Transfer news, rumours LIVE: Arsenal Aaron Ramsey contract talks latest, Chelsea prioritise new Eden Hazard deal

Welcome to the Evening Standard’s rolling news coverage of the summer transfer window.

Chelsea are making negotiations over a contract extension for Eden Hazard a top priority, the Mail reports.

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic is a summer target for Paris Saint-Germain, according to the Mirror.

According to the Mirror, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is looking at a loan move to Spain in order to guarantee more playing time for the 2018-19 season. The 22-year-old England international was left out of Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea squad at the weekend.

However, The Telegraph report that Chelsea are keen to hold on to their player - at least until the Premier League transfer window re-opens in January.

Manchester City youngster Oleksandr Zinchenko could be heading to Real Betis on a season-long loan, according to The Sun.

Swansea are eyeing a loan move for Tottenham centre-half Cameron Carter-Vickers, the Mirror says, but they could face competition from Ipswich, where the US international has already spent time on loan.

Stay tuned to Standard Sport for all the latest news, transfer rumours and more.
