Manchester United are set to make a move for Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke, while Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool eye Barcelona's Pedro.
UNITED STEP UP BENTEKE INTEREST
The Sun on Sunday says that Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke is next on Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal’s hitlist after the stunning capture of Bastian Schweinsteiger.
After Villa captain Fabian Delph decided to snub a move to Manchester City, Tim Sherwood will be hoping that his formidable striker will be the next man to reject a move to the north west.
Van Gaal's sights are now set on adding reinforcements to the forward department with the outgoing Robin van Persie and exit of Radamel Falcao earlier in the summer.
Since rediscovering his goalscoring touch last season, Benteke has notched up an impressive 42 goals in all competitions and could be the ideal fit to lead the line for LVG.
TRIO BOOSTED BY PEDRO NEWS
According to the Sunday Express, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have been put on red alert following the news that Barcelona have reduced Pedro's buy-out clause from £107million to just £21.5million.
The Barcelona winger spent the majority of last season on the bench and despite signing a new contract with the Catalan giants until 2019, the addition of Atletico Madrid winger Arda Turan has moved the Spaniard further down the pecking order, with Pedro admitting that his position is "obviously delicate".
Arsenal have reportedly been long-terms suitors for the 27-year-old, but Liverpool and Chelsea are also circling with the news that the player's buyout clause has been drastically reduced.
