The Dutch international will undergo a medical before being reunited with Erik ten Hag, who managed him at Ajax.
United are also reported to have agreed a fee for Noussair Mazraoui, around £17m including add-ons, while fellow right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is close to a move to West Ham for a similar sum.
DONE DEAL: Leicester loan Brighton's Buonanotte
Facundo Buonanotte has joined Leicester City on a season-long loan from Brighton.
The Argentina international, 19, agreed a contract extension with the Seagulls - keeping him on the south coast until 2028 - before making the temporary switch.
“I’m very happy to be here at this incredible and important Club. I hope to show my best for the group and that we achieve great things," the teenager told club media.
"I spoke a lot with the manager, and he filled me with confidence - it was an easy decision for me to come here."
DONE DEAL: Spurs confirm Solanke arrival
Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth.
The striker has signed a deal until the summer of 2030.
Solanke, 26, scored 19 Premier League goals for Bournemouth last season.
"We can announce the departure of @DomSolanke for a club-record fee," Bournemouth wrote on social media.
"Everyone at #afcb wishes Dom nothing but the best as he moves to Spurs"
Liverpool make Zubimendi decision
Liverpool are ready to go all out to sign Martin Zubimendi.
Mundo Deportivo in Spain reports that the Reds are ready and willing to pay his €60million (£51m) release clause in full to get the deal done.
Zubimendi has been courted by Arsenal and Barcelona and is happy to stay with his boyhood club, so Liverpool need to pull out all the stops.
Chelsea trio demoted to under-21s
Trevoh Chalobah, Armando Broja and Romelu Lukaku have all been told to train with the under-21s as Chelsea attempt to sell them, the Telegraph reports.
Enzo Maresca has decided that the trio aren't part of his plans and has taken action to speed up their exits.
Lukaku has been of interest to Napoli, who have his old Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte in charge. Chalobah had been keen to stay and fight for his place, but now looks poised to leave, with Crystal Palace among his admirers. Broja had a failed loan at Fulham last season.
Man Utd desperate for a left-back
Manchester United want a new left-back and have explored the possibility of signing Fenerbahce's Ferdi Kadioglu and ex-Atletico Madrid star Mario Hermoso, Mirror Football understands.
Kadioglu is the subject of £25million talks with Brighton, but United have also enquired about a deal, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both unavailable at present.
Hermoso has left Atletico Madrid and is a free agent, but at 29 he is not considered a top option and is likely to head to Saudi Arabia instead. United have also scouted Girona's Miguel Gutierrez.
DONE DEAL: West Ham sign Todibo
West Ham United have signed Jean-Clair Todibo on a season-long loan from Nice.
Todibo had been linked with Manchester United, but they were told they couldn't sign him as INEOS own both clubs. The 24-year-old centre-back has now joined Julen Lopetegui's side instead - and they will have the option to make it permanent.
West Ham can sign him next summer for £34million, while Nice will retain a sell-on clause.
Chelsea close to another deal
Chelsea are close to signing Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid after landing Pedro Neto from Wolves.
Neto has joined in a £54million move to become the Blues' 10th summer signing - and in true Chelsea fashion they're already lining up another.
Atleti striker Omorodion will cost around £34m. He's agreed a seven-year contract with the club and has arrived in London to complete a medical, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Guardiola aims dig at Man Utd and Arsenal
Pep Guardiola has once again pointed out the big spending on Manchester City's rivals.
Guardiola has long had a bee in his bonnet about what he sees as double standards, with City's transfer spend spoken about more than their rivals. He's now taken a swing at Manchester United and Arsenal, who have been busy this summer so far.
"Yes, many years they have done it," Guardiola told reporters ahead of today's Community Shield vs United. "Many years but it's not news. It's just when City spend money. Of course I am concerned for many years [about] how good they are. Because every year they are better and getting better.
Wan-Bissaka heading to West Ham
Manchester United are close to signing Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich - and that will spell the end of Aaron Wan-Bissaka's five-year stay at the club.
Wan-Bissaka was made available for transfer this summer and West Ham are set to sign the former Crystal Palace right-back. The Hammers had been chasing Southampton's Kyle Walker-Peters for the position but have now settled on Wan-Bissaka.
Race for Zaha
Wilfried Zaha looks set to return to the Premier League, but his destination is currently unclear.
Crystal Palace are keen to sign the winger for a third time, but Leicester are also in the picture for the Galatasaray player.
Toney's future still up in the air
Ivan Toney came into the summer transfer window hoping to secure a move away from Brentford, but so far nothing has materialised.
Arsenal are known admirers of the striker yet have been put off by his price tag. With Tottenham now deciding to shell out £65million on Dominic Solanke, his chances of leaving have grown smaller perhaps.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank has previously admitted Toney's exit was likely but is now expecting him to be ready to face Crystal Palace next weekend.
“Let’s see, but I’m pretty confident [Toney could start]. I think he looked good, so that’s positive," he said after Toney played the second half of Brentford's 4-4 pre-season draw against Wolfsburg. “We have said many times that Ivan is a key player for us, he’s one of our best players and he looked sharp so I’m confident he’ll be in a good place for Palace.”
Gordon focused on Newcastle
Anthony Gordon scored on his return to Newcastle last night.
Gordon was offered to Liverpool earlier in the summer but is now focused on playing for the Magpies, according to Eddie Howe.
Progress for Man Utd on double deal
Manchester United have made progress in their efforts to sign Bayern Munich pair Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
Sky Sports Germany says that Erik ten Hag wants to land both of his former Ajax players and negotiations are progressing.
De Ligt is a long-term target for United and his arrival would surely mean no move for Jarrad Branthwaite, while Mazraoui could spell the end of Aaron Wan-Bissaka's stay at United.
Nketiah nears Arsenal exit
Eddie Nketiah is close to joining Marseille on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy.
The Athletic reports that after prolonged negotiations, Arsenal have agreed to send their striker to France for the season. Marseille, who have already signed Mason Greenwood from Manchester United, will have the opportunity to make the move permanent for €30million (£25m).
He will play under former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi this season.
Tottenham complete £65m Solanke deal
Tottenham have signed Dominic Solanke in a £65million deal, according to The Athletic.
Solanke has reportedly signed a six-year deal with Spurs after completing a medical on Friday night. He will become Tottenham's record signing, eclipsing Tanguy Ndombele and Richarlison.
Liverpool face Zubimendi issue
Liverpool want Martin Zubimendi - but it won't be easy to land him from Real Sociedad.
Zubimendi is from San Sebastian, has spent his entire career at his boyhood club and is happy to stay put. His £51million release clause is there, but La Real have lunched a charm offensive to keep him, with Mikel Merino also attracting attention.
Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and his team have their work cut out.
