Tottenham table £70m Mbeumo bid amid Man Utd interest07:27
This summer's transfer window is on pause, not that you'd think it with so many deals bubbling away in the background. Signings can't officially take place, but that will all change in a matter of days.
Tottenham are looking to get the jump on Manchester United as they pursue Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo. The forward could follow Thomas Frank across London with the Europa League winners submitting a hefty offer.
Liverpool are also about to part with huge sums after a British-record deal for Florian Wirtz was agreed with £100million being paid up front to Bayer Leverkusen.
Arsenal continue their search for a striker as Viktor Gyokeres' next move remains front and centre. He's been linked with the Gunners and the Red Devils.
Manchester City have already landed three new faces as Pep Guardiola reacts to a poor season whilst Chelsea were unsuccessful in pursuing some of their targets as the two teams prepare for the Club World Cup.

Gyokeres saga turns messy
The situation surrounding Viktor Gyokeres is really starting to spiral as he pushes to leave Sporting Lisbon. Gyokeres scored 54 goals in 52 games in all competitions for Sporting this season, but is now keen to move on and test himself in the Premier League.
The Sweden international snubbed a move to Saudi Arabia and Al Hilal this week, which would’ve earned him in the region of £500k-per-week. Both Man United - where former mentor Ruben Amorim - and Arsenal are pursuing a new No.9 this summer, and Gyokeres is keen to join either.
As he does so, the fallout in Portugal is getting increasingly bitter. It has been claimed that Gyokeres is willing to go on strike to force a move away from Sporting after suggestions they’ve been increasing their asking price in talks with potential buyers, having, it’s claimed by the Gyokeres camp, to sell him for a set fee.

Tottenham table £70m Mbeumo bid amid Man Utd interest
Spurs have launched a £70million bid to hijack Man United’s move for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo. The north Londoners’ offer is worth £65million plus £5million in add-ons, £10million more than United’s.
As revealed by Mirror Football last week, new Spurs boss Thomas Frank wants to take 25-year-old Mbeumo with him to north London. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy wants to deliver the Cameroon international as a statement signing for Ange Postecoglu’s successor.
But United remain the preferred destination for Mbeumo, who scored 20 Premier League goals for Brentford over the past season.
