Premier League transfer news: Cristiano Ronaldo requests transfer, Arsenal confirm Gabriel Jesus signing, Raphinha rejects Chelsea

Things continue to heat up in the transfer market and this week could see some more big moves.

Here's the latest transfer stories doing the rounds:

Ronaldo's representatives approach two clubs

Cristiano Ronaldo's representatives have reportedly already approached two clubs regarding a potential deal for the Portuguese superstar after he lodged a shock transfer request to Manchester United at the weekend.

The forward - who only made his emotional return to Old Trafford last summer - requested to leave the club and cited their poor finish last season, as well as their hesitation in the transfer market as prime reasons behind his decision to depart.

According to The Sun, Premier League rivals Chelsea and German giants Bayern Munich are the two clubs so far to have been sounded out regarding a deal.

Arsenal confirm Gabriel Jesus signing

Arsenal have officially announced the signing of Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus for a fee of £45million.

The Brazilian, who has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium for several months, has put pen to paper on a long-term contract in north London, bringing his five-year stay at the Etihad Stadium to an end. He is Arsenal's fourth signing of the summer.

Raphinha turns down Chelsea move

Raphinha has reportedly requested his agent to deny Chelsea's interest in his services with the Blues battling with Barcelona.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and the Camp Nou this summer and as per Spanish outlet Sport, he has requested that his agent shut down discussions with the Blues.

Arsenal in Dybala race

Arsenal have reportedly not given up hope of luring Paulo Dybala to the Premier League, according to a new report.

Dybala is a free agent this summer after running his deal down at Juventus, but it has seemed as though he was closing in on a lucrative switch to Inter Milan. However, La Repubblica, via GIFN, claims that an agreement between Dybala and Inter is 'not close'.

Dembele could return to Barca
