Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Pochettino eager to lure Lloris to PSG

David Luiz is set to be handed a fresh extension at Arsenal in order to help influence Mikel Arteta's young side, says <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/arsenal/david-luiz-contract-news-mikel-arteta-b1802204.html" target="_blank">The Independent</a>. The Brazilian is currently on a deal that expires at the end of the current campaign, with the Gunners typically offering only short-term deals to senior players over 30. But his attitude has impressed his manager, who will look to tie him down for the 2021-22 campaign at the Emirates Stadium.

Real Madrid are plotting a €90 million (£79mm/$109m) swoop for Erling Haaland - according to <a href="https://www.abc.es/deportes/real-madrid/abci-plan-real-madrid-para-fichar-haaland-202102140104_noticia.html?ref=https:%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2F" target="_blank">ABC</a>. Borussia Dortmund may be open to selling the Norwegian striker amid debts in excess of €70m (£61m/$65m), and the Blancos are willing to include Luca Jovic or Mariano Diaz in any final deal. However, several other top clubs have been heavily linked with Haaland, including Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.

Real Madrid are reportedly desperate to sign Jules Kounde as the risk of losing both Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos grows, via <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/14040591/man-utd-kounde-transfer-barcelona-real-madrid/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>.

But with Varane and Ramos both possibly set to bring the curtain down on their career in the Spanish capital, Madrid will make such a defensive cornerstone a key buy.

Reports emanating from Canal+ in France had suggested that a big European club had agreed to buy the 21-year-old in the summer, with a fee in the region of €45 million (£39m/$55m) suggested.

It was not that long ago that Manchester United looked like genuine Premier League title contenders, but those hopes are drifting away quickly now. This United team is a work in progress; a project which at times this season, while they were sitting top of the table, looked to be progressing ahead of schedule. But if there was any doubt as to why United are prioritising signing a centre back this&nbsp;summer,&nbsp;then the first 45 minutes against West Brom emphasised the reasons. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/official-man-utd-must-sign-defensive-game-changer-genuine/1g1lsrshligf21fanbw63e28fw" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

Emiliano Martinez almost single-handedly preserved a point for Aston Villa&nbsp;on Saturday by making nine saves in a scoreless draw against Brighton. Martinez was sold to Villa by Arsenal for £20 million ($26.2m) over the summer and has since been in the form of his life, suggesting his former club may have let him go too easily despite the presence of quality first-choice shot-stopper Bernd Leno. Villa's goalkeeper has kept clean sheets in three of his past four appearances - including one against the Gunners - to help his side&nbsp;into eighth place in the Premier League table.
