Transfer news live: Arsenal agree terms with Chelsea star, Man Utd sign defender, West Ham reject Spurs bid

Personal terms have been struck with Noni Madueke, according to multiple reports, while Arsenal are also hoping to sign Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko

Why Benjamin Sesko Is Perfect For Arsenal (And Why He's Not)

The summer transfer window rolls on as Premier League clubs and those around Europe look to add to their squads.

Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Noni Madueke but are yet to make contact with Chelsea over a high-profile switch for the England winger. The Gunners are also hoping to secure a deal for Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera after the La Liga outfit rebuffed their initial offer. They have sights on Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, although face competition from Tottenham – who have had a bid for Mohamed Kudus rejected by West Ham – and continue to be linked with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres. In the meantime, a medical is planned for incoming Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard.

Manchester United secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m early in this window and have now nabbed teenage Paraguayan defender Diego Leon. They are negotiating with Brentford about Bryan Mbeumo and have Sporting’s Gyokeres and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins on their list of potential additions while Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho face exits from the club.

Elsewhere, Chelsea have signed Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund in a £55m deal for the former England Under-21 winger. The Blues have confirmed to signing of Brighton’s Brazil forward Joao Pedro. Newcastle are also making moves and have stepped up their pursuit of Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga by submitting a second offer close to £55m.

Five players tell Man United they want to leave Old Trafford as exodus looms

Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho are among five players to tell Manchester United they want to leave the club after falling out of favour.

Antony, the second biggest signing in United’s history, and Tyrell Malacia are also keen to move elsewhere amid a possible exodus from Old Trafford and none of the quintet will start preseason training with United.

Rashford, whose No 10 shirt has been given to summer signing Matheus Cunha, is a target for Barcelona and has said he would “love” to play with Lamine Yamal.
