Transfer window update

Express Sport tracks the latest summer transfer news as the window enters its final weeks.

Man United close to Sesko signing and Liverpool pursue new target

Manchester United are closing in on Benjamin Sesko and could add a central midfielder before the transfer deadline. Chelsea have sold a large group of fringe players and are set to reignite their spending, reportedly targeting Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons. Liverpool remain in the mix as they seek to complete a blockbuster window, while Arsenal shift to selling, Tottenham look for a No 10, and Newcastle hope to rebound from a run of crushing blows.

This window tests how far clubs are willing to push before the deadline. A mix of youth prospects and quick-impact signings shows a shift toward speed and depth rather than long contracts. The coming weeks will reveal whether teams prioritise immediate fixes or longer-term balance across squads.

The big question is whether the signings will translate into on-pitch gains or simply refresh the squad without changing the season’s trajectory. Success will depend on timing, adaptation, and the ability to avoid overpaying for players who may not fit a team’s style.

Highlights

The window still has weeks to deliver the defining moves for these clubs.
