The summer transfer window is stepping up a notch, with London's Premier League rivals now in a race against time to bolster their squads before pre-season begins.

Chelsea are busy topping up their war chest with the champions set to gain more funds from the sale of Bertrand Traore and a sell-on fee from Mohamed Salah's impending £39 move to Liverpool.

Bayern Munich have warned off potential suitors off Robert Lewandowski amid links to Stamford Bridge, but there's better news for the Blues as Juventus will not keep Alex Sandro against his will.

Arsenal have not made big strides, but released their new Puma kit on Wednesday morning, with Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud all featuring despite the futures at the club being in doubt. Meanwhile, new signing Sead Kolasinac has been handed the No.31 shirt - following in the footsteps of Ashley Cole, perhaps?

Tottenham and West Ham's respective searches for suitable additions goes on, while Crystal Palace have the oh-so-simple task of finding a new manager before the players return from their summer holidays.
