Keep up to date as Arsenal look set to complete £30m swoop while Chelsea continue their new striker search

Transfer news LIVE!

Arsenal are looking to complete a £30million deal for Mikel Merino this week after agreeing a deal in principle for the Real Sociedad midfielder. Once the final terms of the fee are sealed, he will travel for a medical and link up with Mikel Arteta’s squad. Next up for the Gunners could be a deal for goalkeeper Joan Garcia, if they can find a buyer from Aaron Ramsdale, but they won’t sign a new striker.

Chelsea continue to search for a new striker, amid ongoing uncertainty over Raheem Sterling’s future, with Victor Osimhen a top target. Reports in France say PSG will not be signing the Napoli marksman, which keeps the door open for a player-plus-cash deal involving Romelu Lukaku. Joao Felix is nearing a move to Stamford Bridge for £34m, a deal which should finally see Conor Gallagher join Atletico Madrid.
