SIMON JONES: West Ham had a £15m offer for Marko Arnautovic turned down prior to his transfer request.

SIMON JONES: Chelsea defender Ola Aina is currently discussing his potential season-long loan move to Hull City.

Hull are looking to bolster their options ahead of the new season as they look to bounce straight back up to the Premier League

SIMON JONES: Manchester City have lined up a move for Red Star Belgrade teenage brothers Luka and Ivan Ilic.

Ivan is 16 but actually made his first team debut before his elder brother when he played against Spartak Subotica on April 1 and became the youngest player in Red Star's history at 16 years and 15 days.

Luka is an 18-year-old defensive midfielder and he came on as a substitute in their Europa League qualifier against Floriana of Malta.

Marseille are discussing a move for Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony who also has interest from Fenerbahce.

SIMON JONES: Liverpool say they have yet to receive any enquiries from Paris Saint-Germain for Philippe Coutinho.

The 25-year-old Anfield idol is pivotal to Liverpool's plans for this season and they have no intention of selling though are wary of interest being generated in the skilful Brazilian.

PSG are keen to add a star name this summer as they jostle for position with rivals for Monaco's Kylian Mbappe and James Rodriguez at Real Madrid.

SIMON JONES: Tom Lees remains among the targets being considered by Burnley.

Stoke City and Leicester are also understood to have considered the 26-year-old who has been a mainstay of Sheffield Wednesday's defence since joining on a free transfer from Leeds United in 2014.

Burnley have also earmarked Lamine Kone at Sunderland though it is understood the Ivory Coast international is waiting on offers from other clubs.

SIMON JONES: Leicester are lining up a renewed bid for West Brom defender Jonny Evans.

Albion insist Evans is not for sale but Leicester believe the 29-year-old Northern Ireland international would be interested in joining them as they continue to test Albion's resolve. 

Wayne Rooney has insisted that life at Manchester United had not gone 'stale' but insists the lack of game-time under Jose Mourinho was a key factor in his decision to leave for Everton.

The 31-year-old spoke to the press for the first time since sealing an emotional return to Goodison Park on Wednesday afternoon and addressed speculation that his final few months at Old Trafford were something of a struggle. Although he admitted sitting on the bench was frustrating, he said he had stayed positive throughout.

Rooney said on life at United: 'It hadn’t gone stale. But I needed to play more games. I didn’t play that often. It's obviously frustrating. My whole career, I've played and it was the first time I was on the bench and it's not me. I need to play.

SIMON JONES: West Brom are waiting to see if Ronald Koeman will allow Gareth Barry to leave Everton this summer.

The 36-year-old is wanted by Tony Pulis to anchor his midfield following the departure of Darren Fletcher to Stoke City.

Barry is well thought of by Koeman, who sees him as a role model for younger players, yet the continued recruiitment of midfielders means the former England international will have limited game time this season.

Albion would be willing to offer a two year deal while Burnley, who are talking to Swansea's Jack Cork, also have an interest.

Everton are willing to sell James McCarthy this window and his departure could dictate whether they allow Barry to leave also.

SIMON JONES: Crystal Palace are keen on Club Brugge defender Stefano Denswil.

The 24-year-old started out at Ajax where he initially attracted a lot of attention from the likes of Manchester United and AC Milan. However, he fell out of favour under now Palace boss Frank de Boer and was allowed to leave for Club Brugge.

He has improved while in Belgium, winning the league, and has been a recent target for Monaco and Everton. De Boer is understood to be keen to give the versatile Denswil another chance as he looks to strengthen a suspect defence.

Palace are also signing Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan from Chelsea for the season.

SIMON JONES: Christian Benteke has been discussed by Everton as an alternative option should they fail to prise Olivier Giroud from Arsenal.

It is understood no contact has yet been made with Palace for the 26-year-old who is happy in London and looking for a new home there.

However, the former Liverpool striker is admired by staff at Goodison Park.

Everton want to sign three more players this window following Wayne Rooney's arrival with £50m-rated Gylfi Sigurdsson and Giroud top of their list. Giroud travelled with Arsenal to Sydney on Sunday as Everton ponder their next move.

Benteke is also on Chelsea's list of options but Palace would be reluctant to lose their main striker who cost £27million last year.

SIMON JONES: Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is hoping to finalise his move to Juventus this week for around £13 million.

Sportsmail revealed the Italian champions' interest in Szczesny earlier this summer and the Poland international is keen for the deal to be signed off after he was left off Arsenal's trip to Australia. 

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri sees Szczesny as the successor of Gianluigi Buffon, who is expected to retire next year.

SIMON JONES: Marko Arnautovic has told Stoke City he wishes to leave the club.

The Austrian international only committed to a new contract to 2020 last year after turning down a move to Everton.

West Ham have an interest while AC Milan and Paris St Germain have also shown interest in the past year also.

The 28-year-old scored seven goals last season and has been capped 62 times by Austria

SIMON JONES: James Rodriguez wants his future resolved swiftly after being offered to Europe's elite clubs including Manchester United and Chelsea.

Real Madrid want £62million for the Colombia international with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich also among the clubs to have spoken to his entourage in recent weeks.

