Transfer news LIVE: Bryan Mbeumo to Man Utd latest as £55m agreement struck

Chelsea took one step closer to Club World Cup glory this week, and their prize money could aid their spending spree even further. They have signed Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens already this summer, and other acquisitions are in the pipeline.

Manchester City and Liverpool have similarly splashed the cash ahead of pre-season, whilst Arsenal and north London rivals Tottenham have opted to bide their time in their pursuits of their top targets - Viktor Gyokeres and Mohammed Kudus.
