Finally! Liverpool announce first signing of summer transfer window
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Farne-slot.JPG "Liverpool manager Arne Slot pictured on August 17, 2024")
Liverpool have announced that Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has agreed to move to Anfield next summer.
Arne Slot has had to remain patient for the Merseyside giants to come close to getting any deal over the line during the current transfer window.
Aside from being turned down by Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, Liverpool have been prepared to play a waiting game with regards to bringing in fresh faces.
The breakthrough for this campaign may come in the form of Federico Chiesa, who is said to be closing in on a move from Juventus, but the Premier League outfit have confirmed that they have a deal in place for a high-profile arrival in 10 months time.
Upping the ante? Chelsea 'make first official offer' to sign long-standing target
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F34%2Fenzo-maresca.jpg "Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca applauds the fans after the match on August 11, 2024")
Chelsea have reportedly made their most significant move in their efforts to secure a deal for Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.
For a number of transfer windows, the Blues have held an interest in the Nigeria international without coming close to getting a transfer over the line.
However, it has been known for a number of months that the Serie A outfit have been open to cashing in on their leading marksman for the right price.
Napoli already have a deal in place for Romelu Lukaku to move in the opposite direction and effectively replace Osimhen, with that deal expected to be concluded in the next 48 hours.
Transfer news and rumours today: Koopmeiners to Juventus, Kossounou to Atalanta
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F12%2Fteun-koopmeiners.jpg "Atalanta BC's Teun Koopmeiners reacts in September 2023")
Juventus have reportedly reached a final agreement with Atalanta BC to sign midfielder Teun Koopmeiners.
The Dutchman has been linked with a move away from Bergamo after impressing with his performances during the 2023-24 season.
Koopmeiners registered 15 goals and seven assists in 51 competitive appearances, helping Atalanta win the Europa League, reach the Coppa Italia final and achieve a fourth-placed finish.
The midfielder has been linked with a move to Liverpool, but the Reds are set to lose out to Italian giants Juventus.
Turkish delight: Brighton confirm £25.3m defender signing
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F34%2Fferdi-kadioglu.jpg "Fenerbahce's Ferdi Kadioglu during the warm-up on August 6, 2024")
Brighton & Hove Albion have completed the signing of full-back Ferdi Kadioglu from Fenerbahce.
The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a four-year contract at the Amex Stadium and was unveiled to the Seagulls supporters before the club's EFL Cup second-round win at home to Crawley Town on Tuesday night.
Kadioglu joins Brighton for undisclosed terms, but the Seagulls are believed to have forked out around €30m (£25.3m) to secure his services.
Brighton managed to fend off interest from the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, who were all linked with the defender earlier this summer.
Wolves 'closing in' on alternative to Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fgary-oneil.JPG "Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Gary O'Neil on August 17, 2024.")
Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly close to getting a deal over the line for Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
Despite an early influx of new additions, supporters of Wolves have been left frustrated with their club's approach to the summer transfer window.
Although £90m has been generated from the sales of Max Kilman and Pedro Neto, it has been widely speculated that Fosun International are preferring to work with a low transfer budget.
Nevertheless, reports have indicated over the past week that a new goalkeeper remains very much on Gary O'Neil's radar with Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale at the top of the club's shortlist.
Exit confirmed: Man City defender completes £21.1m Al-Hilal transfer
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F34%2Fkyle-walker-joao-cancelo.png "Al-Hilal Target Manchester City Duo on August 20, 2024")
Manchester City have announced that Joao Cancelo has completed a permanent move to Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal.
The 30-year-old joined the Citizens from Juventus in the summer of 2019 and won the Premier League title and EFL Cup in each of his first two seasons at the Etihad Stadium.
Cancelo, who was also named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year on two occasions, chipped in with nine goals and 21 assists in 154 appearances for Man City across all competitions.
He was regarded as a key cog in Pep Guardiola's machine, operating in a hybrid full-back role, but after playing 26 times for the Citizens during the 2022-23 campaign, he made a surprise loan switch to Bayern Munich following an alleged fallout with Guardiola.
Red Bull Salzburg 'in advanced talks' to sign Liverpool midfielder
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F35%2Fstefan-bajcetic.jpg "Liverpool's Stefan Bajcetic warms up in April 2024")
Red Bull Salzburg are reportedly in advanced talks with Liverpool to sign Spanish youngster Stefan Bajcetic before the transfer window slams shut on Friday.
