What is happening with West Ham's transfer plans?

West Ham are negotiating a deal with Tottenham for Israeli winger Manor Solomon, 27, who spent last season on loan at Villarreal and Fiorentina. The Hammers are also interested in former Spurs striker Troy Parrott, 24, after the Republic of Ireland international scored 16 league goals in 28 games for Dutch Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar last season.

West Ham have had a second bid for versatile Belgian Arne Engels, 22, rejected by Scottish giants Celtic, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany.

West Ham's interest in Solomon and Parrott adds to a busy summer of transfer links, with the club continuing to monitor options in attack and midfield as the market develops.

The wider list of rumours comes from The Times sport section and follows a pattern of Premier League, Championship and European clubs looking to reshape their squads before the new season.

How does the Rashford story fit the wider transfer background?

It connects with previous reports that several clubs have monitored Marcus Rashford's situation, including a claim that Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs targeted him in transfer gossip. That earlier report said Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham were all linked with the Manchester United forward, while Arsenal also eyed Ezri Konsa and Nottingham Forest moved for Ousmane Diomande.

Other background stories noted Manchester United facing uncertainty over Rashford's future as Arsenal, Tottenham and Barcelona tracked emerging talents across Europe, while another update said Tottenham could target Rashford if they avoided relegation. A later piece said Morgan Rogers targeted an Arsenal move, Rashford was ready to take a pay cut for Tottenham, Spurs were confident on a Tonali deal, and there were updates on Chalobah, Bremer and Kane.

Taken together, those reports show Rashford has remained one of the most closely watched names in the market, even as the latest rumour now links him with Fenerbahce and a possible move to Turkey.

What other club links feature in the gossip?

Arsenal's talks with Newcastle over Bruno Guimaraes would, if completed, represent a major midfield move, with the Gunners hoping to agree a fee between £70m and £80m. Paris St-Germain are accelerating their pursuit of Ferran Torres, while RB Leipzig are refusing to budge from their 130m euros valuation of Diomande in discussions with Real Madrid.

Other rumours include Liverpool's stance on Gakpo, Sunderland's refusal to sell Isidor, Ajax's expected loan move for ter Stegen, Villa's interest in Bernal and Roma's admiration for Endrick. Each of those stories points to clubs balancing player valuations, squad planning and late-window opportunities.
