A new week begins in a record-breaking summer window as the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are all working hard on big moves in the transfer market ahead of the start of the new Premier League season. The Gunners have set their sights on Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze and are plotting an opening bid worth around £52m, but Tottenham have now been encouraged to trigger his release clause following injury to James Maddison.
Liverpool have had a very busy last few days after finally bid for Alexander Isak, only to promptly end their interest after Newcastle rejected the £110m offer. But a fresh twist has suggested that Liverpool could be ready to launch a second bid, while reports in Spain are linking them with interest in Rodrygo. Tottenham could also rival the Reds for Rodrygo with Heung-min Son is set to join LAFC for around £15m. Joao Palhinha’s loan arrival has been confirmed.
Manchester United and Newcastle’s interest in Benjamin Sesko further complicates matters, as Isak will not be allowed to leave unless Eddie Howe is able to sign at least one replacement. Newcastle’s £70m Sesko bid has been rejected, and Man Utd are expected to lodge their own. Chelsea’s interest in Alejandro Garnacho could aid Man Utd’s moves, though the Blues also want Xavi Simons having confirmed the signing of Jorrel Hato.
