Manchester United are close to completing a double transfer, the Manchester Evening News has reported.

The Red Devils are finalising terms for Karl Darlow and Andrey Santos.

Ederson, who has been a summer-long target, is set to undergo the final stages of his medical.

Darlow is on the verge of crossing the Pennines in a controversial move from Leeds to Man United after turning down a new deal.

A trio of signings could be through the door in the next few days.

There could be a goalkeeper merry-go-round in the Premier League this summer.

According to the Mail, Sam Johnstone could make the move to Everton.

Mark Travers, the Toffees' second-choice shot-stopper, is said to be attracting attention from Wrexham and newly-promoted Coventry City.

Everton will reportedly wait for clarity before moving to Johnstone, who has made 27 appearances for Wolves since joining two years ago. With Wolves being relegated, it could mean he will not only want an immediate return to the Premier League but also be available at a discounted rate.

Newcastle United are reportedly already working on a contingency plan to replace Bruno Guimaraes.

According to Brazilian outlet Band Sports, it's a case of one Selecao international out, one in. They claim that Danilo Santos of Botafogo is the subject of interest from St James' Park.

The Magpies are reportedly keen on strengthening their ranks by way of a versatile midfielder with Danilo outlined as a priority target to replace Bruno.

The 25-year-old returned to his homeland after joining from Nottingham Forest and it has been suggested that he has emerged as one of the leading midfielders in the country's top division.
