11:00: Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has handed in a transfer request sparking a transfer frenzy.

Aubameyang, 27, has enjoyed another sensational season, netting 39 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions.

But his time with the Bundesliga giants looks to be coming to an end, according to German publication Bild.

Antonio Conte’s Chelsea are expected to challenge for his services, and his £59m price-tag is unlikely to deter the Premier League champions.

09:00: Manchester United want to sign Chelsea target Alvaro Morata and believe they can strike a deal with Real Madrid.

Express Sport understands Morata is on Chelsea manager Antonio Conte's shopping list.

He has also been linked with AC Milan in recent days.

But Spanish newspaper Marca claim Jose Mourinho is looking to bring the former Juventus star to Old Trafford.

Real Madrid want to sign United's David De Gea and the Red Devils are willing to sell the goalkeeper for £22m PLUS Morata this summer.

Otherwise Real will have to pay United's £65m asking price for their shot-stopper.

05:35: Chelsea will reject any cut-price offers for Diego Costa this summer, according to reports. 

Costa has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge. 

But The Times claim the Blues will play hardball over his transfer. 

It is suggested they want more than £60million for the Spain international. 

And it will take a huge bid to prise him away from west London.
