Transfer news LIVE as Man Utd spend £300m and Chelsea to bid £26m

Manchester United’s squad for the 2023-24 season finally appears to be taking shape with Erik ten Hag landing signings in key positions. The Red Devils are reportedly set to sign Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana, which will follow a £60million deal for playmaker Mason Mount .  A new striker could yet arrive at Old Trafford, although United may need to trim their squad before a proper pursuit can be made. Ten Hag will expect a rejuvenated squad to challenge for the Premier League title after slipping away midway through last season.  But United will have strong competition from a few new-look rivals hoping to finally topple Manchester City’s dominance. Arsenal are completing a mini-overhaul of Mikel Arteta’s squad, with Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber expected to join Kai Havertz in joining the Gunners this week.  Liverpool and Chelsea are also making vast improvements and are both expected to be back among the contenders for trophies next season. Tottenham , Newcastle and Aston Villa will hope to qualify for European competition again, and are making adjustments to the respective squads.  Follow Express Sport’s LIVE transfer updates Man Utd are closing in on the signing of Andre Onana (Image: Getty) 21 mins ago 07:55 Sam Smith Bayern Munich do not want to be dragged into a lengthy saga over Harry Kane.  Tottenham rejected a fresh £70m bid from the Bundesliga champions on Monday, with Daniel Levy demanding £120m.  According to the Daily Mail, Bayern are now waiting to see if Kane will join them on a free transfer in 12 months’ time.  The England captain has a year remaining on his contract and could see that out before exploring his options after Euro 2024.  Harry Kane is the subject of Bayern Munich transfer bids (Image: Getty) 26 mins ago 07:50 Sam Smith Chelsea are supposedly weighing up a bid for £26m-rated Elye Wahi.  According to L’Equipe , the Montpellier ace is attracting interest from the Blues after scoring 19 goals in a sensational breakthrough season in Ligue 1.  The Evening Standard adds that the talented Wahi, 20, is on a two-man striker shortlist drawn up by Mauricio Pochettino and the Chelsea transfer hierarchy.  The other man is Juventus’s Dusan Vlahovic.  36 mins ago 07:40 Sam Smith Erik ten Hag is set to take his Man Utd spending above £300m with the addition of Andre Onana.
