The January transfer window is now little more than a distant memory in European football and as such clubs across the continent are already making plans for the summer window. Teams are working tirelessly behind the scenes on identifying targets and figuring out their budgets.

Managers will be constantly assessing their squads with sporting directors and recruitment staff scanning the market for potential deals. A plethora of players will become available in the summer where clubs famously have more money to spend and aren’t as restricted by financial fair play rules. The rumour mill is beginning to pick up pace and we’ve collated some of the biggest current transfer stories. 

Arsenal have reportedly joined the race to sign Victor Osimhen, according to reports in Turkey. The Nigeria international’s loan deal at Galatasaray ends at the end of the season and he will return to Napoli with just six months left on his contract. Several European giants could move for Osmihen and Arsenal are the latest club to be linked.

Manchester United and Manchester City are both tracking Sporting CP winger Trincão, according to reports in Portugal. Sporting are hopeful, however, that the 25-year-old will sign a new contract with the Lisbon club. 

Liverpool are scouting three Ajax players in Anton Gaaei, Mika Godts and Jorrel Hato. Meanwhile, Chelsea are attempting to secure a deal for Gremio sensation Gabriel Mec. The Stamford Bridge side were closing to securing his signature in January as they look to add another talented youngsters to their ranks.
