As the season draws to a close, the focus will inevitably turn to the summer transfer window with clubs looking to strengthen their squads ahead of the following campaign.
The Premier League’s recent tv rights deal, worth over £5bn (via BBC), means that the teams competing in the league are as wealthy as ever which has led to intense speculation regarding potential moves between teams in England’s top flight.

Arsenal’s man of the moment insists that he always believed he’d succeed
Here are eight transfers which could take place between Premier League clubs.
1. Petr Cech (Chelsea – Arsenal)
As these two clubs look like finishing first and second in the Premier League respectively, any transfer between the deal could prove to be pivotal as to where the crown ends up next season.
Cech looks to be on the move after falling behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order and a move to London rivals Arsenal would be monumental.
2. Jordan Henderson (Liverpool – Chelsea)
Brendan Rodgers faces one of his most challenging summers in charge at Anfield with two of his top stars yet to agree new deals. According to the Metro, Chelsea are monitoring Henderson’s contract talks and with just 12 months left on his deal come the summer, this one could be interesting.
3. Morgan Schneiderlin (Southampton – Arsenal/Chelsea)
Southampton’s star man Morgan Schneiderlin will be one of the most in demand players given his sensational campaign this term. After being forced to stay at St Mary’s last summer, a move to the Premier League’s top two could become a reality this time round.
4. Nathaniel Clyne (Southampton – Chelsea/Man United)
The Saints may not expect a similar exodus to the one which they experienced last summer, but Clyne is a man on the radar of Chelsea and Man United according to the Express.
5. Raheem Sterling (Liverpool – Arsenal)
Potentially one of the biggest deals this summer with the Liverpool starlet admitting that links to Arsenal were flattering and that he’d rejected a new contract worth £100,000 per-week (via BBC Sport).
6. Ross Barkley (Everton – Man City)
Manuel Pellegrini has admitted that he’d be looking to sign more English talent (via Sky Sports) and there aren’t many around which could potentially strengthen the Champions next season – Barkley is one.
7. Danny Ings (Burnley – Liverpool)
The England U-21 forward is out of contract this summer and has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League giants Liverpool, which would represent a big chance for Ings to prove his undoubted talent at the top level (via The Independent)
8. James Milner (Man City – Liverpool)
With legendary skipper Steven Gerrard set to depart Liverpool this summer, Rodgers could do worse than bring in the industrious Milner to fill the massive void in the centre of midfield.
