Football transfer rumours: Kudus in and Son out at Spurs? Joe Gomez to Sunderland?
Liverpool are believed to be willing to let Joe Gomez leave Anfield this summer and there are no shortage of suitors for the England international. Sunderland, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham, Leeds, and Burnley have formed a disorderly queue for the 28-year-old who is valued at £30m. Despite not having done business with West Ham since 2011 because he does not get on with the club's owners, the Tottenham Hotspur chair Daniel Levy is prepared to bite the bullet in an effort to bring Mohammed Kudus to north London. The Ghanaian has an £85m release clause on his contract but Spurs are believed to be preparing to test the waters with a £50m lowball offer. The future of Son Heung-min at Tottenham Hotspur seems as up-in-the-air as Steph Houghton after that Leonardo Bonucci tackle during Soccer Aid on Sunday night but if the 32-year-old is to leave White Hart Lane after a decade of service, it will not be before his club's pre-season tour to south-east Asia later this summer. Spurs are scheduled to play Arsenal in Hong Kong on 31 July and have a friendly with Newcastle scheduled in Seoul three days later and given Son's huge popularity in his homeland, the tour's organisers have already signed him up for assorted off-field money-spinning activities. Fenerbahce and several Saudi Pro League clubs are rumoured to be interested in signing the Spurs skipper. Aston Villa's bean-counters have dusted off the club-branded pricing gun and slapped a tag of £40m on Jacob Ramsey as they bid to avoid falling foul of pesky Premier League profit and sustainability rules (PSR). With the 30 June deadline looming, we can probably expect to see various clubs selling kids nobody has ever heard of to each other for eye-watering sums in order to get their ducks in a row before the financial year ends but in Ramsey, Villa have a homegrown player whose sale will count as pure profit. The midfielder is currently the subject of interest from Tottenham and West Ham, who will no doubt leave it as late as possible to make their bids in order to try to force the player's price down. Having become frustrated in their efforts to sign Viktor Gyökeres due to Sporting's intransigence over their asking price for the Swedish striker, Arsenal remain hell-bent on buying Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig but have not ruled out the possibility of signing Ollie Watkins from Villa should they fail to land either of their two preferred strikers. Juventus are understood to have thrown their hat in the Gyökeres ring, having told the striker's representatives they are prepared to match his £11m per annum wage demands and are lining up a bid with which to tempt his stubborn Portuguese employers. Florian Wirtz has been booked in to run on a treadmill and cough for the Liverpool doctors later this week, while it looks like a matter of when, rather than if Milos Kerkez will complete his £40m move from Bournemouth to the Premier League champions. The arrival of the Hungarian international could prompt the departure of another Liverpool full-back to Madrid, with Andy Robertson the subject of ongoing interest from Atlético. We'll find out in due course if the Scotsman has been attending Spanish lessons with his good pal Trent Alexander-Arnold. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Fulham, Leeds and Sunderland are all scrambling to sign Strasbourg's Senegalese midfielder Habib Diarra, while the two newly promoted sides in that trio of clubs are also interested in signing Celtic's American centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers. Millwall defender Japhet Tanganga is also wanted by Sunderland, who will have to fight off interest from Millwall's bitter rivals Crystal Palace if they are to secure his signature.
