Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke are closing in on moves to Arsenal this window
Why Joao Pedro Could Be VITAL To Chelsea
The summer transfer window rolls on as Premier League clubs and those around Europe look to add to their squads ahead of the 2025/26 season.
And the biggest move of the window could be about to happen, with Liverpool starting talks with Newcastle over a potential £120m move for Alexander Isak, according to The Athletic. The Reds have also rejected a £58.5m bid from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz though the Bundesliga champions are said to be preparing a second offer for the winger.
Arsenal’s negotiations for Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres had stalled due to a difference in valuation and terms, though the Gunners are now in the process of completing a move for the Sweden striker after a breakthrough in talks. It has been similar news regarding Noni Madueke too, with the Chelsea winger undergoing his medical over the weekend.
Tottenham’s window sprung into life last week with a deal for West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, though Nottingham Forest are considering legal action against them over what they believe could be an illegal approach for Morgan Gibbs-White. Manchester United continue to focus on a deal for Bryan Mbeumo after securing Matheus Cunha from Wolves, though there remains plenty of focus on outgoings as Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho near the exit door.
All the latest updates, rumours and done deals will be covered in the blog below:

Arsenal still chasing Eze despite Madueke interest
Arsenal are still interested in Eberechi Eze, with Mikel Arteta keen on the Palace playmaker. The club are set to approach Palace over a deal soon.
The 27-year-old has a £68m release clause, though Arsenal are expected to try and negotiate a deal at a lower price point.
Eze, who scored eight goals and got eight assists for the Eagles in the Premier League last season, is not believed to be deterred by Arsenal’s move for Noni Madueke.

Arsenal’s biggest weakness is clear – here’s how Viktor Gyokeres can solve it
Arsenal’s history could have been very different without Harry Woods. Without him, there may have been no Herbert Chapman, no trio of league titles in the 1930s, no status as London’s biggest club.
Arsenal narrowly avoided relegation in 1923-24. They only won 12 league games that season. Woods scored in six of them. He was Arsenal’s top scorer.
He also got a mere nine league goals. Which had a renewed pertinence more than a century later when Kai Havertz emulated him: for the first time in 101 years, Arsenal had no player in double figures for league goals.

Brentford looking at Hutchinson as Mbeumo replacement?
Rumours emerged on Monday that Brentford are considering signing Omari Hutchinson, with the 21-year-old having impressed last season despite facing relegation at Ipswich.
Hutchinson also impressed in the recent U21 Euros, and signed for Ipswich in a club-record £22.5m deal last season.
It is assumed a fee of at least the same level would be necessary to prise him away from Portman Road.
Could he be a replacement for Bryan Mbeumo who is rumoured to be making the switch to Old Trafford this summer?

Newcastle have club-record bid rejected for Hugo Ekitike
Newcastle have had a club-record bid rejected for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike.
Sky Sport Germany reports that a £70m bid has been put down.

Nicolas Jackson set for a move away?
With the recent arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, the door has opened for a move away from Chelsea for Nico Jackson.
Several Premier League clubs are said to be interested alongside AC Milan, though rumours suggest that Chelsea may be demanding a fee as high as £100m for the Senegal international.
That number is ridiculously high so Chelsea would probably settle for less if they are serious in offloading the forward.

Bayern preparing another Diaz bid
Bayern Munich are preparing another offer for Luis Diaz, according to Sky Sports.

Bayern are prepared to offer the Colombia international at least a four-year deal.
Their previous bid was for £58.5m so they would need to up their offer significantly to bring Liverpool to the table.

The London club are expected to pay €63m guaranteed over instalments, with another €10m subject to add-ons.
