As the final international break before the 2026 World Cup gets underway, teams from across the Premier League continue to be linked with several deals ahead of the summer transfer window.
Some of the top-flight's biggest and best clubs look set to be active at the end of the season, with some even eyeing up players from their arch-rivals.
Football Whispers takes a look at the top stories of the day:

Man Utd shortlist Myles Lewis-Skelly
Manchester United have put Myles Lewis-Skelly on their summer transfer shortlist, according to reports.
It's claimed that the versatile Arsenal youth product is a player who is appreciated by the Red Devils, with several teams across Europe thought to be tracking his situation at the Emirates Stadium.
United are looking to bolster the position, with Patrick Dorgu viewed more as a winger, while Luke Shaw approaches the final stages of his career in Manchester.
It remains to be seen whether the Gunners would be open to a sale, and for how much, with the England international currently valued in the region of £50 million.
Aston Villa eye Marcus Rashford return
Aston Villa are considering a return for Marcus Rashford amid doubts over his immediate future.
Per reports, United are willing to offload the England star this summer, but it seems unlikely that Barcelona – where he is currently on loan – will splash out on their initial £26 million agreement, instead seeking a second loan deal.
A move could also depend on whether the Midlands outfit land Jadon Sancho, with talks already underway over a permanent deal for him at Villa Park.
Rashford looked back to his best during his short loan spell at the Villans in the 2024/25 season, so it will be interesting to see if he is tempted by a reunion this summer.
Liverpool plot shock Iliman Ndiaye raid
Meanwhile, in Merseyside, a surprise claim has emerged linking Liverpool with a raid on their arch-rivals, Everton.
According to fresh reports, the Reds are plotting an audacious swoop for Toffees star Iliman Ndiaye ahead of the summer transfer window.
It was confirmed earlier this week that Mohamed Salah would leave Anfield at the end of the season, so Liverpool, who have been closely tracking the Senegal international, will need to find a viable successor.
Ndiaye's proven experience in the Premier League makes him an ideal candidate, however, a deal for the £80 million-rated winger does seem awfully unlikely given the rivalry between the two teams.
