Premier League clubs have entered the final week of the summer transfer window. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are all expected to be busy over the coming days as they seek to bolster their respective squads.

Friday's business could see Manuel Ugarte become a step closer to becoming a United player. The Red Devils are reported to have revisited their interest from earlier in the window and could strike an agreement for the defensive midfielder, who is valued by Paris Saint-Germain at around £51million.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Mikel Merino, who will become only the second major addition at the Emirates Stadium this summer. The Spain international is due in London to complete a £40m switch from Real Sociedad.

Raheem Sterling has ruled out a mega-money switch to Saudi Arabia, according to the Daily Mail.

Sterling is one of 13 players who are part of what has been dubbed Chelsea's 'bomb squad'.

The 29-year-old is set to leave Stamford Bridge in the next week but his options seemed to narrow, in part due to his reported £300,000 per-week salary.

There is interest from Aston Villa and Crystal Palace - but it remains to be seen whether a deal can be struck.

Man Utd have held 'positive' talks with Paris Saint-Germain over the signing of Manuel Ugarte, Sky Sports claim.

United walked away from a deal for the uruguayan earlier this summer, baulking at the £51m asking price.

However, the move is back on and discussions are ongoing.

While both clubs would favour a permanent move, it is reported that a loan with an obligation to buy remains a possibility.
