The summer transfer window is shaping up to be a wild ride! With the Premier League's top clubs scrambling to bolster their squads, all eyes are on the big-name deals that could swing the balance of power. And what a day it has been – Manchester United and Liverpool have both gone knocking on Wolverhampton Wanderers' door, eager to snap up Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes, 25. This talented young player had already caught Atletico Madrid's attention, but their pursuit fell apart at the final hurdle, leaving English clubs to pounce.
London's transfer scene is just as hot – Chelsea are in talks with Bologna over the signing of English winger Jonathan Rowe, 23, while reports suggest that Argentina's Alejandro Garnacho, 22, is on his way out of Stamford Bridge. The Blues' attacking options are about to get a serious boost as they look to take on the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool this season.
And in an eyebrow-raising move, Sporting Kansas City is reportedly chasing former Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, 34 – yes, you read that right! With one year left on his free transfer deal from Liverpool, Salah could be about to embark on a whole new chapter in his illustrious career. But would he really trade the bright lights of European football for life in MLS?
Further down the leagues, West Ham and Coventry City are keeping tabs on Bodo/Glimt's Patrick Berg, 24 – the Norwegian international's World Cup performances have certainly caught their attention! Meanwhile, Everton is keen to snap up Newcastle United's Jacob Murphy, 31, who's out of contract in just one year. Could this be a savvy move for the Toffees?
But there's more – Sunderland and Fulham are both eyeing Roma's Matias Soule, 23, while Fulham has already sealed a deal to sign Celtic's teenage sensation Erskine Rennie, 16, in a £100,000 compensation package. And down at the City Ground, Nottingham Forest is trying its luck with Fiorentina over Brazilian right-back Dodo, 27 – it looks like they're ready to take their squad to the next level.
