Clubs are slowly turning their eyes toward the summer window. Transfer Talk has updates on all the latest rumours.
Liverpool want Kenedy
Chelsea winger Kenedy has emerged as a surprise target for Liverpool after impressing during his loan spell at Newcastle, claims the Daily Mirror.
The 22-year-old has made only 15 Premier League appearances since moving to Stamford Bridge in 2015, but he has proved his talent under former Reds boss Rafa Benitez at St James' Park.
Newcastle are keen to complete a permanent move for the Brazilian at the end of the season, but Kenedy's head is likely to be turned by Liverpool's interest.
He has claimed two goals and two assists in 11 games for the Magpies since arriving on loan in January.
Man United join Bellerin race
Hector Bellerin is a man in demand as Manchester United become the latest club to be linked with the Arsenal full-back, according to Spanish outlet Sport.
Barcelona dropped their long-term interest in the 23-year-old last summer when they brought in Nelson Semedo from Benfica, but Juventus remain on his trail after rivalling the Catalan giants for his signature.
And the Serie A champions have now been joined by Premier League duo United and Chelsea, who are both weighing up €40 million offers for Bellerin at the end of the season.
With Arsene Wenger soon set to depart, Arsenal's rivals could take advantage of the uncertainty at the Emirates Stadium to try and tie up a deal for Bellerin right at the start of the transfer window.
DC United plot superstar signing
MLS side DC United are planning to bring in a big-name signing to celebrate moving into a new 20,000-seat stadium in July, reports The Sun.
Carlos Tevez and Fernando Torres reportedly lead DC's wish list, while Mario Balotelli is another name being considered to kick-start the new era at the Audi Field stadium.
Now 34, former Liverpool striker Torres could be the easiest target to acquire, having confirmed he will leave Atletico Madrid when his contract expires in June.
Tevez only recently returned to Boca Juniors following an unhappy spell in China, but it's thought he could be tempted for one last stint abroad in the U.S.
Tap-ins
