Friday's transfer news: Man United lead Bruno Fernandes chase over Spurs, Liverpool eye £45m Junior Firpo bid

The transfer window is hotting up

Transfer deadline day summer 2019: The deals done so far

The transfer window is hotting up with clubs up and down the country set to spend big.

There have already been some big deals this transfer window. Manchester United wasted no time in snapping up Daniel James from Swansea City for £18m, while Eden Hazard finally completed his protracted move from Chelsea to Real Madrid, for a fee which could ultimately exceed £100m.

A number of big deals are meanwhile still in the pipeline. Both Paul Pogba and Christian Eriksen have indicated that they want ‘new challenges’, while Matthijs de Ligt is a top target for just about every European super club. Where will he end up? Follow all of the latest below:

Arsenal are meanwhile set to push on with their first signing of the summer with a bid for Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser set to be lodged. A new centre-back is high on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s priority list at United with Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly and Leicester’s Harry Maguire both options. Crystal Palace’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka is another on the Norwegian’s radar.

It won’t just be incomings at Old Trafford, however, with Pogba a high-profile target for Real Madrid and Alexis Sanchez on his way out with Inter Milan and Juventus fighting it out for his signature – if he drops his wage demands. And Liverpool could be active too as they look to go one better after failing to win the Premier League title by just a single point.

Key Points

• PSG and Barcelona have begun Neymar talks, with price tag set by French side and first offer tabled by La Liga giants
• Man City are confident they have beaten Man United to £65m Harry Maguire, with medical pencilled in
• Spurs have held talks with the agent of Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes 
• Petr Cech rejoins Chelsea after leaving Arsenal
• Man United hope to complete a £60m deal for Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the next 48 hours
• Romelu Lukaku has agreed terms with Inter Milan, with the Man United striker set to link up with Antonio Conte

Everton are in talks to sign Kurt Zouma from Chelsea after his successful season-long loan

The Toffees have already agreed a £22 million transfer of Andre Gomes from Barcelona, who also impressed on loan. 

And the Telegraph believe Zouma is high on the list of priorities for Everton this summer, even though the player will return to Chelsea this summer, where the arrival of a new manager will influence whether he looks for a permanent move or not. 

Marco Silva will hope to convince the France international his future is at Goodison, with the club hopeful the Blues' transfer ban will not alter their chances of landing the player.

A former Crystal Palace youth team colleague of Aaron Wan-Bissaka does not begrudge his team-mate's success, after a post on social media about the contrast in their lives went viral.

Wan-Bissaka, 21, has been linked with a £50million move to Manchester United after a breakout season in the Premier League, and the full-back's rise to the top has put things in perspective for Charlie Rees.

The 19-year-old was a Palace youth player at the same time as Wan-Bissaka, and his tweet on the pair's very different football fortunes resonated on social media.

"One of these blokes is about to sign for United for 50 million, the other has just put a fiver's worth of petrol in his motor," Mr Rees tweeted, along with pictures of himself and Wan-Bissaka playing for Palace's youth sides.

The tweet received more than 75,000 likes and prompted thousands of comments.
