West Ham to only offer Wilshere one year West Ham United will not go beyond a one-year contract offer for Jack Wilshere, putting a move to the London Stadium in doubt, reports the Sun . The midfielder’s time at Arsenal has come to a close after talks over a new deal broke down last week. Wilshere's availability on a free transfer has made him appealing to West Ham, but his history of fitness problems means the Hammers do not want to offer him a long-term deal. Chelsea to offer Morata for Pulisic Chelsea are hoping to use Borussia Dortmund’s interest in Alvaro Morata to help land them Christian Pulisic, according to the Daily Mail . The Blues are hoping to beat Bayern Munich to the American teenager’s signature and, while the Bundesliga club have gone cool on Michy Batshuayi, they are interested in Morata. Morata may not have the same desire for a move to BVB, however, as he has held talks with clubs in Italy after a disappointing debut campaign with Chelsea.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc says Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is too expensive for the club, as they continue to search for a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Dortmund sold Aubameyang to Arsenal in January, and are focusing their efforts on recruiting another centre-forward this summer. Morata endured a difficult debut season at Chelsea following his move from Juventus, scoring 15 goals in all competitions in 48 appearances. Zorc believes it will be incredibly hard for Dortmund to extract the Spaniard from Stamford Bridge after he cost an initial £58 million ($76.8m) last summer. "I would say that Morata is too expensive - without knowing exact sums," he told Bild. His statement on Morata feeds into a wider frustration regarding the state of the current transfer market, with fees as inflated as they have ever been. And Zorc admits that he and Dortmund would have rather kept Aubameyang than be forced to find a replacement. "Of course, we have candidates in mind," he said, when asked about replacing the Gabon international. "But the position of a true centre-forward is currently the most difficult to fill in European football. That's why we've resisted selling Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for a very long time because he guaranteed us goals.  "At the moment I have the impression that the transfer market - not only in the case of strikers - is a bit out of touch with the realities.  "Very high prices are called. We have to act with caution and not do crazy things. Especially as we have players in our squad who also have this position in their portfolio."

The 23-year-old defender joined the club from Palmeiras in January and made six appearances for the first-team but is not part of Ernesto Valverde's plans for next season. The imminent arrival of Arthur Melo from Gremio means the Catalan side will have too many foreign players, leaving Mina out in the cold. Juventus eye De Ligt & Godin Juventus will turn their attention to Ajax star Matthijs de Ligt and Atletico Madrid's Diego Godin if they lose Medhi Benatia and Daniele Rugani, Gazzetta dello Sport   reports. The Serie A side fear losing Rugani to Chelsea if the Blues make a big enough offer and see the 18-year-old Netherlands international as an ideal option. With uncertainty surrounding Benatia, it will be Uruguay veteran Godin they look to as the experienced star to step in to the back line.
