The summer transfer window is open once more, with clubs now able to do business until September 1. As ever, the weeks ahead are expected to bring plenty of movement as teams try to strengthen their squads before the new season.
Here is the latest transfer news from Simon Jones and the Daily Mail Sport team…
Wolves bolster attack

Leeds up for fight over Muharemovic
Elsewhere, Leeds have joined Bournemouth and Sunderland in the race to sign Sassuolo centre back Tarik Muharemovic.
The Bosnia international has been tracked by Bournemouth for around a year, with the club also making enquiries about him during the January window.
Sassuolo are understood to value the 23-year-old at roughly £30million, although former club Juventus are due 50 per cent of any future sale.

Garnacho heading for the exit
Chelsea, meanwhile, are prepared to move on Alejandro Garnacho after just one season at the club.
Daily Mail Sport reported earlier this week that two Champions League clubs are among those showing interest in Garnacho, with former club Manchester United retaining a 10 per cent sell-on clause.
Garnacho, who is valued at £45million, has not been involved in those first sessions held by new boss Xabi Alonso, with club and player working to finalise his future.

‘For any young footballer, to become part of this amazing club is a dream come true. This has been the best club in England over the past 10 years.

Monga becomes new head coach Enzo Maresca’s second signing of the summer after Elliott Anderson joined from Nottingham Forest for £116m.
