While the Premier League is now in full swing, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all remain active in this summer’s transfer market. Thomas Tuchel in particular is understood to be desperate to add to his squad, with Everton’s Anthony Gordon emerging as a key target. A new £50million offer for the England Under-21 international could now be on the way, only hours after an opening £43m bid was snubbed.
At Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has hinted he is not done yet in the window despite an aggressive summer recruitment drive, with midfield believed to be an area he’s looking to improve. Youri Tielemans is consistently linked, although it could instead be Brighton’s Moises Caciedo to whom they turn.
Spurs, meanwhile, have been frustrated in their attempts to sign Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo and could now look at Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as Destiny Udogie closes in on a move. Follow all the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours below!
