Chelsea
Mourinho wants a keeper and Begovic appears to
be the main candidate. If he wants him and
Begovic can be persuaded to forsake first-team
football, expect that to be done.
He has also been linked with Everton's elegant
young defender John Stones but that is highly
unlikely, this summer at least.
Real Madrid's Raphael Varane is another central
defender Mourinho would love but there is no
willingness to do a deal at present so unless
there is a dramatic alteration of stance this can
be ruled out.
The big surprise is the sudden interest in
Radamel Falcao after his failure at Manchester
United. The Colombian will jump at the chance
to see his career revived and that is more or
less a done deal.
One more maybe? A holding midfield player?
Alex Song is an outsider from Barcelona, as is
Zenit St Petersburg's Axel Witsel. Both would be
a surprise, especially with AC Milan closing on
Witsel.

Manchester City
Liverpool's Sterling appears to be the current top
priority and with Roberto Firmino arriving at
Anfield, expect this saga to end sooner or later.
The big one for City would be Juventus's Paul
Pogba - but they may miss out on this prime
target.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in the
man Sir Alex Ferguson let escape from
Manchester United and while City can compete
all the way financially, they remain behind on
worldwide stature.
It would be a massive coup if they pull it off but
it is hard to see it happening.
So could it be that Arsenal's Wilshere would be
an alternative? The England midfielder almost
seems surgically attached to Arsenal and his
own noises do not suggest he wants a move, but
City have proved money talks in the past,
especially to the Gunners after signing the likes
of Samir Nasri, Emmanuel Adebayor, Gael Clichy
and Kolo Toure.
Wolfsburg's Kevin de Bruyne is also on the radar
and no doubt he will receive a glowing reference
from his Belgium captain Vincent Kompany.
Another who, if City really push for the deal, you
can see arriving at Etihad Stadium.

Arsenal
Arsenal's big deal is just about done in the shape
of goalkeeper Cech from Chelsea - a perfect
signing and the type that could give them that
extra push they need.
Arsene Wenger still needs to strengthen in
central midfield and Sporting Lisbon's William
Carvalho looks ideal, if somewhat pricey at
£28.5m.
The signing of Alexis Sanchez surely proved the
wisdom of the occasional major investment and
Wenger certainly has the cash to do the deal if
he wants.
Arsenal were linked with Monaco's Geoffrey
Kondogbia but he has gone to Inter Milan, so
Wenger may have to move fast to get ahead of
Monaco if they target Carvalho as a
replacement.
Juventus's powerful Chilean Arturo Vidal is
another within Arsenal's financial compass and
Wenger is an admirer.
Real Madrid's Karim Benzema has also been
touted but there would surely be interest from
elsewhere if he was available and that's a long
shot.
And Zlatan Ibrahimovic? Wouldn't that be
wonderful - but hard to see.
Manchester United
Louis van Gaal has cash to splash and would
happily part with £40m of it to sign Tottenham's
Harry Kane - but that looks very unlikely with the
player himself stating he is happy at Spurs and
chairman Daniel Levy ready to slam the door in
United's faces.
Will he have better luck with Spurs keeper Lloris?
Possibly. The Frenchman is not quite as
attached to Spurs as Kane, keen for Champions
League football and the perfect replacement for
soon-to-be-departed De Gea.
He will cost a lot but Van Gaal apparently has
£150m to spend. Cech would have been the
other ideal purchase but the lure of Arsenal and
staying in London swayed that one.
United are in the market for a centre-half and
the surprise name has been Real Madrid's
Sergio Ramos. A pantomime villain of a
footballer but a magnificent defender.
There has been talk of a straight swap for De
Gea and of Ramos having a lengthy affection for
United. This falls in to the "believe it when you
see it" category as Real have no desire to sell
and there is also a new contract for Ramos to
negotiate. United have proved a useful lever in
talks in the past, as Cristiano Ronaldo proved.
Valencia's Argentine Nicolas Otamendi is a more
realistic defensive target and that deal is there
to be done.
Bastian Schweinsteiger is another name of
interest and this could happen as he reaches the
conclusion of his Bayern Munich career. A
possibility but is he still the old authority?
Southampton's France international Morgan
Schneiderlin is another option.
Van Gaal will certainly be busy in the weeks
ahead - with that new goalkeeper right at the top
of his "in" tray.

Tottenham
More a question of keeping rather than signing in
the first instance. Hard to see any way Kane will
leave but a bit more of a doubt over Lloris, with
Manchester United after a keeper.
There will be plenty of outs too in the shape of
Aaron Lennon, Roberto Soldado, Paulinho,
Adebayor and Mousa Dembele.
This will mean striking reinforcements will be
needed and one target may well be West Brom's
Saido Berahino. There has already been
speculation about an offer of Lennon, Andros
Townsend and cash for the England Under-21
striker.
This may appeal to Baggies boss Tony Pulis and
Berahino has always given the impression he
wants bigger and better things.
Liverpool
It's been busy at Anfield, with Brazil's Firmino
the latest through the door at £29m. So what's
left?
Rodgers wants a new striker and his ideal choice
is Aston Villa's Christian Benteke - but that
£32.5m escape clause is currently too much. If
it drops, expect a deal, otherwise Liverpool will
look at Sevilla's Carlos Bacca and Zenit's
Salomon Rondon.

Tevez really down all man morale with that move..... Was thinking Juve will keep him...
