<\/p>\nSC Freiburg midfielder Merlin Rohl is a target for Everton in a deal that could cost \u20ac20 million. <\/p>\n
David Moyes is looking to bring in midfield and defensive reinforcements. <\/p>\n
Rohl, 23, is a Germany under-21 international and the club\u2019s have spoken about a loan with an obligation to buy. <\/p>\n
Aston Villa are monitoring Liverpool\u2019s Harvey Elliott who will be squeezed further down the pecking order by Alexander Isak\u2019s arrival. <\/p>\n
Villa may have to move on Emi Buendia first if the interest in the England Under-21 international is to be realised. <\/p>\n
AC Milan, meanwhile, made a \u20ac15 million offer for Joe Gomez on Sunday night but that was prior to complications over a move for Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. <\/p>\n
Ademola Lookman offered to Tottenham<\/p>\n
Gary Jacob<\/p>\n
Ademola Lookman has been offered to Tottenham Hotspur although Atalanta only want to sell the forward. The Italian club rejected Bayern Munich\u2019s request for a loan with an option to buy. Lookman scored 20 goals, including five in the Champions League, and claimed seven assists in 40 matches last season.<\/p>\n
Tottenham have been looking for a second attacking player, after completing a deal for Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Atalanta valued Lookman around \u00a343million when a proposed move to Inter Milan fell through this summer, after the player had agreed a five-year deal.<\/p>\n
Lookman, 27, came through at Charlton Athletic before joining Everton and then RB Leipzig. He moved to Atalanta in 2022 and was named the 2024 CAF Player of The Year.<\/p>\n
Burnley close in on loan deal for Florentino Luis<\/p>\n
Peter Rutzler<\/p>\n
Burnley are close to completing the signing of Florentino Luis from Benfica on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old has given the greenlight to the transfer and is expected conclude the final formalities of the deal this morning. Should the deal go through, it could become a club-record signing for Burnley if the deal is made permanent.<\/p>\n
Luis is a defensive midfielder who has previously spent time on loan Monaco and Getafe. He has since made more than 100 league games at Benfica.<\/p>\n
Man City will let Ederson leave \u2013 if they can agree deal for Gianluigi Donnarumma<\/p>\n
Charlotte Duncker<\/p>\n
Manchester City are in talks with Gianluigi Donnarumma after Fenerbahce made an offer of around \u20ac14million for their Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson. <\/p>\n
City are ready to sell their first-choice goalkeeper to the Turkish side but only if they can agree a deal for Donnarumma to come in as a replacement. <\/p>\n
The Italian goalkeeper, 26, has a year left on his contract at Paris Saint-Germain but has been frozen out and has no future with the French side. <\/p>\n
Ederson only leaves the club today if an agreement can be reached with Donnarumma. <\/p>\n
Sunderland in talks to sign Ajax striker Bryan Brobbey<\/p>\n
Peter Rutzler<\/p>\n
Sunderland are in talks to sign Ajax striker Bryan Brobbey, as Chelsea try to finalise the recall of striker Marc Guiu.<\/p>\n
Guiu, the 19-year-old Spanish striker, joined Sunderland on loan earlier this month but after an injury to Liam Delap, Chelsea have sought to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
There is no recall option in his loan deal so Chelsea cannot recall Guiu unilaterally. Sunderland have to agree to the terms of a recall, hence the negotiations after Chelsea\u2019s request. Bobbey, 23, has eight caps for the Netherlands and his arrival on a permanent basis should pave the way for Guiu to return to Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Guiu\u2019s return follows Nicolas Jackson, whose loan move to Bayern Munich was cancelled by Chelsea on Saturday and the German champions ended any hope of a further agreement last night.<\/p>\n
It is not clear at this stage whether Guiu\u2019s return may facilitate another departure for Jackson, which while unlikely, can\u2019t be ruled out at this point. <\/p>\n
Manchester United agree deal with Real Betis for Antony<\/p>\n
Charlotte Duncker<\/p>\n
The Antony saga at Manchester United seems to be coming to its conclusion after an agreement was reached with Real Betis. <\/p>\n
The La Liga side issued a statement over the weekend which said they were withdrawing from the deal because they couldn\u2019t agree on the financial side but now it has been restructured and the winger will fly out to Spain to complete his transfer today. <\/p>\n
It is understood an agreement was reached of around \u20ac25 million and 50 per cent sell on clause. That had initially been that United would be due a share of half of any profit from a future sale but now it means they would get 50 per cent of any deal down the line. <\/p>\n
