Transfer push: Talks continue over Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Mike Maignan
The first of two summer transfer windows shuts tonight as clubs push to get deals done before the 7pm deadline. Arsenal seemed in no rush to complete the signing of Benjamin Sesko given that they aren’t at the Club World Cup, but are locked in talks over a £70million move and might want to speed up negotiations with several new rivals having now emerged, including reportedly Al-Hilal. However, Arsenal are said to consider a move for Martin Zubimendi done amid fears of an 11th-hour hijack by Real Madrid.
Manchester United are plotting a fresh offer for Bryan Mbeumo, with a switch to Tottenham not likely despite Thomas Frank being set to leave Brentford for Spurs imminently for a £10m fee. Viktor Gyokeres is said to be furious with Sporting Lisbon, while Chelsea have upped their bid for Mike Maignan today as they plan a second approach for Jamie Gittens and Marcus Bettinelli heads to Manchester City.
