Exactly one week to go for the Premier League and things are heating up! All the Premier League sides, including Tottenham and Burnley who have been very quiet this summer, have started to make moves in the market.
Here are the top stories from almost all the Premier League clubs:
Joe Hart set for Burnley move
Daily Mail and The Sun are reporting that Joe Hart is set to have his Burnley medical today. He is set to join the Clarets on a three-year deal for a fee reportedly around £4 million.
Burnley already have two England goalkeepers in their squad but both of them are currently out injured. Tom Heaton and Nick Pope are expected to be their top 2 goalkeepers when fit and that would leave Joe Hart in a limbo.
Lucas Digne rejected Liverpool TWICE
Everton's new signing Lucas Digne was in the news after it was revealed that he had a "I never walk alone" tattoo on his chest. The Liverpool were all about mocking Everton supporters but the left-back's latest comments has sent them packing.
“My tattoo has a story but it's not about football. When I was three or four years old, I went for my first day at school and my parents gave me a necklace with these words. Maybe Liverpool fans are so angry against me because I said two times no to Liverpool. I'm blue.” said Digne.
Armstrong set for Blackburn move
Sky Sports are reporting that Blackburn Rovers have agreed a deal with Newcastle United for Adam Armstrong. The 21-year-old striker was on loan at Ewood Park last season.
His impressive performance on loan has got the newly-promoted side to make the move permanent. It is reported that Blackburn will have to pay £1.75 million to sign him, with add-ons that could see the price rising to £3 million.
West Ham United are not done yet!
West Ham are looking to sign Real Betis striker Antonio Sanabria, according to Marca. The 22-year-old scored eight goals in 17 appearances last season.
The Hammers are also looking to Bernard who is a free agent after leaving Shakhtar Donetsk at the end of last season. The Brazilian was linked with Chelsea and AC Milan recently.
Tottenham make a move...finally!
Aston Villa manager, Steve Bruce has confirmed that Tottenham have made a move for Jack Grealish. However, he has also made it clear that Spurs are nowhere near the valuation of the English winger and the deal is far from happening.
“I don't think we've had a formal bid. There's been discussions and that's been going on all summer. The one thing the owners have made pretty clear is that no-one is for sale. We all know what football is, but at the moment Spurs haven't got anywhere near what the owners want to consider - so there's not a discussion to be had at the moment, because they've not got anywhere near the figure they demand.” said Bruce.
Ahmed Musa joins Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia
Leicester City striker, Ahmed Musa has completed his move to Saudi Arabian side, Al-Nassr. The Nigerian star reportedly cost the side £17.5 million! Here's how they announced the signings:

Liverpool 'interested' in Aaron Ramsey
Liverpool are interested in signing Aaron Ramsey according to Sky Sports Journalist, Ian McGarry. The Welshman is out on contract at the end of the season and Klopp is said to be a big fan of him.
“There’s a little bit of interest from Liverpool, I understand. I think there’s no vacancy at Liverpool right now following the arrival of Fabinho and Naby Keita but Ramsey would certainly be a very good addition to Jurgen Klopp’s squad as a creative box-to-box midfielder. So, Ramsey is taking time and quite rightly to weigh up his options.” McGarry said.
Chelsea have also been linked with the midfielder while the possibility of him signing a new contract has also not been ruled out.
Ings sale to generate over £20 million
Liverpool are set to sell Danny Ings for more than £20million according to Liverpool Echo. Reports suggest a host of Premier League clubs are interested in signing him this summer.
Crystal Palace are said to be in the driver's seat for him with Newcastle, Southampton and Leicester City also interested. He was signed for £8 million by the Reds but never managed to seal at spot in the first XI.

The manager revealed that he had a word with him regarding the 'passport issue' and said that it was all fine. He said that there is no 'Willian issue' at the club and things are all sorted.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek to head out on loan?
Ruben Loftus-Cheek will pursue a loan move abroad this month according to The Times. The report claims that if he is not assured enough playing time by Maurizio Sarri.
Chelsea want Loftus-Cheek to stay at Stamford Bridge this season. However, the England midfielder is yet to commit to that as he wants to make sure that he is a part of the new manager's plan for the season.
Manchester United eye Lewandowski
Manchester United have set sights on signing Robert Lewandowski this summer according to reports in The Sun. The Red Devils are looking to offer Anthony Martial in the deal to sign the Polish striker.
Lewandowski was linked with Chelsea for a long time. He was also a target for Real Madrid but nothing materialised.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has ruled out the move and said that he is not interested in signing Martial. “We have four wingers: Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry. And Alphonso Davies will also join in January. You must not overdo it, like some clubs do, or you create a problem for the coach.” he said.
Martial returns to training
Anthony Martial has returned to United's pre-season training after the birth of his child. The Frenchman was criticised by Jose Mourinho for leaving the pre-season tour of USA midway and without informing him before hand.
His future at Old Trafford was a doubt but now it seems like he will be staying at the club. His only possible destination was Bayern Munich and they have ruled out a move for him.
