Transfer news LIVE: United set to sign Ugarte as Chelsea linked with Toney

The Italy winger will have a medical on Merseyside after the two clubs struck a deal, which could rise by a further £2.5m in add-ons.

Chiesa, who has entered the last year of his contract at Juventus, has been surplus to requirements under new manager Thiago Motta, who has not picked him for the first two games of their season.

And Liverpool are set to take advantage and sign him for a discounted price after the 26-year-old cost Juventus €50m from Fiorentina.

Manchester United are not acting on the availability of Ben Chilwell, despite Chelsea raising the prospect of a deal in ongoing talks between the two clubs.

Executives of both have been discussing whether they can resolve a number of squad issues with mutually beneficial deals, particularly the futures of Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho and Chilwell.

The left-back had been proposed by Chelsea due to United’s struggles in that area with Luke Shaw’s injury record, but the Old Trafford hierarchy have decided to press on with their own options. It is understood the figures involved in any prospective deal, as one factor, were way apart.

The FA Cup winners will pay an initial €50m for the 23-year-old, with a possible extra €10m in add-ons, and he will undergo a medical.

Ugarte’s arrival will take their summer spending to around £200m after buying centre-backs Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, full-back Noussair Mazraoui and forward Joshua Zirkzee.

The signing of Ugarte means United will have strengthened every outfield department of their side. They believe the former Sporting Lisbon player, who was named in the team of the tournament at the Copa America, is one of the best young midfielders in the game.

That fee could rise to £9.4m including add-ons while United have a high sell-on clause, initially set at 50 percent, and a buyback clause if they want to bring the Tunisia international back to Old Trafford.

20-year-old Leicester midfielder Zach Booth has left the club for Excelsior Rotterdam after four years as part of the academy set-up at the King Power Stadium. An American youth international, Booth joins the Dutch second tier club after a season on loan in the Eredisie last year; brother Taylor is also based in the country with Utrecht.

Luton winger Chiedozie Ogbene has completed a move to Premier League newcomers Ipswich for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old Republic of Ireland international, who scored four times in 30 appearances for the Hatters in last season’s top flight, has signed a four-year contract.

Ogbene told Town TV: “I’m very excited and feel lucky to have this opportunity to play in the Premier League again.

“It’s an opportunity I had to grab with both hands and I can’t wait to be involved as soon as possible.”

Ogbene began his career in Ireland with Cork City and Limerick before spells at Brentford, Rotherham and Luton.

Everton appear to be inching towards a deal for Orel Mangala, with the Belgium international potentially boosting Sean Dyche’s midfield option with a loan move from Lyon. Multiple reports suggest a deal is edging towards completion – Everton of course lost Mangala’s international colleague Amadou Onana to Aston Villa earlier this summer.

Mangala spent the second half of last season on loan at Lyon from Nottingham Forest before making a permanent switch this summer. John Textor, who owns the French club, is attempting to buy Everton.

Andros Townsend has been left in transfer limbo after leaving Luton Town with new club Antalyaspor unable to register the winger.

Townsend has signed a contract with the Turkish club after making the decision to depart English football, but his move came after Fifa imposed a transfer ban on the Super Lig side.

It means that while he is able to train with his teammates, the 33-year-old cannot be officially announced as an Antalyaspor player or feature in matches.

Neal Maupay’s time at an Everton may be at an end before the window closes – Sky Sports suggest that Marseille and two Premier League clubs are eyeing the striker.

A switch of clubs for Scottish striker Lyndon Dykes, who has left QPR after four years in London. The 28-year-old has signed a three-year contract with Birmingham.

“The club has a clear aim for where they want to go in the future,” said Dykes. “It is ambitious and that is like myself as a player. I want to get to the top and I am hoping that can be with Birmingham.

“There are quality players here and can’t wait to get started. It is a top-class club and I want to help it get back to where it belongs and further.”
