Man City release statement on Erling Haaland claims
Manchester City have categorically denied claims that Erling Haaland is exploring a move to Real Madrid.
It comes after prospective presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme sensationally claimed Haaland had agreed to a move.
City said in a statement: “The stories which have emerged from Spain regarding the future of Erling Haaland are untrue.
“There is no chance of this happening and there is no contractual clause to enable it.
“We are considering legal action for the use of our player image in this context.”
Man Utd deal already done
Manchester United's second signing of the summer is already in place.
The Red Devils are expected to complete the signing of Cristian Orozco next month, when the midfielder turns 18.
A deal was agreed between United and Orozco’s current club Fortaleza CEIF last September.
But the teenager midfielder was not able to officially move to Old Trafford due to being 17 years old at the time, and he will turn 18 in July.
At that point he will officially be able to move to Manchester.
United scouts were impressed with Orozco and the youngster was shown around Carrington and Old Trafford in December last year.
Tottenham submit bid for Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke
Tottenham have reportedly made an offer to Brighton for defender Jan Paul van Hecke.
The proposal has been waved off by Brighton, as it fell short of their valuation, as per The Athletic.
Van Hecke is admired by Roberto De Zerbi from their time together at Brighton.
The Dutchman has one year left on his contract, meaning Brighton are at risk of losing him on a free transfer.
Arsenal pushing for Jeremy Monga deal
Arsenal are reportedly pushing to sign youngster Jeremy Monga from Leicester City.
The winger was a breakthrough star for Leicester and one of the only bright sparks from a dismal season that saw the Foxes get relegated.
Monga is expected to leave the club, with Fabrizio Romano claiming Arsenal is a likely destination.

Arsenal make Morgan Rogers contact as transfer looms
Arsenal have reportedly made contact with Morgan Rogers' camp over a potential transfer.
The Aston Villa ace is being linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer.
Rogers has impressed since joining Villa, and isn't actively looking for a transfer.
Arsenal have emerged as a candidate for his signature and according to Fabrizio Romano, are exploring the possibility of signing him.
He said: “Rogers is definitely on Arsenal's list, but they are not alone. Arsenal must also determine which winger is their priority target among several options being considered this summer.
“Any move would be expensive. Rogers recently signed a new deal, Aston Villa will be playing Champions League football, and the club are very satisfied with the direction of the project."
Elliot Anderson bid rejected by Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest have reportedly rejected a bid for Elliot Anderson from Manchester City.
The midfielder, who had been on Manchester United's radar, is expected to leave Forest during the summer transfer window.
He's admired by City and would be open to joining the domestic double winners.
As per The Athletic, City have submitted an opening bid, but it fell short of Forest's valuation.
It's believed Forest are after in excess of £100million for the Englishman's signature.
He would become the latest midfielder to be sold for more than £100m, following the likes of Declan Rice, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
