Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke continues to see his list of
admirers grow, and following Eden Hazard’s ‘join me’ plea on Saturday, Spurs now look like making the first move.
If Benteke were to arrive at White Hart Lane, what would that mean for homegrown hero Harry Kane, a £50million target for Manchester United?
And what about the rest of the Premier League? Who will be making the biggest splashes this summer, and who will be going under the radar?

And what about the rest of the Premier League? Who will be making the biggest splashes this summer, and who will be going under the radar?
Los Che are on the lookout for a goalkeeper after Diego Alves suffered a serious injury on the final day of the season.
And apparently they identified Valdes, who signed an 18-month deal at United in January, as their chief target
But when enquiring about the former Barcelona keeper, they were told in no uncertain terms by United that they have no intention of selling.
His French side have put an improved deal on the table for Bielsa to remain their boss and the details have been agreed.
But now that Unai Emery has committed his future to Sevilla, it is becoming apparent that the Hammers are running short of options to succeed Sam Allardyce.
Bilic is favourite, but Bielsa wants to find out if he is back in the frame before committing himself to Marseille.
Bilic is beginning to look a strong contender now that other names – such as Rafa Benitez, David Moyes and Emery – have dropped out of the race completely.
But Swansea boss Garry Monk and his predecessor at the Welsh club, Michael Laudrup, are outsiders who could yet be considered more seriously.
Deal Done
What’s done deal klaxon in German? Anyone?
Anyway, over in the Bundesliga, Schalke have cashed in on Greek international centre-back Kyriakos Papadopoulos.
Once considered one of the brightest young defenders across Europe, injuries have plagued him in recent seasons and he spent last term on loan with Bayer Leverkusen.
Although he managed only 14 league appearances (he’s made just 28 in the last three seasons) Bayer have still decided to stump up and sign the 23-year-old on a permanent deal.
He has signed a deal until 2020 at the BayArena.
The Saints have emerged as favourites to sign the Barcelona midfielder who has been told this week by boss Luis Enrique that he can go.
Song, 27, still has one season remaining on his contract with the Catalan club and spent the last campaign on loan at West Ham.
He became a firm favourite at Upton Park but has returned to Spain to discover if he has a future under Enrique.
With doubts over the future of Morgan Schneiderlin, Saints are in the market for another midfield enforcer with their France international already having expressed a desire to test himself in the Champions League next season.
But the Etihad hierarchy are aware of suggestions that Pogba may stay in Turin for another year so that he can get a dream move to Barcelona once the Catalan club’s transfer ban has been lifted.
And that has prompted City to look at Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Bender. The 26-year-old has attracted interest from both Arsenal and Manchester United in recent years.
Robin van Persie is set for showdown talks with Louis van Gaal about his Manchester United future.
Dutch striker Van Persie is planning to tell his United boss he won’t be happy with a role as an impact player from the substitutes’ bench after seeing Radamel Falcaostruggle last season.
Clubs in England, Italy, Holland, Turkey, Qatar and the United States are all interested in the 31-year-old.
Sunday Mirror Sport has learned from a source close to Van Persie that he will not decide on his future until he has spoken to Van Gaal.
The former Arsenal star believes he can play at the top level for at least another five years.
Van Persie, who has just 12 months left on his £200,000-a-week contract, said: “Have I spoken to Louis? I am sorry, but I can’t go into that at this moment.
“Could I cope with a similar situation like Falcao? I don’t think I could.”
But where next for the Brazilian full-back?
He’s been heavily-linked with Manchester United but speaking in Berlin following the 3-1 win over Juventus, the 32-year-old talked up following in the footsteps of Cafu….and heading to AC Milan.
Indeed, Alves revealed that he already has an offer on the table from Serie A.
“It would be a pleasure to join Milan,” Alves told Sky Sport Italia.
“There is a proposal from Italy and I will evaluate all the alternatives before deciding.”
De Gea wants to leave United and has already said his goodbyes to the club’s coaching staff.
The Red Devils remain reluctant to sell one of their prize assets however, and are intent on making the Spaniard see out the final year of his contract at Old Trafford.
However with United keen on Benzema, and Rafa Benitez reportedly set to start with Cristiano Ronaldo as his centre forward next season and not the Frenchman, its suggested a deal may be done.
Arsenal have ended their interest in Morgan Schneiderlin, according to the Daily Mail.
The Gunners are unwilling to stump up Southampton’s £25m asking price.
Arsene Wenger is assessing alternative options, with Schneiderlin’s Saints teammate Victor Wanyama understood to be on Arsenal’s radar.
Also, Arsenal will let Joel Campbellleave for around £6m this summer, reckon Marca.
Real Sociedad and David Moyes are said to be interested.
Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for a new centre-back following Dejan Lovren’s disastrous debut season at Anfield.
Umtit is vallued at £11m and is also a target of Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
