Transfer news live: Arsenal and Spurs battle for Leverkusen defender, Man Utd want Lammens, Isak to Liverpool update

Porto are expected to bid once more for Jakub Kiwior, despite Arsenal rejecting an opening offer in July.

According to Fabrizio Romano, “if Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kiwior do leave before the deadline, Arsenal could add one more player”, likely to be a defender.

The Gunners are asking for around £26m for the Poland international.

David Ornstein now reports that Arsenal are also working on a deal for Hincapie, with the Ecuadorian apparently prioritising the Gunners over any other club.

There are “efforts ongoing to make [the] fee more realistic than [the] €60m clause”, adds Ornstein.

Tottenham have made an approach for Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapié, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The deal would be an initial loan with an obligation to buy for around €60m, which is the same value as the Ecuadorian’s release clause.

Manchester United are in the midst of a crucial summer as Ruben Amorim finally re-shapes his squad and tries to transform his failing team into contenders at the top end of the table.

Now Amorim has had a full preseason to prepare his side and a summer transfer window to mould his squad before a season without European football, and he must take full advantage.

The release of the Premier League fixtures showed a difficult start for United, with games against Manchester City and Chelsea to come after their opening loss to Arsenal, and while the performance was encouraging against the Gunners, the manager’s future could be called into question early should his side struggle in the coming weeks.

Offloading high-wage players such as Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho is key to funding the rest of the window, with a lack of movement potentially leading to the club missing out on the next step: midfield and goalkeeper signings.

Here’s everything you need to know about Manchester United’s summer transfer plans.

AC Milan target Victor Boniface has “failed his medical tests” at the Italian club and will return to Bayer Leverkusen, reports Fabrizio Romano.

The Nigerian striker has returned to Germany “despite [a] verbal agreement for [a] €5m loan fee and €24m buy clause”.

Tottenham have seen a €70m bid for Como’s Nico Paz turned down by the Italian club, according to Fabrizio Romano.

“Real have €10m buy back clause in 2026 but will compensate Como in future,” adds the Italian, with Madrid wanting the youngster to stay in Italy for one more season.

Manchester United are in talks with Antwerp about a £17.3m move for the Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens.

Andre Onana is expected to remain at Old Trafford but Ruben Amorim is advancing in his attempts to add more competition for places.

And Lammens, a Belgium Under-21 international, could become United’s fifth summer signing after forwards Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko and wing-back Diego Leon.

Leeds have agreed an £8m fee with Leicester for full-back James Justin as Daniel Farke is closing in on his 10th summer signing.

The deal could rise to £10m, depending on add-ons, and would take the promoted club’s spending in this transfer window past £100m.

And Justin’s arrival would enable Farke to strengthen his defence after Leeds conceded five goals in Saturday’s defeat to Arsenal.

Transfer deadline day is just around the corner, with clubs across Europe having until 1 September to wrap up the final deals of a busy summer window.

And with just 11 days left until the window slams shut, there is plenty going on behind the scenes as clubs look to make their final additions ahead of the 2025/26 season starting in earnest.

Here are 10 Premier League deals that could still be done before the deadline.

Following a 1-0 loss to Arsenal and a dispiriting draw with Fulham, it’s clear that there is a glaring hole in this Man United side – and it isn’t in their new-look, £200m front line.

Chris Wilson argues the club must strengthen in one key area, with Ruben Amorim’s future at stake if they don’t:
