On the move: John Stones, Morgan Rogers, Julian AlvarezGetty / London StandardWith the World Cup now a thing of the past, full focus is on transfer business and Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United are all stepping up the pursuit of respective targets.

Man United, meanwhile, remain active in the midfield market after adding Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos, with contact made over Sander Berge. They are also now dealing with the fallout of Radek Vitek’s transfer request, issued after a pre-season friendly at the weekend. Chelsea have been told how much it will cost to sign Maxence Lacroix as they consider a loan move for Mamadou Sarr.Tottenham have already spent over £200million this summer - more than any other club in the top flight - and remain interested in further reinforcements, though they have rejected an offer from Newcastle for Lucas Bergvall and are now weighing up Djed Spence’s exit. Liverpool have tied down Dominik Szoboszlai to a new contract but are targeting a forward signing, or two, amid links to Bradley Barcola.
