Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham all suggest high-profile moves during a wild start to the summer window.
The Gunners hope to sign Raphinha after agreeing on Gabriel Jesus, with Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez also a key target for Mikel Arteta. Chelsea are stepping up interest in Matthijs de Ligt and Raheem Sterling amid a possible clear run against Ousmane Dembele as part of a £ 150m rebuild under Todd Boehly. West Ham, however, remain adamant that Declan Rice is not for sale at any price as they conclude the signing of Alphonse Areola.
Tottenham are expected to draw attention to Richarlison in the meantime and have also lodged an inquiry into Josko Gvardiol at RB Leipzig while talks over Djed Spence continue. Manchester United finally join the signing of Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona, who is preparing a final bid for Robert Lewandowski.
