Latest transfer news today: Man Utd plot surprise move for Arsenal star as West Ham eye £52m midfielder

Premier League clubs appear to be gearing up towards a busy summer of transfer activity despite a couple of months still remaining of the current campaign, and several top-flight giants have been linked with big-money moves.

There are full-backs aplenty, while one London club is already plotting a deal to sign a rival midfielder.

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

Arsenal eye Ben White replacement in Vanderson

Arsenal appear to be looking to upgrade their right-back position ahead of the summer transfer window, and a new target has emerged as a potential Ben White successor.

According to reports, the Gunners have several names on their shortlist, including AS Monaco defender Vanderson, who has also been courted by arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

The 24-year-old is currently out injured, but has remained an integral part of the starting lineup when fit, so it remains to be seen if the Ligue 1 outfit would be open to a sale.

Under contract until summer 2028, the Brazilian is valued in the region of just £17 million, which would represent something of a bargain this summer.

Man Utd plot surprise Myles Lewis-Skelly move

Meanwhile, there could also be further outgoings at the Emirates Stadium, and Manchester United are one team looking to capitalise on a potential squad refresh.

The Red Devils are now plotting a surprise move for versatile Gunners ace Myles Lewis-Skelly, with the 19-year-old struggling for minutes this season, per TEAMtalk.

It's claimed that United are already ‘laying the groundwork' for a new left-back, and the young Hale End academy product has now appeared on their radar.

It remains to be seen how much Lewis-Skelly would cost if a deal moves forward, while Fulham's Antonee Robinson and Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell are also on their shortlist.

West Ham interested in Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos

And finally, on the other side of London, West Ham United could look to repeat a familiar transfer as they hold interest in yet another Chelsea star.

Reports suggest the Hammers are among several teams keen to make a move for Blues midfielder Andrey Santos this summer, having already brought in Axel Disasi on loan in January – a deal they are keen to make permanent this summer.

It's thought that Santos' development has alerted a number of clubs, including Serie A giants AC and Inter Milan, as well as Premier League rivals Man Utd.

Chelsea have a stacked engine room and face navigating around Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), so selling the 21-year-old Brazilian may come under consideration despite rating him highly, with his value estimated at around £52 million.
