Latest transfer news today: Spurs star rejects Arsenal as Man Utd handed boost in £30m left-back pursuit

With kick‑off now just weeks away, the Premier League transfer market is entering its most chaotic stretch.

Several top clubs are scrambling to complete deals, negotiations continue to offer fresh twists, and the window’s defining moves may still be to come.

Football Whispers takes a look at the top stories dominating today's backpages.

Man Utd eye Lewis Hall alternative in David Raum

Manchester United may have accepted defeat in their pursuit of Lewis Hall this summer.

According to reports, the Red Devils are looking at alternative left‑back options as a deal for the Newcastle United star is proving too difficult.

One of the more attainable targets is RB Leipzig’s David Raum, who is understood to have already given the green light to a move to Old Trafford.

The Germany international is also likely to cost considerably less, with a deal at £30 million or less now possible, while Club Brugge's Joaquin Seys remains of interest, too.

Everton interested in Daniel Munoz

Everton have been linked with a surprise move for Daniel Munoz.

According to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, the Toffees are in the market for a new right-back following Seamus Coleman's retirement.

The Colombia international has two years remaining on his current contract at Crystal Palace, who also hold an option for a further year, making a move feel unlikely at this stage of the window.

Munoz joined the Eagles for around £6.5 million in January 2024 and despite now being 30, would cost considerably more than that now.

Cristian Romero rejects Arsenal for Atletico Madrid

Tottenham Hotspur fans can breathe a sigh of relief after Christian Romero decided he will not be joining arch-rivals Arsenal.

Instead, the Argentina international has opted for a move to LaLiga outfit Atletico Madrid, according to reports in his home country.

Diego Simeone's side are said to had had a £30 million bid accepted by Spurs, with the 28-year-old expected to finalise a move in the coming days.

It remains unclear how strong Arsenal’s interest ever truly was, but Romero now looks set for a switch to Madrid before their season gets underway next week.
