Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City are among the clubs keen on a deal for Aston Villa central defender Ezri Konsa, according to TBR. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are also said to have been keeping tabs on Konsa and have scouted him in the last 12 months. Konsa has been on the books of Villa since 2019 and has made 248 appearances for the Villans, scoring 10 goals and giving three assists in the process.

Chelsea are interested in signing the Newcastle United defender Sven Botman. The 25-year-old Netherlands international has established himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League, and Chelsea are admirers of the defender. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player. Botman has been linked with Liverpool as well.

Arsenal and Chelsea are among the clubs interested in signing Anton Palmer and Bailey Palmer. The two players have decided to leave Middlesbrough, and they are on the radar of every top Premier League club. Along with Arsenal and Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham are keen on securing their signature as well, as per TBR. Where next for the Palmer twins? It will be interesting to see what the two players decide.

Sunderland's summer transfer activity was the talk of the town during the recent window - and for good reason. The Black Cats added an entirely new starting XI to the squad which secured a return to the top flight via the Championship play-offs last season and have hit the ground running after their nine-year Premier League hiatus. Sunderland beat rivals to a number of signings, including the 30 million capture of Habib Diarra from Strasbourg, who was high on Leeds United's list of midfield targets.

Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, these are just some of the Premier League clubs who have benefitted from the fact that Manchester City couldn't provide sufficient game time for some of their academy products to develop properly. City boss Pep Guardiola believes these players would've been starters in his team at this point, had things turned out differently. Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, Jeremie Frimpong, Jamie Gittens, Romeo Lavia, Liam Delap, Jadon Sancho...

Kane's Bayern contract expires in 2027, so there is a good chance he will return to England next summer, allowing Bayern to receive a transfer fee. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle have all spent fortunes on vastly inferior centre-forwards this year. All should have their eyes on Kane's situation, even if he will turn 33 next summer. Even though a return to Spurs will always be the most likely option.

Shearer's move to Blackburn was a pivotal moment in the Premier League's inaugural season, backed by the ambition of their new owner Jack Walker. After an injury-hit first campaign where he scored 16 goals, Shearer exploded in the 1993-94 season with 31 goals from 40 games. The following season, he formed a formidable strike partnership with Chris Sutton and his 34 goals were crucial to Blackburn's title win, the only major honour of his career.

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.
