Arsenal are exploring a move for Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior, according to reports, as Mikel Arteta aims high in the search for front-line reinforcements. The Gunners have also added Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge, but their pursuit of Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes dominates the headlines — though the Magpies remain firm that he is not for sale, raising fears of a repeat of the Alexander Isak saga.
Chelsea have made the standout Premier League splash so far, sealing a £117million move for Morgan Rogers. Meanwhile, Trevoh Chalobah is in advanced talks to join Como, with the Serie A side having made a third bid of around £26m, though Chelsea are believed to be holding out for £35m.

Liverpool have made an approach for Maghnes Akliouche — a player PSG admire but cannot currently afford due to Monaco’s demands — and are leading the chase for Bradley Barcola, a pursuit that threatens to deal another blow to Arsenal, who have also been linked with the winger.
Manchester United, meanwhile, look set to end speculation around Bruno Fernandes’ future, with the captain agreeing to extend his stay at Old Trafford. The club are also considering moves for Kone and Baleba, and have enquired over Aurelien Tchouameni.
Elsewhere, Julian Brandt, a free agent after leaving Borussia Dortmund, prefers a move to Leeds United, according to Sky Sports. With the World Cup concluded and the new season approaching, the transfer window is only getting hotter.
