According to The Standard, the summer window is set for a frantic finish as Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham push hard for late business.
Arsenal will sign Igor Tyjon and the Manchester United duo Habeeb Ogunneye and James Scanlon. They also remain in the race for Victor Osimhen and have tabled a contract offer to Andria Bartishvili, dubbed the next Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Carlos Baleba will undergo a medical at Manchester United this weekend, the Brighton midfielder travelling north after an initial £65m deal, with add-ons taking it to £70m, was agreed on Friday evening. United are also targeting a new left-back, with Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde now seen as a key option alongside Lewis Hall and Jorge Salinas.
Liverpool have made a surprise approach to Real Madrid for Endrick. They continue to pursue Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, although an improved offer for Yankuba Minteh has been rejected.
Arsenal remain in pursuit of Alvarez as they look for a statement striker signing before the deadline, with suggestions Barcelona have ended their long chase and moved on. The Gunners announced Ezri Konsa’s £55m arrival from Aston Villa ahead of last night’s Premier League curtain-raiser against newly promoted Coventry, which they won 3-0.
