Transfer news live: Liverpool set Isak deadline, Spurs accelerate Eze bid, Donnarumma to Man Utd update

Brentford boss Keith Andrews does not know how Yoane Wissa’s transfer situation will play out.

Wissa was not involved in Sunday’s Premier League opener at Nottingham Forest, where the Bees went down to a 3-1 defeat.

The 28-year-old wants to follow Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard out of the club during the summer transfer window, with Newcastle strongly linked with a bid, and Andrews said before the match he was not in the right head space to play.

“It’s a day-by-day one in terms of Wiss,” the Irishman said. “As far as I know nothing else has happened today, definitely didn’t yesterday, so as it was really.

“I have no idea what the situation will be, I have been up here since yesterday so we will deal with that during the week.”

Still available for transfer are Manchester United’s exiles.

Marcus Rashford has been moved on but all of Antony, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho may yet be on the move before the end of the window.

Preferably for the club all three would be sold on permanent deals but they have quite a lot of negotiating to do before that can happen.

A transfer that probably needs to happen for Manchester United.

Altay Bayindir’s error against Arsenal on Sunday cost a revamped and renewed United side a point against Arsenal at Old Trafford and PSG’s exiled goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma would improve them immensely.

Donnarumma was again left out of PSG’s squad, this time against Nantes in Ligue 1, after also being omitted from the Super Cup victory over Tottenham.

The Italian has been linked with both Manchester clubs with City perhaps slightly ahead of United in the rumour mill.

Need is more pressing for the team in red though as City have excellent goalkeepers at their disposal in James Trafford, Stefan Ortega and Ederson.

The latter is said to be potentially moving to Galatasaray which will be a factor in their pursuit of Donnarumma.

BBC Sport say that Spurs will ‘accelerate’ their bid for Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze within the next 48 hours.

The two clubs have been progressing in talks over the 27-year-old though at times they have been ‘difficult’.

Spurs are now hopeful a deal is within reach with a price rumoured to be slightly less than his expired release cluase of £60m + £8m in add ons.

The saga that has rolled on for most of the summer concerns Alexander Isak, Newcastle and Liverpool.

The Premier League champions submitted a £110m bid for Newcastle’s main forward but that was rejected out of hand and the Reds moved to sign Hugo Ekitike.

They have remained interested in Isak but the weekend’s results prove that Newcastle need his services more than Liverpool do.

The latest in this move is that Liverpool have made Isak their priority for the closing weeks of the window but want the deal done sooner than later.

They’ve set a deadline of next week to get an agreement done with Newcastle otherwise they will move on to other targets.

Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of the latest transfer news.

The opening weekend of the Premier League season was eye-opening for many clubs as the areas in which they need to improve were on display.

Manchester United will be ruing Altay Bayindir’s goalkeeping error against Arsenal while Liverpool will be considering whether they need another forward after Hugo Ekitike’s impressive debut.

We’ll have all the latest gossip and rumours throughout the day so let’s get into it…
