Nottingham Forest have reportedly lined up a move for Villarreal attacker Arnaut Danjuma.

The Dutchman spent the first half of last season on loan at Tottenham Hotspur, before spending the second half of the campaign with Everton.

While the 27-year-old has started the first two La Liga games, there is still some uncertainty about whether he will still be at the club beyond the summer transfer deadline.

Switching targets: Wolves 'in talks' to sign different Burnley player

© Reuters

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly in discussions with Burnley regarding a potential incoming before the end of the summer transfer window.

Despite conducting early business to get the likes of Rodrigo Gomes and Jorgen Strand Larsen into Molineux, Wolves have not backed up that activity.

However, head coach Gary O'Neil is believed to be in the market for a new goalkeeper and centre-back, with Burnley's Dara O'Shea having previously been identified to replace Max Kilman at the back.

On Saturday evening, though, a number of reports have emerged which suggest that the Republic of Ireland international will instead be signing for Ipswich Town.

Liverpool have reportedly not thrown in the towel on their pursuit of Atalanta BC midfielder Teun Koopmeiners and are still hopeful of beating Juventus to the Dutchman.

The Reds are gearing up to meet Brentford in gameweek two of the Premier League season having not made a single new signing this summer, unlike all other 19 teams in the English top flight.

The sales of Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho to Brentford have generated almost £50m in income, while Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip's exits have also freed up a good chunk of the wage bill.

However, the contract situations of key trio Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold - all of whom could leave for free in 2025 - are taking priority for new sporting director Richard Hughes.

Six-club scrap? Arsenal outcast 'inundated' with transfer interest

© Reuters

Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney is reportedly attracting interest from six clubs ahead of his expected departure from the Emirates.

The Scotland international was an instant hit at the Emirates upon his arrival from Celtic in 2019, where he would succeed the long-serving Nacho Monreal in defence.

Tierney impressed with his explosive displays on the left-hand side, although he was hampered by a succession of injuries and fell out of favour under Mikel Arteta in 2022.

The arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko saw Arteta start to favour an inverted full-back as opposed to a player of Tierney's profile, as the 27-year-old performs best on the overlap.

In his first full campaign in the Primeira Liga, the Swede scored 29 goals and provided nine assists in 33 appearances, earning the Golden Boot, eight goals clear of Simon Banza in second place.

Porto have sensationally signed Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion for a far lower fee than Chelsea were prepared to pay earlier in the summer transfer window.

Despite having never played a first-team game for Atletico, the 20-year-old found himself at the centre of a transfer saga several weeks ago.

At a time when Conor Gallagher had agreed to sign for Atletico, the Spanish giants wanted to sell Omorodion to Chelsea for a fee in the region of £35m.

Omorodion only scored a modest eight goals from 35 appearances on loan at Alaves last season, yet the finances involved were determined to ensure that both clubs bolstered their positions with financial regulations.

Chelsea and Ipswich Town are reportedly facing the prospect of a deal for Armando Broja being scrapped.

Despite making a number of appearances on the club's pre-season tour of the United States, it has been known for some time that Broja has no future at Stamford Bridge.

The Albania international has been training away from the senior squad with more than a dozen players deemed to be outcasts of Enzo Maresca's new regime.

In recent days, though, it has appeared highly likely that the 22-year-old would complete a transfer to Ipswich, initially on a season-long loan deal.

Manchester United have reportedly turned down a €25m (£21.2m) offer from Napoli for Scott McTominay, with the Red Devils not prepared to drop their valuation of the Scotland international.

McTominay's future has been the subject of speculation throughout the summer, with Man United said to be willing to let him leave for the right price.
