Latest transfer news LIVE: Breaking stories, rumours, gossip for Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and London clubs

London's Premier League clubs are beginning to snap into action in the summer transfer window as the 2017-18 season approaches.

Arsenal retain an interest in Kylian Mbappe, but Arsene Wenger has stepped up his chase for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette - though there is, predictably, a sticking point between their £44million valuation and Lyon's £57m asking price.

Chelsea are closing in on a deal for Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, while Antonio Conte is also expected to add Everton forward Romelu Lukaku to his front line in the near future.

Tottenham have been quiet - a little too quiet for some Spurs fans - in the window so far, but the north London club will no doubt have big plans as they prepare for another assault on the title.

Slaven Bilic must get moving in order for West Ham to avoid another disappointing start to a new campaign, while Crystal Palace's summer may just kickstart if (and when) Frank De Boer is unveiled as the Eages' new manager.
