing for £64m. According to the report, United would consider sanctioning the 22-year-old's exit if their £40m asking price is met.
- Liverpool have joined the race to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi this summer, according to Football Insider. The England international was the subject of strong interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea last month, with the former even lodging an official £70m bid. While Spurs' offer was rejected, it is widely expected that Guéhi will leave South London in the summer, although his eventual destination could end up being one of the talking points of the window. With his Palace contract expiring in 2026, the report suggests that Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United will be vying for his signature.
- Manchester United sent scouts to watch Sunderland midfielder Chris Rigg ahead of a potential summer bid, according to TalkSPORT. The Red Devils could face serious competition for Rigg this summer, who is wanted by a number of Premier League clubs. The 17-year-old has been a regular feature for Sunderland this season, scoring four goals in 26 Championship games. Rigg is already regarded by many as the best prospect to emerge from the Championship since Jude Bellingham.
- RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is the top target for Arsenal in the summer, says the Independent. Sesko, 21, has impressed in the Bundesliga and signed a new contract a few months ago, but Leipzig will let him depart for a fee of around €70m. Arsenal failed to sign a striker in the January window but the Athletic says they were in talks with AC Milan over the signing of Spain striker Álvaro Morata before he opted to move to Galatasaray.
- Chelsea's search for new players didn't yield much in the recent window, but the club reportedly failed in a late attempt to hijack Tottenham's loan signing of Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel, says L'Equipe. Tel, 19, rejected a €60m permanent deal to join Tottenham earlier in the window but then opted to move there on loan on deadline day, with the club having a €55m option to sign him permanently in the summer.

EXPERT TAKE
ESPN's Beth Lindop explores why Liverpool might be interested in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi.
It's no secret that Liverpool need to sign a defender in the summer. Upgrading at left-back is the club's biggest priority but, considering they haven't made a senior addition at centre-back since Ibrahima Konaté's arrival in 2021, there is an argument that they need to freshen up in that department too, particularly considering the patchy injury records of Konate and Joe Gomez.
Then there is the small matter of Virgil van Dijk's future to consider. There remains an expectation that the Netherlands international will pen a new deal at Anfield but, if that doesn't happen, Liverpool will certainly need to bring in another elite centre-back if he departs on a free transfer in the summer. Like Van Dijk, Guehi is a right-footed defender who primarily plays on the left side of defence, so would be a good fit.
Indeed, should Van Dijk leave, a move for the Crystal Palace man would make sense. At 24, Guehi already has plenty of senior experience, both on the domestic and international stage. Considering he is out of contract in 2026, Palace will not be in a particularly strong negotiating position this summer, though there is likely to be stern competition for his signature at around £70m.
