18:55: Antonio Conte wants Virgil van Dijk and Fernando Llorente to follow Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea, reports claim.

A deal for Everton’s star striker is being dragged out while the two clubs try to agree a fee.

Additionally, Bleacher Report claim the Italian boss still wants to reunite with ex-Juventus forward Llorente.

Conte is keen to see a deal struck for 32-year-old Llorente this summer and will ask Chelsea chiefs to make a new offer to Swansea.

A more cautious approach, meanwhile, is being taken over first-choice target at centre-half Van Dijk.

Following Liverpool’s alleged illegal pursuit that caused them to publicly apologise, Chelsea are wary of remaining on good terms with the Saints as they wait to see if Van Dijk requests to leave.

18.45: Chelsea boss Antonio Conte will raid his former club Juventus for star defender Leonardo Bonuccu this summer, according to former Arsenal striker Paul Mariner.
Chelsea have been linked with a mega-money move for the Italy defender, who has already played under Conte at both club and international level.
Mariner sees a deal happening and thinks  for the 30-year-old.
"I think Conte will get him, I think Abramovich will help him to get him," he said on ESPN FC.
"I think he'll go, I think it would be a great move. I would love to see him in the Premier League."
18:30: Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is wanted by several Premier League clubs.
The 24-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, is keen to continue playing first team football and isn’t short of offers.
According to the Daily Mail, Leicester, West Brom and Huddersfield Town are all interested in a deal for Johnstone.

Fabinho, who can play at both right-back and in defensive midfield, is one of a number of players linked with a move to Manchester United.
Michallik says the 23-year-old prefers to play on the right side of defence but would now unseat atnonio valenci from that position.
"I like Fabinho, that's where Fabinho wants to play (at right-back)," Michallik said on ESPN FC.
"But there's no chance that he plays at right-back ahead of Valencia."
17:55: Swansea have completed their first signing of the summer, landing former Heerenveen goalkeeper Erwin Mulder on a free transfer. The 28-year-old has signed a three-year deal at the Liberty Stadium.
17:35: Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reportedly has only one striker on his radar - Kylian Mbappe.

Monaco’s teenage sensation is an optimistic summer target for the Reds with Real Madrid, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain also keen. 

Should the Reds miss out though, the Liverpool Echo claim Klopp will instead stick with his current options up front.

Landing Mbappe would be too big an opportunity to pass up, but a new striker is not a priority at Anfield.

Liverpool would be prepared to bid for the France international, although a switch to England is unexpected.

Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have both been linked, but the Reds have not shown interest in either.

16:50: Bayern Munich will struggle to sign Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal, according to former goalkeeper Oliver Kahn.
"Of course [Alexis Sanchez is a target], but in today's professional football it is not that easy to get the big transfers - the so-called 'grenade' - even for Bayern,” he told the Evening Standard.
"It is not easy to get a new [Franck] Ribery or a new [Arjen] Robben, because other clubs don't necessarily have to sell their players because they have enormous amounts of money.
"They can make their players stay at the club and that's what's making it more difficult for Bayern to buy to
