Transfer news LIVE!
The summer window is back open for business as the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all scramble to get more major signings over the line. Arsenal have received another new update on Benjamin Sesko, while Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly told friends and family is expects to join the Gunners, while the club are said to be exploring a deal for Noni Madueke having seen interest in Rodrygo and Nico Williams go nowhere. Thomas Partey looks set to exit this month, with Martin Zubimendi in London to complete his move.
Chelsea are in talks with all of Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro and Mohammed Kudus, which would see Madueke move down the pecking order, having also made contact over Malick Fofana and Hugo Ekitike. Ousmane Diomande is also being lined up as a defensive target. Liverpool are set to finally announce Florian Wirtz and have booked a medical for Milos Kerkez. They are now plotting a move for Marc Guehi, though that has hit a potential stumbling block, and Alexander Isak remains an unrealistic target.
Manchester United are still pushing to land Bryan Mbeumo, but the Brentford star could now favour a move to Tottenham, and also have interest in Ekitike, as well as Victor Osimhen. Tottenham are weighing moves for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze and West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, while Leeds have seen a huge offer for Rodrigo Muniz rejected by Fulham, who are eyeing Ricardo Pepi.