It is not clear what the individual agreement with the player, who impressed on loan there last season is, after he was looking for one of the clubs to cover the \u20ac4m in wages he would be missing by leaving United early. However, United sources say they are no longer paying him anything. <\/p>\n
While Antony is on his way out Kobbie Mainoo is expected to stay. The midfielder had asked to leave on loan due to a lack of minutes this season but Amorim is keen to keep him as part of the squad. <\/p>\n
Jadon Sancho is one to keep an eye on with Villa one of a number of clubs interested in taking the forward on loan. <\/p>\n
Fulham hopeful of signing two wingers<\/p>\n
Peter Rutzler<\/p>\n
Fulham are hoping to close deals for two wingers today. <\/p>\n
Shakhtar Donetsk winger Kevin began a medical at Fulham yesterday ahead of a club-record \u20ac40 million (\u00a334.6 million) transfer, while Samuel Chukwueze, the AC Milan winger, could also join him at Craven Cottage as he is due in London today for a medical ahead of a loan transfer.<\/p>\n
Fulham have agreed to sign both players, with Kevin due to sign on a permanent basis and Chukwueze on loan with an option to buy, however both deals are still not signed off yet complete, with final details still to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ESRA BILGIN\/ANADOLU VIA GETTY IMAGES<\/p>\n
The west London club are looking to improve their frontline before the 7pm deadline. Marco Silva said this week that the club need to sign two wingers and a midfielder after an exceptionally quiet window. Fulham released Willian and lost Reiss Nelson, at the conclusion of his loan deal, this summer. They have retained an interest in re-signing Nelson from Arsenal, who they have tried to sign on loan, while they have also been mooted as an option for Chelsea\u2019s Raheem Sterling, who would prefer to stay in London.<\/p>\n
Kevin, a 22-year-old winger, has scored four times in Shakhtar\u2019s Champions League qualification phase this season. Fulham\u2019s previous record-deal was Emile Smith Rowe\u2019s \u00a334million move from Arsenal. <\/p>\n
So far Fulham have only signed a back up goalkeeper, Benjamin Lecomte, 34, from Montpellier.<\/p>\n
Winger Martial Godo, 22, is also expected to leave the club for Strasbourg before the deadline on a permanent basis. That deal is still not done either. <\/p>\n
Oliver Glasner stance making move for Marc Guehi difficult<\/p>\n
Paul Joyce<\/p>\n
Marc Guehi to Liverpool currently looking difficult essentially due to the stance of Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner. <\/p>\n
Palace chairman Steve Parish has said the defender cannot leave on a free transfer having entered final year of his contract, but his manager is of a different opinion. <\/p>\n
This year, for the first time, the summer transfer window will close at 7pm, as opposed to the traditional 11pm. But, as usual, we may still get some deals announced after the fact, if a club submitted the deal sheet in time.<\/p>\n
Nicolas Jackson\u2019s hopes of Chelsea exit dashed<\/p>\n
Nicolas Jackson\u2019s hopes of pushing through a move to Bayern Munich were dashed on Sunday night as the German club decided against trying to find an agreement with Chelsea on deadline day.<\/p>\n
Jackson had stayed in Munich over the weekend as he and his entourage tried to broker a new agreement after Chelsea cancelled his prospective loan move on Saturday. Chelsea withdrew from a deal that would have involved Jackson joining Bayern on loan with an option to buy. They had informed the Senegal striker that he no longer had permission to undergo a medical and that he must return to London.<\/p>\n

The Denmark midfielder suffered ankle and knee problems which combined sidelined him for nearly four months of the campaign.<\/p>\n Juventus held an interest in O\u2019Riley but ultimately were unable to agree a deal with Brighton.<\/p>\n This summer he told Danish media that he felt he had been played out of position at Brighton after leaving Celtic. He also had interest from clubs in Italy.<\/p>\n O\u2019Riley started both of Brighton\u2019s first two games of the season but was an unused substitute during the win over Manchester City on Saturday.<\/p>\n Virgil van Dijk: Of course I want Joe Gomez to stay <\/p>\n Hamzah Khalique-Loonat<\/p>\n Virgil van Dijk has said he wants Joe Gomez to stay at Liverpool amid interest from Crystal Palace for the defender.<\/p>\n Liverpool rejected a proposal from Palace to allow Gomez to join the club on loan as part of a deal to bring Marc Gu\u00e9hi to Anfield.