The Premier League returns this weekend with all 20 teams getting a feel for what they might need to do in the transfer window after the first round of fixtures
The opening weekend of Premier League matches has given plenty of teams a wake-up call when it comes to summer transfers. And now, as all 20 sides prepare to return to action, work is being done to get those last few deals over the line.
Eberechi Eze has been a man in demand all summer, and the expiry of his release clause hasn't changed that one bit. Tottenham had looked to be in pole position to sign the England international but Arsenal have now stolen a march.
Reigning champions Liverpool have been among the busiest in the league, but they might not be done. Alexander Isak's statement on Tuesday night could accelerate a move to Anfield for the Newcastle star, while a move for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi remains possible.
Unlike Liverpool and Arsenal, Manchester United made a losing start to the campaign. A new central midfielder could be on the cards, even if Carlos Baleba is out of their price range, while they could also rival Manchester City for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Stay with Mirror Football for all your transfer needs as we move that bit closer to deadline day.
Leverkusen's Boniface set for Milan
Victor Boniface is due to join AC Milan on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, according to various reports.
The Nigeria international's move will include an option to make the move permanent next summer for around £26m.
Boniface, 24, scored 11 times in 27 games for Leverkusen last term.
Godfrey set for Blades medical
Sheffield United are poised to bring in Ben Godfrey on loan from Atalanta.
According to Sky in Italy, the defender was due to fly to England on Wednesday night for a medical.
The Championship side will have a chance to make the move permanent at the end of the season.
Spurs' Eze issue uncovered
Part of Tottenham's early plan for Eberechi Eze was to send Richarlison to Crystal Palace as part of the deal.
However, according to Sky Sports, the Brazilian was not keen on heading to Selhurst Park.
Eze is now set for Arsenal in a deal worth up to £67.5m including add-ons.
DONE DEAL: Bournemouth sign Adli
Bournemouth have completed the signing of Amine Adli.
The Morocco international has joined from Bayer Leverkusen on a five-year deal, hot on the heels of Ben Gannon-Doak's move from Liverpool.
"Amine is a proven winner and someone that will be a real asset to our squad," president of football operations Tiago Pinto said.
"He’s entering the prime of his career and I’m really excited to bring him to the club."
Chelsea to cash in on Veiga
Chelsea are set to sell Renato Veiga to Villarreal, according to The Athletic.
The versatile Portugal international joined the Blues from Basel last summer but played just 18 times before joining Juventus on loan.
Juve had been linked with a permanent swoop, but instead he will join Villarreal for an initial £21m.
What Eze move might mean for Morgan Rogers
Arsenal had been linked with Morgan Rogers before their Eberechi Eze breakthrough.
Will the latest development ensure Rogers stays put after Villa set a high asking price for the England international?
Or might Tottenham now chance their arm after missing out on Eze?
Arsenal Eze excitement ramps up
Arsenal have yet to confirm Eberechi Eze's arrival, but excitement is growing.
Overnight, street art has emerged showing the playmaker in a Gunners shirt.
It might not be all that long before we see the real thing.
Douglas Luiz set for Forest medical
Douglas Luiz will undergo a Nottingham Forest medical today, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Brazilian is set to replace Danlio, who returned to his home country from Forest earlier in the summer.
Luiz's exit could help accelerate some of Juve's other transfer business before the window shuts.
Villa's Moreno off to Girona
Alex Moreno is set to leave Aston Villa for Girona, according to The Athletic.
The Spanish defender had been back at Villa Park after a loan spell with Nottingham Forest.
He will return to La Liga on a permanent basis, two-and-a-half years after joining Villa from Real Betis.
Marseille want West Ham's Emerson
Emerson Palmieri has emerged as a target for Marseille, according to Foot Mercato (via GFFN).
The West Ham left-back found him in and out of the side under Graham Potter last term after the emergence of Ollie Scarles.
Potter also brought in El Hadji Malick Diouf over the summer, and this could pave the way for Italy international Emerson to leave East London.
Enciso headed to Strasbourg
Strasbourg are closing in on Brighton youngster Julio Enciso, according to BBC Sport.
The French club are reportedly paying £17.3m for the Paraguay internatioanl, who is being tipped to later join sister side Chelsea.
Enciso, who joined Brighton in 2022, finished last season on loan at Ipswich after recovering from a serious knee injury.
Liverpool given fresh Guehi hope
Arsenal's move for Eze could see Jakub Kiwior move in the other direction, albeit in a separate deal.
If the Pole moves to Selhurst Park, that might prompt the Eagles to cash in on Liverpool target Marc Guehi.
Guehi is in the final year of his contract, but Palace's high asking price has so far put off the champions.
ICYMI: Arsenal lead Eze race
If you were out last night, you may have missed the news that Arsenal are poised to pip Tottenham to the signing of Eberechi Eze.
Spurs had reached an agreement with Crystal Palace for the England star, only for their rivals to swoop in at the eleventh hour.
We should see movement on the deal pretty swiftly, though Eze might be an Arsenal player in time for Saturday's game against Leeds.
He is set to undergo a Gunners medical, but only after one last Palace game against Fredrikstad in tonight's Conference League play-off.
