Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham remain active as the summer window heats up ahead of its closure in a few days time.

Habeeb Ogunneye and Andria Bartishvili are poised to follow James Scanlon and Igor Tyjon in becoming Arsenal players, while Gabriel Martinelli should complete his move to Al-Hilal.
Liverpool are finalising a move for Bradley Barcola following a medical but are in talks with Manchester City for the sale of Cody Gakpo in what is a massive blow to Tottenham. The Reds also have Ismaila Sarr on their shortlist, while Chelsea are braced to receive an offer for Enzo Fernandez and are stepping up efforts to sign a replacement amid progress in talks with Monaco for Lamine Camara.
Man United are expected to confirm a double deal as they continue to target a left-back. Tottenham still hold an interest in Neco Williams but could lose up to five players including Richarlison. Follow the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip live below!
