With the World Cup firmly out of the way, attention has been fixed on the transfer window for some time now. Clubs across the Premier League and beyond are working hard on deals in a bid to prepare their sides for the upcoming 2026/27 campaign.

The British transfer record has already been broken twice this summer, with Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers moving to Manchester City and Chelsea respectively. And it's expected that even more money will be spent on fresh talent between now and the window slamming shut.

Manchester United's pursuit of new stars continues, while Arsenal, who have had somewhat of a quiet window, are also eyeing up potential signings. Stick around as we bring you all of the latest updates from the world of transfers...

Arsenal are now confident of landing Bruno Guimaraes this summer.

The Gunners earmarked the Newcastle man as a potential option and have been courting him all summer.

As per ESPN, the departure of Eddie Howe looks likely to work in Arsenal's favour, with confidence high in North London.

Guimaraes has been earmarked as a target as Mikel Arteta wants to strengthen his midfield options.

Arsenal have never defended a Premier League crown and Arteta is keen to become the first manager at the club to do that.

Newcastle have already lost Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali this summer.

Manchester United have confirmed the exit of Tyler Fredricson.

The youngster is set to join Swiss side Lausanne-Sport on a permanent deal.

He's been with United since an early age and had broke into the first time under Ruben Amorim.

However, he was unable to establish himself with the seniors and as a result has been let go.

While Lausanne is an unusual destination, the Swiss outfit are owned by INEOS, which could make it easier for United to bring him back if needed.

A statement from United read: "A lifelong Red from south Manchester, he worked diligently while proudly rising through the ranks of our world-famous youth system.

"The 21-year-old played in every round of our 2022 FA Youth Cup campaign as the side reached the final, before illness prevented him from playing in the showpiece occasion against Nottingham Forest.

"The defender made his first-team debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 20 April 2025 and went on to make further appearances against Brentford, Grimsby Town and Newcastle United.

"Joining the club at under-nine level, Tyler has been a model professional throughout his time with the club and a popular member of our academy squads.

Liverpool are reportedly preparing their first bid for Bradley Barcola.

That's according to BBC Sport, who report the Reds are ready to table a financial offer for the Paris Saint-Germain star.

He's unlikely to come cheap though, with PSG said to have valued Barcola at a cool £145m.

The Frenchman has two years left on his PSG contract, but has fallen out of favour and isn't considered an automatic starter.

Liverpool are desperate for a Mohamed Salah replacement, and had been courting Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig.

However, the Ivorian is Real Madrid bound instead, meaning Liverpool are having to look elsewhere.
