Manchester City remain actively engaged with Nottingham Forest over England midfielder Elliot Anderson, with negotiations continuing around £120m after earlier bids were rejected. Newcastle United are considering a third attempt to sign Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford, while Manchester United are weighing interest in Fulham's Antonee Robinson, the USA left-back who has started both his team's World Cup matches.
Brighton have made multiple bids for 19-year-old Croatia centre-back Luka Vuskovic of Tottenham, who started against England but was replaced 20 minutes into the second half. Liverpool have shown interest in Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande. The transfer window's opening has coincided with peak World Cup performances, creating a conventional but effective scouting opportunity.
Top foreign talent valuations may spike on the back of strong WC showings; bids for Anderson and Vuskovic could escalate if performances continue at current level.
