Express Sport is here with all the gossip and speculation, as well as done deals already being announced. Follow our blog below to keep up to date with everything that's going on.
Newcastle United are reportedly interested in making a statement signing in the form of PSG forward Neymar this summer.
The Magpies are closing in on Champions League football next season, and Neymar is expected to leave Paris.
According to GiveMeSport, reports that have projected his potential influence on the club's marketing power have boosted interest among the club's board.
Chelsea duo Raheem Sterling and Hakim Ziyech have been strongly linked with summer departures.
And both were booed by travelling fans ahead of Saturday's 3-1 win at Bournemouth.
But Chelsea boss Frank Lampard opted against condemning the hostility.
He said: "Our fans were fantastic today. I appreciate their support.
"And we had a meeting at the end of the game on the pitch where everyone felt good for a day. It's important to feel that connection.
"In terms of the subs, they made an impact. Raheem was involved in a goal. Hakim gave us an assist. Opinions can always change, but they are two players that want to do well.
"There has been a lot of underperformance this year, but that's temporary. Their class is permanent, and they showed it."
Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has urged Erik ten Hag to sign Randal Kolo Muani this summer.
The Eintracht Frankfurt frontman has been strongly linked with a summer move to Old Trafford.
And Saha believes his fellow Frenchman would be a good fit for the Premier League.
He told Daznbet: "I think Randal Muani would be a very good signing for Man United. Not only as a number nine… he can play either side of a three.
"He's a very clever player, very quick, sharp with his feet and very intelligent. He's already established a good link with Kylian Mbappe for France. He's aware of everything.
"He has the talent to go short or long, he's very clever, and he will be a real danger in the Premier League if he comes, especially with Rashford and Sancho.
"That will be really hard for defences. It could be a very clever move. There is room for improvement."
Arsenal icon Gilberto Silva has hailed Jakub Kiwior for his start to life at the club after arriving in January.
The 23-year-old centre-back has showcased some promising signs at the Emirates Stadium, adding depth to Mikel Arteta's squad.
And Gilberto praised his performance against Chelsea: "It was great, he did a great game, and I was very happy for him to see him on the field.
"You see, the team is fighting for the title, and then you have one young lad who comes in for his first start of the season against Chelsea, where Arsenal need to come back after the last three results.
"He had to respond and help the team on the field, and he did it so well."

West Ham are reportedly interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt star Djibril Sow.
Sow is a defensive midfielder and could be a direct replacement for Declan Rice.
Rice is wanted by Arsenal and has just over 12 months remaining on his contract at the London Stadium.
Bundesliga expert Christian Falk told Caught Offside: "The Hammers had already inquired about Sow in the winter window, but at that time sports director Krosche put a stop to it.
"Eintracht are now ready to talk, and would let Sow leave for £13.3m (€15m)."

Bayern Munich are reportedly hoping that Chelsea will enter the race to sign Sadio Mane this summer.
Liverpool are also rumoured to be keen on taking Mane back to Anfield.
But Bayern want to drive up the winger's price as much as possible.
Bundesliga expert Christian Falk told CaughtOffside: "Bayern are hoping for an offer from Chelsea – offers from Premier League clubs are welcome in Munich (!) – but there are no seriously interested parties at this stage.
"Any potential interest from Newcastle doesn’t appeal to Mane either."

Pochettino managed the forward at Paris Saint-Germain and said in 2021: "It’s so easy with Neymar because you don’t need to do too much.
"From day one, he’s been very open to work. He’s very humble, he listens and always accepts all the instructions in a very good way. Brazilian players have something special inside."
A report from 90min claims PSG would want £75m for Neymar. Pochettino is clearly a big fan of the winger and may attempt to push through a deal when his arrival at Chelsea is confirmed.
