The summer window is in full flow as the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham all work on getting huge deals over the line. Arsenal remain interested in signing both Morgan Rogers and Bruno Guimaraes, which could cost a combined £200million, and are now being linked with Esri Konsa. The Gunners were confident of snapping up wonderkid Jeremy Monga, but Manchester City have pounced. Tottenham are expected to announce the £100m signing of Sandro Tonali, and are now said to be setting their sights on Eli Junior Kroupi and have been offered Rafael Leao. Spurs are not messing about. Chelsea have ended their interest in Granit Xhaka after failing to lure him from Sunderland, but are close to sealing a deal for Pep Chavarria. Real Madrid have confirmed they will not purse Enzo Fernandez. Manchester United are assessing a number of midfield targets - including Alex Scott, Felix Nmecha, Aurelien Tchouameni and Carlos Baleba - and also want to pry Crysencio Summerville from West Ham. Liverpool are being linked with surprise swoops for Pedro Neto and Spurs target Savinho as they look likely to miss out on Yan Diomande. Follow the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip live below! Latest transfer news and rumours Arsenal plan new £60m Bruno Guimaraes bid Arsenal’s pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes does not appear to have been diminished by Newcastle team-mate Sandro Tonali’s imminent £100m transfer to rivals Tottenham. Tonali could officially join Spurs as soon as today after the Italian international arrived from Milan on Thursday in order to undergo a medical following an agreement between the two clubs. Newcastle seem unlikely to sell both Tonali and fellow midfielder - and captain - Guimaraes in the same summer window, having already seen Anthony Gordon leave for Barcelona, though The Sun claim that Arsenal have not given up hope when it comes to the Brazilian. They say the Gunners still believe that a deal can be made and are set to return with an offer of around £60m, having seen an initial approach for Guimaraes rebuffed last week. Getty Tottenham want £80m Junior Kroupi Tottenham want to make Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi their next blockbuster signing, with their spending spree showing no signs of slowing. Roberto De Zerbi wants his new signings completed before pre-season, which starts next week. Spurs face stiff competition from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain for the 20-year-old, while Bournemouth are demanding more than £80 million according to The Independent. Tottenham are also monitoring AC Milan's Rafael Leao and Manchester City's Savinho. Getty Man Utd pull out of wonderkid deal Manchester United have decided to pull out of the race to sign Mexican wonderkid Gilberto Mora. The Daily Mirror claims that United monitored the 17-year-old for six months and continued scouting him during the World Cup, but have decided against entering a bidding war. Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all interested, while Mora's new Tijuana contract includes a £20million release clause. Getty Tottenham to announce £100m Tonali today? Today could well be the day for Sandro Tonali and Tottenham. It has been an incredible week on the transfer front for Spurs, who have agreed a deal with Newcastle for the in-demand Italy star said to be worth an initial £92.5m plus a further £7.5m in add-ons. That is after having already beaten Manchester United to the signing of Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes, who joined from rivals West Ham for £85m on Wednesday. Tonali flew in from Milan on Thursday in order to undergo a medical with Tottenham and confirmed the move during a brief interview with Sky in Italy that was conducted at the airport. Presuming all went well with those medical tests, Tonali is expected to be confirmed as a Spurs player over the weekend. AFP via Getty Images Tottenham offered Leao as AC Milan set asking price Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign Rafael Leao. The Portuguese winger has decided to leave AC Milan, and La Gazzetta dello Sport report that several European giants are monitoring his situation this summer. Barcelona and Manchester United have both made enquiries, with Milan are willing to consider offers worth around £50million as they reshape their squad under new manager Ruben Amorim. The 27-year-old is believed to favour a move to either the Premier League or La Liga, but has not been the subject of any firm bids yet. Getty Man City complete Arsenal hijack Manchester City have successfully hijacking Arsenal’s move for Jeremy Monga. Fabrizio Romano reports that City have agreements in place on both the club and player side for the Leicester wonderkid. They will pay a fee of £10m for the 16-year-old winger following crucial talks over his long-term role at the Etihad Stadium with new manager Enzo Maresca. Arsenal had been locked in talks over Monga for weeks, but could not agree a fee for the highly-rated England youth talent who was also briefly linked with Brentford. Getty Man Utd talks for Summerville denied Manchester United remain interested to sign Crysencio Summerville, but suggestions they have entered talks are not true. That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, who has said: "United's interest in Summerville is not as advanced as some reports suggest. No talks have opened." It follows reports that United had intensified their interest. However, it is midfield Man Utd are focusing on rather than attack as it stands. Getty Chelsea won't give up on Xhaka Sunderland expect Granit Xhaka to stay at the club after fresh talks with Chelsea, writes Dom Smith. Standard Sport understands that the Black Cats consider Chelsea’s pursuit of Xhaka to be over and have reminded the Blues that their captain is not for sale. While Sunderland felt Chelsea’s £8million offer last week to buy the Swiss international was disrespectful and undervalued the player, Chelsea’s interest in the influential 33-year-old midfielder remains. Xhaka is attracted by the proposition of playing under Alonso again. Sunderland insist, however, that he has now restated his commitment to the club. Chelsea retain a certain amount of hope that the situation might be retrievable, even though Sunderland have maintained throughout that Xhaka is strictly not for sale. Read more here! London Standard Man Utd offered Kounde Manchester United have been offered Barcelona defender Jules Kounde. The French international is highly regarded, but any deal is expected to cost £50million in a transfer fee and more than £200,000 per week in wages. Man Utd are not currently expected to pursue a move for versatile defender, TEAMtalk reports. A left-back remains a priority for the summer window though. PA Arsenal determined to sign Rogers Arsenal are prepare for talks with Aston Villa over Morgan Rogers to drag on. There is an acceptance that negotiations will take some time, with Villa currently demanding well over £100 million. Villa are under no pressure to sell, with Rogers tied to a long-term contract until 2031, putting them in a strong negotiating position. While Arsenal are considered favourites, Chelsea and Manchester City are also monitoring developments. If Rogers eventually departs, Villa could turn their attention to Tottenham midfielder James Maddison as a potential replacement. London Standard Latest updatesOlder updates
