It’s the weekend, and you probably think transfer talks will simmer until Monday. You’re wrong, because things are going on with clubs making calls and flying around to tie things up. Let’s look at a few of the stories making headlines.

West Ham dey para

You must wonder what Julien Lopetegui is cooking at the London Stadium, with West Ham closing in on Crysencio Summerville, Niklas Fullkrug, and Guido Rodriguez with a deal for the three set to be announced in the coming hours.

Following the trio, West Ham plans to intensify negotiations with Manchester United for Aaron Wan Bissaka; United is prepared to sell, and the defender is open to a move that should provide him with regular football without the pressure of playing at Old Trafford.

AC Milan wants Tammy Abraham.

Tammy Abraham, an AS Roma striker, is on AC Milan's wishlist, with Olivier Giroud departing after his contract expires.

Daniel De Rossi isn't planning to work with the former Chelsea striker; the capital club is already talking up potential replacements, and after losing Fulkrug to West Ham, AC Milan now wants to prioritise Tammy Abraham. Early in the new week, we anticipate sealing this deal.

Chelsea reads the riot act to Connor Gallagher.

After stalling on a new contract offer and keeping Atletico Madrid waiting, Chelsea has told Connor Gallagher to either accept the two-year deal on the table or get sold to Diego Simeone's side.

The Blues appreciate Gallagher, but he isn’t the right fit for Enzo Maresca’s tactics, which are more possession-based than running around, as they were under Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea wants to find a solution soon, but the club is also ready to banish the England midfielder to the second team if he doesn’t sign.

Desire Doue keeps Bayern and PSG waiting.

A three-way transfer domino is largely dependent on French winger Desire Doue, with Bayern Munich hoping to strike a deal with Rennes for the youngster for a fee of around €55 million while PSG lurks around.

Leroy Sane could be on his way out of Bayern Munich if Doue joins from Rennes, while PSG’s inability to bring Xavi Simmons back could also mean they go hard for Doue, but the French side wants to seal Joao Neves first.

Arsenal rejects Marseille’s offer for Nketiah.

Arsenal has rejected Olympique Marseille's second offer of €27 million for England striker Eddy Nketiah, expecting at least €35 million.

While Marseille could still return with an improved bid for the striker, Arsenal remains open to selling, but not for anything less than the amount quoted for the striker. Nketiah pushed hard for the deal to happen, but the club will not shift grounds.
