Bassey has definitely stepped up to the plate this season. Not a great deal was expected of him when he was signed by Steven Gerrard on a free transfer back in 2020 but his development has been rapid over the past eighteen months.

It is well-documented that Guardiola is a big fan of Kane but, after failing to secure his signature last summer, City are seemingly switching their attention to other targets.

Manchester City have offered Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland a contract close to €25m (£21m) a...

While the cost of the two transfers would have been high anyway (Rice is valued at £150m and Bellingham’s price tag is near £84m), it is believed the failure to qualify for the Champions League has ended any hopes of securing the pair.

Xavi‘s side are likely to allow Memphis Depay to leave this summer, though, while the futures of Ousmane Dembele, Martin Braithwaite, Adama Traore and Luuk de Jong are unclear.

Pieper’s contract at Bielefeld expires in June so he will be available on a free transfer. Despite playing for a struggling a side, his performances have impressed scouts.

Dortmund are expected to pay around €41m (£3.5m) for Adeyemi, including add-ons. A number of other English clubs (in addition to United) have been linked with the German international in recent months, including Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.

The German tabloid claims that the Reds are “watching his development closely” along with the likes of Real Madrid. There’s no mention of other Premier League clubs, which is interesting. The likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea have also been mentioned as potential suitors in recent months.

With Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain both nearing the final year of their contracts, it is not surprising that the Reds are looking at other options to strengthen in midfield

“Then there’s Allan McGregor, who made perhaps the most important save of the season from Katai’s penalty last Thursday night. McGregor has been under incredible pressure lately. When you’re 40 and you make a mistake, people say you are too old. But the Rangers goalkeeper has shown that, if you can jump like that and make a save like that at 40, you are certainly capable of playing another year.”
