Premier League clubs are in a race against the clock to get deals over the line before the summer transfer window is put on pause by the Club World Cup. The window will shut later on today, prompting numerous clubs to accelerate deals over the coming hours.

Liverpool remain locked in talks to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, while Chelsea are also pushing on three different fronts as Enzo Maresca’s transfer wishes are answered.

Manchester United are trying to add Bryan Mbeumo to their attacking ranks before the window shuts, but Brentford are in no hurry to strike an agreement and the door has been left open for a hijack attempt from Tottenham. Spurs may also go a step closer towards appointing Bees boss Thomas Frank.

Cherki fulfils lifelong dream

By Jeremy Cross

The French international has joined City from Lyon in a £30million deal after agreeing a five-year contract at the Etihad.

The midfielder, 21, becomes Pep Guardiola's third signing of the summer after the arrivals of Rayan Aït-Nouri and Marcus Bettinelli, and will be available for the upcoming Club World Cup.

He said: “This is a dream for me. Honestly, to be joining a club like Manchester City and have the opportunity to make the next step in my career here is something very, very special.

“I have worked so hard for this all my life. I love this sport, and I can’t wait to develop further here in Manchester with Pep and his backroom staff.

“Everyone knows how good City are - they have been so successful for many years now. The responsibility to help the team continue winning is something I want to embrace.

“I would only leave Lyon for a project I really believe in and everything at City suggests I can develop my game and help the team be successful in the future. I can't wait to show City fans what I can do.”

Former Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez, who is now plying his trade for Al-Ahli, has been approached, although there has been pushback from his current employers.

And former Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante, who plays for Al-Ittihad, has also been contacted over a transfer ahead of the tournament.

Why is the summer transfer window a bit different this year?

The summer transfer window has been split into two parts this year to give teams an opportunity to sign players ahead of the new-look Club World Cup, which is due to get underway this weekend.

The summer transfer window opened on Sunday, June 1 but will close at 7pm tonight. It will then open for a second time next Monday and remain open until 7pm on Monday, September 1.

And after being quizzed about his future in the aftermath of South Korea’s 4-0 win against Kuwait, Son explained: “I still have one more year left on the contract.

Wolves field Kalajdzic loan interest

Besiktas, Werder Bremen and Espanyol have all shown interest in taking Sasa Kalajdzic on loan this summer, Express Sport understands.

The Wolves striker, 27, has endured a torrid time with injuries since landing at Molineux three years ago.

And a temporary move away is being considered to get him back up to speed.

Wolves are not holding out for a permanent transfer, which is deemed extremely unlikely due to his recent injury problems.

And staying at the club to compete with Jorgen Strand Larsen has not been categorically ruled out.

Kalajdzic missed the whole of last season while recovering from a serious knee injury, which kept him out for 14 months in total, but he is now back in training.

The Austrian international played the best football of his career at Stuttgart, for whom he scored 24 goals in 60 games between 2019 and 2022.

Martin Zubimendi is Arsenal-bound

Despite reports claiming that Real Madrid remain keen to hijack Arsenal's pursuit of Martin Zubimendi, the Gunners reportedly consider the move closed.

According to The Athletic, Zubimendi is now widely expected to be an Arsenal player next season and will join them for pre-season training.

The north Londoners are reportedly set to pay £55m instead of Zubimendi's £51m release clause.

That is because they have agreed to pay Real Sociedad in installments, rather than an up-front fee.

The Black Cats, who have been promoted to the Premier League, are receiving a club-record fee for the midfielder.

Darwin Nunez makes Liverpool decision

Darwin Nunez is reportedly open to joining Al-Hilal.

Foot Mercato reports that the Saudi Pro League runners-up are keen on a deal.

Nunez's exit from Liverpool would help the Reds free up funds to continue a big-spending summer, which could soon include the club-record arrival of Florian Wirtz.

Florian Wirtz latest

Liverpool are hoping to complete a blockbuster nine-figure switch for Florian Wirtz very soon.

However, discussions remain ongoing between the Premier League champions and Bayer Leverkusen over the exact fee.

