With still several months of the season still remaining, Premier League clubs continue to be linked with outgoings and incomings, with a busy summer transfer window undoubtedly in store.

Chelsea are looking to sign a new centre-forward during the summer transfer window, and they now have their sights set on a new target.

According to reports, Brentford's talismanic striker Igor Thiago has emerged as a possible option for the Blues as they look to land a no.9.

It's thought that Chelsea have developed a ‘strong interest' in the Brazilian, who has scored 18 goals in the Premier League so far this season.

In fact, it is claimed that the London side held an interest in Thiago before he joined the Bees for £30 million in 2024.

Meanwhile, over on Merseyside, Liverpool are clearly in the market for attacking reinforcements amid the uncertain future of Mohamed Salah.

The latest name to be linked to the club is perhaps surprising, as former Aston Villa winger Moussa Diaby now appears to be on the radar, per TEAMtalk.

It's believed that the French wide man is available for a ‘cut-price' deal in the region of £30 million after an underwhelming spell in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Ittihad.

Diaby is said to be a ‘serious option' for the Reds, who also want to sign young RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande. He could be a cheaper alternative, but Liverpool could even try to sign both.

The potential mass exodus at Tottenham this summer doesn't appear to be relenting anytime soon, as another defender has been mooted with an exit.

According to reports in Italy, Serie A giants Juventus are interested in signing full-back Djed Spence ahead of the summer transfer window.

The likes of Micky van de Ven and club captain Cristian Romero have been linked with leaving Spurs at the end of the season, and it appears the 25-year-old could join them in a deal worth £26 million.

Spence enjoyed a loan spell at Italian rivals Genoa in 2024 and knows Old Lady sporting director Marco Ottolini from his time there.
