Man United make first move for Jarrad Branthwaite
Manchester United have made an opening bid for Jarrad Branthwaite... one that will be swiftly rejected.

Tottenham reject AC Milan bid for Emerson Royal
Talking of right wing-backs, Tottenham have rejected AC Milan’s opening bid for Emerson Royal.
The Brazilian is a key target for Milan this summer, and Spurs are happy to cash in.
However, an opening offer of £17m (€20m) is deemed not enough, according to reports in Brazil, for a player who costs £30m on not too long ago.
There is hope a deal will be reached, though, with Spurs holding out for closer to £21m (€25m).

Latest on Arsenal interest in Viktor Gyokeres
Arsenal have been told they must pay up to land Viktor Gyokeres this summer.

According to The Sun, prolific Sporting Lisbon forward Gyokeres is on the Emirates Stadium radar having been scouted plenty over the last few months.
However, the former Coventry star has an £85m release clause in his current contract in Portugal and Sporting do not want to sell him for much less.
It is said that Arsenal would prefer a deal around the £50-60m mark.
