It has been a lively summer transfer window in the Premier League already, and the rumour mill isn’t slowing down.
As several top sides continue to reshape their squads for the new season, Football Whispers takes a look at the headlines dominating today's back pages.

Manchester United have bolstered Michael Carrick's engine room, and their attention has now turned to reinforcing his defence.
Lewis Hall has been consistently linked with a switch to Old Trafford, with fresh reports suggesting that the Red Devils are finally preparing a bid for the Newcastle United star.
A reliable left‑back capable of competing with the injury‑hit Luke Shaw has remained a major priority for United this summer, and the England international sits firmly at the top of their shortlist.
The exact fee remains uncertain, particularly following the managerial change at St James’ Park, though earlier suggestions placed Hall’s valuation at around £60 million.
Man City target Geronimo Rulli to replace James Trafford

Manchester City aren't just focusing on big-money signings that will instantly upgrade Enzo Maresca's squad.
According to reports, the Premier League runners-up are eyeing a move for Marseille and Argentina goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli.
The Citizens need a new deputy to Gianluigi Donnarumma after James Trafford’s sale to Leeds, and the 34‑year‑old appears to be a cheap, low‑risk solution.
Valued at just £5 million, Rulli could be the next arrival at the Etihad, before City shift their focus to signing a new right-back and another midfielder.
Leeds and Forest join Liam Delap race

Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are the latest clubs to be linked with a move for Liam Delap.
The 23‑year‑old striker faces an uncertain future at Chelsea just a year after arriving, alerting both sides as well as Everton, per emerging reports.
Delap scored only one Premier League goal last season, yet new Forest boss Oliver Glasner and Leeds manager Daniel Farke both see him as a strong alternative to their first‑choice no.9s.
It is also claimed that Chelsea value the former Ipswich Town forward at around £35 million to £40 million.
