Ahead of the summer transfer window, teams across the Premier League continue to be mooted with exciting deals.

Several of the English top-flight's heavyweights are in the headlines again, with an experienced defender and a coveted teenager now being linked with big-money moves.

Football Whispers takes a look at the biggest stories of the day:

Chelsea have firm interest in signing Said Remadnia

Chelsea are thought to be leading the race to sign promising winger Said Remadnia ahead of the summer transfer window.

According to reports, the Blues hold a firm interest in the Marseille academy product, with claims that a five-year deal has even been put forward already.

Remadnia, who only turns 17 this week, is yet to break through at the Ligue 1 outfit but has impressed scouts in the UEFA Youth League this campaign.

Marseille are unwilling to let their prized asset depart, but the lure of Stamford Bridge could prove too much at this early stage of his career.

Liverpool to rival Barcelona to Alessandro Bastoni

Meanwhile, Liverpool are looking to bolster their defensive line this off-season and it's believed they are keen on signing Inter Milan centre-back Alessandro Bastoni.

Per reports in Italy, the Reds are prepared to battle Barcelona for the 26-year-old's signature, with Premier League rivals Arsenal also regularly linked with a move for the Italy international.

The LaLiga giants are considering a £52 million bid, though the Nerazzurri are looking for a fee in the region of £70 million instead.

Liverpool may be facing uncertainty in the dugout heading into next season, but it's thought that they are keeping close tabs on Bastoni ahead of the summer window.

Man Utd could pursue Yan Diomande if they qualify for Europe

It is expected to be a busy summer at Old Trafford, with Manchester United expected to bolster several key areas of the squad, especially in the engine room.

Sky Sports now claim the Red Devils will try to sign at least two midfielders, but are also monitoring attacking reinforcements, with in-demand RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande among the names mentioned.

The 19-year-old is said to be high on United's left-wing targets list, as he fits the profile of attacker they are looking for, but much will depend on whether they get back into Europe.

Diomande has been impressive for the Bundesliga side, contributing towards 17 goals so far this season, and such form could see his asking price rise to in excess of £xx million.
