Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of the summer transfer window.
We lead on the news that Arsenal are set to confirm the signing of Nicolas Pepe from Lille.
The Gunners are parting with a fee of £72million for the Ivorian, that will be paid in instalments over a number of years, and he has agreed terms on a five-year contract.
Menwhile, Man Utd and Juventus have opened talks over a possible swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala.

But United’s interest in Dybala has added another dimension to one of the transfer sagas of the summer.
