It continues to be a busy summer transfer window for clubs across English football’s top flight with players arriving and departing from clubs.
Arsenal could be lining up a shock move to sign a Chelsea midfielder while the Blues are ‘prepared’ to meet Napoli’s valuation of their much sought after defender and a current Gunners outcast has held talks about signing for a Stamford Bridge legend.
Meanwhile, Sevilla are interested in signing a Tottenham Hotspur full back because their current first choice player in that position is closing in on a move to Aston Villa.
After months of speculation it looks like Barcelona have finally won the race to sign a Leeds United star with the two clubs agreeing a record fee while Newcastle United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign a Burnley playmaker and a Watford striker this summer.
Elsewhere, a Brighton & Hove Albion striker is being linked with a move to Championship sides Sheffield United and Sunderland after spending last season on loan at Blackburn Rovers and Everton ‘look set’ to offer an England international a new long-term contract.
Finally, Manchester United are unlikely to sign a defensive midfielder this summer but are expected to complete deals for two central players in the coming weeks.
