Tottenham had looked to be in pole position to sign the England international but Arsenal have now stolen a march.

Reigning champions Liverpool have been among the busiest in the league, but they might not be done.

Alexander Isak's statement on Tuesday night could accelerate a move to Anfield for the Newcastle star, while a move for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi remains possible.

Unlike Liverpool and Arsenal, Manchester United made a losing start to the campaign.

A new central midfielder could be on the cards, even if Carlos Baleba is out of their price range, while they could also rival Manchester City for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

10:39KEY EVENTArsenal's Eze timeline

Eberechi Eze is expected to undergo his Arsenal medical on Friday.

Indications over the course of the week suggested he would play for Crystal Palace against Fredrikstad on Thursday night, but Mirror Football understands this is now no longer certain - though he is still set for a proper farewell from the Eagles players, staff and fans.

According to The Standard, there is still hope the Gunners can register their new man by 12pm on Friday - any later and he wouldn't be able to play against Leeds on Saturday.

10:19Tom VictorLeverkusen's Boniface set for Milan

Victor Boniface is due to join AC Milan on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, according to various reports - potentially standing in the way of Rasmus Hojlund joining the Italian side.

The Nigeria international's move will include an option to make the move permanent next summer for around £26m.

Boniface, 24, scored 11 times in 27 games for Leverkusen last term.

Sheffield United are poised to bring in Ben Godfrey on loan from Atalanta.

According to Sky in Italy, the defender was due to fly to England on Wednesday night for a medical.

The Championship side will have a chance to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

09:39Tom VictorSpurs' Eze issue uncovered

Part of Tottenham's early plan for Eberechi Eze was to send Richarlison to Crystal Palace as part of the deal.

However, according to Sky Sports, the Brazilian was not keen on heading to Selhurst Park.

Eze is now set for Arsenal in a deal worth up to £67.5m including add-ons.

09:19Tom VictorDONE DEAL: Bournemouth sign Adli

Bournemouth have completed the signing of Amine Adli.

The Morocco international has joined from Bayer Leverkusen on a five-year deal, hot on the heels of Ben Gannon-Doak's move from Liverpool.

"Amine is a proven winner and someone that will be a real asset to our squad," president of football operations Tiago Pinto said.

"He’s entering the prime of his career and I’m really excited to bring him to the club."

Chelsea are set to sell Renato Veiga to Villarreal, according to The Athletic.

The versatile Portugal international joined the Blues from Basel last summer but played just 18 times before joining Juventus on loan.

Juve had been linked with a permanent swoop, but instead he will join Villarreal for an initial £21m.

08:39Tom VictorWhat Eze move might mean for Morgan Rogers

Arsenal had been linked with Morgan Rogers before their Eberechi Eze breakthrough.

Will the latest development ensure Rogers stays put after Villa set a high asking price for the England international?

Or might Tottenham now chance their arm after missing out on Eze?

08:19Tom VictorArsenal Eze excitement ramps up

Arsenal have yet to confirm Eberechi Eze's arrival, but excitement is growing.

Overnight, street art has emerged showing the playmaker in a Gunners shirt.

It might not be all that long before we see the real thing.

Douglas Luiz will undergo a Nottingham Forest medical today, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Brazilian is set to replace Danlio, who returned to his home country from Forest earlier in the summer.

Luiz's exit could help accelerate some of Juve's other transfer business before the window shuts.

07:39Tom VictorVilla's Moreno off to Girona

Alex Moreno is set to leave Aston Villa for Girona, according to The Athletic.

The Spanish defender had been back at Villa Park after a loan spell with Nottingham Forest.

He will return to La Liga on a permanent basis, two-and-a-half years after joining Villa from Real Betis.

07:19Tom VictorMarseille want West Ham's Emerson

Emerson Palmieri has emerged as a target for Marseille, according to Foot Mercato (via GFFN).

The West Ham left-back found him in and out of the side under Graham Potter last term after the emergence of Ollie Scarles.

Potter also brought in El Hadji Malick Diouf over the summer, and this could pave the way for Italy international Emerson to leave East London.

06:59Tom VictorEnciso headed to Strasbourg

Strasbourg are closing in on Brighton youngster Julio Enciso, according to BBC Sport.

The French club are reportedly paying £17.3m for the Paraguay internatioanl, who is being tipped to later join sister side Chelsea.

Enciso, who joined Brighton in 2022, finished last season on loan at Ipswich after recovering from a serious knee injury.

Arsenal's move for Eze could see Jakub Kiwior move in the other direction, albeit in a separate deal.

If the Pole moves to Selhurst Park, that might prompt the Eagles to cash in on Liverpool target Marc Guehi.

Guehi is in the final year of his contract, but Palace's high asking price has so far put off the champions.

06:36Tom VictorICYMI: Arsenal lead Eze race

If you were out last night, you may have missed the news that Arsenal are poised to pip Tottenham to the signing of Eberechi Eze.

Spurs had reached an agreement with Crystal Palace for the England star, only for their rivals to swoop in at the eleventh hour.

We should see movement on the deal pretty swiftly, though Eze might be an Arsenal player in time for Saturday's game against Leeds.

He is set to undergo a Gunners medical, but only after one last Palace game against Fredrikstad in tonight's Conference League play-off.
