The madness of this summer’s transfer window continues, with Premier League clubs left, right, and centre willing to spend big in a pursuit for success this season. Arsenal, who finished second in the division last term, have just landed Viktor Gyokeres for an initial £64million, and he has been given Thierry Henry’s iconic No14 shirt number as he settles in to his new surroundings in north London. Now, Mikel Arteta wants to continue his lavish spending spree, targeting Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.
As for Arsenal’s north London rivals, Tottenham were dealt a serious blow late on Saturday when Morgan Gibbs-White did a stunning U-turn to sign a new contract at Nottingham Forest, having previously agreed on a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs are also interested in Joao Palhinha, who has been a target for Manchester United in the past. Ruben Amorim’s side are in the market for a striker, considering the likes of Benjamin Sesko, Nicolas Jackson and Ollie Watkins.
Also on the striker market is Alexander Isak - who wants to leave Newcastle - and Liverpool are circling, preparing a massive bid to add the Swede to striking ranks that already contain Hugo Ekitike, who was signed from Eintracht Frankfurt last week. Chelsea are focusing on deals for two Dutchmen - RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons and Ajax’s Jorrel Hato. Follow the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!
