Transfer news live: Sesko to undergo Man United medical today, Liverpool’s Isak plan, Arsenal reject Rodrygo swap

Raheem Sterling is believed to have caught the interest of Fulham, Crystal Palace and West Ham, according to the Daily Mail.

The former England international is virtually guaranteed to make the move away from Chelsea this summer.

Liverpool have sold midfielder Tyler Morton to Lyon for £15m, meaning they have brought in almost £150m in transfers this summer.

The England Under-21 international, who made 14 first-team appearances for Liverpool, joined the Ligue Un club after passing a medical.

Liverpool also have a 20 percent sell-on clause for Morton if the 22-year-old, who helped England win the European Under-21 Championships in June, continues to improve.

Newcastle United are considering returning to a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, according to the Times.

Guehi has been a target for Liverpool this summer but was the subject of a large bid from Newcastle last summer, and recent reports suggest that the Reds may not return with another bid, instead targeting young talent from around Europe.

This year, it is thought that the Magpies value Guehi at £40m, though Palace’s valuation is more like £50m.

Man Utd have rejected five offers from clubs in the Premier League and Serie A for defender Harry Maguire, reports the Daily Mail.

The club have reportedly told potential suitors that Maguire could be offered a new deal to see out his career at Old Trafford, though clubs in Europe and the UK are ready to swoop in if that doesn’t happen.

Borussia Dortmund are targeting four pf Chelsea’s wantaway players, according to reports in France.

The German club are close to agreeing a move for midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka – who spent the second half of last season on loan at the Signal Iduna Park – in a deal that would be worth around £22m.

And they are also said to be interested in Tyrique George, Axel Disasi and Renato Veiga, with talks ongoing between the two clubs.

Manchester United are on the brink of signing Benjamin Sesko and will head into the new season with a whole new forward line.

Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have also been brought in from Wolves and Brentford respectively and bring a heap of Premier League experience with them.

Ruben Amorim is pleased with how his team have been performing in pre-season but may want a few more additions before the window is done.

Here’s how United could line up for their first match against Arsenal on August 17:

Man Utd possible XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Amad, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko

The Slovenian striker, who could cost up to £73.7m if add-ons are triggered, is set to become Ruben Amorim’s third major signing this summer and to take his spending in the transfer window to over £200m.

Aston Villa have agreed a deal for Nice striker Evann Guessand, according to Sky Sports.

The deal will cost an initial £23.5m potentially rising to almost £28m with add-ons, and it is all pending a medical.

The 24-year-old will sign a contract until 2030. Will that open up the possibility that Ollie Watkins can leave this summer?

Newcastle will have to quickly move on to new striker targets after Benjamin Sesko elected to join Man Utd instead of them.

The Magpies have reportedly earmarked both Ollie Watkins and Nicolas Jackson as targets, though Chelsea are valuing their man at around £80m according to reports.

Watkins would be available for closer to £60m, while other names linked to Eddie Howe’s side include Yoane Wissa, who was the subject of a £30m bid earlier in the window.
