Wright-Things Heat Up: Transfer Rumors and Updates from the Premier League

London, ENGLAND - With the summer transfer market heating up, several top clubs are making their moves to strengthen their rosters.

Reports emerged that Manchester City officials met with Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz's parents during a visit to the German club. This comes as Manchester City is believed to be willing to spend £126m to sign Wirtz.

Meanwhile, Liverpool target Jeremie Frimpong, who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen, would be keen on making a move to Anfield if the Premier League champions come knocking.

The Daily Mail also reported that Pep Guardiola has held talks with Wirtz as Manchester City made their bid, adding steam to the already intense transfer chase.

As expected, clubs are closing in on several key signings. The Daily Mirror revealed that Arsenal is determined to sign a top-quality striker this summer, with Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko believed to be among their target list.

Other English Premier League clubs have also made moves. A scouting mission from Manchester United at Cristiano Ronaldo Jr's Portugal U15 debut was spotted by The Sun.

Ruben Amorim reached into his own pocket to help counter Sir Jim Ratcliffe's cost-cutting measures, buying Europa League final tickets for his staff.

However, the opposite occurred with Manchester United who cancelled their end-of-season dinner due to team performance disappointment.

The Daily Telegraph reported that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is considering retaining head coach Ruben Amorim next season.

Arsenal also made headlines as Sky Sports News understands the club are in pole position to sign Ipswich striker Liam Delap this summer.

Meanwhile, not all clubs will be celebrating a successful transfer bid. The Guardian revealed that Blackburn Rovers Women were informed they would likely not receive funding for the upcoming Women's Super League 2 season.

And finally, as an update from The Athletic, Manchester City have contacted AC Milan to discuss signing midfielder Tijjani Reijnders this summer.
