Targets: Eberechi Eze, Carlos Baleba, Rodrygo and Alexander Isak
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United all have one eye on completing more deals before the summer transfer window closes as the new Premier League season gets underway tonight. The Gunners remain interested in Eberechi Eze but will have to act fast with rivals Tottenham said to be preparing an opening offer.
The Alexander Isak to Liverpool transfer saga has taken a fresh twist with the Newcastle star now on strike in an attempt to force through a move. Meanwhile the reigning champions are closing in on a deal for Parma central defender Giovanni Leoni and could yet sign Marc Guehi as well as Rodrygo because the Real Madrid forward is thought to favour a move to Anfield despite interest from elsewhere.
Man United have reportedly agreed a fee with Brighton for Carlos Baleba and could partially fund a deal by selling Jadon Sancho to Roma permanently. Elsewhere, Chelsea are making progress in their efforts to land Alejandro Garnacho and Spurs want to sign Man City winger Savinho. Follow the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!
