Arsenal are primed for a big week in the summer window as they prepare to announce the signing of Riccardo Calafiori, make a move for Mikel Merino and bid farewell to Emile Smith Rowe. The Bologna centre-back has flown in to complete a medical and join the club on their US tour, with Mikel Arteta then focusing on Merino as the replacement for Fulham-bound Smith Rowe.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have already wrapped up six summer signings and want to bring in at least two more in Filip Jorgensen and Aaron Anselmino, who are set to undergo medicals, and hold hope of luring Nico Williams to Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have confirmed the signing of Yang Min-Hyeok, and still hold interest in Eberechi Eze and Jonathan David. Follow all the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!
