Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd defender swoop, Chelsea striker talks, Mbappe swap bid lands | Football | Sport

Manchester United are expected to wrap up the signing of Rasmus Hojlund on Tuesday when the Atalanta frontman is due to arrive in England to undergo a medical with the Red Devils. An agreement worth £72million was reached between the two clubs on Saturday and with personal terms already in place between United and the player, the deal is now on the verge of completion.

United are not expected to stop there though and although the focus will shift to outgoings, they still hope to strengthen their squad in three different areas including defensive midfield, centre-back and between the sticks.

Meanwhile, United’s move for Hojlund is set to hand Bayern Munich a clear run at Harry Kane following their latest meeting with Tottenham in London on Monday.

The Bundesliga club remain £20m apart from Spurs’ £100m valuation but Tottenham are now believed to be open to a sale after being told Kane is unlikely to sign a new contract anytime soon.

Chelsea are now upping the ante in the transfer market and are in active talks to sign a goalkeeper and striker in addition to Moises Caicedo.

Progress could be made on both fronts as soon as Tuesday and Express Sport is on hand to keep you updated on all the latest developments from the transfer market on Tuesday, August 1.
