Andrey Santos, Bradley Barcola, Morgan Rogers
Transfer targets: Andrey Santos, Bradley Barcola, Morgan Rogers
The summer window is already breaking multiple records as Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool all work to wrap up statement signings. Arsenal remain keen on signing both Morgan Rogers, Bradley Barcola and Bruno Guimaraes, but are looking at alternative targets including Morten Hjulmand and Christian Kofane. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has now been linked, while Leandro Trossard is heading to Besiktas to raise funds.
Manchester United are keen to snap up Andrey Santos from Chelsea, having agreed a deal for Ederson, amid ongoing links with Aurelien Tchouameni, Alex Scott, Felix Nmecha and Ayyoub Bouaddi. Man City are also keen on Bouaddi. Chelsea remain in talks to sign Maxence Lacroix and Pep Chavarria, but a deal for Granit Xhaka looks very tough to do. Tyrique George is set to join Everton permanently for £22million.
Tottenham have broken their transfer record twice in a week, after confirming the £100m arrival of Sandro Tonali. Their next target appears to be Eli Junior Kroupi, with a £85m said to be in the works, and Rafael Leao or Savinho. Liverpool could offer Harvey Elliott in part exchange for Adam Wharton, and may have fresh hope over Yan Diomande as they join the race for Crysencio Summerville.

Latest transfer news and rumours
Arsenal prepping bids for Rogers and Barcola
Arsenal fans will no doubt be sad to see Leandro Trossard go, but should be very excited about what could come next.
The Gunners have been linked with some stellar names to improve an attack that was found wanting at times last season, despite their Premier League title success and run to the Champions League final.
According to HandofArsenal on X, Arsenal are currently working on separate major deals that would see them sign both Morgan Rogers and Bradley Barcola this summer.
They have yet to start club-to-club negotiations over either, but both World Cup stars are said to be keen on moving to the Emirates Stadium in this window.
Called upon: Morgan Rogers
Chelsea plot new Pep Chavarria bid
Chelsea are still pushing to sign Pep Chavarria.
The Blues emerged as surprise contenders for the Rayo Vallecano left-back last week, having agreed to sell Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid after the World Cup in a transfer worth £51.7m.
Chelsea have set their sights on Chavarria to help fill the void after an impressive season in which he helped the LaLiga club to reach the Conference League final, where they lost to Crystal Palace in Leipzig.
A deal has yet to be done, but Fabrizio Romano reports this morning that a new round of club-to-club talks have been scheduled after an initial bid was rebuffed.
Chavarria is believed to want to join Chelsea.

Tottenham prepare £85m Junior Kroupi bid
Tottenham are preparing an £85m bid for Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi.
That’s according to talkSPORT, who report that Spurs are keen to reshape their attack, with Richarlison expected to leave.
Bournemouth, however, are understood to have no intention of selling Kroupi, who remains under a long-term contract.
The 20-year-old impressed in his first Premier League season, scoring 13 goals in 33 league appearances to attract interest from several leading clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal.
Arsenal weigh up Wan-Bissaka as White replacement
Arsenal are considering a surprise move for West Ham right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, reports TEAMtalk.
The Gunners are reportedly preparing for the possibility of Ben White leaving this summer and sporting director Andrea Berta has reportedly drawn up an extensive shortlist of 11 defensive targets, with Wan-Bissaka emerging as a serious option.
White is attracting interest from clubs in England, Europe and the Middle East, although a recent knee ligament injury could delay any transfer.
Wan-Bissaka was last seen producing a very impressive performance for DR Congo against England at the World Cup.
Wilson heads back to the top flight
Brentford are set to sign Callum Wilson on a free transfer after he left relegated West Ham as a free agent.
Per BBC Sport, all parties hope an agreement on a one-year deal will be completed by the end of the week.
Arsenal and Liverpool lead Barcola chase
Bradley Barcola’s uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain could see the France winger switch to the Premier League this summer.
Arsenal and Liverpool are both keen, talkSPORT claims.
Though a final decision may not come until after the World Cup.
DONE DEAL
Chelsea have announce Aggie Beever-Jones has signed a new contract until 2030.
A product of the Chelsea academy, which she joined at nine years old, Beever-Jones has established herself as a key figure in the first-team squad and an England international over the past three seasons.
Beever-Jones, whose development was aided through loans at Bristol City and Everton earlier in her career, has made 97 appearances for the Blues and scored 32 goals. She has celebrated consistent success at Chelsea, winning the Women's Super League twice and lifting both the Women’s FA Cup and Women’s League Cup on two occasions.
Upon extending her stay with her childhood club, the 22-year-old said: ‘It feels great. Chelsea has been my club since I was a young girl, and that means a lot to me and my family. It’s a very proud day, and I'm super excited to be able to continue my journey and make more memories in blue.’
DONE DEAL!
Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Germany striker Selina Cerci.
The 26-year-old has arrived from Hoffenheim on a permanent transfer.
Done deal! Tottenham sign Sandro Tonali in £100m deal
As expected, Tottenham have now confirmed the signing of Sandro Tonali.
The Italian midfielder joins from Premier League rivals Newcastle in a mammoth deal worth an initial £92.5m, plus a further £7.5m in add-ons.
It is the second time in the space of four days that newly-ambitious Spurs have smashed their club transfer record, following the £85m arrival of Mateus Fernandes from rivals West Ham last week.
Tonali is Tottenham’s sixth arrival already of an aggressive early summer recruitment drive that follows their near-disastrous flirtation with relegation last season, following Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka.
He takes the No16 shirt that was assigned to Luka Vuskovic last summer before he went out on loan to Hamburg and was previously worn by Timo Werner.
