Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea continue to be major players in the summer transfer window. Spurs have already added a fourth player to their squad in the form of Everton’s Richarlison and would now follow Jesse Lingard alongside Clement Lenglet and Djed Spence.
At Arsenal, the £45million arrival of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City is imminent after the Brazilian was spotted wearing the No.9 shirt at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are also tracking Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez, although they face stiff competition from Manchester United, with the Argentina international preferring a move to Old Trafford and a reunion with Erik ten Hag.
Chelsea are yet to sign their first signing under new owner Todd Boehly, although they are trying to beat Barcelona against Raphinha, knock out Ousmane Dembele from the Catalans and add Raheem Sterling and Matthijs de Ligt. Follow all the latest rumors below!

Lisandro Martinez prefers Man United to Arsenal
It could be a bad week for Arsenal.
Having seen their attempts to sign Leeds United star Raphinha admired by Chelsea (and potentially Barcelona), Manchester United could do something similar when it comes to Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
Standard Sport understands the Gunners are pushing for a quick deal with the Dutch giants, although the Argentina international may have other ideas.
Indeed, the Daily Mail claim that the idea of linking up with former boss Erik Ten Hag at Old Trafford appeals to Martinez.

Tottenham considering Jesse Lingard approach
Jesse Lingard looked set to return to West Ham after his contract with Manchester United officially expired on Thursday.
After enjoying a productive loan spell in east London in 2021, David Moyes has launched another bid to sign the England international, with a return to east London looking quite a natural outcome.
The Telegraph, however, claim Tottenham are considering a move for the 29-year-old. A free agent with plenty of experience and capable of playing on the front line, Antonio Conte would consider him.
