Chelsea have missed out on signing key target Michael Olise again, with Bayern Munich agreeing a deal for his services instead. The Blues wasted no time looking elsewhere and have agreed a £19million deal for Aston Villa youngster Omari Kellyman and announced the signing of Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian, who joins next summer. Chelsea have ongoing interest in both Jhon Duran and Samu Omorodion, and view Theo Hernandez as a key left-back target.

Arsenal are interested in a splashy summer move for a high-profile new striker, and Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres is the new preferred target, according to reports in Portugal. Nico Williams, currently at Euro 2024 with Spain, is also an option, after Benjamin Sesko decided to stay put at RB Leipzig.

Tottenham remain in the hunt for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, with Ivan Toney, Jonathan David and Riccardo Calafiori also among their targets. Like Arsenal, Manchester United want a new striker, and Joshua Zirkzee is their top priority, while Federico Chiesa could also make the move to Old Trafford as Juventus attempt to sign Mason Greenwood.
