As ever, Sportsmail keeps you updated with all the latest news from across Europe.
Roy Keane has claimed former team-mate Ryan Giggs would be worth £2billion in today's 'mind-boggling' transfer market as clubs rake in massive fees for 'average' players.
The Republic of Ireland assistant manager admitted his surprise at some of the figures which have been paid this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain forking out a staggering £198million for Neymar and preparing to invest heavily once again in Monaco's Kylian Mbappe.
However, it is the prices which have been paid for players lower down the food chain which have surprised Keane.
Good news for fans of the Cherries. Josh King has signed a new four-year contract.
He had a superb season last year under Eddie Howe, scoring 16 goals in 36 appearances.
Indeed, last weekend he was unlucky not to put Bournemouth ahead against Manchester City before Raheem Sterling's winner.
ANDY WARREN: A familiar name has been added to the Chelsea ranks after the Stamford Bridge club completed the signing of Kylian Hazard.
The 22-year-old Belgian follows in the footsteps of brothers Eden, a star of the Chelsea first team who has won two Premier League titles with the club, and Thorgan in signing for the reigning champions.
He arrives from Hungarian club Ujpest, for whom he has played 42 times and will now join the development squad ranks at Stamford Bridge.
ANDY WARREN: Premier League clubs have just three days left of the summer transfer window to add to their squads following a hectic few months of wheeling and dealing.
Plenty of debuts have been handed out already this summer, with mixed results, ranging from high profile signings such as Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku to previously unknown players such as Huddersfield's Steve Mounie.
Here, Sportsmail assesses the Premier League summer signings.
JAMES DUTTON: Philippe Coutinho may not have earned his dream move to Barcelona this summer, but Neymar believes the Liverpool star will not come to regret it.
The Reds have rejected three big-money offers from Barcelona this summer, the latest coming in at an enormous £114million.
Jurgen Klopp and owner Fenway Sports Group were adamant the 25-year-old would not be sold this summer as they prepare for their return to the Champions League.
Liverpool are set to make significant overtures in the transfer market this week as Jurgen Klopp hopes to capitalise on an encouraging start to the season.
A club-record deal for Red Bull Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita went through on Tuesday, although the Guinea international will not make the switch to Merseyside until next summer.

The 22-year-old Belgian follows in the footsteps of brothers Eden, a star of the Chelsea first team who has won two Premier League titles with the club, and Thorgan in signing for the reigning champions.
Antoine Griezmann 'without a doubt' would have left Atletico Madrid this summer if the club were not under a transfer embargo, claims his former agent.
Griezmann was a transfer target for Manchester United at the start of the window, but said it would be a 'dirty move' to leave while Atletico are banned from signing players until January.
Preston have refused to accept a written transfer request from in-demand striker Jordan Hugill, the Sky Bet Championship club has confirmed.
The Lilywhites have been reported to have turned down bids from Birmingham, Wolves and Reading for Hugill, who put his desire to leave Deepdale in writing earlier on Tuesday.
"Preston North End can confirm that Jordan Hugill has (on Tuesday) handed in a written transfer request," the club said in a brief statement on their official website.
"The club have rejected this request and will not be selling him in this transfer window."
Wolves and Reading are understood to have had bids of around £8million turned down last week, while Leeds and Sunderland have also been linked with the 25-year-old.
Preston boss Alex Neil, appointed in July following Simon Grayson's departure to Sunderland, insisted on Monday that Hugill was not for sale.
Hugill, who joined Preston from Port Vale in 2014, signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal in October 2015.
He scored 12 goals in the Championship last season and has scored three in six games in all competitions this campaign.
...and yes he is the younger brother of Eden
Seriously as far as Twitter announcements go for signing players, this is one that has left me completely baffled as to what is actually going on. Over to you...
SIMON JONES: Newcastle United, who remain in talks with Chelsea over a loan deal for Kenedy, have also expressed interest in Liverpool's Divock Origi.
The Belgian is interested in joining Tottenham though Liverpool have offered him to Monaco as part of their bid for Thomas Lemar.
Tottenham are set to discover today whether their pursuit of Serge Aurier is successful, as they await the result of a work visa application thrown into doubt by the Paris Saint-Germain player's prior assault conviction.
Spurs have agreed a £23million deal with the Parisian club and have an agreement over a five-year contract in place with the player, but still require a work visa before the Ivory Coast international's transfer can be sealed.
SIMON JONES: Birmingham City are closing on a £2.2million deal for Brentford defender Harlee Dean.
Birmingham had an offer rejected for Bristol City's Aiden Flint and are in talks with Middlesbrough over the prospective sale for Ryan Shotton.
SIMON JONES: Leicester City have made an enquiry for West Bromwich Albion midfielder Nacer Chadli.
Chadli only joined the Baggies from Tottenham Hotspur last season but has impressed during his time at The Hawthorns.
Jovetic joins the Ligue 1 champions until 2021 for a fee believed to be in the region of £10million, as an anticipated replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe is edging closer to a move to Monaco's main title rivals, PSG, with reports in France saying the teenager had his medical on Tuesday.
