Transfer news live: Arsenal given Gyokeres warning, agree Madueke and Chelsea target Donnarumma
The summer transfer window rolls on as Premier League clubs and those around Europe look to add to their squads.
Arsenal's negotiations for Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres have stalled over a difference in overall value and terms. However, Gyokeres appears to be taking action over the impasse, with the Sweden striker having refused to show up to Sporting training, which has led to the Gunners being given a stark warning, while they have also been busy in agreeing a deal for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke.
Tottenham have been busy and have aggressively backed new manager Thomas Frank with a deal for West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, but despite triggering the release clause for Morgan Gibbs-White, Nottingham Forest are now considering legal action over what they believe to be an illegal approach.
Manchester United secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m early in this window but a subsequent deal for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo has been slow to develop, while the likes of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho remain at the club despite pushing for a fresh start this summer.

Bukayo Saka’s back-up or Gabriel Martinelli’s replacement? How Noni Madueke will fit in at Arsenal
14:35 , Luke Baker
Chelsea winger Noni Madueke is on the verge of joining Arsenal in a deal worth around £50m.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has given the green light to the deal for the 23-year-old, who has impressed in spells at Stamford Bridge.
Madueke regularly featured on the right wing for the Blues but, along with many other members of the squad, found continuity hard to come by, and he will leave with many fans thinking he never got the time to really show what he could do in west London.
Here, The Independent looks at how Madueke might fit into the Arsenal team, and whether we can expect the youngster to be a starting player right away.

Mohammed Kudus’s Tottenham transfer is the end result of West Ham’s spending disasters
14:23 , Luke Baker
There are times when West Ham fans may catch the sight of one of their finest former players in action for capital rivals and hear a chant about getting him half price. It involves an element of exaggeration: Declan Rice commanded a British record fee of £105m and even a brace of superlative free kicks against Real Madrid do not make him worth £210m.
And yet there could be a sequel of sorts, Hammers supporters casting more envious glances at another favourite found elsewhere in London. And if, as seems likely, Mohammed Kudus joins Tottenham for £55m, there may be greater reasons to think West Ham have sold him on the cheap. Certainly in the context of the Ghanaian’s talent and his outstanding, 14-goal debut campaign in England, if not the underwhelming, five-goal sophomore season.
But the fee is £30m below Kudus’ release clause and there have been moments, with an ability to spin or glide away from defenders, to finish clinically or spectacularly, when that £85m has looked a realistic valuation.

Eintracht Frankfurt are making a major push to keep Hugo Ekitike.
The Germans want to attack the Champions League and see the French forward as a vital part of that bid.
But Sky Sport Germany reports the Bundesliga club expects many offers to arrive soon for the former PSG star.
Liverpool is “a concrete option,’ while Newcastle and Manchester United remain keen.
Chelsea’s interest has cooled after signing João Pedro, with Ekitike likely to cost €100m.
Chelsea set Nicolas Jackson price tag amid Serie A interest
13:56 , Luke Baker
Chelsea have set an huge £100m price tag for Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson.
The Mail reports that the 24-year-old could be sold this summer, with AC Milan keen.
But the Blues value Jackson highly for his output, with 24 goals in 65 Premier League games, work rate and versatility to play in a number of different styles.
But with Liam Delap and Joao Pedro providing competition for places, Jackson could be sold at the right price.
