Two of those involved Tottenham with £85million and £100million deals agreed for Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, respectively. Manchester United meanwhile, are yet to confirm any incomings and a potential deal for one midfield target could be off following talks with a Premier League rival.
Chelsea, however, have announced the signing of Marco Palestra and now have their sights set on Pep Chavarria, though Rayo Vallecano appear determined to keep him.
Elsewhere, Liverpool and Arsenal look set for a battle to sign Bradley Barcola as alternatives to Yan Diomande and Morgan Rogers, though Paris Saint-Germain view him as not for sale.
With all of that being said, stay with us for the latest transfer news and rumours as we bring you all the latest updates throughout the day!

Despite losing out on Mateus Fernandes to Tottenham, Manchester United have three other midfield targets alongside Aurelien Tchouameni.
According to The Daily Mail, Alex Scott, Tyler Adams and Felix Nmecha are on their radar. The former now looks to be the top target with Old Trafford chiefs a big fan of the Bournemouth midfielder.
Arsenal are also interested in the 22-year-old, who is believed to now cost more than the original £60million asking price following the huge moves for Fernandes, Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson.

Manchester United’s pursuit of Aurelien Tchouameni could be derailed by Eduardo Camavinga heading to the Premier League.
Jose Mourinho’s side are expected to sanction one midfielder sale with Camavinga at the centre of direct talks between Real and Manchester City in the last few hours, according to MARCA.
Their report has claimed that City are “evaluating the possibility of incorporating” the 23-year-old. Enzo Maresca and Co. are looking for another midfield signing after agreeing to sign Elliot Anderson.
Camavinga wants to prove his worth and stay in the Spanish capital but if he does change his stance and join City, Tchouameni is unlikely to make a switch to Old Trafford.

Bradley Barcola is wanted by Arsenal and Liverpool but also seemingly by current club Paris Saint-Germain despite their expected moves for attackers in the market.
Liverpool have turned to the Frenchman after Yan Diomande selected PSG as his next club if he leaves RB Leipzig this summer. His future is likely to be decided soon following Ivory Coast’s World Cup elimination.
As for Arsenal, Barcola is viewed as an alternative to Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers. The former sent the perfect message to transfer suitors earlier this week with a superb goal for France against Sweden.

Chelsea have seen an offer rejected by Rayo Vallecano for Pep Chavarria, according to Spanish radio station El Partidazo de COPE.
Their report states that the La Liga side are considering reporting the English club to FIFA with club president Martin Presa not looking to negotiate a price with Chavarria having a €50m (£42.3m) release clause.
He has also claimed that there has been no negotiations with the west Londoners.

Tottenham have agreed two huge incomings and one marquee departure this week worth a guaranteed £223.5million.
The first agreement struck was an £85m deal with West Ham United for Mateus Fernandes. Spurs then agreed to sell Luka Vuskovic to Brighton for £50m with £46m up front and a further £4m available in add-ons.
Sanctioning that exit allowed the Lilywhites to reach Newcastle United’s £100m asking price for Sandro Tonali. £92.5m is guaranteed while £7.5m could become available in Champions League bonuses.
