Transfer news latest: Arsenal target Kenan Yildiz, Alvarez update, Liverpool pursue Barcola, Man Utd, Chelsea | OneFootball

The summer window is gathering pace, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham chasing reinforcements days before the Premier League kicks off. Arsenal are linked with Kenan Yildiz, Julian Alvarez and Victor Osimhen in attack, plus Ezri Konsa and Jarrel Quansah in defence.

According to The Athletic, Arsenal have less than a fortnight to strengthen their front line, prioritising the left wing but open to a right-sided option if one emerges. Yildiz and Alvarez are viewed as long-term targets, and it is unclear whether a deal can be struck before Deadline Day.

United are aware of interest in Bruno Fernandes, with reports of a £43m bid from Galatasaray, and are said to be interested in Adam Wharton and Kim Min-jae. Arsenal chief executive Richard Garlick has confirmed the club are happy with Myles Lewis-Skelly amid links to United, after recent doubts saw United and Chelsea offered the chance to sign the 19-year-old.

Liverpool are expected to pass up the option to sign Ibrahim Mbaye but have taken another significant step towards landing his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Bradley Barcola.

Chelsea are braced for a Manchester City bid for Enzo Fernandez, while Pedro Neto has admirers in Saudi Arabia. Tottenham are closing in on Savinho and hope to then add Cody Gakpo to their attack.

Alvarez may not be heading to Barcelona after all, potentially boosting Arsenal, and Barcelona are assessing alternatives with Atletico Madrid unwilling to sell to their rivals. Rodri has signed a four-year Barcelona contract after leaving Manchester City, with a fee in the region of £65m.
