The coronavirus pandemic has made the summer transfer window uncertain, but here are the rumours floating around Europe’s big leagues and beyond.
Arsenal go after Coutinho
Arsenal are said to be stepping up their efforts to try and sign Barcelona bust Philippe Coutinho, Le10 Sport reports.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta dreams of linking up with Coutinho, according to the report, with the club aiming to speak with his agent and sneak ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in the race to sign the attacking midfielder.

Arsenal, Man United to fight for Lemar?
AS is reporting that Manchester United chiefs have met with Thomas Lemar‘s agent ahead of a potential move for the Atletico Madrid star.
