Chelsea are set for a fight with Manchester City over Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker, according to the Mirror .
Walker would be in line for doubling his salary with either club, and Blues' boss Antonio Conte is a big admirer who wants increased options ahead of the club's
return to Champions League football.
ARSENAL WANT CHELSEA'S TAMMY ABRAHAM
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants to bring in Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham, says The Sun .
The England Under-21 international is prepared to quit Chelsea if he's not offered first-team football next season, and he doesn't factor into Antonio Conte's future plans.

Everton are asking for £50 million for midfielder Ross Barkley should he decide to leave the club this summer, reports the Daily Mail

MAN UTD WANTS TO BRING BACK KEANE
Michael Keane could be on the way back to Manchester United, according to the Daily Mail.
The defender was sold by the Old Trafford outfit two years ago for just £2 million, but it will cost the club £25m to bring him back after his good form for Burnley.
A clause in the deal when the defender was sold for the Manchester side to get a 25% sell-on fee basically assures the club of a discounted price against rivals for his signature.
AUBAMEYANG CONSIDERING CHINA OFFER
Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is reportedly considering a move to China, according to L'Equipe .
The French newspaper reports that the Gabon international could turn down a move to Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester United in order to become one of the world's richest players at Tianjin Quanjian in the Chinese Super League.
MADRID SET JAMES PRICE
James Rodriguez is set to be announced as a Manchester United player imminently, according to Colombian radio station Radio Caracol .
Marca reports that Real Madrid are willing to accept bids of upwards of €75 million for the Colombia international, who has struggled to nail down a starting place in Zinedine Zidane's team and he could well have found a destination in Old Trafford.
MAN UTD SET FOR £200M SPREE
Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward will address investors Tuesday ahead of a potential-record summer spending spree, according to the Manchester Evening News .
Woodward has sanctioned the Red Devils to trigger Antoine Griezmann's £85m release clause, along with moves for Tottenham's Eric Dier, Burnley's Michael Keane and approaches for either Torino's Andrea Belotti or Everton's Romelu Lukaku. In total, such a transfer haul would likely cost the Red Devils well over £200m.
NEWCASTLE WANT PERMANENT ATSU DEAL
Newcastle are in talks with Chelsea to make their loan of Ghanaian winger Christian Atsu permanent, according to Sky Sports.
Atsu, who has 13 months left on his Chelsea deal but has never made an appearance for the Blues, is said to have an option in his contract which allows newly-promoted Newcastle to sign him for £6.2million.
LIVERPOOL WANT £30M FOR SAKHO
Liverpool have set a price for defender Mamadou Sakho of around £30million according to the Daily Mail .
In addition to Crystal Palace, where Sakho is currently on loan, Liverpool believe there will be a large market for the defender as West Ham, Southampton and Napoli have all expressed interest in the defender before.
With Sakho on his way out, Jurgen Klopp hopes to land either Southampton defender Virgil Van Dijk or Burnley's Michael Keane this summer.
CELTIC EYE MADRID & CHELSEA STRIKERS
Celtic are prepared to part with star Moussa Dembele and are targeting players from Chelsea and Real Madrid as his replacement, according to the Sun .
The newspaper suggests Manchester United and Chelsea are the favorites for Dembele but that the London club hold an edge thanks to Celtic's interest in Blues youngster Dominic Solanke, who spent the season on loan with Vitesse.
In addition to the 19-year-old Solanke, Spain Under-19 and Real Madrid B forward Dani Gomez has also caught the attention of the Scottish giants. The 18-year-old Gomez would cost £3 million.
BALE TO UTD, GRIEZY TO REAL?
Spanish publication Don Balon reports that Real Madrid could move to sign Manchester United target Antoine Griezmann if Gareth Bale forces his way out of the club.
The report suggests Bale has been assessing his options and is willing to make a move to Old Trafford should all parties come to an agreement on who should go where in what looks to be a busy summer ahead at the Bernabeu.
EVERTON WANT LANZINI
Everton are ready to make a summer transfer bid for West Ham's Manuel Lanzini, according to the Mirror .

ARSENAL EYE MAHREZ & GIBSON

Arsene Wenger is set to remain at the Emirates Stadium and wants the Leicester City winger and Middlesbrough defender to lead his summer spending spree.
EVERTON REGISTER INTEREST IN RAHMAN
Everton have expressed an interest in signing Chelsea left-back Baba Rahman, though the 22-year-old is poised to return to Schalke on loan, The Daily Mail reports.

ARSENAL & CHELSEA IN MODRIC CHASE

IBRA WAGES COULD SCUPPER GRIEZMANN DEAL

The France international wants to be the club's highest-paid player and had wanted a wage of in the region of £300,000 per week before these revelations. Now there are fears he could ask for more and break the club's wage structure.
IHEANACHO SET FOR DORTMUND?
Manchester City's Kelechi Iheanacho could be on his way from the club this summer, with reports from the Daily Mail that Dortmund are interested in the Nigeria striker.
