There have been several big deals across English football already in the transfer window and there could be even more being completed in the next few days and weeks.
Southampton have reportedly placed a £100m price-tag on their captain in an attempt to deter interest from clubs like Newcastle United while Leeds United are being linked with a Dutch international winger who is seen as a potential replacement for Raphinha with the Brazilian closing in on a move to Arsenal.
A Chelsea striker would apparently be keen on a move to West Ham if a reported £25m bid does emerge while a Blues’ stopper is being linked with a loan move to a French Ligue 1 side.
Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion are said to be keen on a Remis’ midfielder who they believe could fill the void left after Yves Bissouma’s move to Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City are reportedly close to completing a deal for another Seagulls star.
A Manchester United target is said to be “determined” to complete a move to Old Trafford and Premier League new boys Nottingham Forest are said to be close to completing a £17.5m move for a Union Berlin star.
Finally, a Liverpool keeper is getting ready for a new challenge once he leaves Anfield at the end of this month.
