Follow the latest transfer news live from the second week of the summer window as Premier League clubs look to strengthen their squads, with European football also set to resume this week. Fresh from their FA Cup final victory on Sunday, Arsenal are set to dominate the headlines this week with talks ongoing to extend Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s contract beyond the end of the season, while Mikel Arteta is also targeting Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos.
Tottenham Hotspur meanwhile have been offered the chance to sign Watford captain Troy Deeney in an effort to keep the striker in the Premier League, while Aston Villa are understood to be looking at a move for Liverpool forward Divock Origi.
Manchester United are set for a busy summer with interest in both Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish, but one name who has cropped up on the radar is Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes after executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward reportedly held talks with his agent last week. United are also keeping an eye on Inter Milan’s Milan Skriniar, though the defender may be priced out of a move to Old Trafford. Follow the live news below.
Liverpool are still being linked with a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara, though French champions Paris Saint-Germain have entered the race for the Spain midfielder as he nears a move away from Bayern Munich.
Chelsea will need to break the world record for a defender's transfer fee if they want to sign Ben Chilwell, say the Mirror.
The Leicester man has been linked with a switch this summer but the Blues will have to pay more than the £80m Man United did for Harry Maguire a year ago.
An England international, Chilwell missed the end-of-season run-in through injury and his side will be in the Europa League next term, while Chelsea will feature in the Champions League.
Tottenham have opted against selling Tanguy Ndombele, despite interest from Inter Milan, say the Mail.
Spurs made the midfielder their record signing a year ago and want to give him another opportunity to make good on the promise they originally saw in him, despite a poor debut campaign.
Jose Mourinho has habitually overlooked him in the lineup after criticising him in public more than once.
Crystal Palace have had a bid for QPR attacker Eberechi Eze turned down, report the Guardian.
QPR had wanted £20m but the bid was far lower, they say - and so they're holding out hope for at least £16m.
Palace stand to lose Zaha this summer, of course, so Eze could be seen as a replacement.
Here is the latest on Willian's seemingly inevitable Chelsea exit, with Arsenal the preferred destination for the winger:
