Follow the latest news, rumours and gossip during summer window

With the World Cup now a thing of the past, full focus is on transfer business and Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United are all stepping up the pursuit of respective targets. The summer tournament was a huge distraction for the window’s major players, but after it was wrapped up, all top clubs are expected to accelerate their dealings. Chelsea stunned the rest of the Premier League by landing a shock deal for Morgan Rogers this week, who will undergo a medical today to complete a £117m transfer from Aston Villa. The player had previously seemed nailed on to join Arsenal, who are now said to be moving for Yan Diomande. Christos Tzolis is due to join up soon, while a move for free agent John Stones also seems to be in the offing.

So too is a move for Ezri Konsa, who has been linked with a move to the Emirates as they seek cover for the injured William Saliba, who could miss up to half of the season with a back fracture. Man United, meanwhile, remain active in the midfield market after adding Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos, with contact made over Sander Berge. They are also now dealing with the fallout of Radek Vitek’s transfer request, issued after a pre-season friendly at the weekend. Chelsea have been told how much it will cost to sign Maxence Lacroix as they consider a loan move for Mamadou Sarr.

Tottenham have already spent over £200million this summer - more than any other club in the top flight - and remain interested in further reinforcements, though they have rejected an offer from Newcastle for Lucas Bergvall and are now weighing up Djed Spence’s exit. Liverpool have tied down Dominik Szoboszlai to a new contract but are targeting a forward signing, or two, amid links to Bradley Barcola.
