Transfer News: Benteke's Liverpool move off, Man Utd mega swoop, Arsenal shock striker bid

Louis van Gaal will make another attempt to prise Gareth Bale away from Real Madrid, according to the Sunday People.

Manchester United’s Dutch boss has admitted a "surprise" signing is on the cards before the summer transfer window closes.

And that means the world’s most expensive footballer could be on his way to Old Trafford.

Christian Benteke could call off his move to Liverpool, report the Sunday People.

The Aston Villa striker, whose £32.5m release clause has been triggered by the Reds, is thought to favour a club that can give him Champions League football.

This could cause a delay to his Anfield transfer going through as the Belgium international Benteke is hoping one of the top four can offer him a platform on the biggest club stage of them all.

Arsenal are weighing up a shock bid for Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko.

Boss Arsene Wenger knows he needs more firepower and the Bosnian has cropped up in talks with his team.

The Emirates chief is worried his team are relying too heavily on Olivier Giroud up front as Danny Welbeck struggles with a knee injury.

Chelsea star Oscar has insisted he has no interest in joining Juventus.

Juventus had hoped to sign the Brazil international this summer and install him as their new no.10.

And when asked by the Evening Standard if he had considered a move to the Serie A champions, Oscar said: "No. I know there has been a lot of talk about Juventus, but I am very, very happy at Chelsea.

Angel di Maria will have to formally hand in a transfer request if he wants out of Manchester United, report the Mail.

With his wife unhappy in Manchester and Paris St-Germain keen to sign the Premier League’s record signing, the winger’s career at United could come to an end after just one season.

But despite signing one wide player in Memphis Depay, United boss Louis van Gaal still sees Di Maria as an integral part of his first-team squad.

HITMAN: Christian Benteke is stalling on a move to Liverpool [GETTY]

Jose Mourinho has warned he will not stop bidding for John Stones despite Everton’s claim he is not for sale, report theMirror.

The Chelsea boss has already had a £20m offer for the 21-year-old centre-back rejected.

But he insists while Roberto Martinez has stated publicly that Stones is not for sale, that is NOT what the Toffees have told Chelsea.

Mourinho said: “At the moment Everton say, ‘We don’t accept this bid’. They don’t say, ‘We don’t accept any bid.’"

The Sunday People report how Stoke are closing in on a £13.5m deal for Ukrainian winger Andriy Yarmolenko.

Hughes confirmed his interest in the 25-year-old Dynamo Kiev flyer after seeing his stars beat a Singapore Select XI 2-0 in the third-place play-off game at the Barclays Asia Trophy.