<\/p>\n Gomez, 28, is Liverpool\u2019s third-choice centre back and featured in their 1-0 win over Arsenal, when he replaced Ibrahima Konate in the second half.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen he played with the circumstances he is in, personally, he was outstanding,\u201d Van Dijk said of Gomez, who helped Liverpool keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n DAVID PRICE\/ARSENAL FC VIA GETTY IMAGES<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy, but that says a lot about him as a person, and as a player: only appreciation.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a good friend of mine, I care about him, so I was pleased for him that he could do it today, and maybe a lot more this season.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked whether he wanted Gomez to stay, Van Dijk was unequivocal, \u201cOf course, he\u2019s my friend!\u201d he said, before accepting that his wishes will not determine Gomez\u2019s future at the club which he joined in 2015 from Charlton Athletic, for a fee of \u00a33.5 million.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t work like that,\u201d Van Dijk continued. \u201cI\u2019m not the boss, this is not a friendly business.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s see what happens.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course I want him to stay, as a friend and as a player.\u201d<\/p>\n Gomez, who has 15 England caps, has a contract that runs until 2027 at Liverpool.<\/p>\n West Ham target Cresswell and Harwood-Bellis with Aguerd set to leave<\/p>\n Gary Jacob<\/p>\n West Ham United want to sign another player after agreeing a \u00a320 million deal in principle for Nayef Aguerd to join Marseille, where he should join former defensive team-mate Emerson. <\/p>\n The centre back Aguerd played in the opening two league defeats but was omitted from the 3-0 win away to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, when Graham Potter switched to a back four from a wing-back system. <\/p>\n Aguerd played on loan for Real Sociedad last season after moving to east London for \u00a330million in June 2022. West Ham are considering Charlie Cresswell, who left Leeds United for Toulouse last summer, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis as a replacements. Harwood-Bellis moved to Southampton on a permanent \u00a320 million deal from Manchester City last summer.<\/p>\n Marseille are set to sign Emerson for \u00a3700,000 from West Ham, who also expect to offload Guido Rodr\u00edguez, the Argentina defensive midfielder.<\/p>\n Aston Villa exploring loan deal for Jadon Sancho<\/p>\n Gary Jacob<\/p>\n Aston Villa are exploring a loan move for Jadon Sancho, the Manchester United forward whose proposed move to Roma fell through two weeks ago.<\/p>\n The 25 year old has a year left on his contract, worth at least \u00a3250,000 a week, although United have an option to extend it by a season until 2027 and would prefer to sell him. <\/p>\n Chelsea decided to pay a penalty fee of \u00a35million rather than buy Sancho on a permanent basis for \u00a325million after a disappointing loan spell at Stamford Bridge last season. Sancho spent the second half of the previous season on loan at Borussia Dortmund. Villa have recouped \u00a316 million more than they have spent this summer, bringing in Yasin Ozcan, Zepiqueno Redmond, Marco Bizot, Modou Keba Cisse, and Evann Guessand.<\/p>\n Roma ended the talks about a \u00a317million deal, accusing Sancho of not having the right \u201cmotivation\u201d to move to the Italian club, who instead signed Leon Bailey on loan from Villa. \u201cSancho is a strong player, who was linked with all the Italian clubs,\u201d Frederic Massara, the Roma football director, told SportMediaset. \u201cAt the moment, [ a move] is only a suggestion, because it doesn\u2019t seem as if there are the right conditions and above all, the motivation to carry on these negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019re close with Victor Lindelof deal and are expecting others, says Unai Emery<\/p>\n Ian Whittell<\/p>\n Unai Emery will clearly want to sign a senior keeper if Emiliano Mart\u00ednez leaves for Manchester United, especially as current number two Marco Bizot hardly inspired confidence in defeat against Crystal Palace last night.<\/p>\n \u201cI want Marco Bizot, a young player, Emi Mart\u00ednez or another,\u201d said Emery.<\/p>\n Ironically, Villa have been linked with Royal Antwerp keeper Senne Lammens, who is also a United target, should they lose Mart\u00ednez.<\/p>\n One player who will be joining Villa today is free agent former Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof.