While the Premier League is now in full swing, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all remain active in this summer’s transfer market. At Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has hinted he is not done yet in the window with Yeremy Pino and Youri Tielemans their top targets – despite the clock ticking on a summer move for the Leicester star in particular.
Thomas Tuchel in particular is understood to be desperate to add to his squad, with a £45m bid Everton’s Anthony Gordon rejected. Frenkie de Jong and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remain key targets as a move for Cesare Casadei nears completion.
Spurs, meanwhile, have been frustrated in their attempts to sign Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo and could turn to James Garner as a surprise alternative, while Destiny Udogie closes in on a move. Antonio Conte’s clear-out also continues at a pace. Follow all the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours below!

“It’s a big honour for me to be here, with this big team, a big club with a big history,” he told the club’s in-house medal.
“I can attack and defend. I like to show my quality to attack one v one, dribble… It’s an honour to play under a big coach like Antonio Conte. He knows football very well and I’m going to grow a lot.
“I think the Premier League is the biggest league in the world, the most difficult and I like challenges. I’m excited to start and, for me, to play for a big team like Tottenham is a big dream come true.
“I want to grow as much as I can, to understand the game a little bit more and obviously play my best season I can in Serie A.”
