Latest transfer news today: Liverpool eye World Cup wonderkid as Spurs now ‘ready’ £85m forward bid

As the 2026 World Cup heads towards the quarter-finals and football fever grips fans around the globe, attention is turning back to the club game, where Europe’s biggest sides are already shaping their futures.

With the summer transfer window in full swing and fresh rumours emerging by the hour, Football Whispers takes a look at the top stories dominating today’s backpages.

Tottenham to submit Eli Junior Kroupi bid

Tottenham Hotspur and their relentless summer spending shows no sign of slowing, with the north London club preparing yet another major move.

According to reports, Spurs will ‘ready' an £85 million offer for AFC Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi, the 20‑year‑old French sensation attracting interest from several top-flight rivals.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been informed that Kroupi is not for sale, but Roberto De Zerbi appears determined to test Bournemouth’s resolve.

Having already splashed more than £235 million on Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali and Jan Paul van Hecke, Tottenham now have Kroupi firmly in their sights.

Arsenal consider Aaron Wan-Bissaka move

Arsenal could now turn their attention to a new right-back amid uncertainty over Ben White's future at the Emirates Stadium.

One name now emerging on their radar is relegated West Ham United star Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is not expected to command a significant transfer fee, per fresh reports.

The 28‑year‑old is said to feature on a shortlist of 11 potential replacements for the England international, should he depart north London this summer.

Ezri Konsa and Jules Kounde have also been considered, with the Gunners keen to secure reliable cover for Jurrien Timber ahead of a demanding title defence.

Liverpool eye Gilberto Mora

Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Club Tijuana midfielder Gilberto Mora, who impressed for Mexico at the World Cup.

At just 17, the attacking playmaker has already been trusted as a creative focal point for El Tri following an eye‑catching Liga MX campaign.

The Reds are not alone in the chase, with rivals Manchester United and Arsenal also monitoring his situation, while Real Madrid have long admired the teenager.

Signing Mora will be far from straightforward, as Tijuana handed him the No. 10 shirt when extending his contract to 2029, and any fee is expected to exceed £34 million.
