Transfer targets: Eberechi Eze, Alexander Isak and Rodrygo
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are all open to getting more business done as we enter the final stages of the summer transfer window. There has been news of the Gunners agreeing a deal for a forward, though it's not Rodrygo in question, but rather a salary increase for Leandro Trossard. Meanwhile, one-time target Eberechi Eze is closing in on a move to their north London rivals Tottenham.
Liverpool had been handed a boost in their pursuit of Alexander Isak with Newcastle making plans to bring in a replacement but a public statement issued by the striker and a subsequent response from the club means a deal looks very unlikely at this stage. Marc Guehi does remain a player of interest to the Premier League champions, but as of now, striking a deal with Crystal Palace is proving difficult.
Man Utd have been tipped to raid La Liga for a central midfielder amid links to Eduardo Camavinga and Lucien Agoume. Elsewhere, Chelsea are targeting both Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons in addition to selling a number of fringe players, including Christopher Nkunku.
