Transfer news – LIVE!

The start of the new Premier League season is just weeks away and all of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are expected to make further signings before it commences. The Gunners sealed a deal for Riccardo Calafiori earlier this week and are targeting a move for Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino, although could also turn their attention to a striker.

Napoli left Victor Osimhen out of their recent pre-season squad, fuelling speculation. Chelsea, who are set to sign Filip Jorgensen and Aaron Anselmino are known to hold an interest in the Nigeria international and reports suggest the player is keen on the Blues.

Follow all the latest news, gossip and rumours including updates on Federico Chiesa to Tottenham and Joey Veerman to Liverpool below!
