The odds on van Dijk to stay on the south coast have shortened to 6/4 with Sky Bet, while Liverpool are now 5/4 to capture the Dutch international.

Matuidi is reportedly close to signing a three-year contract with the Serie A champions for a fee in the region of £20million.

1445: Southampton are interested in Lazio defender Wesley Hoedt, Press Association Sport understands.

The Dutch defender is reportedly the subject of a £15.5million bid from Mauricio Pellegrino's men.

1430: News on the Sigurdsson saga - Gylfi has passed his Everton medical and is on the verge of completing the move to Goodison Park.

Toffees boss Ronald Koeman announced at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon that the the 27-year-old Iceland international has passed his medical.

Sigurdsson's proposed switch has dragged on for most of the summer with Swansea initially valuing their star man at £50million. But Everton are finally set to secure their number one target to take their summer spending to over £140million.

1340: Premier League Burnley have bid £12million for Deportivo La Coruna striker Florin Andone in a bid to bolster their attack following Andre Gray's move to Watford.

The Clarets reportedly had two bids for Leeds United's Chris Wood earlier in the week and have now turned their attention elsewhere.

1300: French media is suggesting that an agreement has been made between Tottenham and Paris St Germain for Ivory Coast defender Serge Aurier.

A five-year deal is reportedly in place with the North London club and the fee is reported to be around £18million to £20 million.

1210: Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has stated that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will remain at Arsenal despite rumours that Chelsea were mounting a £35million bid for the England international.

Chelsea are marked at 7/4 with Sky Bet to land the English midfielder, however Wenger was quoted saying that Oxlade-Chamberlain will stay at Arsenal "because I rate him highly and he's one of the players who is on his way up. In the last year, he has made huge progress and personally I want him to stay here for a long time."

1145: Real Madrid’s hopes of signing young prospect Kylian Mbappe have been given a boost with Paris Saint-Germain now doubting whether they should push on with their pursuit of the Monaco sensation, reports Marca.

PSG have faced a huge backlash after their world-record £200million purchase of Brazilian Neymar and bringing in 18-year-old Mbappe could antagonise this further.

The Parisian club are still favourites to sign the teenager at 4/11. However Real Madrid are now 10/1 to capture his signature, while he is 15/8 to remain at Monaco.

1030: News on another of this summer's transfer sagas - Arsene Wenger is ready to accept the financial "sacrifice" of keeping Alexis Sanchez at Arsenal and admits there has been no progress on a new deal for the forward.

The Frenchman insisted last week it was his decision not to sell Sanchez and he is more than prepared to miss out on a pay-day by sticking to his guns.

However, there had been no headway made on tying the former Barcelona man down to a new contract, so this story seems like it will remain ongoing until the end of the window.

The Chilean playmaker is now marked at 1/2 to remain at the Emirates, however Sky Bet have Manchester City as 7/2 favourites to capture Sanchez before the transfer window closes.

1000: Ross Barkley's chance for a move away from Goodison Park could now be in doubt after the England international picked up a hamstring injury in training on Monday.

The Blues midfielder faces an anxious wait to discover the extent of the hamstring injury that may jeopardise his desired transfer.

Barkley's odds to stay at Everton have been slashed, and he is now 1/2 with Sky Bet to remain at the Merseyside club. Spurs are still favourites to capture the 23-year-old, but are now marked at 2/1.

0940: Finally some positive news for Rafael Benitez on the transfer front - Spanish striker Joselu has completed his move to Newcastle from Stoke.

The 27-year-old Spaniard has signed a three-year deal to seal a move for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £5million, the Magpies have confirmed.

Meanwhile, at the Bet365 Stadium, Stoke have signed Spanish forward Jese Rodriguez on a season-long loan from Paris St Germain. The 24-year-old cost PSG almost £22million last summer but has only made one appearance for the Parisian side since his arrival.

0850: Confirmation this morning that Gylfi Sigurdsson is set to undergo a medical at Everton ahead of a proposed £45million move.

This has been one of those when, not if transfer sagas so I'm glad we can all move on - should be pass with flying colours, of course.

You can get more details - including news of where Swansea might splash their cash - right here.