SIMON JONES: Cardiff City have confirmed they have turned down an enquiry from Everton for Danish Under 21 striker Kenneth Zohore.
Sportsmail revealed last week that Everton were keen on the 6ft 3ins striker while newly promoted Brighton and Hove Albion and Hull City have had bids rejected.
Norwich have agreed a fee with Newcastle for defender Grant Hanley.
It is understood the Scotland international is yet to settle personal terms but the Canaries have made a swift move to sign him.
Norwich have shipped 15 goals in their opening seven games in all competitions as they struggle under new boss Daniel Farke.
SIMON JONES: Leeds United are closing on a loan deal for Pierre Michel Lasogga, 25, from Hamburg and are signing Malmo's Swedish Under 21 international forward Pawel Cibicki, 23, for £1.5million. They have also enquired about Newcastle United's Dwight Gayle.
SIMON JONES: Hull City have agreed a £3.5million fee with Wolves for striker Nouha Dicko.
Sam Allardyce has insisted he has no interest in returning to management 'at the moment' and believes his successor at Crystal Palace, Frank de Boer, deserves more time.
The 62-year-old's talk of enjoying 'a break from football' is, however, a significant departure from his statements when he resigned from the club saying he had no plans to ever return.
SIMON JONES: Sunderland have made an approach to take Sheffield Wednesday striker Jordan Rhodes on loan. The 27-year-old also has interest from Wolves.
SAMI MOKBEL: West Brom centre-back Jonny Evans wants to join Manchester City and would turn down a move to Arsenal in favour of joining Pep Guardiola's project at the Etihad Stadium.
Guardiola has targeted the Northern Ireland international as a fourth option in the centre of defence, with Evans' ability as a left-footed defender seen as complimenting the options available to him.
SIMON JONES: Newcastle United have asked about taking Udinese goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis, 32, on loan.
Rafa Benitez is willing to offload Tim Krul and Karl Darlow to help fund a goalkeeper signing. Jeroen Zoet from PSV Eindhoven, Crystal Palace keeper Wayne Hennessey, Paris Saint-Germain target Pepe Reina and Adrian at West Ham have also been discussed.
The Toon will listen to offers for Dwight Gayle, Jack Colback, Grant Hanley, Achraf Lazaar, Yasin Ben El-Mhanni and Henri Saivet.
And that move from Inter Milan should pave the way for Kylian Mbappe to seal his PSG switch.
SIMON JONES: Chelsea are ready to keep hold of left-back Baba Rahman rather than send him on loan to Schalke.
The defender had spent last season on loan at the German side.
MIKE KEEGAN: Preston, Fulham, Hull and Cardiff are all in the hunt for prolific Bristol Rovers striker Billy Bodin.
The 25-year-old, who has already scored five goals this season, is expected to leave the League One club before the window closes for a fee of around £250,000.
Preston are the frontrunners for a player who is in the final year of his contract.
SIMON JONES: Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira is wanted on loan by Valencia. The Spanish side had a request rejected last week.
Everton's chances of signing Hajduk Split midfielder Nikola Vlasic received a boost after the teenager was given permission to leave national team duty with Croatia's Under 21 side.

SIMON JONES: West Bromwich Albion have made an improved £10.6million bid for Fenerbahce midfielder Souza after their opening offer and payment structure was rejected.
Manchester City have made Arsenal a bid of Raheem Sterling plus cash in exchange for Alexis Sanchez in an extraordinary offer - with Arsene Wenger's men also asking about the availability of Sergio Aguero.
It comes as Sanchez asks to leave the Chile national team camp in order to sort out his club future, according to reports in the South American country.
SIMON JONES: Liverpool have made a revised bid of £74m plus Divock Origi on loan for Monaco forward Thomas Lemar.
The French champions had rejected Liverpool's bid overnight as they push to maximise the 21-year-old's price.
The deal is understood to be £46m up front with a further £28m next summer and comes after the French champions agreed a £28million deal with Lazio to sign Keita Balde.
SIMON JONES: West Bromwich Albion have revived their bid to sign Kieran Gibbs after the defender's move to Watford fell through.
Gibbs failed to agree personal terms with Watford after the clubs agreed an initial £6million fee.
West Brom manager Tony Pulis pulled out of a deal for Gibbs earlier in the window but now hopes they can find a compromise over the player's wages.
SIMON JONES: Leicester City are keen on Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak as a replacement for Chelsea target Danny Drinkwater.
The midfielder was a star for Poland during their Euro 2016 march to the quarter finals, but has been on the fringes since joining PSG after the tournament.
DOMINIC KING: Slaven Bilic will be given the chance to revive West Ham's fortunes following positive meetings with the club's hierarchy.
After three consecutive defeats to start the Premier League campaign, the latest coming at Newcastle on Saturday, Bilic was aware that his position was perilous given the abject nature of West Ham's performances.
