Arsenal are finally closing in on a deal to sign Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna with a £42.1million transfer fee set to be agreed. The next step will be booking a medical with personal terms sealed. The Gunners will then turn their attention to signing Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad - although Chelsea are interested in the Spanish midfielder too.

The Blues have just made the signing of Caleb Wiley official and look to be trying to get Trevoh Chalobah out the door . Tottenham meanwhile have sold Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and want £60m for Richarlison amid interest from Saudi Arabia, while Jacob Ramsey is a possible arrival. Man City, though, are ready to enter the race for Eberechi Eze.

Manchester United are focused on landing a midfielder with Manuel Ugarte a top target and Youssouf Fofana now also on their radar, while talks for Matthijs de Ligt continue and Jonathan Tah has emerged as another option.
