Manchester City are poised to make a late move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez in what would be the biggest Premier League transfer of the summer, according to reports. The Telegraph and Daily Mail suggest City are expected to revisit their interest in the Argentine international, while Chelsea are also preparing to return to Bournemouth for Alex Scott. The Independent notes that Fernandez is moving closer to a potential exit from Stamford Bridge.

Elsewhere, Aston Villa have indicated a willingness to offer Chelsea a £65m package for striker Nicolas Jackson, with the future of Ollie Watkins in doubt. Al Hilal could offer Watkins an annual salary of £12m if a deal with Villa materialises in the final week of the summer window. Villa's bid for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta fell short of Palace's valuation.

In broader Premier League news, Tottenham Hotspur are close to pushing their summer spending towards £400m by clinching the signing of Omar Marmoush from Manchester City. Newcastle have launched a £35m bid for Lille winger Matias Fernandez-Pardo, while Brentford are closing in on a deal for West Ham left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf. Newcastle United have also appointed former defender Paul Dummett to their revamped loans department.
