Latest transfer news today: Bayern Munich eye Liverpool star as Mason Greenwood is linked with controversial PL return

The 2026 summer transfer window is yet to fully ignite, and while that will likely remain the case until teams start getting eliminated from the World Cup, several Premier League clubs continue to work tirelessly on deals behind the scenes.

In today's transfer roundup, we have updates from Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal as all 20 PL clubs prepare for the beginning of the new season on Saturday, 22 August.

Check out the biggest headlines below.

Liverpool teenager Rio Ngumoha is reportedly a transfer target for Bayern Munich this summer, with the German club in the market for a new, young winger.

According to a report from Sky Germany's Philipp Hinze, Bayern have registered an interest in the winger, even though there is an acknowledgement that getting him out of Liverpool this summer will be extremely difficult.

The same report states that RB Leipzig are also exploring a deal for Ngumoha, who won't turn 18 until the end of August.

Considering the 17-year-old was the only shining light in an otherwise disappointing season for Liverpool, it would take a huge bid from either German club for Liverpool to even consider selling him.

Mason Greenwood is a target for Arsenal

Arsenal are reportedly exploring a deal for Marseille forward Mason Greenwood, in a move that would send shockwaves through the Premier League for all the wrong reasons.

Greenwood was sold by Manchester United in 2024 amid accusations of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and a move back to the Premier League has always been considered impossible.

However, a report in L'Equipe states that Arsenal are monitoring the situation as Marseille could be forced to sell the 24-year-old this summer due to Financial Fair Play pressure.

Tottenham, who are managed by former Marseille boss Roberto de Zerbi, have also been linked with a move for Greenwood, but the Daily Mirror have reported that it is a non-starter.

Spurs to make a move for Adam Warton

Speaking of Tottenham, their summer rebuild is set to continue with a move for Adam Wharton, according to TEAMtalk.

Roberto de Zerbi is reportedly desperate to improve his midfield this summer, and Wharton is considered one of the most realistic signings. Also on his list of targets are Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.

The report states that a move for Tonali is far more complicated and expensive than they would like, while Fernandes is believed to prefer a move to Manchester United.

A fee of around £60m will be needed to make Crystal Palace consider a sale, with Wharton considered one of the Eagles' best players.