<\/p>\n \u201cHe brings experience and he is a good player,\u201d said Emery. \u201cWe are close to the line with him and we are expecting to have some (other new) players.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know, is the reality. Of course, we are working, we are busy, tomorrow morning we will be working until the last moment at 7pm, with everything we have. But I am confident we are going to start again after the break, with new energy and focus completely.\u201d<\/p>\n Unai Emery: Uncertainty over Emiliano Mart\u00ednez\u2019s future not helping us<\/p>\n Ian Whittell<\/p>\n Aston Villa last night insisted they have not received a Manchester United offer for goalkeeper Emiliano Mart\u00ednez, despite manager Unai Emery leaving him out of the 3-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace due to his lack of focus.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was not available,\u201d said Emery. \u201cTomorrow is the deadline and we will see how we finish it. We need the players focused 100 per cent, and he wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n Emery was reluctant to go into further detail about the Argentinian international although the Villa manager is adamant that uncertainty over his situation is one of many issues that have adversely effected his team in the new season.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is not helping us,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd this is one of the circumstances we are having now that is not helping. Tomorrow, we will see how we are at the close of the transfer window.<\/p>\n \u201cFor sure it is not helping and we have other circumstances that are not helping us to be mentally like we were last year. But tomorrow, we are going to set everything.\u201d<\/p>\n Emery certainly wore the look of a man who is expecting that United offer, reportedly around \u00a340 million, to arrive today and for whom the window cannot close quickly enough.<\/p>\n Oliver Glasner: We have to keep hold of Marc Gu\u00e9hi<\/p>\n Ian Whittell<\/p>\n Oliver Glasner was unequivocal in his belief that Crystal Palace must hold onto Marc Gu\u00e9hi on the final day of the window, challenging chairman Steve Parish to show he shares the same ambition for the club.<\/p>\n An unbeaten six-match start to the season for Glasner\u2019s side was topped by an impressive 3-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday, featuring a star performance from Gu\u00e9hi who is the subject of intense interest from Liverpool.<\/p>\n But his manager believes Gu\u00e9hi is a test case for Palace to show they have ambitions to improve upon last season\u2019s FA Cup-winning campaign.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not the wish or a gift to Oliver Glasner,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s necessary for playing a successful season, and we had a great start. <\/p>\n \u201cWe are the first time in European football and I think our fans deserve to have the best players available, and I know if we don\u2019t sell Marc, Marc will accept it, because he loves Crystal Palace. He loves the team, he feels the appreciation he has, and we also feel the same from his side, so that why I just have to say we need to keep him. <\/p>\n \u201cI think this group, players and staff, did fantastic in the last couple of months. And if we want to progress, we have to keep it. If we sell, we accept, maybe falling a step back.\u201d<\/p>\n A full guide to the Premier League ins and outs<\/p>\n You can keep on top of the all the top-flight business from over the summer with our very handy (if we do say so, ourselves) summer transfer window guide.

Spurs need another attacker after completing a \u00a351million deal for Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig last week. Tottenham tried to sign Kolo Muani before he joined Juventus on loan in January. The Frenchman scored eight goals in 16 league matches for the Italian club, who have been in talks to re-sign him this summer.<\/p>\n Tottenham lost James Maddison through a serious knee injury for most of the season, Son Heung-min moved to Los Angeles FC and a proposed deal to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest collapsed. Manchester City then indicated that Savinho, the winger, would stay.<\/p>\n Alexander Isak to Liverpool<\/p>\n Liverpool last night agreed a British-record fee of \u00a3125million with Newcastle United for the transfer of Alexander Isak.<\/p>\n The Sweden forward will undergo a medical in Liverpool today before completing a move on a six-year contract.<\/p>\n Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content.
