Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United are all stepping up the pursuit of respective targets with the transfer window well underway.

Arsenal are set to announce a deal for Christos Tzolis, while they remain keen on sign both Morgan Rogers and Bruno Guimaraes.

Ezri Konsa has also been linked with a move to the Premier League champions as they seek cover for the injured William Saliba, and there has been a fresh Julian Alvarez update. Man United are scouting the midfield market despite signing Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos, with contact made over Hugo Larsson as a bid for Manu Kone is prepared. 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 and remain interested in further reinforcements, though they have rejected an offer from Newcastle for Lucas Bergvall. Liverpool have tied down Dominik Szoboszlai to a new contract but are targeting a forward signing, or two, amid links to Bradley Barcola.

Chelsea learn Lacroix price

Maxence Lacroix has been linked with a summer switch from Crystal Palace to Chelsea, but there has been a twist.

Previous reports suggested an offer of under £50million would be enough for the London rivals to reach an agreement.

However, according to The Times, Palace will demand at least £55m for Lacroix, who still has three years left on his contract.

Palace’s valuation is based partly on the recent transfers for other Premier League centre-backs, including Tottenham paying Brighton £52m for Jan Paul van Hecke.

Tottenham prepared for more player sales to fund major rebuild

Tottenham are prepared to facilitate further sales to help finance their rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi, as talks continue over Lucas Bergvall, writes Sam Tabuteau.

Following the £50million departure of Luka Vuskovic to Brighton earlier this week, Spurs sources told Standard Sport that the club were actively looking to become more efficient at selling players.

Historically, Tottenham have struggled to maximise value from player sales. But with De Zerbi spearheading a squad overhaul this summer, the club view this transfer window as an opportunity to turn a profit on those whose minutes might be limited by their aggressive spending.

Spurs’ summer outlay has already exceeded £200m, with six new players arriving before pre-season started last week.

DONE DEAL!

Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Johan Manzambi.

The 20-year-old midfielder arrives at Villa Park for a club-record fee of almost £59.5m.

On joining Villa, Switzerland's World Cup star said: “I have a big message: I’m very excited to be here and we know that together we can do big things.

“I’m very excited to play in Villa Park.”

Tottenham reject Bergvall offer

Tottenham have rejected an offer from Newcastle for Lucas Bergvall.

According to the Athletic, the Magpies proposed a package worth £46million for the want-away central midfielder.

Spurs have also rejected a bid from Nottingham Forest for the Sweden international but will consider a sale at right price.

Let the bidding war commence.
