Who? - Andrei Arshavin - Speculation Where is he? - Zenit St Petersburg Who is he linked with? - Arsenal, Chelsea
Russia's Euro 2008 hero Andrei Arshavin has claimed that his dream move this summer would not be to the Premier League, but to Spanish giants Barcelona. Arshavin, who won the UEFA Cup with Zenit St Petersburg last month, had previously hinted that his future could lie in England, saying: "I see English games on TV - it's the best league in the world." However, he has now revealed that he wants to play at the Nou Camp: "Barcelona are my dream, I never thought I would have a genuine chance to play for the club," said Arshavin. "I have supported Barcelona all my life, let's see how the situation unfolds. For now I can't say anything for sure."
Who? - Eren Derdiyok - Quite likely Where is he? - Basel Who is he linked with? - Newcastle United
Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan is poised to make a bid for Switzerland's Euro 2008 star Eren Derdiyok. The 20-year-old 6"2 centre half who can also play as a striker, is of Turkish origin and currently plays for FC Basel. Keegan has aired his desire to clean up the Magpies' leaky defence and could be about to splash owner Mike Ashley's cash in a deal which would see Derdiyok swap the Swiss champions for a move to Tyneside.
Who? - Bernard Mendy - Speculation Where is he? - Paris St Germain Who is he linked with? - Hull City
Hull City boss Phil Brown is rumoured to be interested in bringing French full back Bernard Mendy to the KC Stadium as the Tigers look to strengthen their squad for life in the top flight. The 26-year-old currently at Paris Saint Germain has already had a taste of the Premiership with Bolton when Sam Allardyce brought him to the Reebok Stadium on a season's loan in 2003. However it looks likely that the former French international is set for a summer transfer after becoming out of favour. Mendy has been the subject of interest from Italy but Phil Brown believes the Tigers can help the player get back in the French national side where he's been capped three times.
