Transfer news LIVE!
The summer window is already breaking multiple records as Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool all work to wrap up statement signings. Arsenal remain keen on signing both Morgan Rogers, Bradley Barcola and Bruno Guimaraes, but are looking at alternative targets including Morten Hjulmand and Christian Kofane. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has now been linked, while Leandro Trossard is heading to Besiktas to raise funds.
Manchester United are keen to snap up Andrey Santos from Chelsea, having agreed a deal for Ederson, amid ongoing links with Aurelien Tchouameni, Alex Scott, Felix Nmecha and Ayyoub Bouaddi. Man City are also keen on Bouaddi. Chelsea remain in talks to sign Maxence Lacroix and Pep Chavarria, but a deal for Granit Xhaka looks very tough to do. Tyrique George is set to join Everton permanently for £22million.
Tottenham have broken their transfer record twice in a week, after confirming the £100m arrival of Sandro Tonali. Their next target appears to be Eli Junior Kroupi, with a £85m said to be in the works, and Rafael Leao or Savinho. Liverpool could offer Harvey Elliott in part exchange for Adam Wharton, and may have fresh hope over Yan Diomande as they join the race for Crysencio Summerville.

Arsenal move for Bruno Guimaraes could accelerate
Arsenal’s pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes does not appear to have been diminished by Newcastle team-mate Sandro Tonali’s £100m transfer to rivals Tottenham.
Newcastle seem unlikely to sell both Tonali and fellow midfielder - and captain - Guimaraes in the same summer window, having already seen Anthony Gordon leave for Barcelona, though The Sun claim that Arsenal have not given up hope when it comes to the Brazilian.
They say the Gunners still believe that a deal can be made and are set to return with an offer of around £60m, having seen an initial approach for Guimaraes rebuffed.
Movement could now accelerate following Brazil’s World Cup exit.

But Sky Sports today report that Spurs will resist any offers for Bergvall, with Roberto De Zerbi keen to keep the player.
