Transfer news live: Man Utd make Gyokeres contact, Sesko close to Arsenal move, Reijnders completes medical

When is a transfer advancing and when is a transfer proceeding well?

Arsenal’s interest in Benjamin Sesko appears to be doing both, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Though no agreement is expected imminently.

Sky Sports in Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg believes this transfer will happen and is only a matter of time before being confirmed.

We start with the news that Liverpool have launched a new record bid for Florian Wirtz, raising their offer to a club record £113m.

Bayer Leverkusen are believed to want £150m for the Germany international, who would prefer a move to Anfield.

Wirtz also attracted attention from Bayern Munich but told the German champions he wanted to go to Liverpool.

Liverpool’s chase of Florian Wirtz faces an added layer of complication with FC Koln wading into the transfer, demanding they are paid what they are due from any lucrative sale Leverkusen.

Leverkusen poached the young Wirtz from local rivals Koln and BILD reports that Koln’s president, Werner Wolf, said he is out to get a slice of the £100m+ transfer fee.

“We are looking into it. We know what we are entitled to and will fight for it,” Wolf said.
