There is still a €10m gap between Arsenal and Leipzig on Benjamin Sesko, as the London club’s staff have also discussed a potential move for Chelsea’s Noni Madueke.

Mikel Arteta wants a striker as his priority this summer and Sesko is the main target, with all parties currently keen on a deal.

Tottenham had been keen to reunite new manager Thomas Frank with Bryan Mbeumo, making Manchester United’s improved offer something of a setback.

It seem Mbeumo will be heading to Old Trafford after all and Spurs have switched direction.

Talksport believe that Spurs will now focus their attentions to Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace as they consider parting with club captain Son Heung Min.

This morning reports have appeared that Arsenal are also interested in Eze meaning Tottenham would have to move quickly should they actively want to pursue a deal for the Palace winger.

Liverpool’s signing of Florian Wirtz could leave something of a squeeze for places in their attacking midfield and forward lines – and might that make Darwin Nunez available for a move?

The Uruguayan is, Football Italia report, most keen on a transfer to Napoli if surplus to Arne Slot’s requirements.

Liverpool have signed Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for £40m as Arne Slot has taken his summer spending to £170m.

The left-back agreed a five-year contract at Anfield and passed a medical before becoming Liverpool’s third signing of the month.

The 21-year-old, who has been shortlisted for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, could prove the long-term replacement for Andy Robertson.

Liverpool are interested in competing for the services of Sporting’s wantaway striker Viktor Gyokeres.

That’s according to Portuguese outlet Correio da Manha, which reports that the Premier League club have made an initial enquiry over Sporting’s asking price, thought to be around €80m (£69m).

Manchester United have been strongly linked with Gyokeres this summer after the Swedish international scored 54 goals last season. Arsenal are the only club to have submitted a concrete offer and Gyokeres is reported to prefer a move to the Emirates to Old Trafford.

Liverpool’s involvement could now throw Arsenal’s plans into chaos, as Arne Slot seeks to replace Darwin Nunez, a target for Italian champions Napoli.

Manchester United are moving closer to signing Bryan Mbeumo after Brentford accepted part of their offer.

United returned this week with a second bid, this time of £45m with £15m in add-ons. The initial fee has been agreed, according to the Guardian, and now it is only a matter of haggling over the extras.

Mbeumo is expected to triple his £45k-per-week salary with a move to Old Trafford.

Thomas Partey’s contract at Arsenal has entered its final days, and according to Fabrizio Romano, there will be no last-gasp extension.

A deal for Brentford’s Christian Norgaard, which is progressing, appears to be Arsenal’s solution to replace the midfielder.

Arsenal have agreed a fee of £10m plus add-ons to sign Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard.

Sky Sports News revealed that the add-ons amount to around £5m if they are all met, taking the total value of the deal to a possible £15m.

Negotiations are ongoing for the 31-year-old but this transfer is expected to get over the line in the next couple of days.

Arsenal made the move after contract extension talks with Thomas Partey began to stall.

Arsenal are in talks with the representatives of Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze reports The Sun.

They claim that Gunners chief Andrea Beta met with Eze’s people to discuss the details of a potential transfer.

Eze is on the market for around £68m and Arsenal would need to battle Tottenham to do a deal.

Their main priority is still an out-and-out striker with an attacking winger seen as a bonus.

If any move for Eze materialises that would reduce the funds available to purchase a centre forward with Arsenal still negotiating a price for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