Salzburg, who are now managed by former Reds' assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders, also signed teenager Bobby Clark from Anfield this summer in a deal worth around £10m.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are having a very quiet transfer window and are the only side in the Premier League that are yet to make a new signing, despite rumours suggesting the club are close to bringing in Giorgi Mamardashvili.
However, the Reds have seen several depart this summer, including the likes of Fabio Carvalho, Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip, and it seems that they are now set for their latest player exit.
Back to Manchester? Man United 'hold talks' over Chelsea man
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F34%2Fben-chilwell-raheem-sterling.jpeg "Chelsea's Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling on September 13, 2022")
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling.
The 29-year-old has endured a challenging start to the 2024-25 campaign, learning that he is no longer part of the first-team plans at Stamford Bridge.
New head coach Enzo Maresca has publicly stated that Sterling will struggle to get minutes with the Blues this term, as the West Londoners work with a bloated squad.
The former Manchester City winger was stripped of his number seven jersey earlier this month, with the number handed to summer arrival Pedro Neto.
What high-profile summer transfers could still take place before deadline?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F34%2Fraheem-sterling.png "Raheem Sterling offered in Premier League Swap Deal on August 21, 2024")
The 2024-25 season is well and truly underway, and several clubs across the world are still seeking to strengthen their squads in the latter stages of the summer transfer window.
Over £3.5bn has been spent by clubs across Europe's top-five leagues so far this summer, with the Premier League clubs forking out just under half of that (£1.59bn), although spending by English top-flight teams is around £800m down on last summer.
The clock is ticking for the majority of European clubs, who will see their transfer windows shut on Friday, while other leagues such as the Saudi Pro League are open until October 6.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at some of the high-profile deals that could be completed before the summer transfer window slams shut.
High-profile exit: Man City 'agree' to sell defender to Saudi Pro League
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F32%2Fpep-guardiola.jpg "Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola pictured on August 10, 2024")
Manchester City have reportedly agreed a £21.1m deal for the transfer of Joao Cancelo to Al-Hilal on a three-year contract.
The 30-year-old was formerly a major part of Pep Guardiola's plans at the Etihad, helping the Citizens to two Premier League titles in 2021 and 2022.
However, a perceived lack of game time meant that Cancelo grew frustrated in Manchester, with the right-back spending the last 18 months abroad.
For the second half of the 2022-23 campaign, the Portuguese defender moved on a temporary deal to Bayern Munich, winning the Bundesliga with the Bavarian giants.
Forest switch attention to Netherlands international after Gimenez collapse?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fnuno-espirito-santo.jpg "Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo on August 2, 2024")
Nottingham Forest have reportedly switched their attention to another forward plying his trade in the Eredivisie.
With Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi at his disposal down the centre of Forest's attack, head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has two proven options in that area of the pitch.
Forest's numerous playmakers can also operate as false nines, yet speculation has persisted in recent weeks over a third frontline striker arriving at the City Ground.
Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah appears in line to join a different Premier League side, while a bid has been rejected for Brentford's Yoane Wissa.
End of story: Wolves 'dealt major blow' in Ramsdale pursuit
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F23%2F33%2Fgary-oneil_1.jpg "Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O'Neil before the match on August 14, 2023")
Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly walked away from a deal for Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The 26-year-old is seeking an exit from the Emirates this summer in order to feature regularly in club football during the 2024-25 campaign.
Ramsdale has fallen behind David Raya in the shot-stopping pecking order at Arsenal since the Spaniard's arrival from Brentford on loan last summer.
Twelve months later and the former Bee has made the switch to North London permanent for £27m, leaving the Englishman firmly as second choice for Mikel Arteta.
How Man United could line up with £50.7m Ugarte signing
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fmanuel-ugarte.jpg "Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte on May 25, 2024")
Manchester United are reportedly closing in on the signing of midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.
The 23-year-old has been a primary midfield target for the Red Devils throughout the summer, and it is understood that the English giants have now agreed to sign the PSG man for an initial €50m (£42.2m) plus €10m (£8.5m) in potential add-ons.
