22:15 UPDATE: Liverpool should sign Zaha
John Aldridge has urged Liverpool to snap up Wilfried Zaha this summer as Jurgen Klopp looks to add to his attack.

"Wilfried Zaha is the one I think he should go for," he wrote in his Sunday World column.

"With Daniel Sturridge leaving the club and his huge wages coming off the weekly bill, it opens up the opportunity for Klopp to sign an out-and-out goalscorer who could offer something different if one of the front three is injured or out of form.

"Zaha has given Liverpool some real problems in the last couple of years and Klopp's ability to turn talents of his type into consistent performers has to make him the kind of player who could thrive at Anfield."

20:15 UPDATE: Harry Maguire talks… to his mates
Harry Maguire has told friends he is joining Manchester City and is expected to complete the move this week.

And Maguire is understood to have told those closest to him that the offer is too good to turn down.

City are set to pay £80million to get their man and that would see him surpass Virgil van Dijk - who joined Liverpool from Southampton for £75m in January 2018 - as the world's most expensive defender.

"Yes I'm aware of it but there's nothing to say on it," said the former Liverpool skipper. "I'm very happy. It's a privilege to be the Rangers manager and my focus is on the coming season.

"I'm going to leave Barça and Celta is an option," Suarez told AS. "I'm convinced that I'll play for Celta one day but I don't know when.

18:15 UPDATE: Kieran Tierney transfer decision
Arsenal have made a decision about their transfer pursuit of Celtic's Kieran Tierney after the Scottish champions rejected their initial bid.

Express Sport understand that Arsenal boss Emery has made his left-back position a priority this summer with Tierney sitting at the top of his wanted list, but he won't bow down to Lennon's demands.

The Gunners will make an improved bid of around £18m for the Scotland international but are not willing to match Celtic's £25million valuation and do not want to get into a bidding war.

The second offer will include several add-ons which Arsenal hope will be enough to bring Tierney to the Emirates this summer after he underwent surgery for a double hernia last month.

Paris Saint-Germain have contacted Manchester United about an audacious swap deal.

However, Woodward is supposedly against the deal for two reasons.

The first is Neymar's current £900,000-a-week wages, and the second is that the Manchester United executive vice-chairman wants to keep Pogba at Old Trafford.
