Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are pressing on in their attempts to sign new players and make a strong start to the new Premier League season.

He is thought to be closing in on a move to Spurs, who are also eyeing a deal for Savinho.
Liverpool have confirmed the arrival of Giovanni Leoni from Parma, though Friday night’s 4-2 win over Bournemouth may have highlighted the need to persist in a deal for Marc Guehi before the window closes. There has been a fresh update regarding the future of Alexander Isak as he is set to miss Newcastle's opening game of the campaign.
Man United's interest in Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba is thought to have cooled, but are now considering alternatives. Elsewhere, Chelsea have made it clear they want two further signings in addition to letting Nicolas Jackson leave, with Enzo Maresca targeting defensive reinforcements.
