The transfer window continues to heat up, with speculation, potential moves and high‑profile exits gathering momentum across the Premier League.

The World Cup is only fuelling the frenzy, offering several talents the perfect stage to attract major interest this summer.

Football Whispers takes a look at the biggest stories shaping the day.

Tottenham Hotspur are among the teams considering a move for free-agent striker Dusan Vlahovic.

That's according to emerging reports, which suggest that the north Londoners are one of three Premier League sides to enquire about the 26‑year‑old.

Chelsea and Newcastle United are also keen, while Turkish giants Besiktas are pushing hard to land the Serbia international on a lucrative contract.

Vlahovic has left Juventus, so he will not command a hefty transfer fee, but is seeking a contract around £150k-per-week, alongside bonuses and agent fees.

Newcastle step up move for Victor Munoz

Newcastle United will step up talks this week over a move for Osasuna winger Victor Munoz.

That's according to the Mail, who claim the Magpies are targeting younger additions to their squad, with the 22‑year‑old high on their shortlist.

Real Madrid are not expected to activate their buy‑back clause, while Manchester United have yet to follow up their interest, leaving the race wide open.

The LaLiga outfit are seeking around £34.5 million for Munoz, though Newcastle are keen to negotiate a structured payment plan.

Man Utd won't pay Mateus Fernandes asking price

Manchester United remain the favourites to sign West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes this summer – but there’s a catch.

Reports indicate the Red Devils are unwilling to meet the Hammers’ £80 million valuation, despite knowing the 21‑year‑old is eager to join Portugal teammate Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford.

The 21-year-old is among the club's priorities this summer, but will not be held to ransom, despite growing interest from European heavyweights Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

With West Ham set for life in the Championship next season, Fernandes is unlikely to stay, making the coming weeks crucial in determining his future.
