Borussia Dortmund have revived interest in former academy star Jadon Sancho, now on loan at Aston Villa, as the 26‑year‑old nears the end of his Manchester United contract. The German side view him as a low‑cost boost for their attack, while United appear set to let him leave on a free transfer this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are circling 23‑year‑old James Trafford, Manchester City’s England goalkeeper, hoping to secure his signature before the window opens. A reliable shot‑stopper, Trafford would provide competition for Hugo Lloris and strengthen a side that struggled for clean sheets last season. Arsenal, meanwhile, have identified two young defenders – Real Madrid prodigy Victor Valdepenas and Como centre‑back Jacobo Ramon – as potential reinforcements.

Nottingham Forest set a steep price tag of £100m‑£120m for midfielder Elliot Anderson, signalling they expect a Premier League giant to meet the demand if he departs. Everton appear reluctant to trigger a £50m clause for Jack Grealish, yet remain optimistic about a fresh deal. Across Europe, Manchester City join the chase for 16‑year‑old Hertha talent Kennet Eichhorn, while Arsenal weigh options on Gabriel Martinelli’s future.
