Latest updates, gossip, rumours and deals from the summer transfer window

Arsenal have made a final decision over the preferred striker target, with Viktor Gyokeres coming out on top ahead of Victor Osimhen. It means the Gunners could step up their pursuit of the Sporting forward in the coming weeks, who is currently available for an £85million release clause. Arsenal have also been linked with Riccardo Calafiori, who is also of interest to Chelsea.

The Blues announced the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on Tuesday, a day after confirming the arrival of Barcelona youngster Marc Guiu. It is a fifth summer addition after Tosin Adarabioyo, Estevao Willian and Omari Kellyman and Chelsea are now being linked with a huge move for Spain's Euro 2024 star Nico Williams.

Manchester United's transfer business is picking up, with Bayern Munich defender Matthijs De Ligt and Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee key targets. Tottenham announced £30m Archie Gray as their second summer signing on Tuesday, while West Ham saw a first bid for Jean-Clair Todibo rejected by Nice.

Arsenal make Victor Gyokeres decision

Arsenal have decided against a move for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen in favour of targeting Sporting’s Victor Gyokeres.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Gunners believe Gyokeres is the cheaper option despite having a €100million (£85m) release clause.

It leaves Osimhen with few options, which is bad news for Napoli. Manchester United and Chelsea were also linked with the striker, but the former are closing in on Joshua Zirkzee and the latter are yet to decide on their preferred target.

West Ham see £25m Jean-Clair Todibo bid rejected

West Ham have seen an initial €30million (£25.4m) bid for centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo rejected by Nice.

New Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui is looking to revamp his backline this summer, with at least one and possibly two high-profile additions at centre-back.

Todibo, who was the subject of interest from Tottenham in January, has emerged as a leading target and the club are now weighing up whether to return with an improved offer, having also seen an opening bid for Wolves captain Max Kilman rejected last month.

Todibo, who joined Nice from Barcelona in 2021, has made over 125 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit, who are thought to be willing to sell this summer.

Xavi Simons transfer decision looms

Arsenal target Xavi Simons has agreed to join Bayern Munich on loan.

Personal terms are sorted between the Dutch midfielder and German giants, so say RMC Sport, ahead of his last-16 clash with Romania at Euro 2024 (which kicked off a little earlier on).

Paris Saint-Germain are yet to decide what to do with Simons this summer amid potential plans to cash in on him.

It is therefore up to PSG to green-light another loan exit or back him with a run in the first-team.
