Liverpool appears to be in pole position to sign Mexican wonderkid Gilberto Mora, a 17-year-old midfielder currently with Club Tijuana. Reports suggest Liverpool has made contact and is stepping up its interest, potentially ahead of Manchester United, who are reportedly prioritizing other targets. Real Madrid and Barcelona also hold admiration for Mora, who can't move to Europe until his 18th birthday later this year.

Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly preparing an £85 million bid for AFC Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi. The 20-year-old winger scored 13 Premier League goals last season, making him a primary target for Spurs as they continue their summer spending. Bournemouth aims to keep the player, but Tottenham seems intent on testing their resolve.

Elsewhere, Paris Saint-Germain has reached an agreement on personal terms with Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche for a potential €50 million move. Newcastle United is nearing a deal for Ajax midfielder Sean Steur, with the package potentially exceeding €25 million. Arsenal is reportedly targeting multiple positions and may see winger Leandro Trossard depart for Besiktas.
