Targets: Senne Lammens, Savinho, Alexander Isak
We are into the home stretch of the summer transfer window, and there are still plenty of huge deals in the works, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham all working hard. The Gunners have announced the signing of Eberechi Eze and the £67.5million man, who should be the final incoming at the club, was unveiled to supporters on Saturday.
Tottenham have renewed their interest in Manchester City winger Savinho after missing out on a mvoe for Eze, and also hold an interest in 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 out-of-favour squad players with Renato Veiga moving to Villarreal, and they hope to offload Nicolas Jackson to fund deals for Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons, while Roma are showing an interest in Tyrique George. 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!

Wissa absence explained
As expected there was no place in the Brentford squad against Aston Villa for forward Yoane Wissa, who is pushing for a move away from the club.
"I felt it was right for the group," said Keith Andrews.

“I felt it was the right decision not to include Yoane today."
Slot speaks on Leoni
Arne Slot has given his verdict on Liverpool’s signing of centre-back Giovanni Leoni from Parma.
"If you look at his transfer fee, you can expect that he is already quite grown up for his age – and that’s exactly what I saw,” the Dutchman said.
“He is tall, fast, comfortable on the ball. There’s a reason why we paid the transfer fee we did, because we see him as a bright prospect."
