Transfer news LIVE!

The first full week of the summer window is upon us and plenty of big deals are being worked upon. Arsenal are keen to sign a new striker and, after missing out on Benjamin Sesko, new targets reportedly include Artem Dovbyk, Nico Williams, Joshua Zirkzee and Victor Osimhen. The Gunners are also being linked with a remarkable £100million move to rival Manchester United for Joao Neves and Xavi Simons.

United, meanwhile, are ready to move on from Jarrad Branthwaite, after Everton refused to drop their asking price, to Matthijs de Ligt, who could cost half the price and Bayern are keen to sell. Chelsea are growing confident of signing Michael Olise but are having second thoughts over Jhon Duran despite agreeing a £40m fee with Aston Villa. Atletico keeper Jan Oblak is a new target, while Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian is expected to finalise his move to the Blues this week.

Tottenham could pile the misery on Crystal Palace by taking Eberechi Eze off their hands for £60m, and are also keen on Ivan Toney but Dominic Solanke is not of interest. Talks with Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori have reportedly begun. Liverpool are working on new manager Arne Slot’s first signing, so keep up to date with all the latest transfer news, updates and gossip via Standard Sport’s live blog!
