The summer transfer window is now open, with clubs across Europe making moves to strengthen their squads ahead of the upcoming season. The window will remain open until September 1.
Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is reportedly a target for Cesc Fabregas's club Como, who have expressed firm interest. Chalobah, who was a late call-up to an England squad, could be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge as Chelsea seeks to bolster their center-back options. Inter Milan and other Premier League clubs are also reportedly interested in the defender. Wesley Fofana's future at Chelsea also remains a subject of speculation.
In other defensive news, Xabi Alonso played a role in convincing Marco Palestra to join Chelsea over Inter Milan, with the financial package also being a significant factor. Atalanta, Palestra's current club, reportedly desired a sell-on clause due to their belief in his potential for a future move to a larger club. Malo Gusto has been linked with Manchester City, though no contact has been made.
Tottenham Hotspur has secured the signing of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who joins after his contract with Burnley expired. The 37-year-old reportedly turned down offers from Wolves and Saudi Arabia to remain in the Premier League. Dubravka expressed excitement about the new journey and acknowledged Roberto De Zerbi's known style of play. Tottenham anticipates selling Guglielmo Vicario back to Italy, with Antonin Kinsky expected to be the primary goalkeeper next season under De Zerbi. Spurs are also in discussions regarding Mateus Fernandes of West Ham and have scouted Crysencio Summerville as they plan to sign two wingers. Manor Solomon is expected to depart, and Randal Kolo Muani has returned to Paris Saint-Germain, with Juventus showing interest but potentially facing financial hurdles.
Leeds United has won the race to sign Harry Wilson on a free transfer. The Welsh forward is set to leave Fulham upon the expiration of his contract. Aston Villa, Benfica, and Everton were also reportedly interested in the 29-year-old, whose move to Leeds fell through on transfer deadline day last summer. Leeds is also exploring a deal for Julian Brandt, who is leaving Borussia Dortmund as a free agent, and has had an initial offer for Southampton midfielder Shea Charles rejected.
Newly promoted clubs are also showing interest in young talent, with Hull City, Coventry City, and Ipswich Town reportedly targeting Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek. Despite United's preference to retain the highly-rated young shot-stopper, his contract situation and desire for regular playing time complicate his future.
Elsewhere, Scotland centre-back Jack Hendry has signed a new two-year contract with Al Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League. Hull City, Wolves, and Burnley had previously shown interest in the defender, but they could not match the financial terms offered by the Saudi club.
