Hello and welcome to the

Mirror Football's

transfer live blog on Sunday, July 19.

The biggest story of the summer window so far dropped yesterday with

Chelsea set to sign Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers in a £117million deal.

He played for England that same day and assuming all went well, he is set to undergo a medical on Monday.

While the Blues are on the verge of signing a winger, Manchester United face losing their top target Crysencio Summerville. for that position to AS Roma. The Serie A side have submitted a bid to West Ham but that was turned down as they hold out for £50million.

Yan Diomande is another wide player that could be on the move. Paris Saint-Germain is his priority over Liverpool but as the former focus on other deals, Arsenal look to have joined the race for his signature after losing out on Rogers.

AS Roma's Manu Kone is one of the 11 players from that France vs England clash facing an uncertain future but it may become clearer very soon.

According to

Gazzetta dello Sport

, offers from Chelsea and Manchester United for the France international could arrive in the coming days.

The latter have been linked for a number of weeks while Chelsea, fresh off agreeing to sign Morgan Rogers, discussed him during talks over Alejandro Garnacho.

In addition to

Morgan Rogers

now being fully focused on his impending move to Chelsea, 10 other World Cup stars have their futures to be resolved.

From the England camp,

Djed Spence

could leave Tottenham and has been linked to Everton while Arsenal are interested in

Ezri Konsa

. A decision also needs to be made on the future of

Marcus Rashford.

Trevoh Chalobah

is also expected to depart Chelsea but it remains to be seen if he will join Inter Milan or Como.

As for France,

Lucas Digne

and

Maghnes Akliouche

could both see moves to Paris Saint-Germain advance while the future of

Bradley Barcola

in the French capital is up for debate.

Maxence Lacroix

could be Chelsea's Chalobah replacement while

Manu Kone

is wanted by Manchester United and Aston Villa.

Alejandro Garnacho could become the third Manchester United outcast to play for Aston Villa.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano is claiming that the now-Chelsea star was another player spoken about during meetings over Morgan Rogers. He has stated that Villa's interest has been raised over the possibility of signing Garnacho.

Aston Villa were one team linked to Bowen but they are now already looking elsewhere for attacking reinforcements and there could be more negotiations with Chelsea...

That is because, according to

BBC Sport

, they made an enquiry for Nicolas Jackson during the Rogers talks with Unai Emery having worked with the Senegal international at Villarreal.

AS Roma look to have stepped up their pursuit of Manchester United target Crysencio Summerville.

The Serie A side emerged as an interested party earlier this month alongside United and Aston Villa and the latest update suggests they are leading that race.

The Athletic

, a €46million (£39.12m) offer was lodged on Saturday. It has since been claimed that was turned down with West Ham holding out for £50m to sell,

Having lost out on Morgan Rogers to Chelsea, Arsenal links to Bradley Barcola were expected to ramp up but it is actually a Paris Saint-Germain target being eyed by Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners have made checks with his agents in the last few days to see if there was a chance of signing him.

Morgan Rogers is set to become Chelsea’s record signing and the third player the Blues have spent over £100million on.

New manager Xabi Alonso has reportedly been key to the deal and Chelsea are certainly not hanging about when it comes to finalising his switch from Aston Villa as a medical has been scheduled for Monday, as per

The Athletic.
