1350: Staying with the Toffees, one of their remaining big targets is reported to be Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson.

He would cost in the region of £40million but the Swans want another £10million on top of that and won't be bullied into selling.

Their American owners said: "We will not be bullied or forced into a decision until a club meets our valuation of the player, no matter whether they believe they have an agreement with the player."

The odds suggest a deal will be struck, with Everton 1/7 to sign him while it's 14/1 for him to stay at Swansea.

1300: Everton boss Ronald Koeman admits the future of Ross Barkley remains unclear although he insists the reason he didn't travel with the team to Tanzania was due to injury.

The midfielder, who has been warned he will be sold if he refused to extend his contract that expires next summer, is 8/11 to sign for Tottenham and 15/2 to end up at Arsenal.

He's 7/4 to stay.

1200: West Ham are now seemingly out of the running to sign Olivier Giroud, with their odds drifting to 16/1.

Everton, who have been prolific in the transfer market, are even-money to bring the Frenchman to Goodison Park as a strike partner for Wayne Rooney while Borussia Dortmund are next in the running at 10/1.

Hammers boss  Slaven Bilic admits he's "pretty close" to adding to his squad and the likely arrivals are Joe Hart (1/10) and Stoke star Marko Arnautovic (1/6), who would them around £20million.

1040: While Manchester City continue to treat the transfer market like a go on Football Manager, Chelsea are getting a taste of what it’s like to do business like a regular football club.

It appears the Blues have missed out on another target, this time in the form of Leonardo Bonucci.

Antonio Conte had supposedly made the centre-back a priority for the summer, with reports suggesting that a £50m bid had been launched.

However, such talk has since gone quiet and it appears that a move bizarre alternative move has materialised, with Serie A rivals AC Milan expected to secure his services.

Sky Bet have just suspended betting on the 30-year-old’s future, with the San Siro outfit backed at as short at 1/20.

Bonucci’s intent to move seemingly stems from his fall out with manager Massimiliano Allegri, while his decision not to move abroad is thought to be linked with the health of his son.

0900: Manchester City could announce the signing of England right-back Kyle Walker from Tottenham today for a fee believed to be around £50million.

City are also said to have been tracking Monaco left-sided defender Benjamin Mendy, who helped Monaco win Ligue 1 last season and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. 

He's valued at around £40million and it won't be the first time City have raided the Monaco squad once this summer, with the £42.5million signing of winger Bernardo Silva, while £35million goalkeeper Ederson has come in from Benfica.

0800: Let's start today's edition of the Transfer Bulletin with a look at today's papers, and if you believe everything you read then David De Gea could well be on his way to Real Madrid.

More than one national says the Red Devils are bracing themselves for a fresh £50million bid for their star goalkeeper - but you can back the Spanish giants at 3/1 with Sky Bet to sign him. He's 2/9 to stay at Old Trafford.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in talks with LA Galaxy about a move to the United States worth £6m-a-year. It's 2/5 that he does indeed end up in the MLS.

The race for Chelsea's Nemanja Matic looks pretty intense between Juventus and Manchester United. The papers suggest he's desperate to move up north to join Jose Mourinho and you can back that move happening at 6/4 while Juventus are the same price. He's 9/4 to stay put.
