Al-Hilal, West Ham and Crysencio Summerville
Tuesday

Al-Hilal have agreed a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from West Ham. The Dutch winger has clearance for a medical after West Ham accepted an initial £55m fee with a further £5m in add-ons.

The move would give relegated West Ham another major sale after Mateus Fernandes joined Tottenham. Summerville had also attracted Aston Villa interest, but Al-Hilal are now expected to complete the Riyadh move.

Bournemouth, Chelsea and Alex Scott
Tuesday

Bournemouth have rejected a £64m bid from Chelsea for midfielder Alex Scott. The Cherries told Chelsea they do not welcome further approaches, even though Scott has rejected a new contract with two years left.

Bournemouth are under no pressure to sell after Europa League qualification and major income from previous player sales. Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City have also shown interest in Scott during a busy Premier League midfield market.

Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Abdul Fatawu
Tuesday

Ipswich Town have completed the £20m signing of Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu from Leicester City. The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract as Gary O’Neil prepares for Premier League football.

Fatawu scored 16 goals in 100 Leicester games after joining from Sporting in 2023. His arrival could allow Ipswich winger Jaden Philogene to leave, with Bologna, Roma and Benfica among interested clubs.

Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Karim Adeyemi
Tuesday

Barcelona are reportedly close to announcing Karim Adeyemi after reaching an agreement with Borussia Dortmund this week. The German winger has completed his medical, with the deal said to be worth €22m plus €7m in add-ons.

The announcement has been delayed while Barcelona organise the player’s presentation and club agenda after the World Cup final. Adeyemi would become Hansi Flick’s second summer signing after Anthony Gordon before their pre-season schedule intensifies.

Aston Villa Women and Akane Okuma
Tuesday

Aston Villa have signed Japan goalkeeper Akane Okuma from INAC Kobe Leonessa, subject to visa approval. The 21-year-old represented Japan at youth level and was part of the senior squad that won the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup.

Villa described Okuma as an exciting young talent and another example of the club scouting wider international markets. She joins a side that finished ninth last season before the WSL expands to 14 teams next campaign.

Aston Villa, Chelsea and Alejandro Garnacho
Tuesday

Aston Villa have reportedly held talks over a move for Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho after agreeing to sell Morgan Rogers for £117m this summer. Unai Emery wants a direct, pacey attacker despite Johan Manzambi already arriving.

Chelsea value Garnacho at around £50m and are planning to sell him as part of a major squad trim. Villa now have funds from the Rogers sale but must balance attacking needs with financial and squad priorities.

Arsenal, Newcastle United and Bruno Guimaraes
Tuesday

Arsenal have reportedly opened direct talks with Newcastle over Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes this summer. The player is said to want a move to the Premier League champions, while Arsenal are prepared to offer around £60m.

Newcastle are expected to demand more after previously insisting Guimaraes was not for sale. Arsenal’s push follows their failure to land Morgan Rogers, who joined Chelsea in a British-record £117m deal after Villa accepted.
