FootballTransfers has been told that Arsenal are seriously considering whether or not to make a move for Kylian Mbappe when his contract expires next year.

Exclusive: Man Utd want another midfielder

We were also able to reveal that one high-profile midfielder isn't enough for Manchester United, Erik ten Hag wants to bring in another one if possible.

Chelsea sign Jackson

Chelsea have announced the signing of Nicolas Jackson for just €35 million in what could ring in a new era of shrewdness at Stamford Bridge.

It is the latest chapter in a wild summer that has now seen two more players depart the Blues.

And there could be another, especially painful departure unless Mauricio Pochettino manages to convince the player to stay in a personal meeting.

On the incoming front, Chelsea will bid again for Moises Caicedo.

Liverpool moved quickly to trigger Dominik Szoboszlai's €70 million Leipzig release clause before its expiration and they will sign the Hungarian superstar in the coming days.

Here is how they will line up with the 22-year-old.
