- Tottenham Hotspur are preparing an £85 million bid to sign AFC Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi, according to TalkSPORT. Spurs have identified the France Under-21 international as a key target after an impressive debut Premier League campaign in which he scored 13 goals. Bournemouth are determined to retain the 20-year-old, but Spurs are seemingly poised to test their resolve with another huge as they continue their summer spending spree.

- Paris Saint-Germain have struck an agreement with Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche over personal terms, RMC Sport reports. The France international has been heavily linked with a €50 million move all summer, although negotiations between the two clubs over a fee are still ongoing. But Akliouche, 24, has agreed terms over a five-year contract with PSG, following an impressive Ligue 1 campaign that saw him register 13 goal involvements across 31 matches.

- Newcastle United are closing in on the signing of Ajax midfielder Sean Steur, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 18-year-old is ready to move, with the total package reportedly exceeding €25 million, and talks are well underway between Newcastle and Ajax over a deal for Steur, who played 19 times in the Eredivisie last term, scoring once. He is also a Netherlands youth international with three U19 caps to his name.

- Arsenal are targeting a striker, midfielder, center back or full back, and a goalkeeper, says The Daily Mail, while winger Leandro Trossard is expected to leave in a €20 million move to Besiktas. Trossard's exit will likely require a left-sided winger to be signed as well -- either Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers or PSG's Bradley Barcola -- with Gunners sporting director Andrea Berta ready to reshape the squad in a bid to retain the Premier League title next season.

Are Arsenal making a mistake letting Trossard go?
