The Premier League is now nearing its conclusion for another season, and it’s set up to be a thrilling finale at both ends of the table. The title race remains unresolved, while we still don’t know who will join Sheffield United and Burnley in the Championsh­ip, with the current bottom two looking as though they are headed back down.

At this stage of the season, there is little room for slip-ups, particular­ly at the top, and all eyes will be on Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City over the coming month to see whether they can hold their nerve.

The race for Europe is wide open, and at the bottom the likes of Luton Town, Nottingham Forest and Everton are striving to avoid the drop.

In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news surroundin­g the Premier League...

Former West Ham United star Nigel Reo-Coker has told Manchester United to consider signing Hammers star Lucas Paquetá.

“We talk about the players Man United have got rid of,” he said on BBC Radio 5 Live’s The Friday Football Social.

“If they had a plan and a direction, there are players out there they could get and then build for the future with some younger players.

“Another one out there is Paqueta at West Ham. He’s one who I think can get into any team and is one of the few players now in the modern game that could win the Ballon d’Or down the line.”

Liverpool, meanwhile, have reportedly agreed a deal to land Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim.

That’s according to Football Insider, who claim talks are ongoing between the Reds and the Portuguese boss’ agent.

The report claims the deal has been agreed ‘in principle’, and that Amorim will make the move in the summer. Liverpool have been searching for a manager since Jurgen Klopp announced his departure ahead of the end of the season, while Xabi Alonso has confirmed he will be staying at Bayer Leverkusen.
