West Ham are close to winning the race to sign Carlos Borges from Manchester City. They have offered £14m for the 19-year-old winger, who has also been targeted by Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt, and the deal could be completed soon.
Borges joined City from Sporting in 2014 and has impressed at youth level. He has represented Portugal Under-19s and is noted for his pace and trickery. City will include a buyback clause and moving to West Ham could give Borges a better chance of playing regularly in the Premier League.
West Ham are keen to freshen up their squad after selling Declan Rice to Arsenal for £105m and have hired Tim Steidten as their technical director. David Moyes has been looking for two central midfielders, a centre-back and a left winger. West Ham could also move for the Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen if they sell Aaron Cresswell to Wolves.
Arnaut Danjuma is set to join Everton on a season’s loan from Villarreal, seven months after a late U-turn on a deal to sign at Goodison Park. Danjuma underwent a medical and completed in-house media interviews at Everton in January before turning his back on the deal to sign for Tottenham.
The 26-year-old made nine Premier League appearances for Spurs, scoring once before returning to his parent club. Bournemouth, from whom he joined Villarreal in 2021, retained an interest in the winger and Nottingham Forest were also thought to be keen but Everton are set to land the Dutchman at the second time of trying.
Bournemouth have completed the signing of the 19-year-old defender Milos Kerkez from AZ. He is their third summer signing after the arrivals of Justin Kluivert and Romain Faivre from Roma and Lyon respectively.
