Ruben Amorim has deprived us of one of the strangest deals of the summer, while Arsenal will go back with an improved offer for a Spain defender\u2026<\/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 become done deals.<\/p>\n
So we start with the tittle-tattle\u2026<\/p>\n

We\u2019re keeping this in the top 20 for now because, based on absolutely nothing whatsoever, we get the sense that something could happen here. Even if it\u2019s just that Liverpool make a move upon which they are told to f*** all the way off. But selling Isak doesn\u2019t have to be the end of the world for Newcastle<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
We wanted this to happen just to watch Sancho make Jose Mourinho\u2019s head fall off. Alas, it seems Mourinho has pulled the plug after speaking to Ruben Amorim<\/strong><\/a> who, apparently, cannot lie.<\/p>\n
Of course Rashford wants to join Barca, and the forward must have received some encouragement from the Catalans that they will take him. But only on their terms. Which involve a loan, not a purchase<\/strong><\/a>. Which United must have seen coming.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49 Every Premier League transfer and release confirmed in the summer of 2025<\/strong><\/a>
\ud83d\udc49 Twenty biggest transfers in the world in 2025 summer transfer window<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
Spurs and Arsenal are reportedly set to battle it out for the FA Cup-winning England star<\/strong><\/a>, who is unlikely to leave Palace for less than his \u00a368m release clause. He\u2019s not exactly an out-and-out left-winger but that\u2019s probably where he\u2019ll play for either team, and that\u2019s a position of priority for the Gunners, while Spurs recently signed Mathys Tel permanently.<\/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
Arsenal have already had one bid rejected for the Spain Under-21 centre-back but they aren\u2019t done. A second round of talks is scheduled but given the speed at which Arsenal are working this summer, we hold little hope of a swift resolution.<\/p>\n
Newcastle failed with an opening \u00a345m offer for Elanga<\/strong><\/a>, with Forest apparently looking for \u00a360million. Which seems\u2026 excessive? Newcastle have sought to compromise at \u00a350million. Forest are thinking it over\u2026<\/p>\n
Arsenal\u2019s \u2018dream signing\u2019, apparently. And it could be a go-er since the Brazilian has had his nose put out of joint by Real, and he\u2019s asked to leave. Real have even lowered their asking price from \u00a385million since it became clear absolutely no one was prepared to pay that much. But Arsenal could find themselves chucking a small fortune at Rodrygo.<\/p>\n
The story goes that Gyokeres has told United he\u2019s up for joining them now Arsenal seem to be veering in Sesko\u2019s direction. If you think you\u2019ve heard that before, it\u2019s because you have. But United could become the Swede\u2019s most viable option for a big move this summer. Once the Red Devils sell the players that almost no one wants to buy<\/a>. <\/strong>For now, though, we\u2019d still make Arsenal favourites\u2026 just.<\/p>\n
Even if Sesko is the man most wanted at Arsenal, the Gunners see an opportunity to get more bang for their buck with Gyokeres. The Swede has made it abundantly clear that he wants to leave Sporting, going as far as telling them he won\u2019t report for pre-season training next week. So time is of the essence for Gyokeres but Arsenal are working to their own timetable even if Mikel Arteta wants a new striker to be boarding the plane for the pre-season tour on July 19.<\/p>\n
Spurs are reported to have piqued Mbeumo\u2019s interest and the prospect of staying in London to play for a manager he trusts would certainly appeal. But now United have returned to Brentford with a second offer, how serious are Spurs about reuniting Mbeumo and Thomas Frank?<\/p>\n
Chelsea were linked with the Brighton striker but Newcastle always seemed most keen, which has led to a \u00a350million offer. Brighton reportedly wanted \u00a360million initially, but the forward has made it clear he wants to move on. We would expect the Magpies and Seagulls to find common ground soon. Pedro won\u2019t be going to from the south coast to the North-East to play second fiddle. So what could that mean for Alexander Isak?<\/p>\n
This has been going on for over a year but Newcastle seem more intent to land the Clarets keeper than last summer. Trafford wants the move and Newcastle have offered Burnley \u00a325million plus add-ons. They have already secured a keeper of their own<\/strong><\/a> but we expect they\u2019ll squeeze Newcastle a bit more here.<\/p>\n
Arsenal are still refusing to pick a lane. The momentum swung with Sesko, then Gyokeres, now it seems the Slovenian is back in the running. Indeed, some reports suggest Sesko is the preferred option among the big-hitters at Arsenal but Leipzig aren\u2019t willing to roll over and have their bellies tickled. Honestly, we don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
Only the fact that United have made a second bid puts them ahead of Tottenham. We\u2019re still waiting to see Spurs\u2019 reaction and whether they counter \u2013 Brentford will pray they do something to prolong any bidding war. Apparently, United have been having conversations with the Bees so we have to assume they are confident this offer will suffice, but only if Daniel Levy and Thomas Frank don\u2019t show similar intent.<\/p>\n
