The 2022/23 Premier League season is just four weeks away from kicking off and clubs across English football’s top flight continue to build their squads for the big kick off.
Leeds United are still unsure on the future of their star winger with the player’s preferred transfer option submitting a ‘final’ bid which is £13m below the Yorkshire club’s valuation while it appears the interested club’s manager may actually prefer signing a Chelsea target to bringing in the Whites’ ace.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United could have been dealt a transfer blow with Arsenal reportedly interested in one of their long term signing targets and West Ham United are eyeing up an attacker from the Serie A.
A former Swansea City goalkeeper has been seen training with Brighton & Hove Albion, sparking speculation he could be about to complete a move to the Seagulls while Bournemouth are in talks to sign a Tottenham Hotspur defender either on loan or on a permanent deal.
Elsewhere, Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma are interested in signing a Crystal Palace star and a Rangers midfielder is undergoing his medical at Southampton ahead of a potential £10m move.
Finally, Manchester United have submitted an ‘improved’ bid of £43m to try and beat Arsenal to the signing of a Ajax defender.
