In north London, meanwhile, Arsenal continue to retain an interest in Youri Tielemans but are yet to lodge a formal offer for the Belgian international. Finally, Tottenham are said to be keeping keen eyes on Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo. Follow all of the latest news, gossip and rumours in our LIVE blog below!

Lionel Messi: Could PSG star make a sensational return to Barcelona?
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has talked up a potential move for Lionel Messi when his contract expires at Paris Saint-Germain.
Xavi Hernandez, who formed part of a Barca side to have won it all alongside the Argentine, also hinted an emotional return would be something he would be on board with.
“Messi is the best footballer in the world and in history. President Laporta already said that Messi’s story with Barça is not over, but now is not the time to talk about it.”
West Ham latest

How Tottenham lost out on Luis Diaz
Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has revealed he cut short his holiday during the January transfer window to help the club beat Tottenham to the signing of Luis Diaz.
Spurs chased a deal for the then-Porto forward earlier this year and saw an opening bid rejected before Jurgen Klopp’s side landed the Colombian international.
While the successful signing of Dejan Kuluesvki softened the blow for Antonio Conte, Diaz had a major impact himself upon his move to the Premier League, scoring four times and registering three assists in 13 appearances.
Decision-makers at Spurs have since backed Conte heavily this summer but the Diaz saga came during a difficult run of things for the club, who also missed out on the signing of Adama Traore.

Eriksen and Martinez arrive at Man United training
Lisandro Martinez has been pictured arriving at Carrington ahead of his official unveiling as a Manchester United player.
The Argentine defender, 24, was spotted outside the Trafford Training Centre on Tuesday morning, catching a ride with another of United’s summer signings in Christian Eriksen.
Such an arrival was overshadowed by that of Cristiano Ronaldo, who also pulled into Carrington along with agent Jorge Mendes for crunch talks over his United future with manager Erik ten Hag.
Despite strong interest from Arsenal and a long drawn-out transfer saga, United finally won the race for Martinez last week, announcing they had reached an agreement with Ajax over a deal believed to be worth an initial £48.5million plus a potential further £8.5m in add-ons.
The centre-back was expected to pen a five-year contract at Old Trafford with the option for a further 12 months, with the transfer subject to the usual medical and visa requirements.
