Hello and welcome to the Mirror's transfer live blog on Thursday, August 6.

The summer window is well underway with Premier League clubs sealing big transfers, with the latest of those seeing Bruno Guimaraes heading to Arsenal.

His fellow Brazilian Vinicius Junior is also wanted by the Gunners, but the chances of him staying at Real Madrid look to have increased after a positive meeting. Head coach Jose Mourinho was involved in those discussions, and it's been claimed that Real had offered him a contract extension much closer to his financial demands.

Arsenal could turn to Bradley Barcola if Vinicius stays put, but his preference is Liverpool, with it now being claimed in France that he has agreed personal terms to join the Merseyside club.

Elsewhere, Manchester United are looking to strengthen at left-back with £60million reportedly set aside for Lewis Hall. However, he looks more likely to stay at Newcastle United following the departure of Eddie Howe.

Gazzetta dello Sport report that Juventus are seeking to secure a loan deal for Joshua Zirkzee this summer with no obligation to purchase.

According to BILD, negotiations are continuing with HSV Hamburg and Leeds United regarding a potential summer transfer for Sebastiaan Bornauw.

It is understood that Hamburg's sporting director Claus Costa is making repeated calls in a bid to secure a replacement for Luka Vuskovic following the conclusion of his loan spell from Tottenham.

Hamburger Morgenpost report that the Bundesliga outfit are eyeing a loan deal for the seasoned Belgian international.

Fabrizio Romano claims Vinicius Junior's talks with Real Madrid about a new deal are now in the final stages after reaching a verbal agreement.
