Tottenham's '£55m deal', Arsenal transfer hint, £80m Man United bid - Premier League rumours

The transfer deadline slams shut on Thursday August 8 as clubs in the Premier League look to improve their squads ahead of the 2019/20 campaign.

This is the time of the year when the rumour mill goes into overdrive with reports flying out left, right and centre.

Gossip is everywhere right now and the latest round-up of rumours is a prime example of the current state of play in the summer transfer window.

Here are all the latest transfer rumours from around the Premier League.

Lukaku transfer twist

Romelu Lukaku had been widely expected to leave Manchester United and make a move to Serie A this summer.

Inter Milan were first interested before United's demands appeared to be too much for the Italians.

Juventus have since shown their interest in the Belgium international and a swap deal with Paulo Dybala has been talked up.

However, with Dybala stalling on a potential move to United, it's now said that Lukaku is still wanted by Inter.

The MEN says that the Italian giants have not given up on signing Lukaku, while the Red Devils admit it's still possible that the forward remains in Manchester.

Maguire to United latest

Manchester United have made a last-ditch bid for Harry Maguire.

The Foxes want £90m for the England centre-back but the highest official bid to date has been £70m.

Sky Sports, however, suggest that United have offered an improved bid of £80m.

Koscielny future hint

Arsenal boss Unai Emery wants to see Laurent Koscielny stay despite reports of him leaving the club.

Koscielny sat out pre-season as he aims to find a new club amid talk of him departing for Bordeaux.

However, Emery is eager to retain the 33-year-old centre-back ahead of the new season.

Spurs close to £55m deal

Tottenham are on the verge of landing Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis, according to talkSPORT.

Spurs paid £54m for Tanguy Ndombele last month but they are expected to beat that club record in the coming days.

It's believed that Mauricio Pochettino's men will complete a £55m deal for the 23-year-old.

Liverpool starlet struggling to leave

Ryan Kent wants to leave Liverpool but the 22-year-old is being priced out of a move away from Anfield.

That's according to Sky Sports, who state that the Reds will not allow him to depart on loan.

Kent was eager to return to Rangers, where he starred last season, but the Scottish side cannot afford the player's £7m valuation.
