Declan Rice is the club's most expensive acquisition, with the Gunners splashing an eyewatering £105milion, per The Guardian, to sign the midfielder from West Ham United.

United, meanwhile, have made four major signings in the shape of Andre Onana and Mason Mount, who swapped Chelsea for the Red Devils.

But with a few more days before the window shuts, clubs are expected to seal deadline day deals in a bid to reinforce their squads further as the new season takes shape.

Sports Brief takes a look at the top 10 deals that could be completed ahead of the transfer deadline day on Friday, September 1.

1. Marc Cucurella to Man United

The Chelsea outcast has been linked with a possible move to Manchester United.

United want to sign Cucurella after injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

2. Harry Maguire to West Ham

The Sun reports that Maguire was on the verge of joining West Ham before the deal collapsed.

However, the proposed transfer seems to be back on once again, with Ten Hag keen to offload the embattled centre-back.

3. Emile Smith Rowe to Chelsea

The Arsenal academy graduate has been linked with a possible exit this summer after falling out of favour under Mikel Arteta.

Chelsea have emerged as the shock candidates who could seal the transfer of the Englishman.

4. Ryan Gravenberch to Man United

Man United are among the teams whose transfer plans have been plunged into disarray.

The Red Devils are said to be shopping for a new midfielder, especially after Mason Mount's injury.

Gravenberch has since been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

5. Joao Felix to Liverpool

The Atletico Madrid man could be in line for a sensational return to the Premier League.

The Portuguese spent last season at Chelsea on loan. However, he is said to be staring at an uncertain future with the La Liga side.

Liverpool are understood to be keeping tabs on his situation.

6. Wilfred Ndidi to Nottingham Forest

The Leicester City midfielder was relegated to the Championship with the Foxes last season.

However, he could make a return to the English top flight, with Nottingham Forest keen on his services to reinforce their midfield.

7. Eric Dier to Fulham

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly desperate to offload the Englishman this summer.

Reports claim new Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has put him up for sale.

A move to London rivals, Fulham, has been mooted.

8. Dean Henderson to Crystal Palace

Dean Henderson's career at Old Trafford is seemingly over.

After spending last season away on loan, the Man United keeper looks set to join Crystal Palace on a permanent move.

According to reports, the Englishman has already had his medicals at Selhurst Park.

9. Matheus Nunes to Man City

The reigning English champions are in the market for another midfielder to add to their squad depth.

Wolves ace Matheus Nunes is believed to be top on Pep Guardiola's wishlist.

10. Nuno Tavares to Forest

The Arsenal defender is the other high-profile player who could move to Nottingham Forest before the window shuts.

Tavares is said to have lost Arteta's faith but could be handed an escape route to Forest.

Chelsea's dig at Liverpool with Lavia video

Sports Brief also reported on Chelsea taking a dig at Liverpool with their recent video on social media to announce the arrival of their new signing, Romeo Lavia.

The clip on the Blues account shows their newest star in the evening at the club's Cobham training facility after completing his medical on August 17.

The background song was Central Cee's 6 for 6 and it passed two messages with its lyrics, one set exemplifying Lavia's journey up from the youth level.
