The summer transfer window has intensified as Premier League clubs accelerate their business. Arsenal are set to spend close to £200m on Bruno Guimaraes and Morgan Rogers, while Bradley Barcola would cost around £130m. Former Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier has passed his medical and will join on a free transfer as third-choice.

Tottenham are ready to spend again despite already exceeding £230m, targeting Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi for close to £100m. Liverpool are working on a replacement for Mohamed Salah, with Crysencio Summerville linked.
