Transfer news LIVE! Chelsea offer Kounde contract; Arsenal want Arthur; Spurs make Maddison contact; gossip

Transfer news – LIVE!

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham continue to prove major players in this summer’s transfer window. All three have lofty ambitions heading into the new season, with Thomas Tuchel now spending the money co-owner Todd Boehly has to burn. A deal for Jules Kounde is reportedly close, giving Chelsea their third summer signing.

Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, has a new player in the form of Oleksandr Zinchenko but could yet add Juventus star Arthur Melo to his squad. Linked with a move during January, the Brazilian international has once again emerged as a leading target.

Over at Tottenham, six signings could soon be seven. Indeed, James Maddison is now thought to be a target, with contact reportedly made in regards to a move for the Leicester City star. Despite his attacking options, Antonio Conte is understood to want a creative player and the England hopeful could be the man for the job.
