Luton Town star Tahith Chong is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, report Sky Sports Germany.

The Hatters have not made a decision on the future of the 24-year-old at this stage, though there is interest from abroad as well.

The agent of Newcastle target Malick Thiaw has rubbished claims that his client is on the cusp of joining the Magpies.

Reports over the past 24 hours have speculated that an agreement is close to being reached between Newcastle and AC Milan, with the German claimed to have also agreed on personal terms at St James’ Park.

Gordon Stipic, the agent of Thiaw, has now spoken out against those reports, telling Sky Germany: “The current reporting about my client Malick Thiaw in connection with a possible transfer to Newcastle United is FALSE and incorrect. Therefore, I will not comment on any further rumours.”

Napoli have reportedly opened the door to striking a swap deal with Chelsea involving Victor Osimhen.

Antonio Conte’s side are desperate to secure the signature of Romelu Lukaku this summer and are hoping to strike a deal to secure his signature as soon as possible.

The Serie A side anticipate losing Osimhen despite talks with Paris Saint-Germain being at a standstill.

As a result, Fabrizio Romano reports that Napoli are ‘open to discussing’ a deal which would see Osimhen head to Stamford Bridge in return for Lukaku and a transfer fee.

Liverpool have reportedly rejected a bid from PSV Eindhoven for Sepp van den Berg.

The defender spoke openly earlier this summer about his desire to leave the Reds and pleaded the club not to price him out of an exit.

However, his request appears to have fallen on deaf ears.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool ‘immediately rejected’ a bid worth £8.4million from PSV last week.

Atalanta are reportedly working towards hijacking West Ham’s pursuit of Kevin Danso, reports Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Lens defender is attracting plenty of interest this summer and the Hammers are among those to have shortlisted the Austria international as a target.

Newcastle are reportedly ‘close’ to striking a deal with AC Milan for Malick Thiaw.

According to HITC, talks between the Magpies and the Serie A side advanced over the weekend and a package worth £35million, including add-ons, has been discussed for the German.

Brighton are set to sign Inter Miami playmaker Diego Gomez.

That is according to reports in Paraguay, who claim that the midfielder will put pen to paper with the Seagulls today.

Nottingham Forest are reportedly eyeing a loan move for Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale.

According to The Sun, the Gunners are not keen to part ways with the England international if their £50million valuation is not met, prompting Forest to draw up a plan in the hope of acquiring his services on loan.

“I’m super excited, incredibly proud and can’t wait to get started,” Varane wrote on X.

Talks between David de Gea and Genoa have collapsed due to unrealistic salary expectations, according to Sky Sports.

The former Manchester United goalkeeper once picked up £375,000 a week at Old Trafford but he has been without a club for over a year.

West Ham have submitted a £29.6million bid for AS Monaco star Youssouf Fofana, according to L’Equipe.

The proposal is believed to match the Ligue 1 club’s asking price for the combative midfielder.

Manchester United have also been credited with interest in the 25-year-old.

Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement to sign Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich, according to Foot Mercato.

The right-back has already said ‘yes’ to the Red Devils and seems bound for the Premier League.

The only thing holding up the deal is believed to be Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s move from United to West Ham.

The club and the player are yet to agree personal terms on a switch which would open the door for Mazraoui to take Wan-Bissaka’s place at Old Trafford.

Dele Alli’s future at Everton remains unclear, but manager Sean Dyche has confirmed he’s back in training.

“Dele is getting fitter but only really just breaking into training,” he told reporters. “Forgetting about the contact situation. He’s generally with us and getting fitter.”

Manchester City are yet to make a signing this summer, and manager Pep Guardiola avoided speaking about transfers after the 3-2 defeat by AC Milan in New York last night.

Erling Haaland put City in front, but Lorenzo Colombo equalised and added a second before half-time. James McAtee headed City level the before Marco Nasti scored the winner.

“It was a step forward,” said Guardiola. “No injuries, minutes in our legs, another test – and now we fly to another game in a few days.”

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly reached an agreement with Benfica for Portuguese midfield wonderkid Joao Neves.

Once the deal goes through, it is expected Manuel Ugarte and Fabian Ruiz will both be allowed to leave, with Manchester United in particular linked to Ugarte.

David De Gea is set to return to professional football more than a year after leaving Manchester United.

The 33-year-old has been a free agent since last summer, and according to the Athletic, is in talks with Serie A side Genoa.

Following their win last night, Arsenal are expected to complete a deal for Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori in the next 24 hours.
