As well as being the ultimate sporting event, the World Cup is also the perfect shop window for all players to capture the attention of the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and many others.
One player who has seemingly done this is Croatia ace Martin Baturina, who found the net in spectacular fashion with his fine goal against England. Manchester United are now claimed to be interested in the services of the Como midfielder.
Meanwhile, it appears Liverpool may return to another previous transfer target in Francisco Trincao of Sporting Lisbon, despite Victor Munoz of Osasuna arriving and the club's pursuit of Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig.
And, of course, Arsenal are still looking to build on their Premier League title-winning campaign and gruelling venture to the Champions League final.
All of this and plenty more will be covered by Mirror Football today. Stay tuned and stay with us as we keep you up to date with all the latest right here on our blog, which you can read below...

Harry Maguire sends £130m message to Man Utd
Harry Maguire believes £130m rated Elliot Anderson can be spoken in the same breath as Declan Rice. Anderson and Rice starred alongside each other in the Three Lions' World Cup victory against Croatia.
Before the match, United pulled out of the race to sign Anderson citing the huge finances required to purchase him. Nevertheless, Maguire appeared to suggest Anderson is a similar player to the Arsenal midfielder.
The Englishman said: "I’ve heard there are many clubs abroad after him as well, but I must say, I was not in the England squad for 12 months, and I was interested to go in in March and just see there were 10, 15 new players who I hadn’t played with.
"And I knew he was a good player, and in training, he impressed me even more than I knew. He’s got absolutely everything. He reminds me of Declan Rice in some aspects in terms of his profile.
"He’s good on the ball; he can drive with the ball. He’s got an eye for goal as well, to say he’s playing number six at the minute, but he’s one of those, I think he could play 10, 8, 6. He’s that good.”
