Outside90 brings you the latest EPL transfer news and rumours from around the world wide web.

Paul Pogba’s return to Old Trafford is almost sealed, with the Red Devils announcing that an agreement had been reached with Juventus for the Frenchman to complete a medical at the club’s Carrington complex. The midfielder is set to become United’s fourth signing of the summer, and they will look to kick-start their season with a win away to Bournemouth on Sunday.

Turkish side Besiktas is a possible destination for Liverpool striker Christian Benteke according to the Express. The Turkish club are willing to spend around £21 million on the Belgian to bring him to the club on a permanent basis, or either sign him on loan for the upcoming season.

West Ham are on the verge of a double signing in the coming days speculates TalkSport. The Hammers are close to striking deals for Swansea City striker Andre Ayew and Olympiakos fullback Arthur Masuaku.

With the possibility of losing 26-year-old Ayew even closer, the Swans are in the market for another striker to provide competition to Fernando Llorente. The South Wales Evening Post claims the club are ready to break their transfer record in order to sign Atletico Madrid’s Borja Baston in a deal worth around £15 million.

Tottenham are set to secure Marseille midfielder Georges-Kevin N’Koudou in coming days says HITC. The deal will involve a move for Clinton N’Jie, who will head back to France after only joining the North Londoners last summer.

French defender Eliaquim Mangala and Ivorian striker Wilfried Bony appear increasingly likely to be heading for the exit at the Etihad this summer. Their futures come into further doubt after they were left out of the squad for a friendly against Arsenal as reported by the Manchester Evening News.

The Gunners and Liverpool are currently leading the race to sign Charlton youngster Ademola Lookman for around £2 million according to the Mirror. The 18-year-old performed strongly at the recent under-19 European Championships and has once again gained the attention of top-flight clubs.

Manchester United youngster James Wilson could be set for another loan spell in the Championship with Birmingham City reportedly interested in a deal for the 20-year-old. ESPN claims the youngster, who burst onto the scene with a brace on his debut, is set to spend more time away from the Red Devils first-team again this season.

West Bromwich Albion are being linked to yet another striker this summer after their pursuit of West Ham’s Diafra Sakho fell down at the last hurdle. Sky Sports is speculating that the Baggies are now interested in seeking a deal for Watford’s Odion Ighalo, who has reportedly been subject of a number of big bids already this summer.

West Ham’s hopes of signing Carlos Bacca have taken a major hit according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. The Colombian international has rejected the chance to fly to London to have talks with the Hammers, despite being given permission by current club AC Milan.
