Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing AS Monaco and USMNT striker Folarin Balogun, Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen and Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson before the Premier League season starts. The 25‑year‑old former Arsenal striker is seen as a prime option for Spurs, though contact with the Ligue 1 club is still pending. Osimhen, 27, is on the radar despite an €80 million valuation, while Jackson could be available on loan.

Liverpool have stepped up their pursuit of Paris Saint‑Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye, with offers around €50 million and the PSG willing to sell him this summer. Mbaye commenter may favour a switch to Anfield, but it could affect a potential €120 million deal for teammate Bradley Barcola.

Other clubs are chasing players too: Newcastle United are after Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha; Nottingham Forest are keen on City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders; and Chelsea are open to parting with defender Tosin Adarabioyo amid interest from Como.

The transfer window is heating up, with clubs juggling budgets and squad needs across the league.
