North London could be heating up this summer, not just with the weather, but with a fierce transfer battle. Both Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly circling Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, each hoping to land the dazzling winger known for slick footwork and sharp finishing. Palace is open to selling the England international, but only for a hefty price tag of around £68 million. Eze impressed last season, contributing eight goals and eight assists in 34 Premier League games, making him one of the most exciting attacking prospects on the market.
Elsewhere, Spurs are standing firm on another of their stars. They won't be letting Europa League-winning defender Cristian Romero go for anything less than £60 million, even though Atlético Madrid is sniffing around. At that price, the Spanish side may just back off.
Over at Arsenal, attention has turned to Spain's promising young center-back Cristhian Mosquera. The 21-year-old is in talks for a potential move from Valencia, with the La Liga side reportedly asking for £25 million. Mosquera already has 82 top-flight appearances under his belt—a solid record for someone so young.
Manchester United are also on the hunt for young talent and have set their sights on PSG's teenage midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery, a Champions League winner with loads of potential. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho could be on the move again, with Napoli and Juventus showing interest. However, his £250,000-per-week wages are proving a major hurdle.
Aston Villa are exploring a return to England for Galatasaray's Gabriel Sara. The Brazilian midfielder, formerly of Norwich, has been turning heads in Turkey. Unai Emery is said to be particularly keen on bringing him to Villa Park.
Newcastle, facing resistance in their player pursuits, are trying a new approach, big money. They're reportedly tabled bids worth a combined £125 million for João Pedro (Brighton), Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest), and Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford. With valuations for Pedro and Elanga around £50 million each and Burnley likely to hold firm on Trafford, these deals may still prove tricky.
Brentford, who have become known for smart recruitment, are lining up Feyenoord's 19-year-old midfielder Antoni Milambo as their next signing. The deal could be worth £17 million initially, with another £4.25 million in add-ons.
Celtic's standout winger Nicolas Kühn is drawing interest from across Europe after a strong season. Italian side Como have already reached out, but RB Leipzig may also join the chase. On the way out, Celtic left-back Greg Taylor looks set to join Greek side PAOK.
And finally, Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles is hoping to reunite with centre-back Tyler Bindon, currently at Nottingham Forest. The pair previously worked together at Reading, and Selles sees Bindon as a good fit for the Blades.
