As the summer transfer window approaches its 23:00 BST deadline on Tuesday, several Premier League clubs are racing against time to finalize significant deals. With the window having been open since 15 June, high-profile players like Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, Cody Gakpo, and Ismaila Sarr are still in play.

Julian Alvarez's potential move to Arsenal stands out, as the Atletico Madrid striker is eager to leave but is caught in a tug-of-war with his club, which refuses to sell him to Barcelona. Instead, Atletico is open to a deal with Arsenal, seeking a hefty €150m (£128m) fee. Alvarez's absence from training and a recent match against Sevilla raises questions about his commitment and future.

Enzo Fernandez is another player in limbo, having missed Chelsea's recent victory over Brighton. Linked to Manchester City, any move would likely set a club record, surpassing the £116m paid for Elliot Anderson earlier this summer. His potential departure could pave the way for Lamine Camara from Monaco to join Chelsea, marking their 13th signing this window.

In other developments, Cody Gakpo is in discussions with Manchester City, with Liverpool needing to secure another attacking player before allowing his exit. Notably, Ismaila Sarr from Crystal Palace remains on Liverpool's radar as they seek alternatives.

Tottenham is also in advanced negotiations to acquire Iliman Ndiaye from Everton, while Richarlison could move the other way. Meanwhile, Manchester United appears focused on smaller deals, with Joshua Zirkzee drawing interest from Fiorentina. Zirkzee's potential exit could facilitate further signings, although options may initially be limited to loans.
