Transfer news LIVE! Arsenal ‘sign’ Havertz, Rice bid; Jackson to Chelsea; Man
The transfer window is now open and Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all busy on deals. The Gunners have seen an opening bid for Declan Rice rejected, and are now preparing a huge second bid, and have reportedly also seen a first offer for Kai Havertz turned down by rivals Chelsea in a busy start to the summer.
The Blues, meanwhile, have agreed personal terms with Villarreal forward Nicolas Jackson and are also working on signing a new midfielder.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to bring in Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana, though Manchester United are also eyeing the 27-year-old.
Over at Tottenham, James Maddison and Harvey Barnes have reportedly been the subject of a double bid following Leicester’s relegation, while Dejan Kulusevski is finally set to join permanently for around £25m. United have given up on bringing Harry Kane to Old Trafford, and will instead turn their focus to Victor Osimhen, Goncalo Ramos and Rasmus Hojlund.
