The summer transfer window has just seven more days to run, and there are still plenty of deals in the pipeline, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United among the clubs working to finalise them.
The Gunners may have already spent over £270million this summer, but are not done yet as they hope to sign Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen.
They have also wrapped up a record deal with Shamrock Rovers for starlet Victor Ozhianvuna.
Liverpool are now expected to step up their pursuit of Alexander Isak following last night's Premier League clash at Newcastle, with a second bid considered imminent.
Chelsea remain confident of signing Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons, but the clock is ticking ahead of the September 1 deadline.

52 minutes agoNico Paz transfer truth confirmed by Como after Tottenham interest
Tottenham never made a bid for Como star Nico Paz, the Serie A side's owner has confirmed.
It was reported in recent days that Spurs have seen offers rejected for the 20-year-old Argentine, having earlier in the window failed to sign Morgan Gibbs-White and then Eberechi Eze.
Paz is considered one of the brightest young talents in Europe, having come through the Real Madrid academy before a €6million move to Como last summer.
Spurs are said to have made two bids for Paz, the last one totalling more than £60m, but Como owner Mirwan Suwarso has denied the reports.
“It’s not true that we rejected the offer," Suwarso told Corriere della Sera.

1 hour agoChelsea bomb squad latest
Chelsea academy product Tyrique George could also leave this summer due to increased competition in his position, and is attracting interest from Roma, writes Dom Smith.
Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku and George remain with the first-team squad despite uncertainty over their futures, while other players Chelsea are working to move on in the coming days - dubbed the ‘bomb squad’ - continue to train in a separate group.
Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, David Datro Fofana and Alfie Gilchrist are all available before Monday’s 7pm deadline.
Sterling and Chilwell have long been frozen out at Chelsea and are on high wages, so there is an acceptance that options are limited and that avenues for the ex-England pair to exit the club may only emerge on deadline day.
Bournemouth have a strong interest in centre-back Disasi, whose preference is to stay in the Premier League.

1 hour agoChelsea make Garnacho and Simons decision as priorities lie elsewhere
Chelsea have put summer moves for Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons on hold as they prioritise a final-week push in their bumper summer of sales, writes Dom Smith.
Garnacho and Simons want to move to Stamford Bridge, and the deals remain alive, but the Blues believe both signings can be completed in the final days of the window and are prioritising sales first.
The total amount of money raised through sales this summer has reached £270million over the weekend as Chelsea agreed to sell Carney Chukwuemeka to Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth up to £24m.
Chukwuemeka will be joined at Dortmund by Aaron Anselmino, who has agreed a season-long loan.
Nicolas Jackson has a number of suitors and is the most valuable player Chelsea are hoping to shift before the September 1 deadline.
The striker is liked by Newcastle and Bayern Munich, and Chelsea value him at £80m but would consider a loan with an obligation to buy.
