Liverpool’s first-team coach has held private discussions with RB Leipzig officials over the future of 19-year-old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande, multiple sources confirmed late on Friday. The Anfield side view the youngster as a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, who remains unsettled amid contract uncertainty. Leipzig, however, have made it clear Diomande is not for sale this summer despite their Champions League qualification, sources said.

Arsenal have set a £20m asking price for 29-year-old Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, rejecting approaches that fall short of the valuation. The Emirates club are preparing for life after Mikel Arteta’s future remains unclear, with internal discussions focused on rebuilding with younger talent. Jesus, who joined from Manchester City in 2022, has scored 23 Premier League goals in two seasons but has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia or MLS.

Manchester City are accelerating plans to sign 23-year-old England midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, prioritising his arrival as part of their post-Pep Guardiola restructuring. City’s hierarchy see the versatile Anderson as a key piece in their midfield rebuild, with the player’s contract set to expire in 2025. Forest have already rejected an initial bid, but sources say City are prepared to raise their offer beyond £40m.

Liverpool are also monitoring Brazil goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s situation, with the 33-year-old facing a uncertain future at Anfield. Reports suggest Juventus remain interested, but Liverpool are reluctant to sell unless a suitable replacement is identified. Meanwhile, 25-year-old Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has been discussed in potential deals involving Inter Milan, though no agreement has been reached.

Tottenham have emerged as surprise suitors for Manchester City winger Savinho, 22, who is open to a move away from the Etihad. The Brazilian’s contract runs until 2027, but his limited playing time under Guardiola has fuelled speculation about his future. Spurs, currently under Ange Postecoglou, see the winger as a direct replacement for Son Heung-min, who is expected to leave in the summer.

• 📊 Savinho has made just 12 league starts this season
• 🔍 Spurs’ hierarchy see him as a high-upside talent with resale value
• ⚠️ City may demand a sell-on clause or future discount

Outgoing Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola is closing in on a deal to become Bayer Leverkusen’s next head coach, sources within the German club confirmed. Iraola, who will leave the Cherries after their relegation, has been in advanced talks with Leverkusen officials over a three-year contract. The move would reunite him with sporting director Simon Rolfes, who previously worked with the Spaniard at Wolfsburg.

England midfielder Morgan Rogers, 23, remains a target for Arsenal, who have conducted detailed scouting reports on the Aston Villa player. Rogers, a versatile midfielder with a £30m release clause, has been a consistent performer for Villa but is now expected to leave under new manager. Arsenal’s hierarchy see him as a long-term solution in midfield, though Villa are yet to receive a formal offer.

Spain defender Oscar Mingueza, 27, has told his agents he wants a Premier League move this summer, with Aston Villa and Newcastle among the clubs monitoring his situation. The Celta Vigo defender is set to become a free agent in June, providing clubs with a cost-effective option. Mingueza’s versatility and Champions League experience with Barcelona have made him an attractive target for mid-table sides looking to strengthen defensively.