Agent Jorge Mendes has pushed him to Manchester United, as a possible replacement for Wayne Rooney, but relations between the two clubs are not the best at the moment following United's withdrawal from talks over Alvaro Morata.

The two clubs are due to face each other on July 23 in California with Madrid flying out to the USA on Tuesday.

Bayern are selling Douglas Costa to Juventus and the Rodriguez camp hope that may open up a route for the 25-year-old.

CRAIG HOPE: Rafa Benitez is growing increasingly frustrated with Newcastle United’s lack of progress in the transfer market.

The Magpies have made an offer in the region of £8million for Norwich winger Jacob Murphy but have been told he is not for sale and sources have indicated that progress on that front looks unlikely.

Sportsmail also understands that Newcastle will not be revisiting a loan move for Liverpool wideman Sheyi Ojo as the demands for the deal are too high.

RORY O'CALLAGHAN: Barcelona star Neymar is hopeful the club can agree a deal to sign his international team-mate Paulinho from Guangzhou Evergrande. 

Barca boss Ernesto Valverde is keen to bring in midfield reinforcements ahead of his first season at the Nou Camp and has identified Paulinho as a potentially cheap option, although Guangzhou are determined to hold on to one of their marquee players.

The Chinese Super League club rejected a £17million offer from the Spanish giants earlier this month and Neymar has urged Barcelona's hierarchy to do all they can to bring Paulinho to Catalonia before the transfer window closes.

'Paulinho is a friend of mine in football,' Neymar told reporters back in his native Brazil, after featuring in a five-a-side tournament in Sao Paolo.

'I want him to sign for Barca because with a player like him, who's also a mate of mine, we'll get so much.'

Charlton's Player of the Year has signed a new three-year contract with the club.

Holmes scored 13 goals in 38 matches last season while contributing six assists. 

Liverpool goalkeepers Simon Mignolet, Loris Karius and Danny Ward must all prove themselves and fight for a regular spot in the starting line-up, says manager Jurgen Klopp.

Belgium international Mignolet has been the preferred shot-stopper for Klopp, playing 31 games last season, with the German Karius limited to 16 games. The duo now face competition from Ward, a Wales international.

Ward, 24, spent last season on loan at Huddersfield Town and helped the club gain promotion to the top tier, making a crucial save in the play-off final penalty shootout to help his side beat Reading.

'That's very comfortable for the manager, three really good goalkeepers,' Klopp told the club's website.

'It is like it is and nothing is decided. They can all show how good they are. I don't want to bring doubt so that they start doubting. We have three goalkeepers and they can all show what they are able to do, and then we will see who will start.'

MATT BARLOW: Chelsea have regrouped to launch the defence of the Premier League title without top-scorer Diego Costa.

CRAIG HOPE: It was long before reports emerged of Everton's interest in Wayne Rooney that boss Ronald Koeman revealed one of his backroom team was begging him to sign the then England captain.

Duncan Ferguson - Rooney’s friend and childhood idol - was in the ear of the Dutchman on a daily basis, for even as far back as November he knew that the idea was far from fantasy.

It cannot be underestimated, then, the role of Ferguson in Rooney’s sensational return to Goodison Park this week.

Their friendship was strong enough for Ferguson to persuade Rooney to turn out in the blue of his former club for his testimonial match two years ago, even though he was captain of Manchester United at the time. Only for Ferguson would Rooney make such a commitment.

MARTIN SAMUEL: If Manchester United are looking to make a flying start this season, then Romelu Lukaku is most definitely their man. The first visitors to Old Trafford on August 13 are West Ham, and they are Lukaku’s mark.

In four seasons at Everton, he scored in nine games against West Ham. He likes Aston Villa, too, scoring in five games over three seasons, and Crystal Palace, with four scoring appearances. Signing for United solves another problem, too, because he certainly doesn’t thrive against them: a run of 10 games without a goal.

He never scored a League goal against Chelsea for Everton, either — albeit he couldn’t play against them when on loan — and just one against Tottenham. He does better against Manchester City, and reasonably against Arsenal and Liverpool. But his overall record against the top six clubs amounts to 16 goals in 57 appearances.

This does not make Lukaku a dud. Diego Costa did not score against Manchester United or Tottenham last season, and only against Arsenal in the FA Cup, and Chelsea still won the League.

Yet the last time Manchester United claimed the title — season 2012-13 — Robin van Persie was prolific against their biggest rivals. He scored against every opponent in the top 10, bar ninth-placed Swansea. He scored against Liverpool and Arsenal home and away.

'I know the players that have been here for a very long time with him will be feeling it as well.

'So yes, this is a bitter sweet feeling for me – it is good to be here but the circumstances could have been better.

'The plan would have been for me to come in and here and be competing against Carl.'

Chelsea are ready to launch a staggering 80m euros (£71m) bid for Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata, according to AS.

With Romelu Lukaku's imminent move to Manchester United, Chelsea have turned their attentions to signing the Spanish forward.

Chelsea are stepping up their pursuit of a striker after signing Antonio Rudiger on Sunday.
