The summer window is into its final weeks as leading Premier League clubs accelerate plans. According to The Standard, Arsenal will announce Bruno Guimaraes today, have made a shock enquiry for Cristian Romero and have agreed personal terms with Alvarez after Vinicius Jr renewed at Real Madrid.

Guimaraes has passed a medical and signed a four-year deal at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal are paying around £75m to Newcastle, a fee that could rise to £80m.

Spurs centre-back Micky van de Ven is staying put despite interest, with contract talks under way. Atletico Madrid are said to be plotting a fresh bid for Romero amid Arsenal’s approach and talks with Inter Milan. A summer exit from Tottenham appears almost certain.

Manchester United are moving for Antonee Robinson after signing wonderkid Cristian Orozco, and could hijack Liverpool’s pursuit of Ibrahim Mbaye.

Chelsea have finalised a deal for Pep Chavarria with several departures now looming. The agreement with Rayo Vallecano is worth an initial £16.3m plus add-ons.

Liverpool hope to sign both Mbaye and Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. They may also target Djed Spence and rival Arsenal for Ezri Konsa.

Tottenham are stepping up their push for Cody Gakpo and are also pursuing Savinho. Manchester City are chasing Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto, while Rodri has chosen Barcelona over Real Madrid.
