Overview
- Tottenham have had two proposals for Mohammed Kudus turned down and are readying an improved offer ahead of Thursday’s £85 million Premier League release clause deadline
- Sources say Kudus has told intermediaries he wants to join Tottenham and is not speaking to other clubs, putting pressure on West Ham to negotiate
- Manchester United have seen two bids for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo rejected and intend to launch a third offer to meet Brentford’s valuation
- United must decide by July 15 whether to trigger Moise Kean’s £44.8 million clause or risk losing that price, and are lining up free-agent strikers like Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jamie Vardy and Callum Wilson as contingencies
- Newcastle United have confirmed Anthony Elanga’s £55 million move from Nottingham Forest as their first signing of the summer
