Targets: Fermin Lopz, Piero Hincapie, Alexander isak
The summer transfer window has entered its final week with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United all hard at work completing deals before Monday's deadline day. The Gunners are closing in on the signing of Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen, who have told Arsenal they must pay his full £52million release clause, as Jakub Kiwior has a medical with Porto. Shamrock Rovers starlet Victor Ozhianvuna will join in a record deal.
Chelsea remain interested in Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons, with the expectation still that both will sign, and are now exploring a deal for Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez in the final days of the window. Manchester United are happy to see Garnacho leave, and both Antony and Rasmus Hojlund are set to join Real Betis and Napoli, respectively, to give the club some room to sign a much-desired midfielder.
Alexander Isak has told Newcastle again that he wants to leave, with Liverpool preparing a second bid worth £120million. Tottenham want to make two signings before the window closes, with Savinho their top target alongside a possible Simons hijacking. Interest in Nico Paz was waned and Morgan Rogers is not a target. Yves Bissouma is in talks to join Fenerbahce. Follow the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!
