Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reviews the Nottingham Forest game
Manchester City awake this morning knowing they are Premier League champions for the third successive season. And with the top-four and relegation battles also almost sewn up, the focus will very soon turn toward the summer transfer window ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
Arsenal legend Paul Merson claims that Dominic Calvert-Lewin's chance to play for the Gunners has most likely come and gone.
The Everton striker is fit and playing once again, but injury issues have plagued his campaign, and prior links to the Emirates Stadium appear unlikely to re-emerge.
"They looked at Dominic Calvert-Lewin before. Would that be right for them after the season he’s had? Probably not," Merson told Give Me Sport.
"If Arsenal were to sign [Declan] Rice and a striker who can get them 25 goals a season, they will definitely be finishing in the top four."
Arsenal have been linked with Neves in the past, but Barcelona appear to be advancing towards a deal and the 26-year-old waved goodbye to Molineux with his family on Saturday.
Manchester United and Chelsea have joined Bayern Munich in the race for Dusan Vlahovic, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Rumours of Chelsea submitting a formal bid have been refuted, but they reportedly 'appreciate' the Juventus star, with all interested parties waiting to find out whether the Bianconeri would be open to selling.
The former Fiorentina striker has scored 14 goals in all competitions this season, and at only 23 years old, he is tipped for a bright future.

West Ham manager David Moyes shied away from transfer speculation involving his captain, Declan Rice, after his side notched a 3-1 comeback win over Leeds United on Sunday.
Rice himself got on the scoresheet from midfield, and many expect him to leave the London Stadium this summer amid links to several Premier League heavyweights.
However, when asked after the game about Rice's future, Moyes told reporters: "Declan played very well today. He’s been playing well all season, he scored a really good goal. He played well, he’s a very, very good footballer."
Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has once again made his feelings clear on joining Manchester United ahead of the forthcoming summer transfer window.
The Red Devils went all out to sign him 12 months ago but came up short, with De Jong putting his foot down and staying at the Nou Camp.
"The club was in a difficult situation and they could have sold me for a big fee," he told NOS. "But I didn't want to go and stayed.
"Manchester United spoke with Barca, even though I wanted to stay. I want to be at Barca for as long as I can."

Liverpool have sent scouts to watch Sporting Lisbon midfielder Manuel Ugarte this weekend, according to reports from Portugal.
The Portuguese giants face Benfica in a mouth-watering clash on Sunday night, with the Reds set to get a good sense of what the 22-year-old is made of.
Ugarte's agent has already hinted that an exit is on the cards this summer, with Chelsea and Aston Villa also believed to be interested.

Chelsea reportedly want a new goalkeeper this summer.
And GiveMeSport journalist claims Mauricio Pochettino would prefer Inter Milan's Andre Onana over Brentford's David Raya.
He said: "Raya looks pretty certain to move, and now that Brentford are making new goalkeeper plans, it’s just a case of finding his new home.
"Chelsea’s move for a goalkeeper is something that Mauricio Pochettino wants, but they will have to resolve the situation first in-house as they have two big names in Kepa and Mendy.
"Mendy seems the one most likely to. He’s more attainable financially and easier to gauge interest in, sources have told me, but that still could take some time.
"From conversations I’ve had with contacts, it feels like their interest in Raya is legit, but I also think they prefer Andre Onana, just as Tottenham do.
"It’s very early days, but it’s not beyond imagination that Raya simply ends up signing for whichever team Onana doesn’t choose to join."
Ilkay Gundogan is reportedly set to snub Barcelona to extend his contract at Manchester City beyond the summer.
The 32-year-old midfielder was expected to leave the Etihad Stadium on a free transfer after Barca laid a two-year deal with the option of a further year on the table.
However, The Times report City are now prepared to offer longer terms than just one year, which has prompted a change of heart.
Morning - and a very good morning to Manchester City fans!
