Manchester United have completed the £48m signing of Brazil international Andrey Santos from Chelsea and are in advanced talks to sign Aston Villa’s Youri Tielemans as they try to revamp their midfield.

It has also been confirmed United’s plan to sign Ederson from Atalanta for £35m has been scrapped for now after a medical highlighted an injury-related issue.

Tielemans’ Villa contract contains a release clause, which makes negotiations easier, and that a deal is close.

Aston Villa are working on a deal for Freiburg midfielder Johan Manzambi as they attempt to hijack a move to Newcastle United.

Newcastle had appeared to be in pole position to sign Manzambi in a deal worth in the region of £50m, but Villa swooped for the youngster.

Inter Milan have given up on signing England defender Trevoh Chalobah as they cannot afford Chelsea’s asking price of £30m, but Como are still interested in the 27-year-old.

The Serie A giants have also shown interests in Tottenham’s Djed Spence according to Sky Italia.
