Targets: Senne Lammens, Eberechi Eze and Alexander Isak
The summer window is entering its final stretch, and we still have plenty of huge deals in the pipeline, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham all working hard. The Gunners are expected to announce the signing of Eberechi Eze after the £67.5million man underwent his medical on Friday in what should be the final incomings at the club.
Tottenham are now back in the transfer market, with Thomas Frank confirming the club will make further signings amid interest in Savinho, Morgan Rogers, Nico Paz and Maghnes Akliouche. Liverpool continue to hold hope of signing Alexander Isak amid growing confidence that a deal worth £130million can be struck after the Premier League champions face much-maligned Newcastle on Monday evening. Before that, interest in Marc Guehi remains as Crystal Palace face losing another key player.
Chelsea continue to convince clubs to sign their deadwood with Renato Veiga moving to Villarreal, and they hope to offload Nicolas Jackson to fund deals for Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons. Manchester United have been linked with Senne Lammens, Angelo Stiller, Lucien Agoume and Chelsea's Andrey Santos! Follow the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!
