Jurrien Timber £38.5m Arsenal transfer 'confirmed' as Chelsea and Tottenham eye Liverpool targets

We are approaching a month since the summer transfer window opened and Premier League clubs continue to work to welcome fresh faces.

Liverpool have already announced the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai as their midfield rebuild continues to take shape. Romeo Lavia remains linked with a move to the Reds from relegated Southampton as reports suggest Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of the Belgian.

Manchester United announced the departure of David de Gea over the weekend, which will see their attentions now divert to confirming their new number one goalkeeper.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are still searching for their second and third summer arrivals following Kai Havertz's swap from Chelsea. And over at Stamford Bridge, the future of Romelu Lukaku remains unclear as Mauricio Pochettino's men look to swoop on Gabri Veiga of Celta Vigo, who has also been linked with Liverpool.

And here is a round-up of all the latest transfer gossip from around the Premier League.

Arsenal

The brother of Jurrien Timber has seemingly confirmed the Ajax defender's £38.5m move to Arsenal.

On Sunday, Timber's sibling Shamier posted an image to his social media as their family threw a party for the Holland international departing for London.

The Metro have managed to grab the now-deleted Instagram story which showed a banner with balloons and the message: 'Jurrien's goodbye party! See you in the streets of London.'

West Ham United captain Declan Rice is also reportedly close to completing his move across the capital to the Gunners.

Manchester United

Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting that Man United are close to reaching an agreement with Inter Milan for the signing of Andre Onana.

The Red Devils bid farewell to long-term number one De Gea after he officially became a free agent following their decision not to extend his contract. And it has been claimed that they are preparing a third offer of €50m (£42m) plus add-ons for Cameroon shot-stopper Onana.

Meanwhile, Nicolo Schira has reported that United are preparing a new bid to Atalanta to sign Rasmus Holjund. An initial €40m (£34m) offer was rejected by the Italian side as they look for a fee in the region of €60m (£51m).

In terms of outgoings at Old Trafford, the Independent claims the Red Devils looking to sell four players this summer, with Harry Maguire, Jadon Sancho, Fred and Scott McTominay are all free to leave.

Newcastle United

Harvey Barnes and Newcastle are both keen on making a move happen this summer, however Sky Sports via Chronicle Live have reported that an agreement is currently not close.

The Telegraph reported last week that the Magpies were set to sign the winger from Leicester City following their relegation to the Championship.

Now, Football Insider have reported that Barnes is keen to leave the Foxes this summer with a "well-placed source" revealing his age and top-flight experience has spurred Eddie Howe's willingness to complete a deal.

Tottenham Hotspur

According to Wolfsburger Allgemeine, Wolfsburg are looking for a fee of around £40m for defender Micky van de Ven. No offer has yet to be submitted for the Holland defender, who has previously been linked with a move to Liverpool.

The German outlet claims that Wolfsburg are more than happy to retain the services of the Netherlands Under-21s defender as Tottenham have yet to raise the funds they're asking for.

And the news doesn't stop there in North London as Spurs captain, Harry Kane, is said to have been subject to a second bid from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

Thomas Tuchel's side saw their first approach rebuffed but the Bavarians are looking to lodge a second bid of around €80m plus bonuses, according to Sky Germany via Kicker.

Chelsea

Chelsea remain one of the busiest clubs in the transfer market as the rumour mill churns out numerous reports. Lukaku is said to be willing to sacrifice almost £1m a year in wages to end his Stamford Bridge nightmare.

Inter Milan are set to make a new bid this week for the Belgian, who spent last season on loan at the San Siro, according to The Telegraph. The Londoners have rejected one offer from the Serie A outfit as they look to make £40m for his services.

Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal and Juventus are also interested but the former Everton and Man United forward is said to reassured Milan that he has no interest in joining their Italian rivals.

In recent weeks, Paulo Dybala has been linked with a move away from Serie A and namely with Pochettino's side. The move would see the Argentine link-up with his fellow countryman as he gets his feet under the desk at Cobham.

However, speaking on Sunday, the Roma striker expressed his happiness in Rome. He said: "I’m motivated for pre-season, which we’re starting tomorrow [Monday]. My future? I’m happy at Roma. I’m staying here."

There are conflicting reports surrounding Veiga, who has been subject of interest from Liverpool but interest has since cooled. Fabrizio Romano has reported that key weeks are ahead for the Spain Under-21 international over his future at Celta

Paris Saint-Germain as well as Chelsea are said to hold an interest in his services. But Spanish outlet Relevo have reported that he is plotting a return to pre-season with Rafa Benitez's side.
