      All but one of Gareth Southgate’s regular England midfielders have been linked with transfers this summer.
      West Ham United captain Rice is expected to leave the club this summer with bids anticipated following their Europa Conference League triumph.
      Arsenal currently lead the race as they chase a £100million deal for the 24-year-old, who is entering the final year of his contract.
      Mount is also into the final year of his deal at Chelsea and has failed to agree terms on a new contract.

      The Blues are now looking to cash in and value Mount at around £70m, with Manchester United the frontrunners to sign him.
      Elsewhere, four other Three Lions midfielders are set to change clubs ahead of the new season – Jude Bellingham, James Maddison, Kalvin Phillips and James Ward-Prowse.
      Bellingham’s move has already been confirmed as he prepares to join Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund.
      The German side will receive £85m up front and £27m in add-ons for the teenager, with a medical and official announcement to come.

      Maddison is set to be included in a mass exodus of players from relegated Leicester City.
      A host of clubs have reportedly taken an interest in Maddison, including Champions League hopefuls Arsenal and Newcastle United.
      Another relegated player in demand is Southampton captain Ward-Prowse.
      Four clubs are in for the £40million-rated midfielder, who has also been identified as a potential target by Liverpool.

      Although less likely to move than some others, Phillips could leave Manchester City after a difficult first season with the club.
      Phillips made just two Premier League starts for City and is on West Ham’s shortlist to replace Rice in midfield.
      One England midfielder who will not change clubs this summer, though, is Jordan Henderson.
      Despite Liverpool’s midfield overhaul, Henderson has two years left on his deal and is expected to remain at Anfield beyond the summer.

      Mount is expected to leave Stamford Bridge after failing to agree a new deal as he enters the final year of his current contract.
      United are understood to be the frontrunners to land the England star as they remain in talks over a move.
      Premier League rivals Liverpool had also been in the hunt for Mount but are now thought to have admitted defeat.
      Despite United edging closer to signing Mount, Carragher believes one of his England team-mates is a “better fit” for the club.

      Carragher has called on Erik ten Hag to sign West Ham United captain Declan Rice instead.
      He told Metro.co.uk: “Mason Mount is an upgrade on Christian Eriksen in terms of where he plays.
      “But going back to Declan Rice, United are one of the few teams at the top who don’t play 4-3-3, it’s usually two midfielders with Bruno Fernandes.
      “Declan Rice and Mason Mount, they are very different players and it shouldn’t be one or the other but when you look at what Manchester United have got right now, I actually think Declan Rice would be a better fit for them. A lot more expensive of course.

      “I do think he (Mount) is a good player and I like him, I wanted Liverpool to get him. Lots of coaches have picked him and like him. 
      “There is already a good player in there but Declan Rice would suit United more than Mason Mount in terms of how they set up.”
      Rice is also expected to change clubs this summer, with the Hammers anticipating bids following their Europa Conference League triumph.
      United are one of a number of clubs who have been linked with the 24-year-old, but Arsenal seem his most likely destination.
      The Three Lions star is said to have his heart set on the Gunners as they chase a £100million deal to sign him.

      Mount is expected to leave the Blues after 18 years after failing to agree terms on a new contract.
      With the 24-year-old entering the final year of his current deal, Chelsea are now set to part ways with the midfielder.
      United are understood to be the frontrunners to land his signature as talks continue over a deal.
      However, former Chelsea full-back Glen Johnson believes Mount would be better off joining Liverpool instead.

      Speaking to Betfred, he explained: “I am shocked that it looks as if Mason’s heading to Old Trafford.
      “I don’t believe that Manchester United needs Mason and I believe that it’s a weird move for the player as well. Manchester United is obviously a huge club, but they’re not nailed on to win anything.
      “I believe that Chelsea need to keep him and it would be strange to see them allow Mason to make the move to Manchester United.
      “If he was to leave Chelsea for another Premier League club, then I believe Liverpool would have suited him better.”

      Liverpool have been linked with Mount in recent weeks but are thought to have admitted defeat in the race to sign him.
      Jurgen Klopp’s side are reportedly now eyeing a deal to sign James Ward-Prowse from relegated Southampton as they continue their midfield overhaul.
      Mount endured a stop-start 2022/23 season due to injuries, with a pelvis issue sidelining him for much of the second half of the campaign.
      Despite that, United would welcome a player with 33 goals and 37 assists in 195 Chelsea appearances if they can complete the signing.

      The French giants have been left stunned after Mbappe delivered a letter vowing not to renew his contract.
      It means the World Cup-winner must be sold this summer, otherwise he can depart as a free agent next year.
      And PSG have no intention of losing their star man for nothing.
      CBS Sport claims the Ligue 1 champs were already exploring attacking targets before Mbappe’s bombshell.

      And one of those is Man United flop Sancho.
      The England international has failed to live up to billing at Old Trafford, scoring just 12 goals in 79 outings.

      Erik ten Hag delivered a warning to Sancho earlier this month after losing the FA Cup final.
      And Tottenham have been linked with a bid this summer, with Serie A winners Napoli thought to be interested too.

