Slowly but surely the transfer window is now becoming a hive of activity, as teams across the Premier League and the wider football world acknowledge that the clock is ticking and the time to strike in now.
Manchester United remain among the frontrunners, having already acquired exciting talents in Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. Now, the Red Devils have once again entered talks as Erik ten Hag looks to get another big deal over the line.
Elsewhere, Arsenal are still resolute in their pursuit of Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori despite the process having recently stalled.
The Gunners are desperate to bolster their defensive ranks, though both clubs remain at the negotiation table regarding costs.
Another team on the hunt for a defender is Liverpool, with Arne Slot yet to make his first established signing as Reds boss.
Liverpool were defeated by Preston North End in a recent behind-closed-doors friendly, and while the alarm bells aren’t ringing just yet – it could soon be the case if recruitments are not made.

Calafiori wants Arsenal
Arsenal remain in pole position to sign Riccardo Calafiori despite talks over a summer move stalling, Bologna chairman Claudio Fenucci has confirmed.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants to sign a left-footed defender and the 22-year-old has emerged as a key target, however there remains a gap in valuation between the clubs.
Bologna want at least £42million, thought latest reports in Italy claim Arsenal have tabled £34million with the addition of clauses.
Bologna are somewhat limited by Calafiori’s former club Basel being due half of any fee received, and are therefore said to be pushing hard on the price but the inevitable sale does happen.
