Premier League transfer round-up: Chelsea sign Bakayoko

The transfer window is open so, naturally, every man and his dog has been linked to Manchester United while champions Chelsea have had a frustrating start to the summer.

The likes of Kylian Mbappé, Alvaro Morata, Andrea Belotti, and Alexis Sanchez have all been linked with moves in what promises to be another summer of bumper signings.

Sanchez has made his first public push to get out of the club by admitting he wants Champions League football - but where will he end up next season?

Rather impressively, a number of clubs have already set about their business early. Manchester City were the summer’s early pace setters, having already signed both Bernardo Silva and Ederson, but rivals United have caught them up landing the summer's biggest deal so far, Romelu Lukaku from Everton.

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

Chelsea finally got their hands on Antonio Rudiger while Alexandre Lacazette has joined Arsenal. Liverpool's pursuit of Naby Keita is beginning to annoy Leipzig with lots of talk but little action.

RB Leipzig have rejected a €68m (£57m) offer from Liverpool for midfielder Naby Keita, and have told the Merseyside club that he is not for sale at any price.

Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuttl believes that the Guinean "feels comfortable" at the German club, but Jurgen Klopp's side are expected to return with another bid for the midfielder, whose contract at Leipzig runs until 2020.
