19:45 UPDATE: Arsenal conditions revealed
Arsenal will have to splash out the big bucks and be in the top four in order to snare Nicolas Pepe, claims Robert Pires.
"Pepe would be a fantastic signing for Arsenal, but they're going to have to pay big money to secure him," Gunners legend Pires said. "He's building up a lot of interest as he's playing so well and lots of clubs will be in for him this summer so I can't see him going for cheap.
"These are the type of signings Arsenal need to make to propel them back up the table, but I think they will miss their chance if they don't secure a Champions League spot this season. Pepe is a Champions League player and will want to play for a club that's in the tournament."
Pepe has forged a reputation as one of Ligue 1's most formidable attacking talents during his time with Lille.

"Gareth deserves the greatest of respect.

"In the six years he has been in Spain, he has won everything.

11:25 UPDATE: Neymar revelation
Neymar has refused to rule out a transfer to Real Madrid in the future.
"Real Madrid is one of the biggest clubs in the world and any player would want to play there," he said.
"I'm happy in Paris, I'm really good, but nobody knows the future.
"But I'm not saying I will play for Real Madrid.
"Barcelona was my childhood dream and I made that a reality."
10:55 UPDATE: Zidane to Chelsea backed
Zinedine Zidane has been tipped to replace Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea by Robert Pires.
He told Bwin: "I think Zidane would be a very good appointment at Chelsea.
"He would demand respect from the Chelsea players and control the dressing room as a result of everything he has achieved both on the pitch as a player and on the bench as a manager.
"He's a winner and a warrior. He's had great success in the Champions League which is attractive to the Chelsea owner. It would be very good news for the Premier League if Zidane moved to England."
10:30 UPDATE: Woodward's Solskjaer decision
Man Utd staff are confused by Ed Woodward's decision to delay naming Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the club's next permanent manager.
United have been in fine form under Solskjaer in the time since, though, winning 12 of their first 15 games under his guidance.
And the Evening Standard say United staff are wondering why Woodward has not named Solskjaer as the club's next permanent manager already.
However, it is claimed that Woodward is giving himself 'breathing room' in case United's fine form tails off.

10:05 UPDATE: Liverpool want Gomez
Liverpool are ready to move for Maxi Gomez this summer.
The Sun say the Reds are eyeing the Celta Vigo star, 22, as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster his attacking ranks.

09:45 UPDATE: Mauro Icardi to Man Utd on
Mauro Icardi will be offered to Manchester United this summer as Inter Milan look to offload the striker.
Express Sport understands Inter are keen to land Romelu Lukaku - meaning a stunning swap deal could be on the cards.
The Italian giants would be willing to let Icardi make the switch the other way, with the striker out of favour at Inter.
Icardi, 26, has been dumped as captain and hasn't featured for almost a month.
Inter would rather sell the Argentina international to a Premier League side over a Serie A rival.

09:15 UPDATE: Yannick Carrasco still wanted by Arsenal
Arsenal are interested in signing Yannick Carrasco after failing to land the Belgium international in the January window.
Express Sport understands the Gunners failed to agree a loan fee with Chinese side Dalian Yifang earlier this year.
The former Monaco and Atletico Madrid winger is keen to return to Europe this summer and Arsenal are keen.
However, Carrasco's £8.8 million a year wage could be a problem for the Gunners, who are short on cash.
