Brentford’s Michael Kayode is attracting interest from both Manchester clubs, while Dusan Vlahovic could depart Juventus in summer. Betting angle: expect Kayode odds to shorten for a Manchester move and consider value on Vlahovic joining the Premier League as his contract runs down — markets likely to shift if injuries persist or Juventus confirm exit plans.
Premier League transfer roundup: Kayode, Vlahovic, Goretzka, Tonali and more
Michael Kayode draws Manchester interest
Brentford wing-back Michael Kayode has emerged as a top target for Manchester United and Manchester City after an impressive first full season in the Premier League. The 21-year-old Italy U21 international has made headlines for his long throws and attacking output. Brentford signed him permanently for around £15m following a loan, but any suitor should expect a price tag north of £50m. Several European heavyweights have also been tracking his progress.
Dusan Vlahovic monitored by Premier League suitors
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is entering the final six months of his contract, putting him on the radar of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. The Serbia international has struggled with injuries this season but remains a proven goalscorer — 46 goals in 117 Serie A appearances. Interest from within Italy, including AC Milan, persists, but the Premier League is a realistic destination if Juventus allow him to move on.
Midfield and defensive moves to watch
Leon Goretzka could be a free-agent coup for Arsenal
Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka is available as a free agent in the summer, and Arsenal are among the clubs showing serious interest. The 31-year-old has attracted attention from across Europe — Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Juventus included — but Goretzka’s stated desire to test himself in the Premier League could tilt negotiations in Arsenal’s favor.
Sandro Tonali may consider exit if Newcastle miss Champions League
Italy international Sandro Tonali could push for a move away from Newcastle United if the club fails to secure UEFA Champions League football. The midfielder has been monitored by several top clubs and could become a hot summer commodity if Newcastle’s European prospects falter.
Confirmed and near-confirmed moves
Bournemouth to make Álex Jiménez signing permanent

Market and betting notes
Short-term market movements are likely around players with expiring contracts (Vlahovic, Goretzka) and homegrown breakout talents (Kayode). Punters should monitor official club confirmations and injury updates closely; contract expiries and medical bulletins typically cause the sharpest odds shifts.
