Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd identify top target, Chelsea exit update, Arsenal readying bid

08:10 UPDATE: Man Utd top target revealed

Manchester United have made Milan Skriniar their top target this summer.

The Independent claim the Inter Milan centre-back tops the Red Devils’ wishlist, with Ed Woodward ready to spend.

Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly and Sampdoria’s Joachim Andersen are also targets for United, however, Skriniar is the No 1 choice.

The Independent add that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already voiced his opinion to the United board over potential singings.

07:45 UPDATE: Hazard to Real Madrid update

Real Madrid will not sign Eden Hazard if they splash the cash and land Neymar this summer, transfer expert Ian McGarry claims.

“I guess a problem for Madrid is maybe half of their squad is ageing and needs to be upgraded,” he said on The Transfer Window podcast.

“Spending so much money on one player would be a little bit of a gamble, but at the same time they’ve got some very good young players coming through, so bringing Neymar in, I suppose you could look at the positive side of the encouragement factor.

“This is very bad news for Eden Hazard, because I don’t see Hazard and Neymar going to the Bernabeu given the similarities between the two players.

“So that would be an interesting one in the mix, would PSG look to replace Neymar with Eden Hazard, who of course began his career in France?

“So the fact that Madrid are vry serious about it doesn’t surprise me.”

07:20 UPDATE: Arsenal eye bid

Arsenal are ready to move for Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega this summer.

The Mirror claim Unai Emery is a huge fan of the 30-year-old after working with him at Sevilla and Valencia – and he’s keen to reunite in London.

Arsenal tried to sign Banega in January, however, a deal wasn’t agreed.

The Gunners will have to cough up around £17m for Banega this summer.
