The biggest story of the summer window so far dropped yesterday with Chelsea set to sign Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers in a £117million deal. He played for England that same day and assuming all went well, he is set to undergo a medical on Monday.
While the Blues are on the verge of signing a winger, Manchester United face losing their top target Crysencio Summerville. for that position to AS Roma. The Serie A side have submitted a bid to West Ham but that was turned down as they hold out for £50million.
Yan Diomande is another wide player that could be on the move. Paris Saint-Germain is his priority over Liverpool but as the former focus on other deals, Arsenal look to have joined the race for his signature after losing out on Rogers.
With all of that being said, don't go anywhere as we bring you the latest transfer news, rumours and updates!
While Summerville looks set to depart London Stadium, you may have missed Jarrod Bowen confirming that he will be staying with West Ham in the Championship during an interview posted on club channels.
I did an interview after the [Leeds United game when West Ham were relegated] and said my vision is to get this club back in the Premier League.Sometimes you think it falls on deaf ears and people say 'he's just saying that.' There have been things written and different things said and you have to look at it and bite your tongue sometimes.But when I say something, I don't hide away from it. For me, the main thing is to get this club back into the Premier League and speak to people in the club about what we want to do moving forward as a club for the better of the cub. It was a no-brainer for me to be here and the vision is clear, it's the Premier League.

AS Roma look to have stepped up their pursuit of Manchester United target Crysencio Summerville.
The Serie A side emerged as an interested party earlier this month alongside United and Aston Villa and the latest update suggests they are leading that race.
According to The Athletic, a €46million (£39.12m) offer was lodged on Saturday. It has since been claimed that was turned down with West Ham holding out for £50m to sell,
Villa could certainly now formalise their interest while United seemingly have a decision on Marcus Rashford to make first.

Having lost out on Morgan Rogers to Chelsea, Arsenal links to Bradley Barcola were expected to ramp up but it is actually a Paris Saint-Germain target being eyed by Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners have made checks with his agents in the last few days to see if there was a chance of signing him.
The Ivory Coast winger is widely expected to join PSG from RB Leipzig after turning down the chance to join Liverpool despite their willingness to pay triple-figures.

Morgan Rogers is set to become Chelsea’s record signing and the third player the Blues have spent over £100million on.
New manager Xabi Alonso has reportedly been key to the deal and Chelsea are certainly not hanging about when it comes to finalising his switch from Aston Villa as a medical has been scheduled for Monday, as per The Athletic.
Rogers played the full 90 minutes of England’s mental 6-4 Bronze match win over France. Alonso and Co. will be hoping he got through the clash unscathed
