Manchester United have finally managed to offload the huge drain on their resources that was Alexis Sanchez, but sure enough plenty of thoughts have already turned to what that means for who they can bring in.
The Chilean’s No.7 shirt is now vacant, and United have long been linked with making Jadon Sancho the man to fill it.
That saga looks as though it could run on and on into the summer, but other deals could conclude more swiftly as plenty of clubs get to grips with the twin pressures of playing in European competition and managing the transfer market.
Manchester City have quickened their pace in the past week with deals for both Ferran Torres and Nathan Ake, while Arsenal continue to be linked with a free transfer move for Willian.
