West Ham United have made a bid to land the signature of Nikola Milenkovic from Fiorentina, Gianluca di Marzio reports.

The east London outfit thereafter looked at the possibility of signing Wesley Fofana from Saint-Etienne, but they have missed out on his services to Leicester City. The club are still on the search for a new player to bolster the heart of their backline and it is now reported that they have made a formal bid for Milenkovic. David Moyes’ have placed a&nbs...

Report confirms massive Manchester United bid for 20-goal star
Manchester United have had a bid rejected for the Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. According to Sky Sports, the offer was worth around £73 million, rising up to £91.3 million with add ons. Apparently, the German club value the player at £108 million and they’re not willing to lower their asking price.

Report confirms approach from Leeds and Arsenal for talented young midfielder
Leeds have been linked with a move for the Real Madrid youngster Cesar Gelabert. According to reports (h/t Sportwitness), Leeds and Arsenal have made efforts to sign the player but those approaches have been rebuffed. Real Madrid are not keen on selling the youngster this summer.

It will be interesting to see if they are willing to loan the player out in the coming seasons. Gelabert needs to play regularly in order to continue his development and he is unlikely to get that opportunity at Real Madrid because of the number of established internationals at Zidane’s disposal. A move to Leeds or Arsenal could be beneficial for the player’s career...

Manchester United are working to finalise a move for Alex Telles before the window closes. According to Mohamed Bouhafsi, the Old Trafford outfit have now submitted a second bid for the 27-year-old left back. It will be interesting to see if Porto are willing to accept the offer.

He could make an instant impact for Manchester United. Bouhafsi claims that Telles has agreed to join Manchester United and the two clubs are discussing the fee now.

Report confirms €25m Tottenham bid for highly rated South American
Tottenham are looking to sign a defender before the window closes and they have been linked with the likes of Skriniar and Rudiger recently. It appears that the Londoners are exploring other options as well. According to reports (h/t Sportwitness), they have submitted a bid for the Roma defender Roger Ibanez but the offer has been turned down. The 21-year-old joined Roma on an 18-month loan deal from Atalanta.
