Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham are among the busiest teams of the summer window so far and are showing no signs of slowing down. The Gunners are closing in on a record-smashing £105million for Declan Rice as they finalise an agreement with West Ham ahead of the player undergoing a medical. A £65m deal for Kai Havertz was announced on Wednesday and Arsenal are now said to be in the final stages of talks with Ajax over Jurrien Timber.
Chelsea are currently clearing the decks before adding any further new faces, who they hope will be Gabri Veiga and Moises Caicedo as well as Nicolas Jackson and Angelo Gabriel. Manchester United have now agreed to sign Mason Mount for £60m and AC Milan want both Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic.
Tottenham have beaten Newcastle to the £40m signing of James Maddison as their third deal of the window already. Ange Postecoglou will next address his defence, with Edmond Tapsoba and Micky van de Ven both of interest. United want to replace the outgoing David de Gea with Andre Onana, and have been linked with Portuguese wonderkid Joao Neves. Follow all the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!

“You have Son there you have Kulusevski there and you have Richarlison there. He may look at that situation and think he may be better off elsewhere.
