10:55 UPDATE: Man Utd want Chelsea ace
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea but Man Utd will not sign big names this summer, Guillem Balague claims.
“What I’m hearing is they want to get players, the best players, of the Premier League away from the top six,” he said.
“And they want young [players] as well. Yes, they’re interested in [Callum] Hudson-Odoi, but not just him.
“Centre-backs are not a priority, it seems, but I think they will get at least one. They just need quality throughout the side.
“They will look for those kind of players who can run, who are strong physically, and got quality.
“They will not go for the bigger names, the biggest names. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not want superstars, so forget about that.
“It’s about getting a very tough squad, mentally and physically, and it will require a few windows at least.”

10:30 UPDATE: Hazard to Liverpool on?
Liverpool would sign Eden Hazard in a heartbeat if he’s available for £100m this summer, Reds hero Mark Lawrenson claims.
“It’s not necessarily bridges burned, I just don’t think they need him [Coutinho] back,” Lawrenson told Goal.
“I think Coutinho needs to be the number one player in the team, which is why he has struggled a little bit at Barca.
“If Chelsea suddenly said give us £100m for Eden Hazard, you would take him in a heartbeat. But I think he might be learning Spanish as we speak!”

09:50 UPDATE: Jose Mourinho Man Utd dig
Jose Mourinho has aimed a sly dig at Manchester United and chief Ed Woodward by admitting he would have liked similar backing to that of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp at Manchester City and Liverpool.
“I would love to go to a club and be in conditions to do what Jurgen and Pep did,” Mourinho told beIN Sports.
“And when Pep was not happy with the full-backs he had [at City in 2016-17] and in the [next] summer bought four [three] full-backs that he liked.
“When he bought one goalkeeper like Claudio Bravo and was not happy with Claudio Bravo, the next season he bought Ederson.
“When Jurgen is in the club and wins absolutely nothing for three-and-a-half years and he still has the trust, still has the confidence, still has the conditions to try to keep going and going.”

08:25 UPDATE: Liverpool to sign three
Liverpool hero Mark Lawrenson reckons Jurgen Klopp will sign three players this summer.
“I don’t think you can say that any team is lacking in areas if they get 97 points. They have over-performed,” he told Goal.
“They might need another left-back to cover Andy Robertson, they are alright at centre-back, they are alright at right-back. Maybe a bit more of an attacking midfield player, or a No. 10.
“I don’t think he will sign many players. I wouldn’t expect more than two or three maximum.
“We have also seen with Klopp that he will wait until the right player is available. He just doesn’t like getting players for the sake of it.
“Recruitment now is massive at this level and his recruitment of players has been outstanding.”

08:00 UPDATE: Hazard told to leave Chelsea
Eden Hazard should LEAVE Chelsea because he deserves a move to Real Madrid, Glenn Hoddle claims.
“I think Chelsea will get into the Champions League, whether Hazard will be there with them,” Hoddle told TSN.
“I feel it might be the right time for him personally, not for Chelsea or the Premier League, but for him to go to Real Madrid if that offer is there on the table for him.
“He deserves to play in that team. They’ve got a re-build going on as well.
“I personally would love to see him play in the Premier League but I’ve got a feeling he might move.
“Chelsea, at the moment, there’s something missing but without Hazard in the team and all the hope [goes].”