Wirtz is going to cost Liverpool a club-record figure over the coming months, although their latest bid is said to have been rebuffed.

Wide-ranging reports suggest that Liverpool made a proposal in the region of £113m.

However, Leverkusen are sticking to their £126m valuation.

This does not look like a deal that has the potential to fall through.

Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly 'furious' with Sporting Lisbon bosses.

Despite links with the Premier League 12 months ago, Gyokeres remained at Sporting but it was reportedly agreed that he could leave for favourable terms this summer.

One of those conditions was reportedly that Sporting would accept around £60m to relinquish him.

According to Portuguese outlet Record, Gyokeres believes Sporting have now gone back on that promise.

Several other Premier League clubs want to secure the young forward, who scored 19 goals in the Portuguese top-flight last term.

Good morning!

Hello and welcome back to Express Sport's transfer news blog.

We'll have all the latest updates as clubs ramp up their summer plans.

So stay tuned...

Mbeumo chooses next club

Bryan Mbeumo has reportedly made it clear that he wants to join Manchester United rather than sign for Tottenham.

United are the only club currently in formal talks with Brentford over Mbeumo’s transfer and are solely focused on trying to agree a fee for the player.

Thomas Frank’s expected arrival at Tottenham may change some of Spurs’ summer transfer targets, with the 51-year-old working with Mbeumo for the last six years. But any suggestions that Tottenham are attempting to hijack the deal are premature.

Porto are in no rush to part ways with Aghehowa and would demand at least £63million in negotiations. The forward has an £84million release clause in his contract with the Portuguese outfit.

Spurs announce contract extension

Tottenham have announced that they have extended Ben Davies’ contract.

Spurs have exercised a one-year option in the defender’s deal, which will see the Welshman now remain at the club until the summer of 2026.

Davies is Tottenham’s longest-serving player, and he may have a key role behind the scenes at north London next season as his side look to adjust to the ways of a new manager following Ange Postecoglou’s sacking.

Al Hilal table bid for Saudi star

Al Hilal have reportedly made an offer for Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva.

The Saudi Pro League side are keen to splash the cash this summer and remain locked in talks with Victor Osimhen of Napoli.

According to Foot Mercato, Silva is also admired and they hope to lure him away from the Etihad Stadium, having tracked his situation closely for the past few months.

Al Hilal have already tabled an offer for the Portuguese international, though it remains to be seen whether the playmaker is open to the approach.

Liverpool join race for Sporting star

Liverpool have taken the ‘first steps’ towards signing Sporting star Ousmane Diomande, reports A Bola.

The Reds are reportedly keen to acquire the services of the centre-back, but face stiff competition from several Premier League rivals, such as Arsenal and Manchester United.

With Newcastle pushing to sign Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace are also firmly in the race to sign the Ivorian defender – who is valued at £50million.

Newcastle plot move for Jack Grealish

Newcastle are reportedly plotting a loan move for Manchester City forward Jack Grealish, who has fallen out of favour at the Etihad Stadium and likely to depart this summer.

According to The Sun, Newcastle will ‘try to rescue’ Grealish, but they are only willing to make an approach for the 29-year-old if City are willing to entertain loan offers.

Any loan deal could centre around fees involved, and Newcastle may reportedly look to strike a deal by offering to pay all of Grealish’s monstrous £300,000-a-weel wages and not pay any fee to acquire his services.

City could even look to contribute to their forward’s wages as part of an agreement too.

Maignan is approaching the final 12 months of his contract at the San Siro, and Chelsea are hoping to capitalise and acquire his services before the Club World Cup gets underway.

Tottenham eye Bryan Mbeumo

Manchester United have been joined by Tottenham in the race to sign Bryan Mbeumo, reports The Sun.

The Red Devils have been pushing to strike a deal with Brentford this week, but Spurs are now poised to hijack the deal.

Tottenham are also pushing to appoint Brentford manager Thomas Frank after sacking Ange Postecoglou, and they are hopeful that uniting with the Danish boss in north London could ‘sway’ the deal in their favour.
