We are less than two weeks from the beginning of the Premier League season and Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal remain amongst the busiest clubs in Europe. Despite the signing of Richarlison, Spurs are continually linked with a move for a new forward, with fresh reports in regards to their apparent chase of Barcelona forward Memphis Depay emerging.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are still locked in a battle with Barca for Jules Kounde. Presnel Kimpembe, however, could re-emerge as a target should they fail on that front. Follow all of the latest news, gossip and rumours in our LIVE blog!
