The first of two summer windows opens in just two days’ time and the Premier League’s biggest clubs are already in full wheeling-and-dealing mode. Chelsea have beaten stiff competition to sign Liam Delap for £30million, and remain interested in £84m-rated Hugo Ekitike amid links with key Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres.
The Gunners, though, could have backed out of the race for the Sporting star, who will cost £60m, as they look to prioritise a deal for Benjamin Sesko, who will cost £67.5m. Arsenal are ready to book a medical for Martin Zubimendi after fully triggering the midfielder’s £51m release clause. Leroy Sane is also an option on a free transfer, though the Bayern forward’s agent has also offered him to Tottenham.
Manchester United have all but wrapped up a £62.5m signing of Matheus Cunha, but could yet lose captain Bruno Fernandes as the cash-strapped club look to raise funds for a significant squad rebuild. Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have bid £80m but want an answer today. Liverpool remain confident of wrapping up a staggering £126m move for Florian Wirtz despite late interest from Real Madrid, and could annouce Jeremie Frimpong’s arrival and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit today.
