With Euro 2024 now concluded, Premier League clubs have quickly turned their attention to bolstering their ranks.
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 have beaten Real Madrid and Liverpool to the 18-year-old centre-back, who is considered one of the world's most exciting young defenders.
"Signing for a club with the stature and ambition of Manchester United so early in my career is an incredible honour," Yoro told the club website.
"Since my first conversations with the club, they set out a clear plan for how I can develop in Manchester as part of this exciting project and showed a lot of care for me and my family.
"I know about the history of young players at Manchester United and feel it can be the perfect place to reach my potential and achieve my ambitions, together with my new team-mates. I cannot wait to get started."
PSV Eindhoven forward Johan Bakayoko has hinted that he is eyeing a blockbuster transfer this summer amid links to Arsenal.
After registering 14 goals and 14 assists last season, the 21-year-old has reportedly attracted interest from Mikel Arteta.
“I want to go to a club that can go as far as possible in the Champions League. A club that plays for the title every season and where I can improve every year,” Bakayoko told Voetbal International.
“I exclude a lot of clubs. My ambitions are high, and not with the clubs in the middle bracket. I am doing well here, so I will only exchange PSV for a club that plays for prizes.
“It could be a good moment to make a transfer now, but that could also be the case next year. For example, if we have become champions again or have gone far in the Champions League.”
The Red Devils are now exchanging all of the relevant documents with Lille after striking an agreement to acquire the services of the 18-year-old last week.
Yoro has put pen to paper on a five-year deal at Old Trafford and already completed his medical with the Red Devils.
The Reds are set to have now been informed of the conditions to strike a deal for the left-back, with Wolves asking for a fee in the region of £38million to part ways with the Algerian.
Chelsea have reportedly reignited their interest in Lens star Elye Wahi.
The 21-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge last summer but opted to remain in the Ligue 1, joining Lens from Montpellier in a deal worth £29million.
According to L’Equipe, despite being snubbed previously, Chelsea remain keen to acquire the services of the striker and have ‘come forward’ to reaffirm their interest.
The Blues are hoping to learn what fee it would take to lure Wahi away from the Ligue 1 outfit and whether a deal is possible before the start of the season.
Arsenal deal for Calafiori 'stalling' because of their own player
Arsenal’s move for Riccardo Calafiori has ‘stalled’ due to a gap in valuations with Bologna, reports The Times.
The Gunners are hoping to use Jakub Kiwior in negotiations with the Serie A side, but the Poland international is reluctant to be used as a makeweight in the deal at this stage.
Bologna are demanding £46million to part ways with Calafiori this summer – who is not short of interest elsewhere – but Arsenal are hoping to strike a deal in the region of £37m or reach a player-plus-cash agreement.
Kiwior is not ruling out a move away from the Gunners this summer but is ‘waiting’ for approaches from bigger sides, like AC Milan.
Karim Adeyemi has offered a cryptic response to questions about his future.
The Borussia Dortmund forward has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with Liverpool and Chelsea among his admirers.
But Adeyemi did not provide any clarity on his future when questioned over whether a move beckons, saying: “I can't say anything about that, I'm wearing a Dortmund shirt and I'm very happy to be wearing a Dortmund shirt.
Arsenal and Man Utd offered transfer encouragement
Barcelona forward Raphinha is reportedly keen to return to the Premier League this summer, amid interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and Aston Villa.
According to HITC, the Brazil international is aware that he may struggle for minutes next season due to the emergence of Lamine Yamal and has therefore decided that a summer exit from the Camp Nou is the best option for his career.
The 27-year-old is said to be available for approximately £50million and interest from Premier League outfits is ‘high’.
Crystal Palace slap mammoth price tag on Marc Guehi
Crystal Palace are not willing to entertain offers of less than £70million for Marc Guehi this summer, despite the defender being in the final two years of his contract at the club.
That is according to The Times, who claim that Arsenal have been ‘priced out’ of a move for the England international.
Chelsea retain an interest in re-signing the centre-back, and the Blues are set to receive 20 per cent of any profit made on the sale of the 24-year-old if he moves elsewhere this summer. Liverpool and Manchester United are monitoring his situation from afar.

Prem clubs must act quickly to land Euro 2024 star
Premier League clubs will need to act quickly if they are to sign Dani Olmo.
The RB Leipzig star’s £52million release clause was extended by five days due to his involvement at Euro 2024, meaning it is now set to expire on Saturday.
Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are among a host of clubs to have been linked with the playmaker, and all interested parties will need to be quick if they are to secure his signature as BILD report that Atletico Madrid are pushing to bring Olmo back to Spain.
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 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.
Manchester United are hoping to wrap up two deals by the end of play today it appears.
The Red Devils are working hard to secure the signature of Leny Yoro, who they successfully persuaded to join the club this summer despite his initial desire to hold out for a move to Real Madrid.
The 18-year-old is now in England and set to pen a five-year deal with the club after an agreement worth up to £58million was agreed last week.
Similarly, Marseille are pushing to sign Mason Greenwood now that the England international has touched down in France.
The forward is set to join the club in a deal worth £25million, with United also inserting a 50% sell-on clause into the agreement.
