The transfer window is fast approaching and the rumour mill is spinning ever faster as we get closer and closer to summer silly season
Welcome to another day of transfer news and deals. James Milner has agreed to join Liverpool on a free transfer this summer.
The England midfielder rejected a £165,000-a-week offer from Manchester City and will finalise his switch when the transfer window re-opens.
However it is not all good news for the Reds, with defender Martin Skrtel slamming his contract offer, with just one year left on his current deal.
Morgan Schneiderlin's future remains in the balance amid interest from Arsenal and the Southampton man has taken to Twitter to confirm he is thinking about his future.
Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is a target for Sampdoria, with the Italian club keen on striking a loan deal.

Gary Lineker has penned a new five-year deal with the BBC.The former England striker has agreed a contract until 2020 which will see him continue to host the corporation's football coverage and Sports Personality of the Year.
Lineker, 54, has fronted Match of the Day since 1999, and says he's raring to go ahead of the new campaign.
"I'm thrilled that my relationship with the BBC has been renewed and that I will continue to present Match of the Day, FA Cup, major football tournaments and Sports Personality of the Year.
