Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd given Gakpo boost, De Jong Chelsea deal, Arsenal exit

With the Premier League season officially underway, many top clubs will know if they need to do more business before the window closes. It's really time to scramble now and transfers should come fast and smooth as the deadline draws near.

Manchester United, more than most, need signings after their humiliating 2-1 home defeat to Brighton on the opening matchday of the season. Adrien Rabiot and Cody Gakpo are currently their No. 1 targets with ongoing contracts for both stars.

Chelsea, meanwhile, want another defender and have made Wesley Fofana their priority, although demands for £85m from Leicester are currently delaying the deal.

Newcastle are also tipped to splash the cash in the coming weeks on a top striker. They have a number of targets in sight and are said to be making a bid for Goncalo Ramos valued at £25m, who is also being tracked by PSG.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool could also bring at least one more new face, with a busy few weeks expected as the end of the window nears.
