Spurs reveal their new kits for the 26/27 season

The transfer window is open for business, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham all pushing hard to get some big signings over the line. Arsenal are reportedly set to hijack Manchester United’s move for Crysencio Summerville, while they have new hope in their quest to land Morgan Rogers.

Arsenal hijack Man Utd move for Summerville

Arsenal are trying to hijack Manchester United’s move for Crysencio Summerville, reports claim.

The Dutch winger is extremely in demand this summer, with his exit from West Ham looking inevitable after their disastrous relegation from the Premier League last season.

Summerville’s impressive start to the World Cup - where he has scored in back-to-back games for the Netherlands against Japan and Sweden in Group F - has only served to ramp up that transfer speculation even further.

According to reports from France relayed by TEAMtalk, Arsenal are now very much in the running for the former Leeds star, with United having previously appeared to be leading a crowded race that also features PSG, Tottenham and Aston Villa.

Summerville would be a huge coup for the Gunners as they seek to strengthen their left-hand side amid doubts over the futures of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

West Ham want free agent Webster

West Ham are looking into signing ex-Brighton defender Adam Webster, the Sun reports.

Webster, 31, spent seven years with the Seagulls, but left on expiry of his contract this summer.

The Hammers’ relegation means several players are looking for escape routes; Jean-Clair Todibo and Konstantinos Mavropanos are part of that group.

Webster could therefore fill a gap in West Ham’s defence if a move to the London Stadium goes through.

PSG enter Diomande race

PSG want £100m-rated Yan Diomande and will compete with Liverpool for his signing, according to Bild.

The Anfield side had a £86m bid rejected for Diomande on Thursday, and their pursuit will be complicated by the Paris side’s interest.

PSG’s financial might and status as European Champions may lure the young winger to the Parc des Princes.

Iraola is looking for a Mo Salah replacement, while Bradley Barcola’s rumoured transfer to Arsenal means Luis Enrique will also require incomings.

Bergvall wants Tottenham departure

Standard Sport understands Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall is seeking a new challenge and wants a transfer away from the club.

Man Utd and Liverpool want Nmecha

Both Liverpool and Manchester United want to sign Felix Nmecha, TEAMtalk reports.

Nmecha, 25, plies his trade for Borussia Dortmund and is currently on World Cup duty with Germany - he scored in their 7-1 win over Curacao.

Dortmund are looking for around £43m for the midfielder.

Leeds submit £20m Charles bid

Southampton midfielder Shea Charles, 22, is the subject of a £20m from Leeds, Simon Jones reports.

The Northern Ireland international made 31 appearances for the Saints this season and scored an extra-time winner against Middlesbrough in the play-off semifinals.

But his side were removed from the Championship play-off final after accusations of cheating: Boro replaced them, but lost to Hull at Wembley.

Leeds boss Daniel Farke will be looking to build on his team’s 14th-placed finish in the Premier League.

Liverpool reject £22m Jones bid

The Athletic report Liverpool have turned down an offer for Curtis Jones from Italian Champions Inter Milan.

The verbal offer of £21.7m is well below the Merseyside club’s evaluation of their home grown midfielder.

They want around £35m for Jones, 25, who has one year left on his contract.

Man Utd issue Sesko stance

Manchester United insist that Benjamin Sesko is not for sale this summer.

That’s according to Teamtalk, who claim that Barcelona are interested in the Slovenian.

Atletico Madrid are also thought to be monitoring the 23-year-old, but apparently Michael Carrick sees him as a key part of his side this coming season.

Bergvall sends Spurs transfer message

Lucas Bergvall has told Tottenham that he wants a new challenge.

The Athletic report that the Swede has said to Roberto De Zerbi that he wants a fresh start, and he has plenty of interest in the Premier League and Europe.

Arsenal handed boost for £70m transfer

Arsenal will avoid the disruption of losing Ayyoub Bouaddi to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) next season, if they sign the Lille midfielder.

The Gunners are among a number of clubs being linked with the teenager, with interest skyrocketing after an outstanding World Cup debut for Morocco against Brazil.

Arsenal have held initial talks over a summer transfer as Mikel Arteta plots to bolster his midfield options ahead of the new season.

Lille are said to value Bouaddi at around £70million after tying the 18-year-old down to a new contract last December, extending his deal through to the summer of 2029.

If Arsenal were to sign Bouaddi before summer transfer window closes, Arteta would get an immediate boost in that Bouaddi would be available all next season.
