Manchester United could make a move for Andre Silva if Edinson Cavani departs this summer, according to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/14136853/man-utd-eintracht-frankurt-andre-silva-transfer-cavani/">the Sun</a>. Silva's agent, Jorge Mendes, is looking to seal a move for his client as Eintracht Frankfurt prepare a sale in an effort to seal a permanent deal for Luka Jovic. And Man Utd may be one club in the market for Silva, as they'll be pushing to sign a forward if the club opts not to pick up Cavani's option this summer.

Tottenham will turn towards Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope if Mauricio Pochettino and Paris Saint-Germain make a move for Hugo Lloris, reports <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9291923/Tottenham-target-Nick-Pope-replace-Hugo-Lloris-leaves.html">the Daily Mail</a>.

Pochettino and PSG are keen on a move for Lloris and, should it come to pass, Spurs will push to sign Pope, who also has the attention of West Ham.

Dele Alli's one-goal, two-assist performance in Tottenham's 4-0 Europa League romp on Wednesday convinced Jose Mourinho that he may soon hold a full-time place in the lineup. Alli, once a Spurs cornerstone under Mauricio Pochettino,&nbsp;had been frozen out of&nbsp;Mourinho's team for much of the campaign and nearly left in January before the manager&nbsp;nixed a deadline loan move. Given a rare opportunity to play extended minutes against Wolfsberger, Alli&nbsp;delivered an overhead kick to put Tottenham in front before showing the full extent of his passing abilities.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/it-is-coming-mourinho-hints-at-premier-league-return-for/a1cx6shssuqe1mi8jsfqumqdp" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted he is still in contact with Erling Haaland and refused to rule out Manchester United making a move for the Borussia Dortmund man. Solskjaer has a good relationship with the 20-year-old having managed him at Molde, and it is understood that the Red Devils tried to sign him in the 2020 January transfer window before he ultimately moved to the Bundesliga. A release clause in his contract would allow him to leave for €75 million (£65m) in the summer of 2022 and it has led to frenzied speculation about his future.

Tammy Abraham is not interested in extending his contract at Chelsea amid frequent transfer links with Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, <a href="https://theathletic.com/2407036/2021/02/24/chelseas-striker-situation-is-tricky-keeping-giroud-another-year-may-be-wise/" target="_blank">the Athletic</a> reports. Indeed, the striker wants to be a regular starter&nbsp;for his club and on the international stage with England and has seemingly not yet managed to fully convince Thomas Tuchel of his worth. The 23-year-old's contract expires in 2023 and the Blues may well decide to cash in in the summer, should Abraham not be a part of the German's long-term plans at Stamford Bridge.

Marcelo Bielsa explained what he meant after he claimed he would stay at Leeds until his "job&nbsp;is done" at Elland Road. The Argentine told <a href="https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/12227052/bielsa-3-0-flatters-us" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a> after his side's 3-0 win over Southampton: "I simply wanted to reflect that when there is a third of the league left to play for, that many games can offer conclusions that perhaps have influence in the final decisions. "In no way do I want to put myself in an advantageous position over the club. If the club offer me an extension and I delay it, that would seem as though the club was more interested in me than I am them, and that is not the case."
