Robbie Purves | July 18, 2016

The summer transfer window officially opened on July 1st, and clubs have wasted no time chasing down their targets one by one, as they look to complete some of their business with the upcoming Premier League campaign fast approaching.

Mourinho eyes Allen

You would have to go back 52 years to find a player that directly switched from Manchester United to Liverpool, but according to reports, Joe Allen could end the record.

Francesco Guidolin’s Swansea City are keen to take Allen back to the Liberty Stadium, but United are now reportedly in pole position to seal the Welshman’s signature. The playmaker impressed at Euro 2016, operating as the heartbeat of Wales’ impressive campaign, and was in many people’s team of the tournament selections.

Meanwhile, aside from the consistent link to Paul Pogba, the Red Devils have been linked to West Ham United starlet Reece Oxford. A move for the 17-year-old would likely cost around £15m, after making an impressive start to his career when breaking onto the scene in east London.
