TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - Updates from Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and more…
Monday, June 25
Chelsea done deal
19:40: Chelsea youngster Trevoh Chalobah has gone on loan to Ipswich.
Chalobah, 18, will move to Portman Road on a season-long loan.
He is Ipswich’s first signing of the summer but manager Paul Hurst is expecting more arrivals.
"He's very comfortable on the ball, and he's a very good player,” Hurst said of Chalobah.
"He's at an age where people might question him as he's a bit young. There will be demands put on him that he might not have encountered in the past but from speaking to him I know he's hungry to succeed.”
Real Madrid eye Colombian
19:00: Real Madrid have contacted Columbia playmaker Juan Fernando Quintero during the World Cup.
Quintero played under Julen Lopetegui at Porto and AS claim the manager wants to bring him to the Bernabeu.
However, Quintero is on loan at River Plate, meaning Real would have to negotiate with two clubs to secure a deal this summer.
Quintero joined Porto in 2013 and has impressed at the World Cup in Russia, scoring in Colombia’s 2-1 loss to Japan.

Torreira to Arsenal
17:55: Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Lucas Torreira, says the agent of ANOTHER player.
Arsenal are chasing Torreira and his capture is expected to be announced soon.
They are also after Celta Vigo star Stanislav Lobotka.
And it is Lobotka’s agent Branislav Jasurek who says Torreira is heading to the Emirates.
"Arsenal have bought Torreira to play six, so I do not think it's going to happen," Jasurek told La Voz de Galicia.
"We only had a few words about feelings about the club, about what we think about Stanko's future, but nothing in particular."
Fekir to Man Utd
17:30: Could Manchester United be set to swoop in on Liverpool target Nabil Fekir?
Lyon’s president Jean-Michel Aulas recently revealed he had been in contact with Jose Mourinho, before going on to discuss Fekir.
It has opened up speculation the France playmaker could be heading to Old Trafford this summer.
Liverpool are still supposedly interested but the Manchester Evening News reckon Fekir would fit in at United as a replacement for Marouane Fellaini.
Fellaini is set to leave United when his contract expires at the end of the month.

Arsenal snub Dunk
17:15: Arsenal manager Unai Emery is not interested in signing Brighton defender Lewis Dunk.
That is despite Arsene Wenger chasing the centre-back during his latter days at the Emirates.
That is according to GMS, who reckon 26-year-old Dunk will be overlooked by Emery this summer.
The new manager has already signed Bernd Leno and Stephan Lichtsteiner to bolster his Gunners defence.
Hazard to Real Madrid
17:00: Eden Hazard will reject a £340,000-a-week contract offer at Chelsea in order to move to Real Madrid.
That is the sensational claim emerging from Spain this afternoon.
Marca claim Hazard, who is currently impressing at the World Cup, is ready to leave the Blues.
He is supposedly unhappy Antonio Conte is due to be replaced by Maurizio Sarri.
Chelsea’s failure to secure Champions League football for next season is supposedly another major problem for the playmaker.
Hazard will instead push to join Real Madrid this summer, even though his Chelsea contract expires in 2020.

Leeds United transfer update
16:50: New Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has revealed some worrying transfer news for fans.
Leeds supporters have been desperate for the club to get started on deals following Bielsa’s appointment.
The club have been trying to lock the ex-Argentina manager down for almost a month, having sacked Paul Heckingbottom at the start of June.
But Bielsa has warned fans not to expect too many done deals this summer.
"For the moment we're not intending to bring too many new faces in,” the Argentine said.
“From my point of view the club have got plenty of players I feel should remain here, who we should keep."
