The summer transfer window is in full swing, and the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United are already making big moves in the market. The Gunners could wrap up a deal for Morgan Rogers at a lower fee than the ÂŁ100million originally suggested, while a decision regarding interest in Bradley Barcola has been made if fresh reports are to be believed.
Man Utd's move for Ederson will be made official shortly, with the club also targeting both Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali to bolster the midfield further. However, they face competition from Tottenham - fresh off confirming three defensive signings for an outlay of ÂŁ52m - who have now started talks with Newcastle for the latter.
Chelsea's priority is a left-back amid links to Lewis Hall and Andrea Cambiaso after selling Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid and the Spaniard could soon be reunited with Enzo Fernandez as reports claim an agreement is in place. Liverpool, meanwhile, have signalled their intent to spend upwards of ÂŁ85million on RB Leipzig and Ivory Coast star Yan Diomande. Follow the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!

Latest transfer news and rumours
Man Utd get Tonali update
Manchester United have been given an update on Sandro Tonali, as a move for Ederson nears completion.
Man Unitedâs priority under new head coach Michael Carrick this summer is to address the midfield department as Casemiro officially leaves at the end of the month.
United been tipped for a three-way battle along with Arsenal and Manchester City for the signing of Tonali, though it was reported earlier in the week that they had dropped out of the race.
According to the Mirror, Man Utd informed Newcastle they would not be pursuing a deal for the Italy international, believing the combined cost of transfer fee and wage demands were too much.
In a fresh twist, Tottenham have since registered their interest in Tonali as Roberto De Zerbi pushes to continue an overhaul of a squad that flirted dangerously close to relegation this season.

Liverpool have Diomande plan
Liverpool are prepared to increase their bid for Yan Diomande after seeing an opening offer of ÂŁ87m rejected by RB Leipzig.
That said, while the Bundesliga side are demanding at least ÂŁ113m to let Diomande leave this summer, the Athletic are claiming that Liverpool are only willing to go as high as ÂŁ100m for the winger.
Furthermore, the report claims the Reds are willing to walk away from the negotiations table if a deal cannot be agreed.
A list of alternative targets is said to include Yankuba Minteh, Said El Mala and Matias Fernandez-Pardo.

Barcola 'perfect fit' for Arsenal
Bradley Barcola would be the perfect fit for Arsenal, according to European football expert Andy Brassell, who has backed the France international to leave PSG this summer.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Brassell said: "With Barcola, it's not just about recruiting him and hoping he scores 15, 20, 25 [goals] in a season, although I do think he could get to that point for Arsenal.
âIt's that he's someone who knows when to release the ball at the right time. So, he's got the pace, but he's also got the intelligence to make the most of the advantage that that pace gives him.
"Now, we've seen him as a pinch-hitter off the bench for France, scoring that goal in the [World Cup] opener against Senegal. He would be a huge upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli as far as I'm concerned.
âAs far as the signings that Arsenal should be making this summer, he's definitely, definitely a step in the right direction, especially with his contract talks still up in the air.â

Gallagher will switch from the No22 which he had worn since arriving from Atletico Madrid in the January transfer window.
The No8 shirt had become vacant following Yves Bissoumaâs departure from the club this summer, but it has now been snapped up.

âIâve never actually worn it at club level in my career, so Iâm excited â itâs always been my favourite number. Some of my favourite footballers growing up also wore eight, so Iâm looking forward to pulling on the jersey for this fantastic club.
"Iâm hoping for a big season and to make our fans proud.â

Man Utd linked with Summerville alternative
Manchester United have been linked with West Hamâs Crysencio Summerville this summer, but could sign an alternative - and for a cheaper fee.
The Hammers are said to value Summerville at ÂŁ43.3million, while Lilleâs Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Evertonâs Iliman Ndiaye are also on Unitedâs radar.
However, German outlet Fussballdaten now claim that Man Utd are monitoring the situation of Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi.
As Adeyemi is approaching the final year of his contract, Dortmund are reportedly open to a sale in the region ÂŁ35m.
However, Liverpool and Aston Villa are said to have made contact with his representatives, while Chelsea and Fenerbahce are also considering a move.

Arsenal want Alvarez
In addition to Morgan Rogers, Arsenal are looking to add around four or five quality signings this summer.
As per Mail Online, the Gunners also want a striker, with Atletico Madridâs Julian Alvarez admired.
Club Brugge forward Christos Tzolis is on a long list of options to bolster the attacking department, while Bournemouth's Alex Scott has his admirers.
Scott is valued at ÂŁ80m, but Bournemouth are trying to convince him to sign a new deal, with the prospect of a release clause being inserted into that contract.

Diomande asking price revealed
Liverpoolâs ÂŁ87m offer for Yan Diomande has been turned down by RB Leipzig.
That is according to the Liverpool Echo, who also suggest that Leipzig have set an asking price of ÂŁ113m for the Ivory Coast winger.
The Reds smashed the British transfer record twice last summer to sign Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, so have shown a willingness to splash the cash.
But will they go as high as ÂŁ113m for a player with only one proven season at the highest level under his belt?

Chelsea latest
Chelsea have opened talks with Juventus for Andrea Cambiaso.
Following Marc Cucurellaâs ÂŁ52million move to Real Madrid, the Blues are actively searching for a replacement at left-back and have identified the Italy international as a key target.
Here comes the sticking point though. According to reports in Italy, Juventus are demanding around âŹ40m (ÂŁ34.6m) for Cambiaso, which is well short of how much Chelsea are willing to pay to âŹ28m (ÂŁ24.2m).
As a sweetener, Nicolas Jackson has been discussed as a potential makeweight to help bridge the gap in valuation between the two clubs.

Arsenal join race for Summerville
Arsenal are have joined Manchester United, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain in the race to sign West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville.
As per reports in France, the Dutchman is now on a long list of wide options being considered by the Gunners.
However, Summerville's performances at the World Cup could see his valuation increase.
Prior to scoring two goals in two games for the Netherlands, West Ham were apparently demanding around âŹ50m (ÂŁ43.3m) but that may no longer be the case.

Anderson transfer could impact Liverpool
Manchester City's move for Elliot Anderson could spark a domino effect if finalised.
Nottingham Forest will then, as per Gazzetta dello Sport, target Inter Milan's Davide Frattesi to replace the England international at the City Ground.
To complete the potential triple transfer merry-go-round, Inter will look to complete a deal for Liverpool's Curtis Jones.
