That brings us to the end of today's transfer news live.

But before we go, here's a recap of all the transfer murmurings we have brought you throughout the day:

• The transfer window has reopened until 1 September, but why was it only closed for six days?
• Bournemouth sign left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes
• Florian Wirtz reportedly set for his Liverpool medical on Friday
• Man City finalising a deal to sign Sverre Nypan, but who is he?
• Chelsea splash out £89.5m in preparation for the Club World Cup - the most of any club so far
• A deep dive into Arsenal's spending under Mikel Arteta
• Is signing Jack Grealish a good move for the Gunners?

Thanks for being with us today and we'll see you again very soon.

England international Raheem Sterling spent last season on loan at Arsenal and is the highest-paid player on Chelsea's books on his £300,000-a-week wage.

The loan failed to work out as Sterling scored only once last season.

However, his situation is similar to Grealish, with a big wage making it hard to get a permanent move after falling out of favour.

Sterling, who like Grealish plays on the left-hand side of a front three, joined the Gunners as a 29-year-old - the same age Grealish is currently.

A direct replacement is likely needed for Sterling, but with that transfer failing, could that put Mikel Arteta off someone in a position where cover is needed for Gabriel Martinelli?

Or is Grealish worth a punt on loan?

While Jack Grealish struggled last campaign to the extent that his Manchester City career appears to be over, he has had more fruitful campaigns in the top flight.

His best season since moving to City for £100 million came in 2022-23, when he scored five goals and provided seven assists across 28 league matches.

Grealish was an important player that season, playing more than 2,000 minutes in the Premier League, and helped drive City to win the treble - the only English side to do so in the 21st century.

Before that, he convinced City to splash out with two strong campaigns for Aston Villa which helped establish his boyhood club back in the Premier League following promotion in 2019.

Between 2019 and 2021, Grealish scored 14 goals and provided 18 assists in 62 matches for Villa.

Food for thought for any club considering a move - which may or may not include Arsenal...

As of Friday, Manchester City had not received any formal offers for out-of-favour midfielder Jack Grealish.

England international Grealish's club future is in doubt after he was left out of City's squad for the last Premier League game of the campaign at Fulham, as well as the Club World Cup in the United States.

The 29-year-old joined on a six-year deal from Aston Villa in 2021, costing £100m, and his reported weekly wages of £300,000 could deter potential suitors.

Being left out of the Club World Cup squad suggests the two parties look like going their separate ways this summer, though who will be able to afford to take on such a big earner?

One players who is looking increasingly likely to be heading for the exit doors this summer is Jack Grealish.

The Manchester City midfielder has been left out of the Club World Cup squad by Pep Guardiola, and there were suggestions on this live page, from Rob, that Arsenal should take a look at Grealish.

The number of thumbs down on Rob's message suggests Arsenal fans are not very keen on that idea, but makes us wonder, will he be a good fit at the Emirates rather than the Etihad?

Benjamin Sesko is a long-term target and was close to joining Arsenal last summer.

Arsenal enquired again in January, but the German club were adamant they had no intention of selling and the Gunners did not want to antagonise them before a potential negotiation this summer.

Slovenia international Sesko has scored 26 goals this season - already an improvement on the 23 he hit last year. At 22, he fits the ideal age profile for Arsenal in terms of financial and technical growth.

But the appointment of new sporting director Andrea Berta has resulted in Viktor Gyokeres' stock rising, with sources indicating there is considerable internal backing for a move for the Swede, despite much of the groundwork having been completed on a deal for Sesko.

We have always needed a striker. We tried in the winter transfer window and now hopefully there is one lined up in the summer, but that will be a bit too late.

It will be the final piece of the jigsaw. That will hopefully be what makes it (winning the title) happen next season.

In November, manager Mikel Arteta insisted Arsenal's "very ambitious" vision will continue despite the exit of Edu as the club's sporting director.

Edu, who was widely credited with helping to transform the club back into genuine title challengers, resigned from his role at the start of November.

The former midfielder was heavily involved in bringing manager Mikel Arteta to the club, with Arsenal winning the FA Cup at the end of Arteta's first season in charge.

Captain Martin Odegaard, Ben White, Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus and Declan Rice have all arrived and become key players during Edu's tenure.

In January, Arteta's first transfer window without Edu resulted in a failure to make any signings, will the first summer without Edu bring more success?
