West Ham United, Celtic and Arne Engels
Saturday

West Ham have officially signed Belgium midfielder Arne Engels from Celtic for £22m, setting a new transfer record for an EFL Championship club. The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract after winning consecutive Scottish Premiership titles with Celtic.

The fee surpasses Ipswich’s previous £17.5m Championship record and signals West Ham’s determination to return immediately to the Premier League. Engels arrives after contributing 17 goals and 22 assists across 100 Celtic appearances and becomes their fourth summer signing.

Sunderland, Toulouse and Dayann Methalie
Saturday

Sunderland have agreed a £25.6m package with Toulouse for 20-year-old French left-back Dayann Methalie. The verbal agreement includes £23.9m guaranteed and another £1.7m in potential add-ons, with the defender now expected to undergo a medical.

The deal would give Sunderland major defensive reinforcement before their Premier League opener and first European campaign in 53 years. Methalie made 28 Ligue 1 appearances last season and arrives as Regis Le Bris adds depth to a thin summer squad.

Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Djed Spence
Saturday

Inter Milan have officially signed England full-back Djed Spence from Tottenham for around €30m. The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Serie A champions after featuring in all eight of England’s matches at the 2026 World Cup.

Spence becomes Inter’s second England signing of the summer after John Stones and replaces the departed Denzel Dumfries on the right. Tottenham sell a player who made 85 appearances and helped them win the 2025 Europa League.

Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Ferran Torres
Saturday

Paris Saint-Germain have officially signed Spain forward Ferran Torres from Barcelona for a reported package of around €50m. The 26-year-old has agreed a contract through 2031 after previously informing Barcelona that he wanted to join the European champions.

The completed transfer converts the earlier agreement in principle into a permanent move. Torres joins Luis Enrique after scoring 21 goals for Barcelona last season and the extra-time winner in Spain’s World Cup final victory over Argentina.

Paris Saint-Germain, Parma and Zion Suzuki
Saturday

Paris Saint-Germain’s proposed €35m move for Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki has collapsed despite the clubs and player previously reaching agreements. PSG reportedly ended negotiations after Suzuki’s representatives introduced additional financial demands concerning commissions during the final stages of the deal.

Suzuki had already been booked to travel to Paris for a medical before negotiations broke down. PSG considered the new demands excessive and abandoned the transfer, leaving Matvey Safonov and Lucas Chevalier as their existing senior goalkeeping options.

Franck Kessie, Juventus and Al-Ahli
Saturday

Franck Kessie is closing in on an agreement to join Juventus after rejecting attempts from Al-Ahli to bring him back to Saudi Arabia. The free-agent midfielder is reportedly waiting on a three-year contract worth about €4.5m annually plus a signing bonus.

Juventus first need to create midfield space before registering the Ivory Coast international, with several existing players available to leave. Kessie can sign after the transfer deadline because he is unattached, reducing time pressure while Juventus restructure their squad.
