Meanwhile, Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones and Inter Milan defender Djed Spence are both subjects of interest for Barcelona, with the club exploring a deal for both players. Elsewhere, Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly is reportedly unlikely to be signed by Chelsea and Manchester United, who turned down the chance to sign the versatile England international. The 18-year-old England talent wants to stay at Arsenal and fight for his place under manager Mikel Arteta. Chelsea has completed the signing of Spanish left-back Pep Chavarria, who has joined the club on a five-year contract for an initial fee of £16.3m plus potential add-ons.

Everton is reportedly interested in signing defender Kyle Walker, according to The Sun. Meanwhile, Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones and Inter Milan defender Djed Spence are both targets for Barcelona.",
