All the latest Premier League transfer news plus gossip, rumours and done deals

Atletico Madrid expect goalkeeper Jan Oblak to leave the club this summer, with Premier League sides Arsenal and Liverpool ready to battle it out for his signature, according to reports in Spain.

The Slovenian has a €100m release clause in his contract and has so far stalled over a new deal with Atletico which would see his valuation rise.

As such, the Europa League winners have started their search for a replacement, with numerous stories in the Spanish press this morning claiming Atletico will make a bid for Athletic Bilbao player Kepa.

The 23-year-old is very highly rated and has recently broken into the senior Spanish national team, where is understudy to David de Gea.

Kepa’s release clause has been set at €70m – meaning Atletico would be able to fund the deal if Oblak does decide to walk away this summer.
