That's a pretty good deal on Arsenal's end

Manchester United and Brighton are closing in on a deal for midfielder Carlos Baleba.

United have made an offer of around £60million (€70m, $81m) plus £5m in add-ons which is felt to be below what Brighton would be seeking to sell.

Amicable talks continue with all parties working towards finding an agreement.

Arsenal are closing in on a deal to sign Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa.

The Premier League champions are in the market for defensive reinforcement with both William Saliba and Jurrien Timber currently sidelined with injuries.

England international Konsa, 28, holds particular appeal given his ability to cover at both centre-back and right-back and has been high on Arsenal’s target list all summer.

A different one from me today lads. I asked fans, writers and content creators from all 20 Premier League clubs to predict the season. Here’s what they said.

This has probably been the biggest thing I’ve put together since starting After The Bell.

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been contacting fans, writers, podcasters and content creators from every Premier League club and asking them the same nine questions about the season ahead.

Where will their club finish? Who should opposition fans be watching? What’s their biggest concern? Who wins the league? Who goes down? And, because I’m a Leeds fan and it’s my website, where do they think Leeds will finish?

Countless emails, ignored DMs and increasingly desperate pleas later, I’ve finally got it finished.

There are some brilliant answers in here, some wildly different predictions, a surprising amount of love for Leeds — and several predictions that I’m sure will look absolutely ridiculous by May.

It took a serious amount of work to put together, so if you fancy having a read, I’d genuinely appreciate it.

I think Arsenal will start as favorites given the changes at other teams.

I don't expect Man City to challenge under Maresca, his football is too pedestrian. Chelsea might surprise under Alonso.

I think Liverpool will also struggle to get going but will be a much better watch than last season. United is starting again with Carrick, I would put them up for a top 4 finish again. The league isn't that strong this time.

My predictions

Champions - Arsenal

Top 4 - Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City.

Surprise team - Nottingham Forest

Relegation - Ipswich, Hull, Coventry.

What do you guys think?

I am a massive football and premier league fan, but due to some reason couldn't follow the transfer window this szn, can some kind soul please list all the transfers that have taken place this szn, like in three categories confirmed ones/widely reported as done, advanced rumours but not yet done and some other interesting rumours club wise. That would so be so kind. Have a lovely day.

Inter Milan are closing in on a deal worth 35m euros (£30m) for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.

In June, Liverpool rejected a verbal offer of 25m euros (£21.7m) from Italian champions Inter, with Liverpool valuing the 25-year-old, who has one year left on his current contract, at about £35m.

The understanding now is that a deal worth £30m will likely see an agreement between the clubs. Sources in Italy believe that a verbal agreement is in place but both clubs say that further details need discussion.

The guy who predicted that we will win it last year, Sunderland will get relegated, Chelsea will finish in Top 4, Newcastle in top 6 and Spurs at 8th have predicted that Arsenal will win it and City, Liverpool, Chelsea will be in 2,3,4 places respectively.

I think Top 3 would be a great place to be come May - given how thin our squad is, and how much time it could take to adapt to Iraola's intensity.

I was always never interested in football outside my country (South Africa), but I wanna try something new, so I just wanted to ask which team I should support?
