Bryan Mbeumo is a man in demand, with Newcastle, Man Utd and Arsenal all fighting for his signature. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.

Wirtz is the most high-profile situation in the market right now; Liverpool’s proposal was worth up to a club-record €130million (£109m; $148.5m) — comprised of a guaranteed fee plus potential add-ons — and may yet increase. A long-term target for Liverpool, Wirtz is their first choice and the only player they have made a bid for in his position.

Arsenal are prepared to join Manchester United and several other Premier League clubs in the competitive race to sign one of the division’s top scorers.