SIMON JONES: Tottenham's pending new signing Juan Foyth has confirmed Maurico Pochettino convinced him to join ahead of Paris Saint-Germain. Foyth, 19, is signing from Estudiantes, and said: 'It’s a club that bets on the young. I also spoke with Mauricio Pochettino and I liked what he said.'
Tottenham have interest from Inter Milan in Moussa Sissoko. Pochettino, meanwhile, is ready to give 17-year-old midfielder Tashan Oakley-Boothe a chance to stake a first team claim this season.
SIMON JONES: Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have held further talks over a compromise deal for Diego Costa.
The two clubs are close to agreeing a deal that is likely to be worth around £40million plus around £10m add-ons.
Kylian Mbappe has completed his medical ahead of his move from Monaco to PSG, according to reports in France.
The 18-year-old Monaco sensation has undergone a medical in Clairefontaine while on international duty with France.
But it was Arsenal who threw in the option of signing Raheem Sterling into the mix.
The two teams are also going to battle over Jonny Evans following Arsenal's emerging interest on Sunday, as reported by Sportsmail's Simon Jones. City are ready to offer West Bromwich Albion £30million for the centre-back.
Manchester City have made Arsenal a bid of Raheem Sterling plus cash in exchange for Alexis Sanchez in an extraordinary offer.
It comes as Sanchez asks to leave the Chile national team camp in order to sort out his club future, according to reports in the South American country.
City are determined to sign Sanchez before Thursday's transfer deadline and have been linked with the Chilean forward all summer, while Sterling is said to be keen on the move.
The Austrian international has joined Mark Hughes' side on a five-year contract just three days before the transfer window slams shut.
The 24-year-old has completed his medical after the two clubs agreed a fee for the defender over the weekend.
The injury which caused Philippe Coutinho to miss the start of the season was caused by 'stress', according to a Brazilian doctor.
Coutinho has not played for Liverpool yet this term, amid intense interest in him from Barcelona, with the club citing a back problem as the reason.
Well this could trigger a few moves. No confirmation from the clubs yet but according to Italian reporter Gianluca di Marzio, Monaco and Lazio have agreed terms for the Keita Balde to move to the French top flight.
The player will now travel to the French champions to discuss personal terms. Watch this space...
SIMON JONES: Crystal Palace are hopeful of concluding a deal worth up to £30million for Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho but face competition from Leicester City as well as West Brom.
The Selhurst Park club had a £24m offer rejected earlier in the window but are trying to secure the 27-year-old France international who wants a return to London.
Leicester asked about Sakho on Monday after being rebuffed in a £23m bid for West Brom defender Jonny Evans.
West Brom also want Sakho as a replacement for Evans as they anticipate Manchester City will make an improved offer. Evans, 29, will be training at City’s CFA complex this week with Northern Ireland ahead of their World Cup qualifier against San Marino on Friday.
Manchester United's attempts to lure Ivan Perisic away from the San Siro will come to an end with the winger set to sign a new deal at Inter Milan, according to Croatia head coach Ante Cacic.
Jose Mourinho has earmarked Perisic as the fourth and final signing of the summer to complete the jigsaw he has spent over a year constructing.
MIKE KEEGAN: Manchester City did not receive a penny from Turkish club Antalyaspor for Samir Nasri.
Sportsmail understands that the Premier League giants were so keen to see the Frenchman leave they accepted a host of add-ons and a sell-on clause rather than a fee from the Turkish outfit to get him out.
SIMON JONES: Swansea have made an ambitious move to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Renato Sanches on loan.
However, the 20-year-old has several other clubs interested in him including big hitters Paris St Germain, Monaco, Chelsea and AC Milan.
Czech Republic forward Patrik Schick is on the verge of signing for Roma, the club said on Monday, a move which would complete a remarkable rise for a player who was playing with a midtable team in his homeland two seasons ago.
Roma said in a statement that the 21-year-old Sampdoria striker, seen by many as potentially the best Czech player to have emerged for several years, arrived at Rome airport where around 200 fans were waiting for him, according to Italian media.
SIMON JONES: Everton are closing on Nikola Vlasic from Hajduk Split in a deal worth £8million plus bonuses.
The 19-year-old earlier this summer and he impressed during their recent Europa League tie.
However, the Croatia Under 21 international may be sent out on loan should he sign.
JACK GAUGHAN: Jonny Evans is waiting on Manchester City offloading Eliaquim Mangala before leaving West Brom this week.
Pep Guardiola identified the 29-year-old as an ideal addition at the back earlier this month and believes Evans is keen to make the switch amid Leicester City’s firm interest.
Granted, Keita may not be arriving until next year, but Jurgen Klopp isn't done because next in his sights are moves for Southampton's Virgil van Dijk and Thomas Lemar.
Sportsmail's Dominic King has more here.
But you can bet many Premier League clubs will be using the time to thrash out some desperate deals with the transfer window closing on Thursday.
Proof? Well Liverpool are the early risers this morning after confirming a £55milion deal to sign RB Leipzig star Naby Keita...
