The deadline for the summer transfer window is looming large for clubs who are determined to get a final deal or two over the line. Chief among which are Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham with Arsenal also keeping an eye on any late developments.
Barcelona whizkid Ansu Fati has been one such player, linked with the Gunners lately and now offered to Chelsea and Spurs as the Catalans consider cashing in. Arsenal have been fielding late interest from their rivals over at Stamford Bridge for Emile Smith Rowe amid rumours that Mykhailo Mudryk could be dangled their way in a swap deal.
Chelsea want to continue their clearout before Friday night’s deadline and have surprise interest in Marc Cucurella from Manchester United, amid their injury issues at left-back. Romelu Lukaku is set to leave and former loanee Joao Felix is a new name on the Blues’ radar to replace him. United have also been linked with Marcos Alonso. The biggest remaining deal however could come in Tottenham’s £50m move for Brennan Johnson. Follow all the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!

Chelsea reignite Joao Felix interest
Mauricio Pochettino’s desire for a new attacker could see Chelsea bring in a familiar face.
Joao Felix’s Atletico Madrid future remains up in the air with Barcelona in a bid to sign him this week.
According to 90min, Chelsea have maintained contact with Felix and could be presented with an open door to signing him given Barcelona are focusing on other targets.
Chelsea and Tottenham eye Ansu Fati deal
Chelsea and Tottenham could yet face a late transfer battle over Ansu Fati.
The young Spanish forward has been consistently linked with a move away from Barcelona this summer.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano now claims that Fati has been offered to Chelsea this week, with Spurs also apparently asking to be kept informed on the 20-year-old amid their talks with Nottingham Forest over the £50m-rated Brennan Johnson.
One to watch as the deadline approaches, no doubt.
Man United agree Marc Cucurella deal
Manchester United have reached an agreement with Marc Cucurella.
That is according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who says the Chelsea defender has settled on personal terms over a switch to Old Trafford.
A deal is yet to be agreed with the Blues, but Romano says Cucurella is now United’s only left-back target before Friday night’s transfer deadline.
So no Nicolas Tagliafico or Sergio Reguilon then.
Arsenal send Chelsea message over Smith Rowe
Arsenal insist Emile Smith Rowe is not for sale amid late summer transfer interest from Chelsea.
The Blues are still on the hunt for further attacking reinforcements before Friday night’s transfer deadline, seeking primarily a versatile forward player who can operate at No10 and also out on the wing.
London rivals Chelsea have been linked with Smith Rowe over recent days, though Arsenal have always insisted that their popular academy graduate midfielder is not for sale.

Man United make Marc Cucurella loan bid
Manchester United have made a £2million loan bid for Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella, reports Nizaar Kinsella.
However, the Blues are expected to turn down the initial offer as they seek a larger loan fee.
Cucurella is open to a move to Old Trafford but negotiations are delicate with other left-back candidates having been sounded out.
United boss Erik ten Hag is thought to favour Cucurella, whom he believes fits his style of play.

Man United step up Nicolas Tagliafico talks
Manchester United’s search for a new left-back is ramping up before Friday’s transfer deadline.
Erik ten Hag has something of a crisis at the position now with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both out injured, and Brandon Williams loaned out to Ipswich last week.
Diogo Dalot filled in as a makeshift left-back against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, with young Alvaro Fernandez also on the books.
United have been linked with a shock swoop for Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, Tottenham’s Sergio Reguilon, Rico Henry of Benfica and Barcelona’s Marcos Alonso, among others.
But Nicolas Tagliafico now seems to have emerged as the primary option, amid reports from The Indepedent and others that talks are stepping up with Lyon over the Argentine World Cup winner.
United are said to want a loan deal for the 30-year-old, while Lyon would apparently prefer a permanent sale worth around £5.15m plus add-ons for a player who previously worked with Ten Hag at Ajax.
