Chelsea have been rebuffed in their efforts to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens though remain interested in signing him while Liverpool, who have already brought in Jeremie Frimpong, are making plans for a Florian Wirtz medical after preparing a fourth bid of £118m.
Over in Manchester, United have secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m, and are negotiating with Brentford over Bryan Mbeumo with Viktor Gyokeres also on the list of wanted strikers while Manchester City have signed Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves, AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders and Lyon’s Rayan Cherki.

Man Utd dealt Gyokeres blow
Manchester United will not be able to purchase Viktor Gyokeres for £59m (€70m) after claims from Sporting CP president Frederico Varandas.
Previous rumours had seemingly revealed that Gyokeres had a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with the club that he would be allowed to leave this summer for a price lower than his £85m (€100m) release clause.
But, Varandas has squashed those rumours and with it probably Manchester United’s interest in signing the forward.
“I can guarantee that Viktor Gyokeres will not leave for €60m plus €10m because I never promised that,” Varandas said.
“To this day Sporting has not had an offer for Gyokeres — neither today nor last season.”

Man Utd considering swap deal for Osimhen
Manchester United have cast their eyes on Napoli outcast Victor Osimhen as they look to rebuild their forward line this summer.
Napoli want €70m (£63.5m) to sell the forward but United hope to reduce that figure.
They are reportedly willing to offer Joshua Zirkzee as a part exchange and the Serie A champions are apparently open to the idea.
Osimhen has rejected a move to Saudi Arabia in favour of playing in the Premier League and if the clubs can negotiate a compromise this could happen.
