Hello and welcome to the Mirror's transfer live blog on Saturday, July 4, with the summer window finally kicking into gear!
Tottenham's Spending Spree Triggers Moves
Tottenham have played a key role in that, with £185million spent to sign Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes. The latter was a firm Manchester United target, and they have now moved on to targeting Crystal Palace star Ismaila Sarr, who is reportedly valued at £35million.
Arsenal, meanwhile, could be looking to take advantage of Aston Villa's unfortunate financial situation with Morgan Rogers and now Ezri Konsa firmly on the radar.
Bradley Barcola's Future Uncertain
Elsewhere, Bradley Barcola continues to be strongly linked with a Paris Saint-Germain exit. The Gunners view him as an alternative to Rogers, while Liverpool has switched their focus away from Yan Diomande and onto the Frenchman.
With all of that being said, stay with us throughout the day as we bring you the latest transfer updates!
Barcola Transfer Latest
There have been conflicting reports on the future of Bradley Barcola amid transfer links to Arsenal and Liverpool. With Paris Saint-Germain targeting Yan Diomande, Maghnes Akliouche and Eli Junior Kroupi, he could depart which has resulted in several Premier League clubs taking note.
Over the last few weeks, he has helped his stock rise with two goals and one assist during France's World Cup campaign. He scored in their most recent win over Sweden and has also provided an update on his future. He said: "I am focused on the World Cup, what will happen after that, I don't know."
Arsenal Double Deal in Sight
In addition to strong links with Morgan Rogers, Arsenal are now also interested in signing Aston Villa star Ezri Konsa. According to The Daily Mail, Konsa is emerging as a target for the Gunners and they are of the belief that he can be signed for just £35million. However, Villa are said to value him much higher.
Konsa has thus far struggled to replicate his club performances at the World Cup but he remains a serious option for Mikel Arteta's side given his versatility.
£35m Man Utd Transfer Twist
Having lost out on two midfield targets, it seems as though Manchester United may now be looking at signings further forward. According to Teamtalk, Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr is of strong interest to those at Old Trafford. He is reportedly valued at £35million by the Eagles.
Following a strong domestic campaign, Sarr managed four goals and one assist for Senegal at the World Cup before they were knocked out by Belgium.