Ugarte, a 22-cap Uruguay international who is travelling to the UK to undergo a medical, was of interest to Man United during a two-year spell at Sporting Lisbon before he completed a €60m transfer to PSG last summer.
The tenacious, tough-tackling defensive midfielder played 37 times for the Ligue 1 champions in all competitions last season, but he has now been persuaded to become part of the Red Devils project under Erik ten Hag.
Porto confirm loan signing of Arsenal midfielder
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F34%2Ffabgab.jpg "Arsenal's Fabio Vieira and Gabriel Martinelli pictured on July 27, 2024")
Out-of-favour Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira has completed a season-long loan move to Primeira Liga giants Porto.
Vieira, who joined Arsenal from Porto two years ago in a £34m transfer, has largely struggled to make a significant impact during his time at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners have been relatively quiet in the transfer market this summer, with Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino being their only significant signings so far.
The only other piece of business done was making David Raya's deal permanent after the Spaniard spent last season in North London on loan from Brentford.
Done deal: Arsenal confirm long-awaited arrival of Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F27%2Fmikel-merino_1.jpg "Spain's Mikel Merino celebrates scoring their second goal on July 5, 2024")
Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Euro 2024 winner Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad.
After adding Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna and making David Raya's deal permanent, Mikel Arteta turned his attention to signing a new central midfielder with Merino quickly emerging as his top target.
Arsenal's interest in the 28-year-old predates this summer's European Championship, though, with the Spaniard viewed by the club as the ideal player to operate alongside Declan Rice in midfield.
The Gunners had been locked in negotiations with Real Sociedad since the midfielder's return from Euro 2024 and finally reached an agreement with the La Liga club late last week.
Nicolas Jackson replacement? Chelsea 'move' to sign Saudi-linked striker
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F35%2Fivan-toney.png "Chelsea Make Move for Premier League Forward on August 27, 2024")
Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney.
The 28-year-old spent the majority of the summer as part of Gareth Southgate's Three Lions squad in Germany, where England were gunning for continental glory at Euro 2024.
Despite his goalscoring abilities, Toney found himself behind the likes of Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins in the pecking order on the international stage.
Toney endured a troubling 2023-24 term for Brentford, with the former Peterborough United man banned from competitive matches for eight months due to a breach of Football Association's betting rules.
Serie A switch: Man United star 'set' for medical in Italy
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F29%2Fmanncm.jpg "Manchester United's Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire pictured in March 2024")
Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is reportedly set to complete a permanent move to Napoli.
The 27-year-old spent the majority of the summer at Euro 2024 in Germany, where Steve Clarke's Scotland were gunning for continental glory.
Losing their opening match of the tournament 5-1 to hosts Germany, it never appeared likely that the Tartan Army would advance into the knockout stages, and that proved to be the case.
Despite disappointment on the international stage, McTominay still enjoyed a productive individual season during 2023-24, scoring 10 goals across all competitions for Man United.
Champions League to Bournemouth: Chelsea keeper 'on verge' of Cherries loan
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fandoni-iraola.jpg "Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola on August 4, 2024")
Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has reportedly moved closer to a move to Premier League side Bournemouth.
The 29-year-old is still the world's most expensive shot-stopper after switching from Athletic Bilbao to Stamford Bridge for £71.6m in the summer of 2018.
Kepa has enjoyed notable success in West London during his six-year stay so far, winning both the Champions League and Europa League as part of the Chelsea squad.
The Spaniard spent the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Real Madrid, who were looking for goalkeeping reinforcements last summer following the ligament injury of Thibaut Courtois.
Offer rejected: Brentford 'turrn down' Wissa bid from Premier League club
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F35%2Fyoane-wissa.jpg "Brentford's Yoane Wissa celebrates after scoring on August 9, 2024")
Brentford have reportedly rejected a transfer bid from Nottingham Forest for Yoanne Wissa.
Nuno Espirito Santo is keen to bolster their forward options before the summer transfer window slams shut on Friday.
Forest have experienced frustration in the last week, having seen a proposed switch for Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah fall through.
The Reds were then said to be making progress in their efforts to sign Feyenoord's Santiago Gimenez, but the 23-year-old is seemingly ready to turn down a Premier League move in favour of staying with the Dutch giants.
