Latest transfer news LIVE: Arsenal handed Alexis Sanchez hope, Chelsea close on Tiemoue Bakayoko, plus Tottenham and London gossip

London's Premier League clubs are stepping up their plans for the 2017-18 season as the summer transfer window gets into full swing.

Arsene Wenger continues his bold approach with Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette and Monaco's Kylian Mbappe both targets to strengthen his front line, while Mbappe's Monaco team-mate Thomas Lemar is also under consideration.

Tiemoue Bakayoko is expected to complete his £35.1m move to Chelsea this week to kick off a busy summer of spending for the champions.

Things are less busy at Tottenham, but Crystal Palace can now begin their summer reshape after handing the transfer reins to new manager Frank de Boer on Monday.

West Ham - who have cannily added Man City veteran Pablo Zabaleta to their ranks - could do with a forward or two as they head into the 2017-18 campaign.
