Two defenders out, two in at Liverpool? And which of Manchester United or Tottenham is leading the Bryan Mbeumo chase?<\/p>\n
With so much transfer talk doing the rounds, we\u2019re here through the summer to sift through the bullsh*t and highlight the whispers that might have some substance.<\/p>\n
Each day we\u2019re ranking the top 20 rumours involving Premier League clubs, the higher the link, the more likely we feel they are to becoming done deals.<\/p>\n
So we start with the tittle-tattle\u2026<\/p>\n

Apparently, Napoli have \u00a345million to spend on a left winger, with Grealish and Alejandro Garnacho in the frame. City value Grealish at \u00a350million, which is a much smaller gap to bridge than United\u2019s hopeless demand of \u00a370million for Garnacho. Grealish in Naples? Yes please.<\/p>\n
With Andre Onana needing punted and United focusing on other positions, this one feels unlikely. It\u2019s a weird one; we don\u2019t think it\u2019s a load of rubbish, but it\u2019s simply unrealistic right now.<\/p>\n
The Serbia striker, linked with Arsenal since the womb, has apparently approached United directly<\/strong><\/a> because he fancies a move to Old Trafford. United, for their part, are quite receptive, especially having learned Vlahovic would cost just shy of \u00a340million, which is less than Gyokeres. Keep an eye on this one.<\/p>\n
The story goes that Newcastle are<\/strong> \u2018confident of providing Rashford with an ideal stage to rebuild his career\u2019<\/strong><\/a>. But they don\u2019t want to pay for him \u2013 yet. Of course United want a permanent sale but the chances are the best they might get is a loan with an obligation.<\/p>\n

Leeds have gone hard for Muniz \u2013 but not hard enough. Fulham rejected a \u00a332million proposal, with \u00a326million guaranteed, and the Cottagers want it to be known that they won\u2019t sell the forward unless they get an offer they can\u2019t refuse. One Leeds would be daft to make.<\/p>\n
We know Liverpool like Isak. Everyone likes Isak. But the Reds seem to be lurking with intent to break the British transfer record, which will be necessary to tempt Newcastle. The Magpies want to keep the Swede, but they can sell a sale to their fans if they are getting silly money. And if Isak states a desire to move. Both things will need to happen. And they might\u2026<\/p>\n
The Seagulls forward is intent on leaving Brighton to take the next step but apparently, wherever he goes, he wants to be the first choice. Which won\u2019t happen at Newcastle for as long as Isak is around. So what does it say about Isak\u2019s future that Newcastle are about to enter talks to bring Pedro from the south coast to the North East? If that is the Magpies\u2019 intention, they will have to get around Brighton\u2019s \u00a360million valuation, which won\u2019t be easy if the Seagulls see Newcastle bank a massive fee for Isak.<\/p>\n
There was talk of Arsenal submitting a serious bid this week, but they are reluctant to meet Leipzig\u2019s valuation, which falls somewhere between \u00a368milion and \u00a385million. Which was always going to be around the going rate for a top centre-forward this summer. Where there was more noise around Arsenal choosing Sesko, the momentum is building again around the other guy.<\/p>\n
Atletico Madrid made a cheeky request to secure their \u2018dream\u2019 signing<\/strong><\/a>, but their participation in Gianni Infantino\u2019s wet dream may hold things up. We can see A-Rob being right up Diego Simeone\u2019s street.<\/p>\n
It was widely reported that Spurs are ready to sell their skipper, but only after they have milked for every last penny by parading him on pre-season tour in his homeland. Levy, that. Apparently, Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah are all prepared to pay \u00a334million for Son, who is entering the final year of his contract at Spurs.<\/p>\n
With a year left on his contract and a renewal unlikely, Palace are willing to cash in on their captain, who could be the subject of a \u2018significant offer\u2019 from the champions<\/strong><\/a> when they receive the Jarell Quansah money. The contract situation is important; it means Liverpool will be reluctant to spend over the odds, and while Palace won\u2019t have their pants pulled down, they cannot risk the prospect of their skipper leaving for free.<\/p>\n
This could be a major coup for Palace, who are in for a player strongly linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Spurs in the past. The Ivorian is only 21 years young and played 31 times as Sporting won the Portuguese top flight last season. He\u2019d be a brilliant Guehi replacement.<\/p>\n
All Spurs had to do to pique Mbeumo\u2019s intrigue was sack the manager and appoint the Cameroonian\u2019s old one. Thomas Frank\u2019s appointment has opened Mbeumo\u2019s mind to the possibility of joining Tottenham, and while he did seem pretty determined to join the Man Utd circus, there is momentum gathering again around Spurs\u2019 interest, which would allow the forward to remain in London, playing for a manager he appreciates.<\/p>\n
Mbeumo only had eyes for United before Frank\u2019s appointment at Spurs. United remained confident of getting their man, and some reports suggest they have submitted a second offer. But Brentford have got what they want \u2013 a bidding war. Beyond that, we\u2019re all guessing, but of the two interested parties, United are probably the most concerned right now.<\/p>\n
Arsenal are still keeping both Gyokeres and Sesko dangling, with both keen to move to the Emirates, but they are having more trouble charming their clubs. Sporting\u2019s stance has irked Gyokeres to the point he\u2019s not willing to meet to clear the air and the Swede could go on strike to force a move when he returns from St Tropez. Juventus have been turned down in favour of Arsenal, who may reasonably feel they can land Gyokeres for slightly less than they may have to pay for Sesko.<\/p>\n
After rumours died down, they have ramped right back up again. And just like that, Quansah has reportedly agreed personal terms with Erik ten Hag\u2019s side and is expected to join for at least \u00a330m.<\/p>\n
This one got the \u2018Here we go\u2019 treatment well over a month ago but then it all went a bit quiet. There was talk of Real Madrid sticking their nose in<\/strong><\/a>. Fear not, though, Gooners. Everyone reckons it\u2019s done. So why the wait? Zubimendi is in the middle of three-week FIFA-mandated holiday, while reports suggest both clubs would prefer for the deal to go through the books in July.<\/p>\n
This seemed to be done, but now we are told that Liverpool and Bournemouth \u2018remain in talks\u2019. Given the Cherries have signed a replacement, we presume it\u2019s the very fine details being discussed and Kerkez will be heading to Anfield imminently.<\/p>\n
Arsenal fancied their chances of landing the Norwegian wonderkid, and Villa were in talks in recent months. But City are in the mood for signings and it looks like they have agreed a \u00a312.5million deal for the 18-year-old attacking midfielder. A medical was scheduled for last week but we\u2019ve heard nothing since, while City are in the United States for a nonsense tournament<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
