Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United dominate the latest round-up of transfer gossip ahead of what could be a busy summer.

All three clubs have endured highly disappointing seasons and are now playing catch-up against surprise pace-setters Leicester City and Tottenham.

Arsenal, Liverpool and United have the financial strength to make the changes needed, and it could be that planning is already underway.

Here’s the latest gossip…

Toni Kroos receives transfer offer to join Arsenal – report

Arsenal look to have made a transfer offer to Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos.

The Germany international has struggled to reach top form in La Liga this season, but remains regarded as one of the best in the world in his position.

Arsenal are in need of new signings in that area, and look to be one of the clubs on alert as Kroos, 26, could be sold this summer.

Liverpool may have to pay for Christian Benteke exit – report

Liverpool want to sell flop striker Christian Benteke this summer, but it may prove expensive.

West Ham are among the clubs chasing the Belgian, but it is doubted that many teams could afford his £120,000-a-week wages.

For Liverpool to let Benteke go, they may end up having to continue to pay a certain chunk of his salary.

Manchester United target Marquinhos could request exit – report

Manchester United transfer target Marquinhos could ask to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

The talented Brazilian defender, 21, has failed to establish himself as a regular in his time at the Parc des Princes.

United have been linked with Marquinhos before, and could now be on alert for one of Europe’s top young centre-backs as he seeks a move for more first-team football.
