Pulisic, Grealish, Zirkzee — The big names who could still move before midnight on September 1

Spurs Eye Pulisic in Bold American Move

Tottenham Hotspur have made a formal enquiry to AC Milan over the availability of United States international winger Christian Pulisic, 27, Teamtalk reported. The American, who has been one of Serie A’s most consistent performers since his move to the San Siro, is understood to have admirers at Spurs who believe he would add immediate quality and Premier League experience to their attacking options. Milan have not yet indicated a willingness to sell, and with the window closing imminently, the deal would need to move fast to have any chance of completion.

Liverpool and Everton Locked in Leweling Battle

A Merseyside rivalry is brewing in the transfer market. Both Liverpool and Everton are tracking Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling, 25, with Roma also pushing aggressively to land the German international, according to Patrick Berger and Sky Sport Germany. Stuttgart have already rejected at least one offer from Roma, signalling they will not sell cheaply. The prospect of Liverpool and Everton competing for the same player — one a Champions League contender, the other rebuilding — adds a compelling subplot to an already heated pursuit.

Newcastle Circle Lille’s Fernandez-Pardo

Newcastle United are exploring the possibility of signing 21-year-old Belgian international Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille, Florian Plettenberg reported. However, the pursuit remains at an early stage with nothing advanced in terms of concrete negotiations. The Magpies have been active in their search for attacking reinforcements, and Fernandez-Pardo’s age profile fits the club’s recruitment strategy — though time is running short to turn interest into a completed deal.

Grealish Set for Everton Return

Everton are working to secure a second loan deal for Manchester City and England winger Jack Grealish, The Athletic reported. The former Aston Villa captain spent time at Goodison Park last season and impressed sufficiently for Everton to pursue a repeat arrangement. City, for their part, appear willing to facilitate another temporary exit as Grealish continues his search for consistent minutes at the highest level.

Palace Dig In to Keep Henderson

Crystal Palace are determined to hold onto England goalkeeper Dean Henderson, 29, despite a bid from Nottingham Forest, the Daily Mail reported. Palace view Henderson as integral to their setup and have no intention of weakening their defensive options this close to the window’s close.

Three-Club Race for Leverkusen’s Kofane

One of the most compelling late-window battles involves 20-year-old Cameroon striker Christian Kofane of Bayer Leverkusen, with Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Chelsea all registering serious interest, Football Insider reported. A three-way Premier League tussle for a player of Kofane’s age and profile suggests the asking price will escalate sharply before the window slams shut.

Liverpool Monitor Belgian Teenage Keeper

Liverpool are keeping a quiet eye on Genk goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, 18, though Ben Jacobs stressed that any deal this summer would not result in an immediate first-team move for the Belgium youth international. The Reds appear content to monitor his development with a view to a future move rather than a deadline-day rush.

Palace and Fulham Duel for Larsson

Crystal Palace and Fulham are in active talks with Eintracht Frankfurt over Swedish midfielder Hugo Larsson, 22, with a fee of approximately £25 million potentially sufficient to secure his signature, Teamtalk reported. The south London clubs appear to be the frontrunners, though Frankfurt will be seeking maximum value for a player who has impressed consistently in the Bundesliga.

Palace Revive Timber Talks

Crystal Palace have reopened negotiations with Marseille for Netherlands midfielder Quinten Timber, 25, the Daily Mail reported. Palace are clearly in the market for midfield reinforcements, and Timber — technically accomplished with European experience — fits the profile Oliver Glasner has been seeking throughout the window.

Zirkzee to Juventus — If David Leaves

Finally, Juventus remain interested in Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, 25, but any move for the Dutch forward is directly conditional on whether Jonathan David departs the Turin club for Atletico Madrid, Sky Sport Italy reported. It is a domino deal — one transfer unlocking another — of the kind that defines the final frantic hours of any window.
