Transfer news LIVE! Arsenal to break record for Kvaratskhelia; Vlahovic close to Chelsea; Spurs want Johnson
We have now entered the final month of the transfer window but all of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham remain active in the transfer market. The Gunners have so far spent the most after an aggressive summer recruitment drive to have seen them splash the cash on Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice but could now be set to make another big move. New reports claim they could make a huge move to smash their transfer record again by bringing Napoli sensation Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to the club.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have a former Arsenal target in mind it seems. Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic could be set to move to Stamford Bridge in part-exchange for Romelu Lukaku as the Blues track goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. Elsewhere, both Monaco defender Axel Disasi and Rennes midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu will soon be confirmed as new signings.
Tottenham, meanwhile, could now be preparing for life without Harry Kane. Bayern Munich are increasingly confident of signing the England captain and Spurs could look to replace him by signing Franck Kessie and Brennan Johnson from Barcelona and Nottingham Forest respectively. Follow all the news, gossip and rumours including the latest on West Ham, Liverpool and Manchester United below!

Victor Osimhen: Al Hilal to make huge move for Napoli star
Having fired Napoli to a first Serie A title in over 30 years, Victor Osimhen has been linked with some huge Premier League clubs.
Still, that was before the Saudi Pro League embarked on their ambitious and aggressive recruitment drive this summer.
While Al Hilal missed out on Kylian Mbappe, they are seemingly prepared to try and sign the Nigerian international.
Sky Sports claim the Saudi side have made a huge £120m bid to sign Osimhen and are prepared to pay him close to £1m-per-week.
Joao Felix gets Barcelona lifeline
Joao Felix has made little secret of his love for Barcelona as he looks to leave Atletico Madrid.
The Portugal forward has been left in limbo after Chelsea opted not to sign him on a permanent basis despite some promising flashes during his time at Stamford Bridge.
Banished from the first-team under Diego Simeone, the 23-year-old has publicly stated his love for the Camp Nou giants.
Now, he could get his wish to join them.
According to Spanish publication Sport, they could move for Felix if Ousmane Dembele joins Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal to make David Raya bid soon
David Raya has emerged as the latest target for Arsenal this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to bring in cover and competition for Aaron Ramsdale.
The Spanish international saw a move to Bayern Munich fall through last week but could get the Brentford exit he’s wanted for a while.
According to the Daily Mail, the Gunners are prepared to launch a £15m bid to sign Raya soon.
Chelsea close to double transfer deal
Chelsea are set to announce Monaco defender Axel Disasi and Rennes midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu as new signings in the coming days, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

Franck Kessie back on Tottenham’s radar
Franck Kessie has long been linked with Tottenham but Harry Kane’s potential departure could help finally push that particular deal over the line.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Spurs are ready to formalise their interest in the Barcelona midfielder by way of a bid if Kane does join Bayern Munich.
West Ham ready to drop interest in James Ward-Prowse
Though West Ham are working with a big budget following the departure of Declan Rice, it seems they will not be held to ransom.
David Moyes is yet to bring anybody into the club this summer but that does not mean the Scot will rush into signings.
According to the Guardian, the Hammers are ready to drop their interest in Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse as they do not believe he’s worth more than £25m.
For their part, Saints are holding out for more.
Liverpool to make fresh Romeo Lavia bid imminently
The rebuild at Liverpool continues.
Fabinho recently followed Jordan Henderson to Saudi Arabia and it seems Jurgen Klopp is ready to ramp up his interest in a replacement.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Reds will launch a fresh offer to sign Romeo Lavia imminently.
They have already seen a £37m offer snubbed but are likely to return with something closer to the £50m the Saints want.
Manchester United consider move for Jean-Clair Todibo
With Rasmus Holjlund set to join and Sofyan Amrabat reportedly likely to follow, things have been busy at Manchester United.
Still, busy as they are, the club could now look to strengthen their defence.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Old Trafford giants are keen on a move for Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo should Harry Maguire leave the club.
Jean-Clair Todibo will become a Barca player on 1 July.

It’d perhaps be fair to say that, in the eyes of Tottenham fans, no one could replace Harry Kane.
Still, with Bayern Munich increasingly confident of signing the England captain, it might be something they soon have to consider.
Likely to bank big money if Kane leaves, the Daily Mail propose a new target.
They claim Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson could be one of the players Spurs consider to build around for a new era.
Dusan Vlahovic close to signing for Chelsea
It seems Chelsea could soon have their new forward.
Dusan Vlahovic has hardly enjoyed the happiest of times since rejecting Arsenal to join Juventus from Fiorentina in 2022 and could now be set for a move to the Premier League at last.
According to Fabrizio Romano, talks of a swap deal between the Serbian international Romelu Lukaku are back on and a move could be close.
