Hello and welcome to Mirror Football's summer transfer blog for Tuesday, July 7th.
Reports are circulating that Arsenal hold an interest in Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer as a potential replacement for Ben White. The full-back has fallen out of favour behind Jurrien Timber at the Emirates Stadium, as the Gunners look to defend their Premier League title in 2026/27.
While a knee injury could complicate matters in terms of White securing an exit, Arsenal's board are thought to be scouting the market for new replacements. Former Manchester United talent Wan-Bissaka has been tipped as one of the names who could play second-fiddle to Timber for the new season, given his top-flight experience.
Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur look to continue to spend big this summer, as they pursue Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi. The Lilywhites have already splashed out £237million on Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali as the look to bolster their first-team, but it now appears the club are looking for attacking reinforcement.
Reports suggest that Roberto De Zerbi's team could offer as much as £85m to the Cherries for Kroupi Junior, who is a wanted man this summer following a standout Premier League season at the Vitality.
Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, could fail to attract interest should he fail to start England's quarter-final World Cup clash against Norway. The Manchester United forward is set to return to Old Trafford despite a fruitful loan spell with Barcelona in 2025/26.