Chelsea receive unexpected boost in effort to sell another academy graduate?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F23%2F16%2Ftodd-boehly.jpg "Chelsea co-owner and chairman Todd Boehly before the match on April 18, 2023")
A Chelsea academy graduate has reportedly been presented with the opportunity to move to the Saudi Pro League.
With four days of the summer transfer window remaining, the Blues hierarchy are scrambling to get as many of the players not in the plans of Enzo Maresca out of the club as possible.
As well as wanting to avoid uninvolved squad members remaining at Stamford Bridge, co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital are keen to substantially reduce their outgoings given the magnitude of their relentless transfer activity.
Their preferred method of generating funds is through the sales of homegrown talent, as recently shown through the exit of Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid.
Bid accepted: Nketiah 'to undergo medical' ahead of £30m Arsenal exit
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F28%2Farsenal.jpg "Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah celebrates with Leandro Trossard after the match in August 2023")
Crystal Palace have reportedly reached an agreement with Arsenal to sign striker Eddie Nketiah on a permanent deal.
The 25-year-old has been the subject of much speculation throughout this summer as he is now deemed surplus to requirements at Arsenal by head coach Mikel Arteta.
Nketiah joined Arsenal's academy in 2015 and has spent his entire career with the Gunners apart from a short-term loan spell at Leeds United during the 2019-20 campaign.
The one-cap England international scored 46 goals in 60 appearances at youth level for Arsenal and has since found the net 38 times in 168 first-team matches across all competitions, winning one FA Cup and two Community Shields with the club.
Back to Serie A: Villa confirm loan exit for summer signing
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Funai-emery.JPG "Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery on August 17, 2024.")
Aston Villa have announced the loan departure of Samuel Iling-Junior to Bologna.
Earlier in the summer transfer window, the West Midlands outfit agreed a deal with Juventus to acquire the services of the wide player.
However, it was not a straightforward transfer to complete, with both clubs needing to find a way to facilitate Douglas Luiz's move to Turin without further weakening their position with the respective financial regulations.
As well as receiving cash, Villa were able to add Iling Junior and Enzo Barrenechea to their ranks ahead of a busy campaign that will feature Champions League football for the first time in their history.
Transfer news and rumours today: Oxlade-Chamberlain to Brentford, Soler to West Ham
![Besiktas' Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pictured in April 2024 [IMAGO]](https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/thumbor/Qavqr4JpQvA4sa2B8PUdiWQyTYc=/640x480/smart/filters:format(webp)/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F26%2Falex-oxlade-chamberlain.jpg "Besiktas' Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pictured in April 2024 [IMAGO]")
Brentford are reportedly interested in signing Besiktas midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer.
The 31-year-old accepted a new challenge in Turkey during the summer window of 2023 after leaving Anfield as a free agent at the conclusion of the 2022-23 campaign.
Since then, Oxlade-Chamberlain has featured in 30 competitive matches for Besiktas, including eight games in last term's Europa Conference League.
Scoring four goals and providing one assist in the Turkish Super Lig, the former England international made a respectable contribution to the European giants.
More investment: Chelsea confirm big-money arrival of latest wonderkid
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F31%2Fmike-penders.jpg "Genk goalkeeper Mike Penders in action in July 2024.")
Chelsea have formally announced the signing of Genk goalkeeper Mike Penders.
With just four days of the summer transfer window remaining, the Blues hierarchy are attempting to finalise their squad for the first half of the 2024-25 campaign.
Outgoings are expected to be a common theme with at least a dozen players training away from Enzo Maresca's senior crop ahead of potentially completing transfers away from Stamford Bridge.
With Victor Osimhen still being heavily linked with a move from Napoli, at least one high-profile incoming could occur, too, yet Chelsea's co-owners have still been prepared to allocate a substantial sum of money to secure the signature of yet another wonderkid.
Debut against Liverpool? Ugarte 'heads to England' for Man United medical
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F34%2Fmanuel-ugarte.jpeg "Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte on March 1, 2024")
Manuel Ugarte will reportedly travel to England on Tuesday to undergo a medical with Manchester United, and the Uruguay international could make his debut for the club in Sunday's Premier League clash with Liverpool.
