There are seven weeks remaining of the transfer window and plenty of work still to be done. The Premier League has already seen some monumental deals but more await before the return of the season in a month's time.
Liverpool set out to their work early and in a record deal in addition to . A new defender and striker could and Hugo Etikike both linked - with potential for competition from Newcastle for both.
Arsenal have not been shy in attempting to overcome the gaps to the Reds either. They've and in the last week, while .
But anyone associated with the Gunners will be waiting with baited breath to discover whether a new striker finally arrives in north London. and attempting to force through a move to the Emirates from Sporting CP.
Tottenham meanwhile have caused controversy in their attempt to land Morgan Gibbs-White. Nottingham Forest have as the Lilywhites' attempts to strengthen Thomas Frank's side are put on hold.
Manchester United are set to be hard at work too and . A new goalkeeper could be on the cards but the Red Devils will be doing their utmost to land Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford too.
There is still time for the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City to conduct more business too. And we'll keep you up to date with everything from around the Premier League and beyond below.
Sporting Lisbon will punish Viktor Gyokeres after he snubbed their pre-season training camp in the Algarve in his latest bid to push through a £69million move to Arsenal.
The Sporting squad departed the Academia Cristiano Ronaldo at around 5:35pm local time for Lagos, near Faro without their talismanic goalscorer, who's now facing disciplinary action after opting to remain in Sweden with his family.
Sporting's players were asked to report at 4:30pm but unsurprisingly, Gyokeres did not show, nor did he arrive in the hour window that followed before the team bus eventually set off.

Crystal Palace have confirmed that any player who spent time on international duty in the summer is yet to return to training after Eberechi Eze missed their pre-season win over Millwall.
The Eagles hosted their London rivals at Selhurst Park as they look to get up to speed, winning 1-0, but it was the absence of their leading light that caught the attention. Especially with transfer interest in the England international mounting.
However the club underlined that Eze not being selected was unrelated to any potential move away, instead he had not began his pre-season yet and has been allowed an extended break. England last played on June 10 with Eze starting in attack as the Three Lions were stunned by Senegal.
Liverpool are prepared to enter the race for Rodrygo, whose Real Madrid future appears incredibly uncertain, with Arsenal heavily linked with the Brazilian. The forward's game time has massively decreased and he has lost his starting spot over the summer.
Arsenal want to bolster their forward line, but are closing in on the signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea. It remains to be seen whether that would see their interest in Rodrygo cool, which could open the door for Liverpool if they needed to fill a hole in their squad.
RMC Sport reports that the Reds will consider making a move, but only if they end up losing Luis Diaz this summer. The Colombian continues to be linked with pastures new as Barcelona and Bayern Munich circle, but they want to retain the winger despite his contract winding down.

Ekitike plan
as Eddie Howe looks for someone to compete with Alexander Isak.
The Magpies are said to have contacted the French star's agent to express their desire having previously missed out on the player.
Ekitike has a release clause of €100m (£86m) and Newcastle's move could put Liverpool under pressure to make their own.
Maybe such a significant signing could indicate that Newcastle are preparing for an Isak exit next summer however. It will be interesting how it plays out.

Sporting send Gyokeres message
Sporting president Frederico Varandas has not been put under pressure by Viktor Gyokeres' decision not to turn up for pre-season and has sent a warning to Arsenal.
“If they don't want to pay Viktor's fair market value, we're very comfortable with that for the next three years," said Varandas.
