Manchester United remain in the market for a left-back. The club is searching for alternatives as Lewis Hall is unavailable [4]. United has made an enquiry involving £35 million as they navigate the remaining three weeks until the transfer deadline [4].
Chelsea are expected to announce the signing of Pep Chavarria [1]. The club's activity also includes Morgan Rogers, who has begun pre-season training with the team [1].

“Arsenal are reported to be interested in signing Alejandro Romero”
The simultaneous pursuit of targets by four of the league's wealthiest clubs suggests a volatile final few weeks of the window. Arsenal's reported attempt to hijack a Liverpool target and Manchester United's urgency for a left-back indicate that squad gaps are being filled reactively, which often drives up transfer fees as the deadline approaches.
