With under two weeks to go until the summer transfer window opens, Premier League clubs are working around the clock to finalise their plans ahead of what promises to be a sensational few months of drama.

Chelsea have kickstarted their window in good style by hijacking Newcastle’s move for Tosin Adarabioyo, with the free agent set to become the first signing of Enzo Maresca’s tenure. Manchester United were also interested in the centre-back and Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be forced to turn his attention to alternative options, with Lenny Yoro and Ousmane Diomane among those linked with a move to Old Trafford.

Liverpool and Arsenal are also in the market for defensive reinforcements, with both clubs respectively believing that bolstering their backline options will help them close the gap on last season’s champions Manchester City.
