Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis wants Morgan Gibbs-White to join Manchester City instead of Tottenham if he leaves the club this summer.

Chelsea have enquired about the availability of Xavi Simons, who is open to the possibility of a move to Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United hope to avoid a 'doomsday scenario' as they look to swiftly get rid of four out-of-favour players before the summer transfer window winds down.
