Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs expected to make further big moves as the summer transfer window heats up. The Gunners officially unveiled Viktor Gyokeres over the weekend and are now said to have agreed personal terms with Eberechi Eze, while there has been some encouragement in their potential pursuit of Rodrygo.

Liverpool remain interested in the possibility of smashing the British transfer record by landing Alexander Isak from Newcastle and are said to have agreed personal terms with the striker. The sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich will be used to boost their attempts to sign Isak.

Randal Kolo Muani is still being considered as an alternative and Morten Hjulmand is a midfield target. Chelsea are on the verge of selling Joao Felix as they seek to bolster their squad amid talks for Xavi Simons and links to Morgan Rogers. Elsewhere, Tottenham must now look for an Morgan Gibbs-White alternative after the midfielder penned a new contract. Follow the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!

Manchester United have reportedly ruled out moves for Emi Martinez and Nicolas Jackson, with the club deeming each player’s asking price to be too high.
The Red Devils are in the market for a new striker, with Ollie Watkins said to be top of their list, and are also looking to freshen up between the posts.
United have already seen a loan proposal for Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez rejected this summer.
According to The Athletic’s Laurie Whitwell, they’ve now decided that the Argentine and Chelsea’s Senegalese frontman Jackson are not worth the fees demanded by their respective clubs.
Joining Watkins on Ruben Amorim’s wish list, Whitwell reports, is RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. United believe a deal for Waktins could be done for £40-45million, versus £69-78m for Sesko.

Thomas Frank insists Tottenham captain Heung-min Son will have a "very good role" at the club next season despite transfer speculation over his future.
Son has been at Spurs for a decade and in May became the first captain of the club to lift a European trophy for 41 years with the Europa League triumph.
There have been suggestions that both Spurs and Son are ready to part ways, allowing the player to go out on a high after ending a long trophy drought, and MLS side LAFC have been heavily credited with interest.
"I think first and foremost, Son's legacy here is remarkable," Frank told Men In Blazers. "He's been a fantastic player for Tottenham, he is a fantastic player for Tottenham.
"I see a player that that can play a very good role here next season. He's come in, very good mindset, trained very hard, pushed the players. So I'm excited about it."
