Chelsea and Arsenal are locked in a battle for Eli Junior Kroupi, the 19-year-old Bournemouth forward who remains unwilling to leave. Fulham and Everton are tracking Wales midfielder Harry Wilson, who can leave on a free transfer in June. Manchester United are confident of securing a double swoop for Atalanta's Sandro Tonali and Barcelona's Ederson, both 26-year-olds operating in midfield positions.

The Red Devils are also considering Lewis Hall as a left-back replacement, while Brighton negotiate a £11m deal for Porto's Costinha. Arsenal are keeping tabs on City's Tijjani Reijnders after limited playing time, and Newcastle could target Matias Fernandez-Pardo if Anthony Gordon departs. Everton remain favourites to sign Liam Delap from Chelsea, with the 23-year-old striker edging closer to Goodison Park.

Tonali and Ederson represent United's priority midfield rebuild, addressing holes left by departing players. With Aston Villa wielding a £100m budget post-Europa League win, Wilson becomes a realistic target. The window closes with Inter Milan eyeing Kepa, while Timber signs a new Arsenal deal. These moves reshape multiple squads ahead of next season.
