Manchester United and Chelsea headed into the window in desperate need of rebuilds, and both sides have been the most active of the ‘Big Six’ outfits so far.
United are hoping to wrap up a deal for Leny Yoro by the end of play today, having persuaded the teen to snub Real Madrid in favour of committing his future to Erik ten Hag’s project in a deal worth £58million. Joshua Zirkzee has already joined the Red Devils from Bologna.
Chelsea have been equally focused on bolstering their ranks, with Enzo Maresca kickstarting his tenure by signing Tosin Adarabioyo, Omari Kellyman, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga and Marc Guiu as part of a much-needed shake-up at Stamford Bridge.

United reject Scott McTominay bid
Manchester United have rejected an offer from Fulham for Scott McTominay, reports talkSPORT.
The opening bid from Marco Silva’s side is said to have fallen short of the £30million proposal made by West Ham last summer.
United are willing to part ways with McTominay for the ‘right price’, and the Scotland international is unlikely to be short of interest after being one of the few shining lights at Old Trafford last season.
Chelsea set to push for Nico Williams
Chelsea are reportedly preparing to launch a big-money move for Euro 2024 star Nico Williams.
The Athletic Bilbao winger has been heavily linked with a move away from Spain this summer, and The Athletic report that the Blues believe that they are ‘well-placed’ to move for the forward.
Chelsea have already done their groundwork ahead of the move and are willing to go head-to-head with Barcelona to secure the signature of the 22-year-old.
Williams is said to have a £47million release clause in his contract with Bilbao, though it remains to be seen whether interested parties risk a hijack by attempting to negotiate a lesser fee for the tricky winger.
