Slowly but surely the transfer window is now becoming a hive of activity, as teams across the Premier League and the wider football world acknowledge that the clock is ticking and the time to strike in now.

Manchester United remain among the frontrunners, having already acquired exciting talents in Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. Now, the Red Devils have once again entered talks as Erik ten Hag looks to get another big deal over the line.

Elsewhere, Arsenal are still resolute in their pursuit of Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori despite the process having recently stalled.

The Gunners are desperate to bolster their defensive ranks, though both clubs remain at the negotiation table regarding costs.

Another team on the hunt for a defender is Liverpool, with Arne Slot yet to make his first established signing as Reds boss.

Liverpool were defeated by Preston North End in a recent behind-closed-doors friendly, and while the alarm bells aren’t ringing just yet – it could soon be the case if recruitments are not made.
