Transfer news LIVE: Arsenal prepare Eze bid; Man Utd reach Sesko agreement; Isak to Liverpool; Rodrygo twist

In demand: Benjamin Sesko, Eberechi Eze and Alexander Isak could all be on the move this summer

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are still open for business as the summer transfer window heats up. The Gunners are still being linked with a move for Eberechi Eze and latest reports claim an opening bid is imminent, though the sale of Fabio Vieira is said to be a crucial factor.

Man Utd and Newcastle have submitted offers to RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko and the striker reportedly favours a move to Old Trafford despite agreeing personal terms with both clubs. Should the Magpies miss out on the Slovenia international then it could have an impact on Alexander Isak who is wanted by Liverpool.

The Premier League champions have also been linked with a move for Rodrygo, but the Brazilian’s future at Real Madrid has now taken an unexpected twist. Meanwhile, Chelsea are set to confirm multiple exits thus paving the way for further arrivals and Heung-min Son's time at Tottenham is poised to come to an end as an official announcement over a switch to LAFC could come today.

Latest transfer news headlines

Borussia Dortmund are in talks to sign four out-of-favour Chelsea players, with a deal for Carney Chukwuemeka set to be agreed in short order.

According to reports in France, the 21-year-old is set to rejoin Dortmund in a permanent £22m deal after spending the second half of last season on loan with the German side.

That move is expected to be completed this week, but it will not be the extent of Dortmund’s dealings with Chelsea this summer.

They are also said to be interested in Tyrique George, Axel Disasi, and Renato Veiga, with talks ongoing between the two clubs.

That is according to FootballTransfers who claim the Gunners are currently prioritising the departure of the Portuguese attacking midfielder in order to have more financial leeway in their pursuit of the Crystal Palace star.

Talks with Stuttgart over a permanent deal are ongoing, with the Bundesliga outfit looking to bring in a replacement for Al-Ahli-bound Enzo Millot.

Ahead of a debut European campaign, their only signings have been full-back Borna Sosa and backup goalkeeper Walter Benitez.

Glasner is annoyed the club has moved so slowly: “Why waiting for two months? [Our transfer business] could be done quicker, but again, I have no influence.

“It is just my opinion. It is a waste of energy to complain too much about it, so I focus on the players who are here to prepare them in the best possible way. Everything else is not in my influence.”

Borussia Dortmund are closing in on a deal to re-sign Carney Chukwuemeka, but are set to do far more business with the Blues.

The 18-year-old Croatian has impressed in pre-season, but is reportedly set to spend this season away from Hotspur Lane.

Spurs have enquired after the player’s availability, but were told that the player is ‘in love’ with AC Milan. The Rossoneri could sell in order to fund incomings, though.

He is set to leave Chelsea in a £25m deal after spending a single season at Stamford Bridge, during which he won both the Conference League and Club World Cup.

Should the deal be completed in time, he could debut as early as Saturday, when Everton host Roma at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Turkish club are close to agreeing personal terms with the player, while club-to-club negotiations are at an early stage.

The Nigeria international, 28, has played 303 times for Leicester since joining from Genk in 2016, winning the FA Cup in 2021.

The two clubs have tendered similar offers for the Leipzig striker, who is set to make a decision over his future in the coming days.

According to Fabrizio Romano, though, the United hierarchy expect him to move to the Northwest rather than the Northeast.
