Sunday's news, rumours and done deals in the transfer window

Transfer deadline day summer 2019: The deals done so far

Manchester United’s squad revamp continues at haste, with reports that talks with Lille are at an advanced stage to sign forward Nicolas Pepe. The club have this weekend rejected a fresh £54m offer from Inter Milan for Romelu Lukaku, but if the striker leaves a move for Pepe appears to be in the pipeline.

Arsenal are keeping tabs on Juventus and Italy forward Moise Kean, although one player who could head for the exit is Alex Iwobi after the academy product grew concerned at the prospect of Wilfried Zaha arriving as his replacement. Tottenham meanwhile are closing on a club-record transfer for Giovani Lo Celso, with a £67m offer to Real Betis set to prise the midfielder to north London.

Meanwhile, new Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce has set his sights on one of the club’s former strikers as Andy Carroll is being strongly linked with a move back to the north-east. Liverpool meanwhile may have wrapped up their transfer business for the summer already, with Jurgen Klopp admitting the club do not need to sign anyone before the transfer window deadline. Follow the latest updates below.

The summer transfer window closes at 11pm on Thursday 8 August across the Premier League and Championship. The European transfer window remains open until Monday 2 September.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has just addressed the rumours linking Spurs with a move for their former player Gareth Bale.

With all the developments today in his future, it's easy to forget that Spurs reportedly made an offer to take Bale back from Real Madrid as long as the Spanish club heavily subsidised his wages.

However, Pochettino is not aware of the club's position on Bale or whether or not they have made an offer, but he would be open to the Welshman returning if chairman Daniel Levy can structure a deal.