The 23-year-old has been Man United's leading midfield target throughout the summer, and it is understood that the English giants have now reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain over a transfer.
According to journalist David Ornstein, Ugarte will travel to England on Tuesday to undergo a medical with Erik ten Hag's side ahead of signing a long-term deal at Old Trafford.
Ornstein claims that Man United will pay an initial €50m (£42.2m) for the South American, with a further €10m (£8.4m) potentially arriving in add-ons.
Homegrown hope? Exiled Chelsea player 'may stay' at Stamford Bridge
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F35%2Fenzo-maresca.JPG "Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca on August 25, 2024.")
Chelsea are reportedly open to the possibility of retaining the services of Trevoh Chalobah.
Since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital became owners of the Blues, they have regularly shown a willingness to cash in on the club's homegrown talent.
The likes of Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher have generated close to £100m in pure profit in recent transfer windows to help fund moves for other talent.
Since the middle of last month, it has become clear that they have taken the same stance over fellow academy graduate Chalobah, who was left out of the 28-player squad that was selected for the pre-season tour of the United States.
Leeds United fail with £13m bid for Championship midfielder?
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F23%2F50%2Fdaniel-farke.jpg "Leeds United manager Daniel Farke on December 12, 2023")
Leeds United have reportedly failed with a big-money attempt to sign a playmaker from a Championship rival.
On the back of losing last season's Championship playoff final, Daniel Farke was aware that his club would need to cash in on a number of players to comply with the EFL's financial regulations.
Archie Gray, Glen Kamara, Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter are among the players to have departed Elland Road, that quartet alone generating well in excess of £100m.
Although the likes of Joe Rothwell and Largie Ramazani have been signed as replacements in midfield and the final third respectively, the Yorkshire giants have funds to spend before the end of the summer transfer window.
Stance taken? Sterling 'lays out Chelsea contract demand' ahead of expected exit

Raheem Sterling has reportedly made a decision over what it would take to accept an exit from Chelsea before the end of the summer transfer window.
Prior to the start of the season, the winger appeared to be in the plans of Enzo Maresca and was expected to feature in the squad for the Premier League opener against Manchester City.
However, it has since emerged that Sterling has been informed that he has no future at Stamford Bridge, leading to him being exiled from training with the first-team squad.
Although Sterling initially wanted to fight for his place with the West Londoners, there is now an acceptance that he will need to find a new club in order to ensure that his career is not brought to a halt.
Alvarez and one more? Atletico to swoop for another Man City player?

Atletico Madrid are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes on loan.
The 25-year-old joined the Citizens from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a reported £53m on the final day of last summer's transfer window after one impressive campaign at Molineux.
Nunes made a total of 29 appearances for Man City last season, but he only started 15 times across all competitions, including just seven in the Premier League.
The Portugal international has made two substitute appearances in City's first three competitive fixture of the new season, coming on against Manchester United in the Community Shield and against Ipswich Town in the Premier League last weekend.
Tottenham transfer priority 'revealed' ahead of August 30 deadline

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prioritising the addition of a new midfielder before the summer transfer window closes in England on August 30.
After narrowly missing out on a top-four finish in the Premier League last season, Ange Postecoglou has overseen the arrival of five new signings, while 13 players have departed either on loan or permanently.
Striker Dominic Solanke is the club's record signing at around £65m, while teenage quartet Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert, Lucas Bergvall and Yang Min-Hyeok have also made the permanent switch to North London.
Meanwhile, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Tanguy Ndombele, Eric Dier, Emerson Royal and Oliver Skipp are some of the standout names who have departed, the latter of whom has joined Leicester City for an initial £20m.
Arsenal-linked Coman 'makes decision' over Bayern future

Kingsley Coman has reportedly decided that he wants to leave Bayern Munich this summer amid reported interest from a number of clubs including Arsenal.
The 28-year-old winger has spent the last nine years with the German giants, initially joining on a two-year loan deal from Juventus before making his move to the Allianz Arena permanent in 2017.
Coman has contributed with 64 goals and 66 assists in 296 appearances for Bayern across all competitions and has won a total of 19 trophies, including eight Bundesliga titles.
The France international struggled with injuries during the second half of last season, but he was handed starts in 21 of his 27 outings under former boss Thomas Tuchel.
