Manchester United have moved on from Lewis Hall, with Newcastle refusing to do business, with David Raum now said to be a key target ahead of Antonee Robinson and Jorge Salinas. Youngster Louis Page should join from Leicester. Chelsea are wrapping up the signing of Pep Chavarria, before assessing the market for further opportunities. Manchester City are set to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi for £85million.
Tottenham have sold Manor Solomon to West Ham, and announced a new contract for Micky van de Ven, and are expected to step up interest in Cody Gakpo and Savinho, with Omar Marmoush, Florin Balogun and Georges Mikautadze also of interest. Liverpool have announced the loan signing of Barcelona captain Ronald Araujo, and will now focus full attention on concluding talks with Paris Saint-Germain for Barcola.

Latest transfer news and rumours
Mudryk transfer preference revealed
Mykhailo Mudryk wants to stay in the Premier League if he leaves Chelsea this summer.
The Ukrainian recently returned from a doping ban and is back in first-team training, but it is not yet clear what the future has in store for him.
Coventry City are said to have expressed an interest in the player, while Fabrizio Romano reports Strasbourg and Serie A sides are also interested.
Mudryk, though, has his heart set on staying in the Premier League, and staying at Chelsea does still seem to be an option.
Everton are considering a move for Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz as David Moyes is desperate to add a right-back to his squad.
The Toffees are reportedly interested in the Colombian right-back, but it is not yet clear whether he would be interested in giving up European football for the move.
Reports in The i Paper suggest a busy end to the window is expected for the Toffees.
Real Madrid have identified Martin Zubimendi as a summer target.
According to Football London, Jose Mourinho is considering his options to strengthen his midfield and wants to bring Zubimendi back to Spain.
But Arsenal have no intention of selling the midfielder a year after he joined for £60million.
Zubimendi joined from Real Sociedad last summer and has quickly become an important part of Mikel Arteta’s squad and is seen as a key player for the future.
Manchester United are leading the chase for Club Brugge defender Joaquin Seys.
According to The Sun, the 21-year-old has a £30m asking price, with Arsenal scouts keeping a close eye on the Belgian full-back.
Seys has emerged as an attractive option for Premier League clubs after impressing for Club Brugge, with his versatility making him a potential addition to several squads.
Arsenal could make a second move for a Club Brugge star this summer after already signing Christos Tzolis earlier in the transfer window.
Arsenal have made contact with Paris Saint-Germain over a potential move for winger Bradley Barcola.
According to TEAMtalk, the Gunners have joined the race for the France international as they continue searching for attacking reinforcements.
Liverpool are also interested in Barcola and are currently considered to be leading the race for the 23-year-old, with talks already taking place.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that the Reds have agreed personal terms with Barcola in a huge step towards signing the forward.
PSG are reportedly demanding around £130m for Barcola,
Chelsea are set to seal the signing of Pep Chavarria with a medical booked.
The Blues have been locked in talks with LaLiga oufit Rayo Vallecano since the end of June regarding their Spanish left-back, who helped them to reach the final of last season’s Conference League, where they lost to Crystal Palace in Leipzig in May.
The two clubs struggled to agree a financial package for Chavarria, who will help Chelsea to bolster a potential problem position following the surprise £51.7million departure of Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid earlier this summer.
The 28-year-old has a release clause in his contract at Vallecano worth £42.5m, though Chelsea were never willing to go anywhere close to that figure and are believed to have struck a deal worth an initial £16.2m plus a further £1.7m in add-ons.
Arsenal have Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz on their list of potential targets as they search for a new left winger.
The 21-year-old enjoyed an impressive 2025-26 season, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists in 47 appearances for Juventus across all competitions.
According to BBC Sport, Yildiz’s ability to play across the frontline appeals to Mikel Arteta.
However, Yildiz has recently signed a new four-year contract and will prove a very difficult deal to do should Arsenal make a move.
Ronald Araujo’s shirt number has been revealed after his move to Liverpool was completed.
The Uruguay international has joined Liverpool on a season-long loan deal from Barcelona, and will provide much-needed depth and experience in central defence.
Sky Sports have reported that the Reds have agreed an option to buy Araujo permanently next summer for around £47.14m (€55m), should the 27-year-old enjoy an impressive spell on Merseyside.
Christian Kofane has said he feels comfortable at Bayer Leverkusen, amid links to Arsenal.
After impressing against the Gunners in the Champions League last season, Kofane's agent, Eric Depolo, sparked speculation over a summer transfer.
Depolo went as far to suggest that Arsenal were in pole position to sign Kofane, due to the presence of Mikel Arteta and William Saliba.
This is was despite claiming Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton, Brentford, Barcelona and Bayern Munich were also interested in the 20-year-old.
Manchester United know how much it will cost to sign Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara.
Man Utd remain on the market to bolster their options in the engine room following deals for Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
Camara has emerged as a new target for Michael Carrick's side, though Monaco are demanding €50million (£42.7m) for the 22-year-old.
Reports claim the French side will stick to their valuation of Camara and have no intention of accepting a lower fee.
