Premier League clubs chase multiple midfielders, forwards and goalkeepers in busy transfer window

Nottingham Forest, Tottenham, Chelsea and other clubs are linked with a host of players including Tijjani Reijnders, Folarin Balogun and Vinicius Jr as the summer market heats up.

A flurry of transfer speculation links several Premier League sides with high-profile players this summer. Nottingham Forest are reportedly targeting Manchester City’s Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, valuing him at around £55 million. Tottenham Hotspur have opened discussions with Manchester City about 22-year-old Brazilian winger Savinho and are also monitoring Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson, whose price tag is estimated at £65 million.

Real Madrid intend to resume talks with Brazil winger Vinicius Jr but are not prepared to raise their latest offer. Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Spanish left-back Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano and are also interested in Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa, who carries a €60 million release clause. Further interest includes Manchester City’s bid for Marseille goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli, Tottenham’s pursuit of Arsenal-linked striker Folarin Balogun, and a possible move for Liverpool and Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo. Other names circulating are Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Jean-Matteo Bahoya, Porto goalkeeper Pedro Neto, and Southampton winger Manor Solomon, who is being chased by newly promoted Hull City and relegated West Ham.

Why it matters
