The summer transfer window, open until September 1, is generating significant activity as clubs prepare for the upcoming season. Manchester United has expressed interest in signing 18-year-old Leicester City midfielder Louis Page. Page, who has made 21 appearances for the Foxes and was named EFL Apprentice of the Year, is also reportedly on the radars of Arsenal and Aston Villa. However, it is understood that Page's preference is to join Manchester United.
Elsewhere in the transfer market, Manchester City striker Divin Mubama is in discussions for a loan move to Southampton. The 21-year-old forward, who impressed on City's pre-season tour with two goals and an assist, had previously performed well at Stoke City until an ankle ligament injury in January. Mubama has also attracted interest from other Championship clubs, including Preston North End, Middlesbrough, and Derby County.
Hull City has completed the signing of Swedish international Elliot Stroud from Mjallby for approximately £3.5 million. The wing-back has agreed to a four-year contract with an additional year's option. Stroud, 24, featured in all four of Sweden's World Cup matches.
West Ham United has submitted an initial offer, reportedly around £15 million, for AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott. The club is also exploring a deal for Arsenal's Reiss Nelson. Parrott, who was Alkmaar's top scorer last season, has also drawn interest from Porto. Nelson has been a prior target for West Ham and has also attracted attention from Fulham and Benfica. He had a mixed loan spell at Brentford last season. West Ham's pursuit of Sunderland's Simon Adingra was impacted by an injury to the player.
Newcastle midfielder Joe Willock remains a target for Turkish club Besiktas, though they believe Newcastle's current asking price is too high. Newcastle is also working on a £13 million deal for Marseille's Pierre Emile Hojbjerg to add experience to their midfield alongside new signings Sean Steur and Aladji Bamba.
Free agent defender Axel Tuanzebe is attracting interest from Saudi Pro League and Premier League clubs, including Everton and Brentford. Tuanzebe, 28, is seeking a new challenge after a season with Burnley and an impressive World Cup performance.

Coventry and Sheffield United have agreed on a £6 million deal for midfielder Gus Hamer, with add-ons included. The 29-year-old, who spent three seasons at Coventry, scoring 19 goals in 132 appearances, is scheduled for a medical.
