It has been a record-breaking transfer window in the Premier League with billions spent by England's top-flight clubs -- including huge fees for Liverpool's Florian Wirtz (£100 million) and Hugo Ekitike (£69 million) as well as the £66.3 million Manchester United paid for Benjamin Sesko. Liverpool's deadline day move for Newcastle United's Alexander Isak will be worth around €130 million, smashing the previous Premier League transfer record which was set by Chelsea when they paid Benfica an initial €106.3 million for Enzo Fernández.
According to Sky Sports News (via GiveMeSport), Wolves have entered into contract negotiations with Josh Brownhill, who remains a free agent after leaving Burnley at the start of July when his deal at Turf Moor expired. Brownhill, who was pursued by West Ham earlier in the summer, has also attracted strong interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab, who are willing to pay him in excess of 100k-a-week.
This summer, everyone wanted a striker. First, Chelsea signed Liam Delap from Ipswich Town and João Pedro from Brighton. Then Arsenal signed Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP, and Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. Then Liverpool tried to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle, before he publicly stated he no longer wants to play for Newcastle. Except, Newcastle were about to sign Ekitike, a strikingly similar player to Isak, until Liverpool jumped in.
As reported by TBR Football, West Ham are candidates to sign Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma. The Mali international has no future in north London following the arrival of Joao Palhinha, and arrangements are being made for him to depart before the transfer window closes next Monday. West Ham are prepared to sign Bissouma on loan, with Tottenham prepared to accept that a permanent sale may not be possible this late in the summer.
Arsenal have completed the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace after hijacking rivals Tottenham's deal for the talented midfielder, the club announced on Saturday. The Premier League title hopefuls have confirmed the move after leapfrogging Spurs, who previously appeared unopposed, in the race for Eze. The England international, 27, has joined for a fee worth up to £67.5 million ($91m), sources have told ESPN, and becomes Mikel Arteta's seventh signing of the summer window.
Manchester United's signing of Bryan Mbeumo for a fee of up to £71m marks the second-biggest move in the Premier League this summer, addressing their need for major surgery after a poor season.
