That's all for Monday's live news. We'll be back tomorrow morning for all the latest. Will we see a done deal? Could we see another development in the FIFA World Cup saga?

Thanks for reading.

Chelsea have said that Mykhailo Mudryk, free to play following a successful appeal against a drugs ban, and new signing Danny Welbeck have joined Xabi Alonso's squad for the remainder of their pre-season trip. Pedro Neto, recently linked with a switch to Arsenal, has also travelled following a post-World Cup break.

Bruno Guimaraes has appeared to link up with Newcastle United's squad on their pre-season trip to Spain.

The Brazil midfielder posted a story on his Instagram page showing that he is in Iberia.

Wrexham have had a £3million bid accepted by Preston North End for midfield player Ben Whiteman. He will have a medical in the next 48 hours before completing his move.

Roma are now leading the race, ahead of Nottingham Forest, to sign Feyenoord youngster Givairo Read, according to TEAM talk's Graeme Bailey.

It has also been reported that Everton are interested in signing the 20-year-old defender.

But Bailey, posting on X on Monday, said: "Sources have confirmed Roma’s ability to offer Champions League football has proved a major factor in convincing Read that the Italian capital is the right next step in his career."

A report has emerged linking Joao Pedro with a sensational transfer from Chelsea to Arsenal.

The Sun cites a piece from Brazilian outlet Globo, claiming that the Premier League champions could pay in excess of £85 million for the 24-year-old.

Mikel Arteta is looking to revitalise his forward line, providing competition for Viktor Gyokeres, with Gabriel Jesus struggling to recover from a lack of form and injury.

Barcelona would also be willing to pay a similar fee for the 24-year-old, but the same report states that Chelsea want to tie down Pedro to a new deal.

Real Madrid are yet to reach an agreement with RB Leipzig for the signing of Yan Diomande.

Florian Plettenberg cites quotes from Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schafer, who explains the current situation.

A resolution isn't expected today.

Chelsea have announced the signing of Jordan Henderson from Brighton &... Sorry, got into a bit of a habit there!

The Blues have confirmed the arrival of the England midfielder from Brentford.

He told the club website: "Given the size of the club, the manager, who I have great admiration for, and the quality of the players, this was a huge opportunity I couldn’t turn down.

"I was also so impressed with how much the ownership want Chelsea to be successful and move in the right direction.

"For me, it's about giving everything every single day, both on and off the field, to help the players around me and the team as much as possible. I'm very excited to get going.

Liverpool are pushing ahead with their pursuit of Bradley Barcola, with Florian Plettenberg that talks are underway with Paris Saint-Germain to get the deal done.

Arsenal appear to be edging closer to bringing Bruno Guimaraes to the Emirates.

He reports that talks are very advanced between the two clubs, and there could be a big development in the transfer as soon as this evening.

Trevoh Chalobah looks set to leave Chelsea for Serie A side Como.

Fabrizio Romano reports a fee of €30 million (£25.6m) plus €6m (£5.1m) has been agreed between the two clubs.

Bayern Munich would welcome an approach from Aston Villa for Joao Palhinha this summer, according to a report in cfbayerninsider.

Tottenham Hotspur decided not to sign the Portuguese on a permanent basis, despite an impressive loan spell there last season.

He doesn't appear to feature in Vincent Kompany's plans, and the Bavarians are hopeful rather than optimistic, that a deal can be struck with the Premier League side.

Reporter Christian Falk said: ”Bayern are not particularly confident, at the moment, that a deal will be struck with Aston Villa for João Palhinha. They’ve tried to put pressure on the player, but the Portuguese international has also put the pressure back on the club by insisting that he’s going to stay put if Bayern are determined to attach a high asking price to him and there aren’t any clubs available that he’d like to join. This is hard for Bayern, as they do want to sell him.

”There is still a big hope that Aston Villa will come in with an offer. I think he’d fit in perfectly at this great club. I saw the midfielder in training on Wednesday, and I have to say that he’s doing really well. The players were giving him a hard time but he gave as good as he got! He almost picked up an injury, such was the intensity of his showing. He wanted to show that he’s good enough for Bayern and, of course, good enough for a big club like Villa. I think we should keep an eye on him. But, at the moment, it’s all a bit quiet.”

However, the former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea boss has signed a new four-year contract with USMNT, running until 2030.

A defeat over two legs will see them face either Estonia side Paide Linnameeskond or Rapid Vienna in the Conference League play-off round.
