Manchester United have opened talks with Brighton to sign 21-year-old Cameroonian midfielder Carlos Baleba this summer.

Everton have reportedly opened talks with Manchester City over a potential loan deal for Jack Grealish.

Arsenal finally ended their protracted search for a new striker by landing Sweden international Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon in a £64 million deal, but Manchester United legend Paul Scholes isn't convinced that he is the right man to lead Mikel Arteta's attack.

Jamie Carragher has admitted he "doesn't feel right" about Liverpool's proposed £150m swoop for Alexander Isak. Despite already investing nearly £252 million ($335m) on signings including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Hugo Ekitike, the Reds are still chasing a deal with Newcastle for Isak, which Carragher believes veers away from the club’s historically cautious and strategic transfer philosophy.
Al Hilal have reportedly secured a verbal agreement with Liverpool for the transfer of Darwin Nunez, as former Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi inches closer to landing one of his top summer target.

Manchester United are reportedly plotting a "last-minute gamble" on an alternative option in case their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko fails.
