Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool move to Gravenberch, Man Utd turn around at Greenwood, Arsenal open up on Partey exit
With just over two weeks to go before the start of the summer transfer window, clubs are struggling to reach finish line deals, with Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea all active.
Chelsea’s summer business picked up this week with the signing of Romeo Lavia, but Mauricio Pochettino may not be done yet.
The Blues, who signed Lavia ahead of Liverpool, have bolstered their midfield options while breaking the UK transfer record for Moises Caicedo. The Reds had to look for alternatives and in the meantime bought Wataru Endo from Stuttgart
Manchester United continue their bid to get away with it, with Dean Henderson and Scott McTominay passing while keeping an eye on Sofyan Amrabat.
West Ham sign Mavropanos
West Ham are set to sign Stuttgart defender Konstantinos Mavropanos, who is due to travel to London within the next 24 hours.
According to The Athletic, the former Arsenal defender and Greece international will join the Hammers. Liverpool are confident in the Gravenberch deal
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is confident the club will sign Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch this summer.
Manchester United have also taken an interest in the Dutch ace as Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag gave the player his Ajax debut and helped develop his talents. However, it is Merseyside Reds who have a more advanced interest and a £20m deal is at stake.
The midfielder moved from Ajax to Bayern just last summer for €21m, but Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka blocked his starting line-up. He made just three Bundesliga appearances last season and failed to play a full 90 minutes in a home game last season.
