The summer transfer window finally opened last week, with Europe’s biggest clubs now battling to snap-up the hottest talent on offer. Real Madrid were quick to get a deal over the line as they beat the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City to Jude Bellingham’s signature after the Merseysiders had already agreed a deal for World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister.
Declan Rice could be another big story of the window, with the West Ham midfielder being targeted by Arsenal for over £100million after the Gunners narrowly missed out on winning the Premier League title last season. Mikel Arteta’s side are also said to be working on a £50m deal to prise Jurrien Timber away from Ajax, while Manchester City could be weakened by the departures of Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan.
The Red Devils are desperately searching for a striker, while Chelsea are said to be continuing their talks with Brighton star Moises Caicedo. And Tottenham ace Son Heung-min has reportedly been offered a staggering £100m to play in Saudi Arabia.
