Transfer news LIVE: Arsenal step up Guimaraes pursuit, Man Utd weigh up Kone bid, Liverpool join Torres race

Arsenal are set to step up their pursuit of Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes after missing out on another major target as Morgan Rogers completed his record move to Chelsea.

The Premier League champions want to strengthen their midfield and are poised to test Newcastle’s resolve, with the Magpies holding out for a fee similar to Sandro Tonali’s potential £100m move to Tottenham Hostpur.

Manchester United, meanwhile, are reportedly still interested in adding another midfielder after signing Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans and are said to be in talks with Roma for France international Manu Kone.

Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola has set out his targets for the transfer window and has confirmed the Reds want to sign another winger, with Spain’s World Cup winner Ferran Torres now appearing on their radar.
