Aston Villa are reportedly closing in on the signing of Atletico Madrid defender Matteo Ruggeri.

The clubs have agreed a fee in the region of £17m for the 24-year-old Italian, who is set to move to Villa Park.

Ruggeri is expected to be a direct replacement for Lucas Digne, who joined PSG earlier in the transfer window.

That will also free up space for Atletico to sign Tottenham captain Cristian Romero.

Manchester United may consider a bid for Antonee Robinson this month, reports claim.

Michael Carrick is on the lookout for a new left-back before the transfer window closes on September 1 as he seeks a long-term successor to the 31-year-old Luke Shaw, who is into the final 12 months of his contract at Old Trafford.

United had been keen on Newcastle’s Lewis Hall and Myles Lewis-Skelly at Arsenal, though neither of those deals look possible in this window.

talkSPORT claims that could lead the Red Devils to move for Fulham’s Robinson, who impressed at the World Cup with the USA.

Tottenham have reportedly denied any approach from Arsenal over Cristian Romero.

It was surprisingly reported last night that the Gunners had lodged a shock enquiry with their north London rivals over the wantaway Argentina centre-back.

However, it was said that Spurs had absolutely no intention of selling captain Romero to their biggest foes amid talks with the likes of Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.

Ben Jacobs now says that Spurs deny any contact with Arsenal over Romero, with any discussions so far having been held internally by the Gunners.

Arsenal are once again being linked with a move for Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz.

The Gunners were previously reported to be interested in the Turkey international, although Juventus have made it clear they do not want to sell the 21-year-old.

Arsenal are now exploring alternative wide options after missing out on Vinicius Jr, with talk of a renewed approach for Yildiz growing on social media.

Crystal Palace are set to clinch the signing of Zavier Gozo.

The Eagles have been working hard to wrap up a deal for the American teenage winger, who currently plays in Major League Soccer (MLS) with Real Salt Lake.

According to The Telegraph, Gozo has now been given permission to travel to the UK to undergo a medical with Palace, who have seen off rival interest from clubs in the EFL and across Europe to land the United States youth international.

Endrick could be set for a move to the Premier League after falling further down the pecking order at Real Madrid.

According to reports in Spain, Roc Nation, who represent the Brazilian forward, are working on a potential Premier League transfer.

The 19-year-old has slipped further down Madrid’s attacking options following the arrivals of Yan Diomande and Carlos Espi, increasing speculation over his future.

Manchester United have made it clear that Benjamin Sesko is not for sale despite interest from Tottenham.

According to TEAMtalk, Spurs, Bayern Munich and Barcelona have all made enquiries about the 23-year-old, but United have no intention of entertaining offers for their striker.

Liverpool are not currently working on a deal to sign Tottenham full-back Djed Spence.

According to talkSPORT, despite links with the defender and Liverpool’s injury concerns at right-back, the Reds are not pursuing a move for the 25-year-old.

Spence remains available this summer and has reportedly been offered to several Premier League and Serie A clubs for around £35m.

“I would say I can pass the ball, run a lot and play like a warrior, I’ll never give up.

“I will try to help the team, good with the ball, composed, very calm, and sometimes I can score some goals and hope to make everyone very, very happy here.

“[Declan] Rice sent me a message: ‘Come here and please no more fights, now we’re friends.’ I was happy he messaged me, but the midfield we have here, in my point of view, is one of the best in Europe.

“Everyone is an amazing player, I'm so excited to start chatting and play, and know the players very, very well, but we have an amazing midfield.”

“I feel good, I feel amazing. I'm glad for the opportunity. Since the first time I spoke to [Andrea] Berta and Mikel [Arteta], I was excited.

“I just felt inside of me that I need a new challenge in my life and I think to be an Arsenal player is going to be an exciting challenge in my life.

“After playing two World Cups, I think I’m at the point of my life, I think I need a challenge like this. I want to win trophies, I want to make history and I think I'm in the right place to do it.

“I'm so excited to start. We have tough games to play this season, so the squad is going to be very, very important and I’m hopeful we can achieve our dreams.”
