KIERAN GILL: Petr Cech has been unveiled by Arsenal after Arsene Wenger finally made his long-term target their first summer signing for £11million from Chelsea.

The Czech Republic goalkeeper passed his medical at Arsenal on Friday morning after Sportsmail revealed he had agreed to sign for Chelsea’s rivals on Wednesday.

Cech moves to north London on a three-year contract, understood to be worth about £100,000 per week, and could make his debut against his former club on August 2 in the Community Shield.

SIMON JONES: Manchester United are considering a second bid for Sergio Ramos.

United’s opening proposal was £28.3million, one that was considered a fair offer taking into account Ramos’ age, 29, and the fact the player has two years left on contract.

Madrid rejected that bid and Ramos is now on holiday in the USA. He has held talks with Florentino Perez and told the club president that he was unhappy and there is concern he has the personality to see out his threats and push for the move to Old Trafford.

LUKE AUGUSTUS: Iker Casillas is open to interest from Serie A side Roma with his Real Madrid future in doubt, according to the goalkeeper’s agent.

Casillas’ time at the Santiago Bernabeu appears to be coming to an end this summer, with Manchester United No 1 David de Gea heavily linked with a move to the Spanish giants as his replacement.

One potential destination for Casillas, if he did leave, could be Roma with reports in Italy suggesting that the Serie A runners-up are considering a bid for the 34-year-old.

JOHN DOWNES: Barcelona’s current president Josep Maria Bartomeu believes Barcelona must continue to invest big on players in the transfer market if they are to stave off competition from Real Madrid.

Bartomeu, who is running for re-election this summer, is desperate to add to the club’s solitary summer signing of Sevilla winger Aleix Vidal in order to stay ahead of Rafael Benitez’s team in all competitions.

Manager Luis Enrique’s Blaugrana completed a groundbreaking treble last season, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and Champions League.

ADAM SMITH: Paul McGrath believes that Seamus Coleman would be an excellent addition to the Manchester United squad – if they manage to persuade Everton to sell.

The full back is a long-term target for Louis van Gaal’s side but he won’t be let go on the cheap after signing a new five-year deal back in 2014.

McGrath, who played 163 games for United, thinks they’d be getting a top class player if they can agree a deal.

MIKE KEEGAN: Manchester United are undoubtedly the Premier League’s most successful side of all time, with 13 titles in the 23 years since the league was formed.

While much of that success has been built on the production of talent from their academy, it has been complemented by a range of superb signings.

Not all investments come off of course, and among the brilliant purchases there have also been a fair few duds.

Sportsmail takes a look at the 10 best, and 10 worst, United signings of the Premier League era.

ADAM SHERGOLD: Given the flurry of deals already done and the constant grinding of the rumour mill, it will come as a surprise to many that the transfer window isn’t even open yet.

The official start to the summer’s wheeling and dealing is at 12am on Wednesday (July 1), meaning all the paperwork can then be properly completed and submitted to the authorities.

The window will remain open until the earlier time of 6pm on Tuesday September 1 when it will ‘slam shut’ amid the hurly-burly of deadline day.

This hasn’t stopped the Premier League’s leading lights trying to gain a head-start in the negotiations however.

And so, as we approach the start of the transfer window, we take a look at the deals already done, those in progress and the others likely to happen for the big six clubs.

OLIVER TODD: Vitesse head coach Peter Bosz has admitted he wanted to get Ruben Loftus-Cheek to move to Holland on loan, but that his growing first-team influence at Chelsea has made a move ‘impossible’.

Loftus-Cheek was criticised for a lack of effort in a post-season friendly against Melbourne by manager Jose Mourinho, but the Portuguese coach still sees the 19-year-old having a key role in his squad next season.

Fellow Blues youth product Lewis Baker made the loan move to Arnhem last week in the latest in a string of link-ups between the two clubs but a move for Loftus-Cheek was clearly off the table.

JONNY SINGER: Elsewhere in Spain, Barcelona’s pursuit of Paul Pogba continues to dominate the headlines,with Mundo Deportivo and Sport variously reporting bids of €80m (£57m) and €90m (£64m) for the Juventus midfielder.

The paper also links Juve to Real Madrid’s Isco, while Arsenal are apparently preparing a bid for Arturo Vidal as the exodus from Turin continues.

Barcelona are willing to bid €90m (£64m) for Juventus star Paul Pogba, according to Sport

JONNY SINGER: Iker Casillas’ time at Real Madrid could be at an end when Manchester United keeper David de Gea arrives at the Bernabeu, according to reports in Spain.

For the last few seasons Casillas and another keeper have been able to survive in tandem, with Casillas playing in the Champions League in 2013-14 and La Liga last season, while Diego Lopez and then Kelyor Navas held down the spot in the other competition.

But new manager Rafa Benitez will pick one first-choice goalkeeper and stick with him for all competitions, according to Spanish paper Marca.

That means if Real, as expected, sign De Gea this summer, Casillas will be allowed to leave, with another Madrid-based paper, AS, claiming Roma is his destination.

SAMI MOKBEL: Crystal Palace are in line for a £2.5million cash injection courtesy of Nathaniel Clyne’s switch to Liverpool.

The England international will become Brendan Rodgers’ sixth summer signing and the Eagles are due a significant portion of the £12.5m fee Liverpool will pay Southampton for the right back.

Sources close to the £2.5m tribunal deal that saw Clyne swap Selhurst Park for St Mary’s in 2012 claim Palace are due in the region of 20-25 per cent of the profit the Saints have made on the defender. That means the south London club will net a windfall of up to £2.5m once Clyne’s move north is rafted.
