The summer transfer market is officially back in motion, with clubs across Europe working against the clock before the window closes on September 1. Expect a busy stretch as teams push to strengthen their squads for the season ahead.
Here are the latest transfer updates from Simon Jones and the Daily Mail Sport team…
Koleosho heads to Paris
Burnley winger Luca Koleosho has sealed a permanent switch to Ligue 1 club Paris FC, with the fee remaining undisclosed.
Clyne flies the Eagles nest again
The full back, who played 252 games over two spells at Selhurst Park, reflected on his time with the Eagles in an interview with Palace TV, saying: ‘The last few seasons have given me some of the best days of my life.
‘When I started at Crystal Palace we were in the Championship. Now the club is playing European football, having nights like we did in Leipzig.’
Crystal Palace are still in discussions over a potential permanent move for Takehiro Tomiyasu, who is currently training with the squad in Como. The club are also continuing talks around defensive options Chrislain Matsima and Raphael Le Guen.

Bees hoping to seal Sangare deal
Lens have identified Lorient midfielder Arthur Avom Ebong and LASK’s Melayro Bogarde as possible replacements for Mamadou Sangare, who is attracting interest from Brentford.
Brentford are discussing a £40million deal for Sangare, as reported by Daily Mail Sport, and hope to finalise terms quickly ahead of competition from the likes of Crystal Palace for the 24-year-old, who was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year last season.
Brentford are long-term admirers of the player and signing a new central midfielder was a priority even before Chelsea moved for Jordan Henderson. They also like Spurs’ Pape Matar Sarr.
City teen heads to Leicester
Manchester City left back Christian McFarlane has joined Leicester on loan.
McFarlane, 19, becomes the third signing through the door at the King Power Stadium this summer. He joins Conor Chaplin and Alex McCarthy in bolstering Russell Martin’s squad.

McFarlane said: ‘As a player, I’m intense and aggressive at both ends – attacking and defending. I like to make runs in behind and can be a bit of a nuisance for the opposition.
‘The way [the manager] wants to play suits me perfectly, so I’m excited to get started.’
Blues close to landing Lund
Birmingham are closing on a deal for Palermo left back Kristoffer Lund.
The 24-year-old Dane spent last season on loan at Cologne but the German side did not take up their £2.5m option to buy.
Solomon set on permanent switch
Manor Solomon wants to leave Tottenham on a permanent transfer amid interest from West Ham.
The Israeli winger’s agent has made it clear he does not wish for another loan move, after spells with Leeds, Villarreal and Fiorentina, and that’s expected to suit Spurs as they look to recoup funds and upgrade their wide options.
Meanwhile, Spurs are closing on agreement with Wolves for Kwasi Senyah. The 16-year-old defensive midfielder and England youth international was wanted by several clubs but will join Spurs once terms are agreed and it is cleared by the FA.
Benfica are showing interest in Spurs left wing-back Souza while Leicester remain hopeful of taking 18-year-old centre back prospect Malachi Hardy.

Rovers return for Vaulks
Wales international Will Vaulks is in talks over a move to Tranmere.
The 32-year-old started his career with the Wirral club but never made a senior appearance.
Vaulks has gone on to play nearly 600 games at Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff and Rotherham before arriving at Oxford United. He made 38 appearances in the Championship for them last season but is now looking to return home.
Tranmere have also snapped up goalkeeper Harrison Male on a one-year contract. The 25-year-old was a free transfer after he was released by York City earlier this summer.
He played 46 games as the Minstermen pipped Rochdale to the National League title and won Golden Glove after keeping 19 clean sheets.
