Hello and welcome to the Mirror's transfer news live blog for Wednesday, June 24.
The World Cup may be well underway but clubs are busy working in the background preparing for the upcoming season. The future of Julian Alvarez has been a major topic this week, after he made it clear he wants to leave Atletico Madrid with Barcelona his dream move.
Arsenal remain in the race for the ex-Manchester City man, though a potential player-plus-cash deal involving Viktor Gyokeres has been mooted.
Elsewhere, the Gunners have made Morgan Rogers their leading target as they look to sign a new No.10 this summer. While Aston Villa have no intention to sell, the player is believed to be keen on the move.
Tottenham have made a productive start to the summer with Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson joining on a free transfer, while Jan Paul van Hecke has signed in a £52million deal from Brighton.
Alongside that, Spurs are keen to sign a new midfielder and at least one forward, with Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes targeted, while Cody Gakpo's name has popped up across the last week.
