The summer transfer window continues to churn out fresh speculation across the Premier League and beyond, with several major clubs reportedly working on deals to reshape their squads before the deadline.
Arsenal are said to be exploring alternatives in the wide areas after missing out on Vinícius Júnior, who recently committed his future to Real Madrid with a new contract. Mikel Arteta's side have turned their attention to Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz, with one possible route to a deal involving Gabriel Martinelli heading to Turin as part of the arrangement.
Manchester City are also busy trying to strengthen their midfield in short order. Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton is understood to be on City's list of targets, though his reported £100m valuation may prove a significant obstacle. City are said to have made contact with Palace over the player but were quickly turned down. Meanwhile, with winger Savinho reportedly departing for Tottenham, City could look to Palmeiras' Allan Elias, a left-footed player who operates on the right flank, as a replacement — though the Brazilian club are not believed to be willing sellers. Elsewhere, Ruben Amorim is reportedly keen on bringing Rúben Dias to AC Milan.
At Liverpool, there are reports the club could table a £55m offer for Real Madrid's Endrick, testing the Spanish giants' resolve to keep the young Brazilian forward. Endrick spent last season on loan at Lyon and has previously been linked with Aston Villa, who might renew their interest in him should Ollie Watkins depart for Al-Hilal.
Chelsea appear set for further departures from their squad, with striker Nicolas Jackson reportedly in talks with Napoli over a possible move to Serie A, while Atlético Madrid have also been credited with interest in the Senegalese forward. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are said to be searching for a new centre-back and have identified Chelsea's Axel Disasi as a potential target. Disasi, considered surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, has previously spent loan spells at Aston Villa and West Ham, and a move to Selhurst Park is seen as a relatively uncomplicated deal. Palace boss Pierre Sage is also reportedly an admirer of Auxerre midfielder Kevin Danois, valued at around £25m.
However, Palace could also see a departure of their own, with forward Jean-Philippe Mateta attracting interest from Tottenham. The Frenchman, who enters the final year of his contract, has long been tipped for a move away from Selhurst Park, and his situation could eventually force the club's hand.
Further down the football pyramid, Hull City are reportedly showing interest in Feyenoord midfielder Oussama Targhalline, having already submitted a bid for the player. Hull face competition from Porto, Atalanta and Bologna, however, all of whom are also said to be tracking the Dutch club's youngster.
Meanwhile, Leeds United, Liverpool and Everton are all credited with interest in Midtjylland winger Darío Osorio. The Chilean has impressed in the Danish league and in European competition, and could emerge as one of the window's most sought-after bargains if a club is willing to meet his valuation. In a smaller but notable development, Polish outfit Radomiak Radom have reportedly had a loan bid for Leeds youngster Alfie Cresswell turned down.
Finally, Burnley are said to be growing anxious over the future of forward Zian Flemming, with Lille understood to be increasing their pursuit of the player before the transfer window closes.
