The summer transfer window is intensifying as Premier League clubs push for major signings. Arsenal have reportedly agreed personal terms with Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, while also preparing to finalize a deal for Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis. Manchester United are set to announce two new signings today: Andrey Santos and Karl Darlow. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham are also active in the market.
Arsenal Close on Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis
According to French outlet L'Equipe, Bruno Guimaraes has agreed a five-year contract with Arsenal that will run until 2031. Standard Sport understands that Arsenal are expected to test Newcastle's resolve with a first official bid for the Brazil international, who has two years left on his contract at St James' Park. Reports suggest Guimaraes has informed Newcastle of his desire to leave this summer, as the Magpies will not be playing in European competition next season.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are also preparing to finalize a move for Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis worth around £35 million, according to The Sun. The Greek international, formerly of Norwich City, is seen as a replacement for Leandro Trossard, who is poised to complete a £17 million switch to Besiktas. Greek journalist Konstantinos Lianos reports that a deal between Arsenal and Club Brugge is expected to be finalized soon.
Manchester United Set to Announce Double Signing
Manchester United are expected to announce two new signings today: Andrey Santos and Karl Darlow. The club is also set to make a final decision on Ederson following his medical, and could yet turn to Manu Kone or Carlos Baleba instead. Talks continue over Crysencio Summerville.
Chelsea and Tottenham Active
Chelsea could sign Dusan Vlahovic as new manager Xabi Alonso pushes to agree a move for Pep Chavarria. Alonso has arrived at Cobham to take over officially as Chelsea's manager, having been appointed to replace Liam Rosenior in May. Tottenham may yet recruit a third new midfielder in Ousmane Diabate amid a possible return for Randal Kolo Muani.
Liverpool Push for Barcola
Liverpool are pushing hard for Bradley Barcola after missing out on Yan Diomande and could also bid for Yankuba Minteh. New Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has overseen his first training session since succeeding Arne Slot.
Crystal Palace Confirm Oscar Mingueza Signing
Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of Oscar Mingueza on a free transfer from Celta Vigo. Mingueza has signed a four-year deal and becomes new manager Pierre Sage's first signing of the summer. The 27-year-old came through Barcelona's La Masia academy and made 66 appearances for the Catalan club before moving to Celta Vigo in 2022.
Brentford Sign Callum Wilson
Brentford have confirmed the signing of veteran forward Callum Wilson on a one-year deal following his departure from West Ham. Wilson scored seven goals in 35 appearances last season. Keith Andrews praised Wilson's Premier League experience, saying it will help younger strikers Igor Thiago and Kaye Furo adapt to the league. Wilson becomes Brentford's third signing of the summer after Jaidon Anthony arrived from Burnley for £17 million.
