The latest transfer rumors from around the footballing world, including Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and much more.
Chelsea revive interest in Rice

Tottenham rejected Manchester City’s bid for Kane
It turns out the Harry Kane transfer saga began a little earlier than previously thought.
Manchester City reportedly made an inquiry for the striker in January. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, however, quickly rebuffed them. But with Kane set to seek a summer exit, he may have to change his stance – especially if bids of over £100 million arrive at his doorstep.
Fellow Premier League sides Chelsea and Manchester United are also interested. [Daily Star]
