All the latest news from the crazy world of the summer transfer window

Premier League transfer round-up: Manchester United confirm Lukaku signing

The summer transfer window is well and truly open and Premier League clubs up and down the country are spending money like it's going out of fashion.

Romelu Lukaku, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alexis Sanchez, Kylian Mbappe and Alvaro Morata are just a handful of big-name players tipped for a move this summer, with the likes of Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte all eager to bolster their squads ahead of the new 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 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.

Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Kevin Wimmer has stated his desire to leave the club, but wishes to remain in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old joined Spurs two years ago from Cologne and even signed a new five-year deal with the club last summer.

However, the Austrian has played just 29 times for the north London club, with an insistence on regular football at the heart of his wish to depart.

"It would be the most beautiful thing to stay in the Premier League," the 24-year-old told Sky Sports Austria.

"Twenty-four years (old) is exactly the age at which it is most important to play regularly and not only have to train week after week and have to sit down on the bench at the game," he added.

"It's time to look for something, where the chances of regular play are again higher," Wimmer concluded.

Southampton have been credited with an interest in the Austria international, which could develop if the club lose Virgil van Dyke this summer.
