The summer transfer window is in full swing and Saturday 13 July was a typically busy day in the market.

Chelsea Transfer News

Chelsea are set to send Lesley Ugochukwu out on loan for the 2024-25 campaign following an injury-hit debut season in England.

Chelsea have turned down an offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad for Kepa Arrizabalaga, with the Spaniard still thought to be holding out for a return to Real Madrid.

Chelsea are still hoping to sell Romelu Lukaku but their efforts could take a setback thanks to one of their former players, who is also set to be on the move this summer.

Man Utd Transfer News

Ivan Toney wants to join Man Utd this summer, while the Red Devils are eager to sign the England international, despite the imminent arrival of Joshua Zirkzee.

With Amadou Onana on the verge of leaving Everton, the Toffees have no requirement to sell Jarrad Branthwaite, meaning a move to Man Utd is now unlikely.

Arsenal Transfer News

Riccardo Calafiori only wants to join Arsenal and an agreement is expected to be reached soon.

Arsenal are set to miss out on long-term transfer target Amadou Onana, with the Belgian set to join Aston Villa instead.
