Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea continue to be major players in the summer transfer window. Spurs have already added a fourth player to their squad in the form of Everton’s Richarlison and are now reportedly tracking Jesse Lingard alongside both Clement Lenglet and Djed Spence.
Over at Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus’ £45m arrival from Manchester City is expected imminently after the Brazilian was spotted donning the No.9 shirt at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are also tracking Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez, though face stiff competition from Manchester United, with the Argentina international believed to prefer a move to Old Trafford and a reunion with Erik ten Hag.
Chelsea are yet to make a first landmark signing under new owner Todd Boehly, although are attempting to beat Barcelona to Raphinha, take Ousmane Dembele off the Catalans, and add Raheem Sterling and Matthijs de Ligt. Follow all of the latest rumours below!

Rollercoaster at OM
A whirlwind few hours for Marseille and Matteo Guendouzi. The manager, Jorge Sampaoli, this morning quit in surprise so Guendouzi has a new boss to impress.
The deal is worth around £10million, with the midfielder’s loan turned into a permanent transfer with Marseille avoiding relegation due to a clause. They actually finished second in Ligue 1, so the new man in charge has a job on his hands.
CONFIRMED: Matteo Guendozi joins Marseille on permanent deal
Raphinha: Chelsea remain confident of landing Leeds star
Chelsea remain hopeful of completing a deal to sign Leeds United forward Raphinha.
The Brazilian is one of the most in-demand players on the market this summer with Arsenal keen and Barcelona also chasing his signature.
While the La Liga giants had been struggling financially of late, a cash injection of £179m could help their cause, with the 25-year-old thought to prefer the idea a move to Spain.
Raphinha has long since hoped for a Barcelona move this summer, but Chelsea have agreed a deal with Leeds that the Catalan giants are understood not to be able to match yet.

Lisandro Martinez: Manchester United hold positive talks over Arsenal target
Arsenal are eager to push a deal over the line for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez but Manchester United could make life difficult on that front.
According to Goal, positive talks have been held amongst the top brass at Old Trafford in regards to a move for the Argentina international.
Tottenham confirm two more signings!
Tottenham have enjoyed a busy Friday with three new signings being confirmed.
After confirming the arrival of Richarlison, which could reach £60million, the youth ranks were then boosted by defender Tyrell Ashcroft and goalkeeper Josh Keeley.
Ashcroft, 17, comes from Reading where he largely played for the Under-23s but also made four senior appearances in the Championship for the club. He played at both right-back and in defensive midfield.

Done deal! Moussa Sissoko leaves Watford for Nantes
A return to French football for the former NEwcastle, Tottenham and Watford midfielder.
Djed Spence set for Tottenham medical
It really isn’t stopping at Tottenham this summer, is it?
According to The Daily Mirror, Middlesbrough’s Djed Spence is now set to undergo a medical at Spurs ahead of his move from the Championship side.
A fee of around £15-16m is understood to have been agreed, with a transfer now close.
Everton eye Watford swoop to replace Richarlison
Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis is among Everton’s list of targets as they look to replace Richarlison.
The Toffees reluctantly agreed to cash in on Richarlison after Tottenham made an offer of £60million, which eases Everton’s financial issues.
The club, however, are aware they need to replace the Brazilian forward and they are currently drawing up a list of targets.
Watford striker Dennis is one of those being considered and the Hornets could be tempted to sell if an offer of around £20m comes in.
Dennis only moved to Vicarage Road last summer after Watford paid Club Brugge a fee of just £3m.
Despite Watford being relegated from the Premier League last season, the 24-year-old impressed and he scored 10 goals during his first year in England.
That has caught the eye of Villarreal, who have scouted him, but now Everton are also in the running for the Nigerian.
Matthijs de Ligt: Chelsea FC in major transfer boost
Matthijs de Ligt is keen on the idea of working under Thomas Tuchel as Chelsea continue to track the Juventus defender.
Standard Sport understands the Stamford Bridge giants have made an approach for the 22-year-old, who has two years to run on his contract in Turin.
The Blues have emerged as favourites to sign De Ligt should the 22-year-old leave Juventus this summer, with the Old Lady hierarchy accepting his desire for a new challenge.

Jesus, Nketiah, Vieira: How Arsenal could lineup next season
Arsenal are embarking on another summer of serious spending as Mikel Arteta continues to build a squad capable of challenging near the top of the table.
The Gunners spent just shy of £150million last summer and have already parted with close to £50m with three new faces through the door in Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Fabio Veiria. The latter is the pick of the bunch so far in a deal worth £34m from Porto.
However, the arrival of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City for around £45m is imminent as Arteta reshapes his forward line following the exits of both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, in January, and Alexandre Lacazette, last month.
