Manchester United are confident of finalising deals for Harry Maguire and Sean Longstaff.
The Standard claim Ed Woodward has remained in the UK to push through both deals.
Leicester value Maguire at £90m, with United's latest offer short of that at £70m, while £30m for Longstaff is said to be a compromise, after Newcastle previously demanded £50m based off the fee for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Dani Ceballos’ move to Arsenal has been thrown into doubt after the Real Madrid star’s teammate Marco Asensio suffered a serious knee injury in a pre-season friendly against the Gunners.
Ceballos, after shining in the European Under-21 Championships and inspiring Spain to victory, is eager for increased playing time next season.
And Real had conceded he would require a loan with minutes likely to be limited under Zinedine Zidane next season.
Unai Emery appeared set to sign Ceballos on loan, but after Asensio suffered what appears to be an ACL injury and a probable nine-month absence, Emery concedes the agreement could be jeopardised.
“I don’t know (if the injury will affect our deal for Ceballos),” Emery said after Arsenal lost on penalties following the 2-2 draw.
Morgan Gibbs-White is hoping for more first-team opportunities at Wolves this season.
The England U17 World Cup-winner enjoyed an impressive breakthrough but was gradually edged out of the starting eleven.
Wolves qualified for the Europa League last season for the first time in 39 years and the winger hopes that the added fixtures will provide him with more time to show his worth.
Birmingham have signed Chelsea defender Jake Clarke-Salter on a season-long loan.
A number of Championship clubs expressed an interest in taking Clarke-Salter on loan, but Birmingham moved quickly to agree a deal with Chelsea and the player.
Sporting Lisbon head coach Marcel Keizer has said he hopes midfielder Bruno Fernandes will stay at the club, after being strongly linked with Manchester United.
When asked about a possible departure of Fernandes, Keizer told Sport TV: "A player of his quality cannot be replaced.
"If it were up to me, the market would close, it's good enough for me. But all the teams are waiting to see what happens with respect to new players and possible transfers.
“Sporting wants to keep the best but we are not in a position to keep all of our players and something will happen but I do hope they can stay."
Inter Milan are keen on Lukaku but have seen their bids rejected by United, as Lukaku remains with the squad in China.
The 26-year-old will now also miss Thursday’s clash against Tottenham in Shanghai thanks to his ankle injury.
Solskjaer has been positive about Lukaku’s behaviour and insisted that the injury occurred during the tour.
Asked if he regretted taking Lukaku on tour, the United boss said: “He got injured in training so he had to stay here. If it was worse we would have sent him home, but he’s been working with the physios in the gym, so no.
“Of course it’s never nice to be a player who misses out on important fitness work and team understanding and tactical approach, so he’ll just have to make up later on.
“He has been working with the physios the last few days. I don’t think he’ll make this one (match) either.”
According to Sky Sports, Dani Caballero is in London for a medical after Arsenal and Real Madrid agreed a deal.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery previously admitted he did not know if the injury suffered by Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio, during a friendly between the two clubs, would affect the deal for Ceballos.
Arsenal's move for Dani Ceballos could be in doubt, with Marco Asensio's ACL injury causing problems for Real Madrid and their plans.
Zinedine Zidane is admittedly concerned: "It has nothing to do with one thing. We are all touched by Marco, hopefully as little as possible, just that,” said Zidane.
“We're a little worried (by Asensio). It's the knee. He went straight to the hospital to get tested and see. But it looks bad. It's the bad thing of the day for us. because we lose a player and we are a little touched, yes.”
