Deadline day key events
Greek Gunners: Arsenal 'initiate contact' for 'new Iniesta'?
Arsenal have made contact with Greek giants Olympiacos to discuss a double deal for fledgling duo Charalampos Kostoulas and Christos Mouzakitis, according to a report.
Mikel Arteta's men gambled on a quiet January transfer window, a risk that backfired no fewer than two weeks later as Kai Havertz sustained a season-ending hamstring injury.
Nevertheless, the Gunners are still just about in contention for the Premier League crown, sitting seven points behind Liverpool in the table after Saturday's 2-0 win over Leicester City.
Having not spent a single penny over the winter, Arsenal are seemingly gearing up for a busy summer transfer window, where a new striker and new holding midfielder will be sought as a matter of priority.
Planning ahead? Belgium international 'catches the eye' of Championship side Leeds
Leeds United have reportedly identified a Serie A defender as a potential summer transfer target.
Daniel Farke's side are currently well on track to earn a return to the Premier League having lost just three of their 32 Championship fixtures during 2024-25.
The Yorkshire giants currently hold a four-point advantage in the race for automatic promotion, helped by a 4-0 victory at Watford last time out.
Although club officials will not want to get presumptuous when it comes to earning a place in the top flight, they also need to start considering the necessary work for new arrivals.
Real Madrid 'desperate' to beat Prem trio to Dutch wonderkid
Real Madrid are reportedly determined to win the race for Ajax youngster Jorrel Hato.
The 18-year-old's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal all believed to be keen to bring him to the Premier League during this summer's transfer window.
However, according to Fichajes, there is also genuine interest from Real Madrid, with Los Blancos keen to secure his signature at the end of the campaign in order for him to be a part of the first-team squad for next term.
The report claims that Real Madrid view the teenager as a potential 'key player' in the future, and Carlo Ancelotti's side would be willing to pay €40m (£33m) to sign him this summer.
Arsenal to rival Chelsea for £17m-rated attacker?
Arsenal are reportedly prepared to rival Chelsea for highly-rated Deportivo La Coruna attacker Yeremay Hernandez.
The 22-year-old has been with Deportivo ever since he joined the club's academy in 2017 following his exit from Real Madrid's youth system.
After making his way through the ranks, Yeremay has gone on to establish himself as an integral part of the first-team set-up at Riazor.
The winger has been in fine form during the current campaign, netting nine goals and providing three assists in 23 appearances in Spain's second tier.
Man City earmark Serie A star as De Bruyne successor?
Manchester City have reportedly identified Atalanta BC star Charles de Ketelaere as a potential replacement for Kevin De Bruyne.
After struggling in the first half of the campaign, Man City used the winter transfer window as an opportunity to start the rebuild of Pep Guardiola's squad.
They bolstered their defence with the additions of Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, while also recruiting midfielder Nico Gonzalez and forward Omar Marmoush before the transfer market closed at the start of February.
The Citizens are expected to continue their rebuild in the summer market, especially as they made to replace the experience and quality of De Bruyne.
Chelsea line up £83m summer bid for Barca star?
Chelsea are reportedly prepared to table a €100m (£83m) bid for Barcelona defender Jules Kounde, who is seemingly set to be offered a new contract by the Catalan club.
Kounde has made 124 appearances across all competitions since he joined Barcelona from Sevilla in the summer of 2022.
Chelsea appeared to be on the verge of signing the Frenchman before he completed a €50m (£42m) move to Barcelona.
Kounde was signed as a central defender, but he has also been utilised as a right-back during his time with the Blaugrana.
Man United, Villa, Barcelona - What does the future hold for Rashford?
Marcus Rashford is reportedly still hopeful of completing a 'dream switch' to Barcelona during this summer's transfer window.
The English forward joined Aston Villa on loan from Manchester United in the latter stages of the January market, and he has featured twice for Unai Emery's side since his arrival, coming off the bench against Tottenham Hotspur and Ipswich Town.
Villa have the chance to sign the 27-year-old on a permanent basis during this summer's transfer window for a fee in the region of £40m, and it is thought to be unlikely that he will play for Man United again.
Rashford had been holding out for a move to Barcelona during the winter window, but the Catalan outfit were ultimately unable to make a deal work from a financial point of view, and Villa quickly emerged as the favourites to sign him.
Superstar targeted! Man United 'preparing £125m bid' for 17-goal forward
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to make a €150m (£125m) move for Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez during this summer's transfer window.
Alvarez, 25, made the move to Atletico from Manchester City last summer, and he has been in excellent form for Diego Simeone's side this season, scoring 17 goals and registering four assists in 37 appearances in all competitions.
The Argentina international has six goals and one assist in eight appearances in the Champions League, with Atletico through to the knockout round of the competition, while he has helped the Red and Whites reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, netting four times and providing one assist in five outings in the tournament.
Alvarez has also been key to Atletico sitting second in the La Liga table, scoring seven goals and registering two assists in 24 appearances, with his switch from Man City proving to be a huge success.
