Transfer news live: Arsenal given Kylian Mbappe price as Manchester United sweat over Chelsea's Nemanja Matic

Keep up with the latest from the crazy world of the summer transfer window

Premier League transfer round-up: Kyle Walker seals £45 million Man City move

The transfer window is open so, naturally, every man and his dog has been linked to Manchester United while champions Chelsea have had to watch their rivals strengthen their arsenals without restocking theirs.

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

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 joined Arsenal. Liverpool's pursuit of Naby Keita is beginning to annoy Leipzig with lots of talk but little action.

We will have all the latest transfer news and reports throughout the day right here so don't touch that dial.

Sanchez to stay?

Arsene Wenger has revealed he is in constant contact with Alexis Sanchez and is certain he will remain at Arsenal this summer.

Sanchez is into the final 12 months of his contract at the Emirates and is wanted by Manchester City, with the player wanting to make the move.

The Independent revealed this week that although Sanchez wanted to reunite with former manager Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, he and his representatives were bracing themselves for another season in north London as Wenger digs his heels in over and move away from the club.

He is aware of the enormity of selling Sanchez to a direct rival, so much so that even an offer of around £90m would not be enough to convince the Frenchman.

And Wenger is adamant that the Chilean will stay for at least another season after revealing he has been texting Sanchez throughout the summer.

“Of course,” Wenger said when asked if Sanchez will remain at Arsenal. “There is not a lot to resolve with the player. I have spoken through text and it was very positive. My thoughts are always positive.”

Mourinho reveals Morata details

“I don’t like to speak about players who aren’t ours because Morata is not our player. I am nobody to speak about players from Real Madrid,” Mourinho said.

“Yes, we have had interest, that is obvious and it’s public. We have not come to an economic agreement, that is obvious as well. But it’s a Real Madrid’s right to ask for their players the amount of money that they want.

“We do not determine what the price is of a player of Real Madrid, Real Madrid do that.

“And we didn’t arrive at an agreement with Real Madrid. I do not criticise Madrid and I am not going to criticise my board because my board has made the offer, and they have tried to reach an agreement during a time, and they didn’t come to an agreement. It’s simple.”

Mourinho has no Lukaku beef

Jose Mourinho has denied he fell out with Manchester United new-boy Romelu Lukaku while the pair were at Chelsea together – but refused to compare him to Didier Drogba.

Lukaku joined United this week for £75m, which could eventually rise to a world-record fee, from Everton, with Mourinho being the one who sold him to the Goodison Park club.

"It's quite a great experience the fact we worked together already for a few months," said Mourinho.

"During the time when I was at Chelsea and then United, and he was at Everton, our relationship was always very close, despite not working together.

"He's intelligent, he's polite, we kept the contact, the feeling, and now we are back together in different moments and I have no doubts it is going to work."

Mbappe update

Arsene Wenger has revealed that Arsenal are aware that Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe would set them back more than £100m – but insisted the Gunners are yet to bid for him.

“People have a big imagination,” Wenger said after Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Western Sydney Wanderers – the final game of their tour of Australia.

“What we know now is that Mbappe is over £100m and after that it’s free to imagine what you want.

“But we have not made any offer. I think he will stay, it looks like that. One more season. Maybe he has too much choice. In the end, people don’t move.”
