Premier League transfer round-up: Liverpool clinch Hull's Robertson

The transfer window has swung wide open and some of the biggest names in world football are on the move.

The Premier League has gone bananas with clubs shattering records left, right and centre - Chelsea broke theirs on Friday finally completing a deal for Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata while Alexandre Lacazette joined Arsenal earlier in the summer for a cool £52m.

Manchester United splashed a non-club record fee on Romelu Lukaku - but it was still £75m - while Neymar could actually leave Barcelona in what would be a world record £195m move to PSG.

Chelsea also got their hands on Antonio Rudiger earlier this month but Liverpool's pursuit of Naby Keita is beginning to annoy Leipzig with lots of talk but little action.

The Toffees meanwhile Everton have signed six new faces including United's Wayne Rooney.

Liverpool are planning a third bid of £75m, with £40m to be paid up front, for RB Leipzig’s Naby Keita, in what is likely to be a final offer.

The Merseyside club however feel that could finally be enough to persuade Leipzig, who have so far been completely unmoving in their stance that the player is not for sale.

German sources close to the negotiations feel it has become almost a matter of principle to keep Keita, and have been steadfast in their attitude, but a bid of that size could prove extremely persuasive.

Mauricio Pochettino insists he is “calm and quiet” about the lack of business Tottenham have done so far in the transfer window because of the belief he has in Spurs’ young squad.

Spurs are looking to build upon their second-place Premier League finish last season but have so far only been weakened as a squad, with Kyle Walker moving to Manchester City for £50m.

In comparison, the team they are chasing at the top, Chelsea, have so far spent over £100m on the likes of Tiemoue Bakayoko, Antonio Rudiger and Alvaro Morata.

Bayern Munich are ready to sell teenage midfielder Renato Sanches this summer according to chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge – but only if they receive at least £43m for him.

The Portuguese international joined the German champions on the back of helping his country lift the European Championships in France last summer, with Bayern poaching him from under the noses of Manchester United for £35m from Benfica.

But he failed to establish himself in the first team at the Allianz Arena and has fallen down the pecking order following the arrivals of fellow midfielders Corentin Tolisso, James Rodriguez and Sebastian Rudy.

Liverpool are set to ramp up their summer transfer activity with a concerted effort to land both of Jurgen Klopp's top two targets.

The Reds have so far been frustrated in their pursuit of both RB Leipzig's Naby Keita and Virgil van Dijk of Southampton but are ready to redouble their efforts with the new Premier League season now just around the corner.

Here's how they could look this season:
