With just eight days remaining until the new Premier League season kicks off at Old Trafford, several clubs have accelerated their transfer business. Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are among the sides expected to be active in the final three weeks of the summer window.
United are eyeing a right-back, another centre-back and a central midfielder but look unable to add to their two arrivals without player sales.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are in talks with the Red Devils over one star while also closing in on one of Mikel Arteta’s primary transfer targets.
And Liverpool – the only Premier League outfit yet to make a signing this summer – look set to enter the picture imminently.

The 21-year-old Dane featured 21 times in the Premier League last season and has represented his country at U21 level.

He said: “I’m very happy to be here. It’s a big club, a great club, so I’m very happy for the opportunity to join Newcastle United.
“It’s a great opportunity, and as soon as I heard about Newcastle’s interest, I knew I had to take the chance to join this club if it came.

Martin Zubimendi to accept Liverpool move
Real Sociedad expect Martin Zubimendi to accept a move to Liverpool should the two clubs agree a transfer fee.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool would have to pay the 25-year-old midfield’s £51.7m release clause in full to lure him away from La Real.
Arne Slot has identified a No. 6 as his priority in his first transfer window at Anfield.
The report adds that the Basque club will allow Zubimendi to leave if he submits a transfer request.
Man Utd and Arsenal in compensation talks
Manchester United are reportedly in negotiations with Arsenal regarding a compensation fee for 16-year-old striker Chido Obi Martin.
Obi Martin has already completed his United medical and agreed personal terms after letting his Arsenal contract expire earlier this summer.
But The Athletic report that the Red Devils must still offer payment for the wonderkid before the deal goes through the Premier League’s ratification process.
