Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo has played his way onto the radars of Arsenal and Manchester United, the latter of whom were on the receiving end of a masterclass by the Colombian on the opening day of the season.

United are continuing to look for midfield alternatives amid concerns that Frenkie de Jong wants to move to Chelsea instead, although the Barcelona man has told team-mates that a move to Old Trafford is a possibility.

Meanwhile, PSG outcast Mauro Icardi has told friends he wants to move to United this summer after being banished to the reserve side in Paris.

The Blues also face a battle to keep hold of midfielder Conor Gallagher after Newcastle decided to make the England international their top transfer target for the remainder of the summer window.

PSG are readying a long-term contract offer to Marcus Rashford to convince him to leave Manchester United. The Parisians want to pair Rashford with Kylian Mbappe in a 3-4-1-2 formation.

Scouts from Manchester City will continue to monitor Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney over the coming season, with a bid potentially arriving if the Scot struggles in his battle for minutes with Oleksandr Zinchenko.
