One player who won't be joining, though, is his ex-frontman at Sporting Lisbon, Viktor Gyokeres, who is hopeful a move to Arsenal can be completed soon.

Liverpool are the summer's biggest spenders and, after breaking the British-transfer record, look like they've landed even more firepower with Hugo Ekitike set to undergo a medical before joining from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Elsewhere Marcus Rashford's loan move to Barcelona is almost done, Jack Grealish still wants a way out of Manchester City and speculation over Newcastle's Alexander Isak simply refuses to go away.

Are we any closer to an end in the Viktor Gyokeres saga?

Maybe.

Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon remain locked in talks as they bid to nail down the final structure of a deal which would bring the Swede to north London.

Arsenal are now on their pre-season tour of Asia, which they would like Gyokeres to join them on.

But if that's going to happen, they need to find a resolution to the current stalemate in talks.
