Express Sport provides all the latest transfer news LIVE from the summer window, including updates from Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea.
The transfer window officially opened last week in the Premier League and teams are already deep into plans to upgrade their squads. Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are among the teams looking to seal early transfers but face the challenge of several top European stars focusing on Euro 2024 this month.
United are looking to bring in another central defender after confirming Erik ten Hag's future as head coach, but Everton are yet to budge on their £75million valuation of Jarrad Branthwaite. The Red Devils have already agreed personal terms with the 21-year-old breakout star but still have some work to do in order to agree a fee.
Arsenal want a striker to provide further competition for Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, but were knocked back when wonderkid Benjamin Sesko opted to remain at RB Leipzig.
Chelsea have already made their first signing, landing Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer from Fulham, but are set for a busy window under new boss Enzo Maresca.

But Euro 2024 is set to prove to be a big stumbling block in clubs hoping to strike early deals. Players from teams looking to go all the way to this summer's final could be in action until July 14.
Their sole focus will be on international duty until their competition comes to an end, leaving many clubs waiting until their participation is over before transfer talks can commence.
Spurs and Newcastle 'offered' chance to sign free agent
Tottenham and Newcastle have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Mats Hummels.
The defender has left Borussia Dortmund as a free agent after his contract with the club expired, despite reports claiming that he could remain if Edin Terzic departed, like he has.
According to HITC, Spurs and Newcastle have been ‘offered’ the chance to sign Hummels, who is keen to remain in Europe next season.
Chelsea, West Ham and Everton have also spoken with the Germany international’s representatives, with clubs in Spain, Italy and France also offered the chance to open talks over a potential deal.
Man Utd see '£25m bid rejected'
Manchester United have reportedly seen an offer rejected for Barcelona youngster Fermin Lopez in the hope of luring him away from his boyhood side.
With departures anticipated in midfield, the Red Devils are also hoping to bolster their central ranks to ensure that Erik ten Hag has sufficient depth in that department ahead of next season.
According to Spanish news outlet Sport, Barca prospect Lopez has been identified as a target at the Theatre of Dreams and United have already made an approach to try and secure his signature.
It is claimed that the Red Devils tabled a £25million bid for the 21-year-old, but the offer was promptly rejected as Barca have no intention of parting ways with the playmaker unless an ‘irrefutable’ bid is tabled.
United and Tottenham hoping that Toney's price tag reduces again
Manchester United are reportedly keen to strike a deal for Ivan Toney this summer, but not for £60million.
Brentford recently reduced their asking price for the England international, though the new price tag has not attracted new suitors for the striker.
According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham and United are both interested in Toney but value him at £40m.
Brentford are reportedly set to ‘stick’ with their current valuation of the 28-year-old, though it remains to be seen if any of their Premier League rivals look to test their resolve with a lesser bid.
Palace set Marc Guehi asking price
Crystal Palace will reportedly demand £65million for defender Marc Guehi this summer.
The centre-back has just two years left on his contract with the Eagles and the higher powers at Selhurst Park are not willing to allow the England international to head into the final 12 months of his current deal.
According to The Telegraph, Palace won’t allow Guehi leave on the cheap though and will only entertain offers in the region of £65m for the defender.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked with the 23-year-old.
Wolves complete sensational hijack of Chelsea target
Wolves have successfully hijacked Chelsea’s pursuit of Pedro Lima.
The defender had a verbal agreement in place to join BlueCo this summer, with a move to Strasbourg expected initially.
However, it has been announced that Lima will now join Wolves ‘subject to customary conditions’.
