Final 48 hours: the board
The Premier League window slams shut at 23:00 BST on Tuesday, 1 September, and Monday morning’s gossip column reads like a fire drill. Here is every live thread, ranked by how much noise it can still make before the deadline.
- Tottenham ask about Pulisic: Spurs have enquired to AC Milan about the 27-year-old United States winger, per Teamtalk. Milan have sold big this summer and Spurs are hunting one more attacker.
- Larsson talks at Palace and Fulham: Teamtalk reports both London clubs are in discussions with Eintracht Frankfurt over the Swedish midfielder, with a fee of around £25m potentially enough.
- Grealish, again: Everton are working on a second loan for the Manchester City winger, according to the Athletic. Sunderland's push from the weekend appears to have slipped.
- Henderson not for sale: Crystal Palace are determined to keep Dean Henderson, 29, after a Nottingham Forest bid, per the Mail.
- Kofane three-club race: Newcastle, Aston Villa and Chelsea all want 20-year-old Cameroon striker Christian Kofane from Bayer Leverkusen, per Football Insider.
- Liverpool watch Brughmans: The Reds are monitoring 18-year-old Genk goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, per Ben Jacobs, though any deal would not mean an immediate move.
- Timber revived: Palace have reopened talks with Marseille for Netherlands midfielder Quinten Timber, 25.
- Leweling tug-of-war: Liverpool and Everton want Stuttgart's Jamie Leweling, 25, while Roma push hardest of all, per Sky Sport Germany.
The Larsson file
The most gettable big name on the board is Hugo Larsson. skouted.ai carries the Eintracht midfielder at a 72 OVR with a market value band of €15.4M to €25.0M, which puts the reported £25m asking price right at the top of his valuation. The model’s scouting report notes a regular starting berth in a top-five league at 21, 25 appearances and 2 goals plus 2 assists this season, 86 percent passing accuracy, and a potential projection of 84.
The catch: his undervaluation score sits at 23, flagged overvalued. Frankfurt hold a contract running to 2029, so there is zero leverage discount. Any club paying £25m is paying retail.
The Zirkzee domino
Sky Sport Italy reports Juventus remain interested in Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, 24, but the move only happens if Jonathan David leaves Turin for Atletico Madrid. It is the last big domino standing in the striker market: Atletico pull David, Juventus need a replacement, United get an exit route for a player skouted.ai rates at 79 OVR and €18.0M to €22.0M.
What happens next
Palace pushing on two midfielders at once, Larsson and Timber, suggests they expect to land one. Spurs enquiring without bidding is classic leverage-building 30 hours out. And if Atletico formalize their David interest, expect Zirkzee chatter to ignite before Tuesday night.
