Transfer news LIVE!

The summer window is back open for business as the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all scramble to get more major signings over the line. Arsenal have received another new update on Benjamin Sesko, while Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly told friends and family is expects to join the Gunners, while the club are said to be exploring a deal for Noni Madueke having seen interest in Rodrygo and Nico Williams go nowhere. Thomas Partey looks set to exit this month, with Martin Zubimendi in London to complete his move.

Chelsea are in talks with all of Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro and Mohammed Kudus, which would see Madueke move down the pecking order, having also made contact over Malick Fofana and Hugo Ekitike. Liverpool are set to finally announce Florian Wirtz and have booked a medical for Milos Kerkez. They are now plotting a move for Marc Guehi, but Alexander Isak remains an unrealistic target.

Manchester United are still pushing to land Bryan Mbeumo, but the Brentford star could now favour a move to Tottenham, and also have interest in Ekitike, as well as Victor Osimhen. Tottenham are weighing moves for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze and West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, while Leeds have seen a huge offer for Rodrigo Muniz rejected by Fulham, who are eyeing Ricardo Pepi.

Guehi move to Liverpool in doubt

Marc Guehi will only move to Liverpool if he is convinced he will be a guaranteed starter.

With Jarell Quansah joining Bayer Leverkusen on a £34m deal, it had been expected that the Reds would put that money towards a bid for Crystal Palace captain Guehi.

However, while that remains a possibility, Sky Sports report that Guehi will not join only as a squad player and needs sufficient assurances from Liverpool.

Chelsea told to steer clear of Garnacho

Emmanuel Petit has warned Chelsea off making a move for Alejandro Garnacho.

The Blues have previously been linked with interest in the Argentine, who has been told by Manchester United to find a new club this summer.

“Chelsea should steer clear of Alejandro Garnacho, he might be a decent guy but I didn’t like his behaviour on Manchester United’s tour,” Petit told talkSPORTBET.

“He is showing frustration but has had a lot of chances to show his potential on the pitch, but still we don’t know what to expect from him. He gives 100% and shows great commitment, but we haven’t seen him really improve as a player.

“The mentality is there on the pitch but he hasn’t been improving step by step. Chelsea already have wingers in similar situations with the same frustrations. Signing Garnacho is not a good idea.”
