Who better to add to the ranks than a man affectionately nicknamed the 'agent of chaos'?Darwin Nunez wants a move back to the Premier League, and the Chronicle are reporting that Chelsea are ready to rival Newcastle for the Al-Hilal goal-getter. If nothing else, it would be thoroughly entertaining.

Newcastle could reportedly fund their summer spending with the sale ofValentino Livramento. Tino's troubled injury record has not dampened interest from Manchester City, who TEAMtalk say are prepared to offer £70m. That fee would make the England international the most expensive full-back in history.

Liverpool like the look of Nico Schlotterback, but face stiff competition for the Dortmund defender. The Reds have shortlisted Schlotterbeck as a potential successor to Virgil van Dijk. However, Mundo Deportivo say Real Madrid are also monitoring the German, whose contract will enter its final year this summer.

Over in Nottingham, Forest have made a quick decision onLorenzo Lucca. The club have no plans to activate the €40m purchase option in Lucca's loan from Napoli, an assessment made after just 120 underwhelming minutes of Premier League football.

Moving on to a former Forest favourite,Dean Henderson is being linked as the next player to join the exodus at Crystal Palace. Tottenham Hotspur have Henderson on their wish-list for the summer, given Guglielmo Vicario's error-prone performances. Football Insider say Palace will issue a 'hands-off warning' to any suitors.

Last but not least,Sunderland and West Ham are set to go head-to-head for Santiago Gimenez. The Mexican has fallen out of favour at AC Milan and could head for pastures new this summer.

AS say Milan will demand a fee of around £19m, though will hope his performances for the World Cup co-hosts can lead to a potential Premier League
