The summer transfer window rolls on as Premier League clubs and those around Europe look to add to their squads.
Arsenal's negotiations for Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres have stalled over a difference in overall value and terms. The Premier League club's stance is to offer €65m, with potential performance-related add-ons of €5m and €10m, but that has not proven to be enough to add to the signing of Martin Zubimendi and Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard, while Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze is another target.
Tottenham have been busy and have aggressively backed new manager Thomas Frank with a deal for West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus and they have now triggered the release clause for Morgan Gibbs-White to further bolster their attacking options.
Manchester United secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m early in this window but a subsequent deal for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo has been slow to develop, while the likes of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho remain at the club despite pushing for a fresh start this summer.

Forest back in for Wissa?
Another Brentford-related development as the Bees could be set to lose Yoane Wissa too.
Nottingham Forest have re-ignited their interest in the player, who is said to be valued at around £50m. Forest reportedly made a bid in January, though they valued Wissa at around £22m.
Forest have made another bid for the Congo international, though it is not known the value of this current offer.

“Man United need to find a way of meeting Brentford's valuation,” Ferdinand said on Rio Ferdinand Presents.

Napoli return for £45m-rated Garnacho as Man United begin clearout
Napoli have renewed their interest in Manchester United and Argentina winger Alejandro Garnacho.
The Mirror claims that the Italian side would hope to sign the player for £45m, which would appear a respectable fee for a player than is keen to leave Old Trafford.
And with Bryan Mbeumo poised to join the Red Devils, Garnacho’s exit could facilitate that move and more to strengthen Ruben Amorim’s squad.

How Kyle Walker and Burnley can make unlikely marriage a success
It was, Kyle Walker said, “an opportunity I jumped at”. Two years ago, the scramble for his services was between Manchester City and Bayern Munich, a contest that meant a 33-year-old got a three-year deal. And so, had everything gone to either of his plans, he would now be planning for a final season at either the Etihad Stadium or the Allianz Arena.
Instead, the opportunity he grasped was to go to Burnley. One interpretation is to say that it is a sign of how far and how fast the mighty have fallen: a year ago, Walker played in the final of Euro 2024 and was (somehow) named in the team of the tournament. This season, he may have thought, would have ended with him captaining City to the Premier League or Champions League titles; perhaps even the Club World Cup.
Rather than the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, however, Walker is at the homelier confines of Turf Moor. He was not even named in the City squad that Pep Guardiola took to the United States.

Perhaps the Premier League’s greatest ever right-back, Walker would not have expected to end up at Turf Moor a year ago but may prove a shrewd signing by Scott Parker

Tottenham trigger Morgan Gibbs-White release clause
This is a deal that has accelerated at a great pace, with a deal now close after Tottenham triggered Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White’s £60m release clause.
Various sources report the England international is due to link up with Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which should boost his hopes of playing at next summer’s World Cup with England, given the chance to thrive in the Champions League next term.
Gibbs-White will join Mohammed Kudus as high-profile reinforcements for Spurs.

Arsenal setback in Viktor Gyokeres bid despite offering €10m above Sporting’s asking price
Chief Football Writer Miguel Delaney reported yesterday that Arsenal have reached an impasse with Sporting Lisbon over Viktor Gyokeres, offering €65m, with potential performance-related add-ons, while Sporting want €70m guaranteed.
“The situation mirrors Arsenal's earlier pursuit of Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko in how neither club are budging,” Miguel writes. “Those talks have temporarily paused over a difference of €10m.
“There is a significant difference with the pursuit of Sesko, however. The desire of the Gyokeres camp to leave has created tension and made it much more difficult for Sporting to keep him.
“Club president Frederico Varandas has been irritated by how the situation has been conducted - if not necessarily by the player himself - especially since Sporting have let it be known they won't stand in his way.”
