Transfer targets: Morgan Rogers, Manu Kone and Julian Alvarez could all be on the move this summer
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United are all stepping up the pursuit of respective targets with the transfer window well underway. Now that the World Cup is drawing to a close, pre-season is sharply coming into focus which means deals are expected to accelerate. Arsenal are set to announce a deal for Christos Tzolis, while they remain keen on sign both Morgan Rogers and Bruno Guimaraes.
Ezri Konsa has also been linked with a move to the Premier League champions as they seek cover for the injured William Saliba, and there has been a fresh Julian Alvarez update. Man United are scouting the midfield market despite signing Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos, with contact made over Hugo Larsson as a bid for Manu Kone is prepared. Chelsea have been told how much it will cost to sign Maxence Lacroix as they consider a loan move for Mamadou Sarr.
Tottenham have already spent over £200million this summer and remain interested in further reinforcements, though they have rejected an offer from Newcastle for Lucas Bergvall. Liverpool have tied down Dominik Szoboszlai to a new contract but are targeting a forward signing, or two, amid links to Bradley Barcola.