      And United fans believe they can take advantage by bringing Mbappe to Old Trafford in exchange.
      One said: “Switch for Mbappe? Who says no?”
      Another declared: “A swap deal and cash for Mbappe to United looks feasible.”
      One noted: “Swap deal for Mbappe we’ll even throw in money.”
      Another added: “Let’s do a swap please.” More

      Chelsea fans praise Mykhailo Mudryk with £88m transfer flop ready to make drastic career decision

      by

      CHELSEA fans have praised £88million transfer-flop Mykhailo Mudryk for his decision to play for Ukraine’s Under-21 side this summer.The Blues won the race to sign the highly-rated youngster in January despite long-term interest in him from rivals’ Arsenal.
      Mudryk largely found himself as a substitute last seasonCredit: Getty
      His time in West London has not gone to plan however, with the winger not registering a goal in his 15 Premier League appearances and contributing just two assists.
      The Telegraph report that Mudryk will make himself available for his country’s U21s European Championship side this summer in a bid to rediscover his form – which has impressed incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino.
      Mudryk is currently with the Ukraine senior squad as they prepare for their own European Championship qualifiers against North Macedonia on Friday night and against Malta next week.
      He started for Ukraine in their friendly against Germany yesterday which ended in a 3-3 draw.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      Despite turning 22 in January, the winger is eligible to play for Ukraine in the U21 championship – which starts next Wednesday and is being held in Georgia and Romania – as he was 21 when the season started.
      Chelsea will not stand in the winger’s way if he wants to play in the tournament given the limited minutes he has featured in since joining the club.

      He completed just one 90 minute game in the league this season.
      It is understood that Mudryk would like to maximise the minutes he plays this summer in a bid to find rhythm ahead of the upcoming 2023-24 season.

      And Chelsea fans have reacted positively to the news that Mudryk will play for his U21s.
      One fan said: “Mentality not to give up”
      Another said: “Keep fighting young man, eventually it will pay off!”
      While a third added: “Good lad. He needs to rebuild that confidence for sure”
      Ukraine’s U21s find themselves in Group B for the tournament in Georgia and Romania – the group includes Spain and Croatia as well as co-hosts Romania.
      If the winger is called up to the U21s he will no doubt be one of the star attractions at the tournament.
      England are in Group C and will play rivals’ Germany as well as the Czech Republic and Israel.
      A number of Premier League stars are part of England’s provisional squad, including: Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe, Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, Levi Colwill and Lewis Hall as well as Tottenham’s Oliver Skipp.
      England’s final squad will be announced tomorrow. More

      Premier League clubs on transfer red alert as Kylian Mbappe tells PSG he WON’T extend contract & could be sold in summer

      by

      KYLIAN MBAPPE has informed Paris Saint-Germain he will not extend his contract, reports suggest.Mbappe’s deal with PSG runs out in 2024 but there is a clause that could see him stay until 2025.

      The extra year, though, is a player option, which means it is up to the forward whether he wants to trigger it or not.
      According to L’Equipe, however, the star striker has sent the French champions a formal letter informing them that under no circumstances will he be activating that option.
      Therefore, the Parisians might have to sell the France international this summer to avoid losing him for free next year.
      Just yesterday PSG insisted the 24-year-old won’t be leaving the Parc des Princes in the upcoming transfer window.

      But Mbappe’s letter has turned things around and “everything is now open”.
      If the ex-Monaco star does not trigger the extra year he will be free to pen a pre-contract agreement with a club outside of France in January.
      Real Madrid were very keen to land Mbappe last summer before he signed his current PSG deal, which is worth a reported total of £500million throughout a three-year period.
      But Real are already set to splash a significant amount on Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham, who will be worth at least £100m.

      That means the Premier League’s biggest clubs could come knocking for Mbappe.
      Liverpool were previously linked with the Frenchman whereas Chelsea are desperate for a leader in attack.
      Newcastle could also invest their Saudi owners’ mega riches on one of the world’s best players.
      And Manchester United could be taken over by Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, who is keen to start his bid of restoring the club to the top by signing a top star.
      If Mbappe leaves then that means PSG could lose their entire star-studded frontline with Lionel Messi’s going to Inter Miami and Neymar on the verge of his own departure. More

      by

      The centre-back still struggled to meet expectations in north London in 2020 and underwent two more year-long loan stints to Nice and Marseille.
      That experience proved to be critical for the France international as he quickly transformed into Arsenal’s rock in defence immediately after his return in June.
      However, the 22-year-old couldn’t see this last year and thus had “doubts” about working with Arteta following a stunning stint with L’OM, where he enjoyed playing so much he considered staying.
      That is according to Saliba’s former boss Philippe Guillemet, who is the former director of Saint-Etienne’s academy centre.

      Guillemet told The Athletic: “He loved Marseille. It was a fantastic year.
      “Speaking to people close to him, he had doubts about Arsenal because there were some issues between him and the coach. Now he is happy in London.”
      However, Saliba has settled very well at Arsenal as he has become a prolific figure under Arteta.
      In fact, many argue the Gunners’ Premier League title charge came to an end when the defender got injured in March.

      That is why Arsenal have prioritised a new contract for the Frenchman ahead of pre-season.
      And the North Londoners have reportedly given in to Saliba’s demands to agree a new long-term deal.
      In fact, Arteta made it absolutely clear that the player is central to all of his long-term plans and must be kept at any cost. More
