The summer window remains alive despite a brief hiatus between registration windows ahead of the start of the Club World Cup.

Chelsea are currently focusing on their first Club World Cup game, against LAFC on Sunday, but are expected to soon revive interest in Mike Maignan and Jamie Gittens after failed attempts to snap them up before the first summer deadline.

City have committed to commemorating his time at the club with a statue outside the Etihad.

De Bruyne had reportedly been weighing up offers from Napoli and Chicago Fire as he looked for a new challenge, and the newly-crowned Scudetto winners pipped the MLS outfit to his signature.

Matheus Cunha has completed his “dream” move to Manchester United from Wolves.

United agreed a £63m deal earlier this month and Cunha has signed a five-year deal, with the option to extend by a further 12 months.

"It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player," he said.

"I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality."

5 hours agoArsenal get potential Rogers boost

Well, this is rather interesting.

Earlier today we brought you news that Aston Villa are interested in signing Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United.

Though any deal will not come cheap as United view Garnacho as one of the very few sellable players who could command a high price.

As a result, they are said to want £70m to sanction his exit.

According to the Independent, Villa’s move for the 20-year-old is dependent on whether they sell midfielder Morgan Rogers.

The England international is on the radar of Arsenal this summer, so could this be a potential boost for the Gunners?
